Mechanism, Diagnosis, Medication, Care Guidance, and Health Promotion in Alzheimer’s Disease

Abstract

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is one of the most serious and prevalent medical conditions, manifested by memory loss and daily activity dysfunction. Many established hypotheses regarding AD, such as Aβ peptide aggregation and tau tanglements, have provided a fundamental basis. Despite the progress, AD still possesses irreversibility, and the current treatments generated towards AD only aimed to slow down progression. Therefore, further studies on AD mechanism, diagnosis, medication, care guidance, health care and health promotion are constantly conducted for enhancement and advancement. This review article briefly demonstrates long-established facts and sums up the recent discoveries on AD.
