Title: Are citalopram, fluoxetine and sertraline effective medications when treating Alzheimer’s patients. Author: Odalys Chavez Summary: This study will investigate and test how some medications can smooth the progressive advance of the Alzheimer in patients with more than 70 years. Alzheimer which is a degenerative disease of the neuro system due to memory loss is still being very questionable and debated. As of today there is no cure, nor reversal for the disease. Many researchers are still studding and looking for therapies and medication that can stop or reverse the development of the disease. It is very important to prove that some medications can help to cope with the disease. In my study I will be able to demonstrate†¦show more content†¦This decline occurs because nerve cells (neurons) in parts of the brain involved in cognitive function have been damaged and no longer function normally (. Depending on how deteriorate is the brain and its functions, it is the stage that the patient is in. Between the first and four years of develop the disease, the patient does not remember recent events or conversations. Following these frequent memory loss, it is a moderate or second stage that can last up to 10 years. In this stage the patient cannot longer cover up problems. Finally, there is the most severe stage, the last stage of the disease where the patient is confused about present and past. Due to people is affected by the disease in different ways; the symptoms are also different in each person. Also, it is different how people progress thru the different stages of the disease. It is extremely important to find ways to improve the symptoms of Alzheimer while researchers are trying to find the cure. Currently, there are many scientists conducting experiments and researches on how to cure or improve the symptoms of the disease. That is the main purpose of my research, to conduct an experiment to prove how some medications are very effective in smoothing the symptoms of the disease. Since there is not cure at this time for Alzheimer, it is crucial for patients, caregivers, and relatives, to have at least medications or therapies that can be effective with
