This book is a comprehensive guide to the pathology, underlying mechanisms, and treatment options for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The book starts with an introduction to the basic anatomy and physiology of the central nervous system, followed by an overview of the types, classifications, and basic concepts of neurodegenerative disorders. The epidemiology, etiology, risk factors, and future predictions of AD have been covered in detail. The book then delves into the pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms of plaque formation and explores the correlation of AD with other psychological and non-psychological conditions. The chapters also explore the diagnosis of AD, including types of plaques an...
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive and lethal form of primary brain tumor in adults, characterized by rapid growth, high invasiveness, and resistance to conventional therapies. Current treatment options offer limited survival benefits. However, recent advancements in molecular biology, genomics, and drug delivery systems pave the way for more effective, targeted therapeutic strategies. Emerging approaches include immunotherapy, gene editing, and personalized medicine. Novel drug candidates and repurposed agents are explored in clinical trials, overcoming the blood-brain barrier and targeting specific mutations driving glioblastoma progression. These evolving therapies may improve outcomes a...
