Healthy living is a cherished desire of every one, but the unfolding
age often leaves it unfulfilled for most of the people. Ailments are a part of
older age and seldom do we find any individual free from it. However, the
struggle gets more difficult when there is void of effective treatments to cure
the condition. Although we have made rapid strides in medical sciences in the
past century and have established curing capacities for lot may disease
conditions, there are still many that have eluded our understandings. We are
trying to trace some authentic clues for cancer, Alzheimer disease, muscular dystrophy and others. Alzheimer disease
is a type of neurodegenerative condition that progresses with advancing age; of
course not in all the individuals. The scientific fraternity is still busy with
its research endeavors without much of the substantial information in hand.
Michael Mullan’s Pioneering
Research
The dedication towards the conditions like Alzheimer disease is an up scaled one with many research institutes
and scholars engaged in the ‘in depth intrinsics’, particularly at the cellular
level. A great deal of funds is also being spent year on year and
philanthropists are upbeat about the funding and finance flows to carry forward
the research. While most of the current researches have not yielded anything
concrete, scholars like Michael Mullan
have emerged almost as authority in the field of Alzheimer disease. His pioneering research on the role of beta
amyloid protein in the progression of Alzheimer disease and Swiss mutation is
well accepted as a milestone in the field of bio medical research throughout
the world. He continues with his fundamental research on the cognitive
functions’ impairment that is characteristic to this specific disease and many
clues have been established that show bright potentials.
Roskamp Institute – Generating
Vital Research Leads
Dr. Michael Mullan
heads the research operations at the famed Roskamp
Institute, Sarasota, Florida, US. The institute is devoted to the
cause of establishing medical insights for neuro-degenerative disorders
including Alzheimer’s disease. A not for profit organization, Roskamp Institute
houses an elaborate and state of the art lab infrastructure that provides a
platform for the researchers. With special dedication for the Alzheimer’s
disease, the Institute runs its well articulated Memory Clinic so as to
generate robust and diversified data through the participation of the
volunteers. Institute’s Vision Research Program for Neurodegenerative disorders
is a frontline research maneuver that is first of its kind. It aims to link the
progressive loss of vision during the progression of neuro-degenerative ailments
like Alzheimer and Parkinson’s disease.
Get the Diagnosis at
Correct Time
Alzheimer disease most of the times go unnoticed and family persons often recognize
the symptoms of old age as a common phenomenon and never think of any disease
condition for their elders. This disease therefore has a much higher incidence
and the social costs of taking care of the afflicted are high because of the
progressive nature of it and associated decline of intellectual and cognitive
functions. Although any effective cure is still not available, proper
identification of symptoms at the right time serves as a vital indicator to
arrest the condition. Peripheral medications help in controlling the cognitive
loss and improve independence of the individual in his/her personal life.
