Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other related progressive dementias result in significant medical, social and economic impact and are of great concern to the elderly population and their families. In the medical field, this concern is rightly justified. After more than 50 years of expensive research, the early identification of AD and even its nosological definition still presents difficulties, and the main therapeutic investments dedicated to removing beta-amyloid or tau deposits in the brain have been discouraging. The good news is that controlling the environmental risk factors for dementia (lifestyle, lowering blood pressure, physical exercise, and others) can decrease the incidence of dementia and AD in developed countries.
In this Special Issue, we aim to present a state-of-the art revision of several aspects of dementia and AD: nosological concept, clinical diagnosis (AD and mild cognitive impairment) with psychological, biomarkers, and neuroimaging aids, and main neuropathological data. AD therapy and prevention will also be updated.
We invite the readers of JCM to send articles on hot controversies about this subject, e.g., aging, immunity, diabetes, gut microbiome, nutrition, potential infectious agents, informal therapies, and chronic family and institutional care, in contributing toward providing a valuable update on this cumbersome disorder.
