The stages are early-stage, moderate stage, and severe stage. People who are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s on average live up to eight years after being diagnosed. Some people can live longer than that depending on the factors of their specific case of Alzheimer’s disease. The Alzheimer’s Disease Education and Referral
INTRODUCTION : 1.1 Alzheimer’s disease (AD) : Frequency of the Neurodegenerative diseases keeps on increasing with increasing age.

mammalian cell culture (Montaldo, n.d). New drugs and vaccines can be developed, and human hormones and proteins are able to be reproduced in a large mass. This is extremely useful, especially in producing scarce useful biological products in treating diseases. Examples of these products are vaccines, antibodies, interferon, tissue plasminogen activator and also blood clotting factor. Cellular effects of genes can be studied as well. This can contribute greatly in cancer research. Artificial tissues and
Like other racetams, it can have an added benefit of reducing free radicals and oxidative stress in the brain which can lead to degenerative diseases and neurological complications. However it is not advised to be used as a primary treatment for degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Dementia. It will only be capable of reducing some of the symptoms associated. The common observations of the benefits of Aniracetam include improved memory to store a lot of
