		In the 1970s and early 1980s, however, the name "Alzheimer's disease" began to be used, within and outside the medical profession, equally for individuals age 65 and older with senile dementia, and was eventually adopted formally for all individuals with the common symptom pattern and disease course in the psychiatric and neurological nomenclature.
		Alzheimer's disease is the most frequent type of dementia in the elderly and affects almost half of all patients with dementia.
		Alzheimer's is considered to be a major public health challenge since the median age of the industrialized world's population is increasing gradually.

		Various factors have been implicated in causing Alzheimer's disease including high levels of aluminium in drinking water and the presence in the brain of an abnormal protein, known as beta-amyloid.
		A second Alzheimer's gene was identified in 1997.
		In the UK in 1999 the chances of developing Alzheimer's for the 40–64 age group was 1 in 1,000; for 65–69 it was 1 in 50, rising to 1 in 5 for those over 80.

		Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is the most common cause of dementia and characterised clinically by progressive intellectual deterioration together with declining activities of daily living and neuropsychiatric symptoms or behavioral changes.
		For most of the twentieth century, the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease was reserved for individuals between the ages of 45-65 who developed symptoms of presenile dementia, which was considered to be a more or less normal outcome of the aging process.
		Recent evidence of the involvement of glutamatergic neuronal excitotoxicity in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease led to the development and introduction of memantine.

		Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease, is the most common cause of dementia and characterized clinically by progressive intellectual deterioration together with declining activities of daily living and neuropsychiatric symptoms or behavioral changes.
		Alzheimer's disease may also include behavioral changes, such as outbursts of violence or excessive passivity in people who have no previous history of such behavior.
		Alzheimer's disease is linked to the 1st, 10th, 14th, 9th, 19th, and/or 21st chromosomes, among others.

	Brain cells found to hold key to growth of certain breast cancers
		The discovery of DCD's effect on different types of cells may lead to new ways of treating not only breast cancer but also conditions such as stroke and Alzheimer's disease, which involve the death of large numbers of brain cells.
		Polyak and her colleagues decided to focus on DCD after finding it to be especially prevalent in invasive breast cancer cells.
		The response to DCD, whether in nerve cells or invasive breast cancer cells, is triggered when a chemical signal docks at "receptors" on the cells' surface.

	Harvard Gazette: Breast cancers tied to brain survival
		Since Polyak and her colleagues published their findings last month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, several drug companies have contacted them about the possibility of using DCD as a means of diagnosing invasive breast cancer, the most common form of the malignancy.
		DCD came to light while Polyak, who heads the Breast Cancer Genetics Lab at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, was looking through a library of genes active in tumors.
		Apparently, the DCD protein protects cells damaged by Alzheimer's or Parkinson's diseases and strokes.
