ALZHEIMER'S HISTORY

The disease is the first time, discovered by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1907, the so-called Alzheimer's, according to his name.Results of surgical observation, Alzheimer's disease brain nerves are found not only to shrink instead filled with lumps exceptional protein called amyloid plaques and fibers convoluted (neuro fibrillary).Amyloid protein that form plaque cells proteins, believed to cause changes in brain chemistry. Destruction of nerve cells causes the brain nerves convey messages from one neuron to another neuron affected.Although this disease is initially discovered almost a century ago, he was not as well known as other diseases such as heart disease, hypertension, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) or the like.This likely caused by this disease can not be seen directly as the disease symptoms of hypertension that can be seen through examination of blood pressure regularly.Recent clinical research showed supplementation with omega-3 may slow decrease cognitive function in people with mild Alzheimer's.
