商品簡介
Alzheimer's Disease is the second most-feared illness in America, following cancer. It affects as many as 5 million Americans, a number that could soar to 16 million by 2050. It is estimated that, unless effective preventions are discovered, 10 million baby boomers will eventually develop this irreversible and devastating brain disorder.
Until recently, medical news on Alzheimer's disease was not comforting. But in the past few years, advances in many scientific areas---from diagnostic imaging to genetic analysis---have led to an explosion of knowledge with implications for treatment and prevention.
This companion book to the 2009 HBO Documentary Films series explores the cutting-edge research on Alzheimer's disease that is creating new hope for the future. It brings readers into the laboratories and clinics of the nation's top scientists and physicians in the field, investigating the complex cascade of events that occurs inside the brain when someone has Alzheimer's disease and showing how scientists are working to interrupt this process. It also looks at current drug development and at what we can do as individuals to potentially reduce our risk of developing the disease.
The Alzheimer's Project: Momentum in Science is a fascinating story of scientific discovery that shows what recent breakthroughs might mean for improving our chances of remaining cognitively vital throughout a long life.
