Health is a gift for the mind, body and soul and is the true wealth to cherish. However, this gifted wealth often gets aberrated due to disease conditions. If the person is lucky enough, then he can get cured with the available line of drugs; however, there are certain illnesses, the cures for which have remained elusive after long and dedicated researches.
Alzheimer disease is characterized by most of the dementia symptoms such as the memory degradation, visual losses, locomotor losses and identification problems among others. The pitiful aspect of Alzheimer is that most of the symptoms and manifestations are sidelined as that of old age in a very commonly accepted norm, thus leaving the aged person to struggle. The more educated and aware societies of the world have shown greater rates of diagnosis, if not the incidence.
Finding out the fundamental factors
The med community has been engaged in quality and deeper researches so as to establish the reasons, but the cure is still far away. There have been some authentic insight, of course, from some noted quarters like the Roskamp Institute of US. This not for profit research institute has under the inspiring leadership of Michael Mullan produced valuable leads as for understanding some correlations between Alzheimer and associated factors.
Dr Mullan is considered a global authority on Alzheimer research because of his pioneering studies that helped establish the role of beta amyloid protein which he found is overproduced due to a genetic inconsistency. Greater the production of this protein, greater would be the progression rate of the disease.
Running associated programs for holistic research
Michael Mullan is the CEO of Sarasota based Roskamp Institute and has been guiding the next phase of the researches to bring out more insights through dedicated programs of direct consonances. The institute runs its ‘Vision Research Program’ that is oriented towards studying the visual impairments in the dementia and Alzheimer by studying the patterns of visual cortex and optical nerves over the time in the Alzheimer patients.
The Institute also runs Memory Clinics where objective counseling is offered with the aim of arresting the disease progression. The Roskamp Institute also studies the effect of the potential risk factors as for Alzheimer disease such as the head injuries, family history, depression and hypertension among others. Such correlations have proved to be beneficial as for prescribing the care suggestions for the person where already the onset has been diagnosed.
Carrying out effective yet ethical clinical trials -
The research maneuvers of the Institute are complemented by the ‘Clinical Trials Division’ of it which is an attempt to collect the most authentic of the databases from the willing volunteers in an ethical manner. The volunteers are offered potential cures free of cost together with effective cushioning against the side effects.
Michael Mullan has established some of the finest standards in this Sarasota institute which is escorting the care and cure attempts with the best of the Biomedical Researcher community at its end. The findings of this Institute have been validated by noted journals that demonstrate the efficacies.
