Abstract

The present study examined clinical and neurological problems and clinical tests in Alzheimer's patients specializing in Alzheimer's disease. The cause of Alzheimer's disease is the deposition of a series of proteins called amyloid and tau outside or inside brain cells, which occurs by creating plaques or knots in these cells. This begins before the onset of symptoms, and fortunately, this factor makes it possible to diagnose the disease before the onset of symptoms with special devices. Clinical and neurological problems and clinical tests in Alzheimer's patients are of great importance. Over time, with the deposition of these proteins in the brain, the level of neurotransmitters in the brain decreases sharply and various areas in the brain begin to shrink. The results showed that the first area of the brain to be affected is usually the memory area, but it is possible that the visual or speech and language areas of the brain may also be damaged over time. Another factor that increases the severity of this disease is aging, with some studies showing that the risk of developing Alzheimer's doubles for every five years after the age of 65. A family history of dementia, such as Parkinson's, down syndrome, severe brain injury, a sedentary lifestyle, hearing loss, depression, and heart problems are among the factors that increase a person's risk of developing this condition.
