2. ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Is a type of dementia that causes dangerous and
radical problems in a person’s way of
thinking, memory, and behavior
Dementia is the general term used to describe
memory loss and other intellectual abilities that
negatively affects a patient’s daily life
3. PROBLEM
Are pharmacology trial based studies more efficient
than common clinical studies on the diagnosis of
Alzheimer’s disease ?
Does having any cardiovascular condition directly
affects the possibility of a person under the age of
65 to develop Alzheimer’s disease in the future ?
4. HYPOTHESIS
Trial research based on pharmacology experiments
will be the best way to diagnose and treat
Alzheimer’s disease
People with cardiovascular conditions will have
more possibilities of suffering Alzheimer’s disease
than does who do not
5. OBJECTIVES
To take advantage of my experiment’s results for a
better understanding of the disease
To prove that “trial studies” are the best way to
recognize and diagnose Alzheimer’s disease
To prove people with cardiovascular conditions are
more likely to develop Alzheimer before the age of
65 years old
6. METHODOLOGY
Clinical studies will consist of 2 groups of people
within the ages of 45 to 65 years old
Each group will consist of 100 members
Pharmacology Trials
Four groups of 25 members
One half will have cardiovascular condition history
One half will not
Experimental drugs will be considered on this research
7. PATIENT’S CONSENT
Each participant of the Pharmacology Trial study
must sign an informed consent
agreement, affirming that he or she is willing to
participate, and understands the study and its
purpose.
8. EXPECTED RESULTS
Trial research will be more efficient than Clinical
studies to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease
Patients with a history of cardiovascular conditions
will be more likely to suffer Alzheimer’s disease
under the age of 65
9. LONG TERM GOALS
To drastically influence the way Alzheimer’s disease
is diagnosed
To develop new treatments based on premature
intervention that would save a patient’s life
