CURRENT TRENDS IN THE BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER DISEASE
We do not knot complex etiology of Alzheimer disease so far. That is why we are not able to treat such a sever dementia causally. Procedures that affect known pathogenetic chains are used. Evidence based management is only a treatment with acetylcholineesterase inhibitors and memantin. Some other procedures are reported, but their effect is not positively confirmed as with procedures mentioned above.
Keywords: Alzheimer disease, dementia, acetylcholineesterase inhibitors, cognitive function, memantin, nerve growth factors, nootropics, free oxygen radicals scavengers.
