Alzheimer’s Disease

For your Assignment you will be creating a case study based on an individual who has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. One of the principle features of Alzheimer’s Disease is the formation of fibrous protein aggregates in the form of amyloid plaques. You will be concentrating your case study on the mechanisms behind the disposition of these plaques, associated neuronal death, and how this knowledge could lead to potential treatments and diagnostic opportunities.

Your case study needs to include:

A description of the problem or case question you want the reader to solve.
An introduction to the patient or case.
An explanation of the defects associated with this disease. Please concentrate your communications on the biochemical related events in the brain. You should provide bulleted highlights in the slide and then a detailed explanation in the notes section of the slide or a separate document.
A review of diagnostic and preventative measures.
