The most prevalent type of neurogenerative condition linked to dementia, based on the current situation, is Alzheimer's Disease (AD).
Medications used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease include the acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs, i.e., donepezil, rivastigmine, and galantamine), the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NDMAR) antagonist, memantine, and the anti-amyloid beta monoclonal antibody, aducanumab.
This chapter discusses any plausible correlation between malnutrition and the onset of Alzheimer's disease. An overview of Alzheimer's pathophysiology is included to offer an understanding of the various underlying causes leading to its manifestation.
Innovation in Environmental Technologies (ETs) is critical for meeting the Paris Climate Agreement. Through an empirical analysis we show that collaboration between NICs and G7 countries drives ET innovation in the former. Results suggest that much greater policy focus should be aimed at collaboration rather than technology transfer. Collaboration breeds more NIC’s innovation by inducing learning-by-doing, learning-by-innovating and learning-by-exporting
Green technologies (e.g., green preservation, processing, extraction, and analysis) and Industry 4.0 (e.g., artificial intelligence, big data, smart sensors, robotics, blockchain, and the Internet of Things) technologies rapidly becoming a valuable part of meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)over the past decade. These technologies demonstrate high potential to foster ecological and digital transitions of food systems, delivering societal, economic, and environmental outcomes. While a range of green technologies has already provided innovative solutions for major food system transformations, the application of digital and other Industry 4.0 technological innovations is yet to be adopted to harness their full potential to achieve a healthier, smart, more sustainable, and more resilient food future.
Dismantling racism in health care demands that medical education promote racial justice throughout all stages of medical training. The development of any anti-racism curriculum in medicine requires the ability to identify racial bias in practices we have not previously recognized as explicitly racist or unjust.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, several international initiatives have been developed to strengthen and reform the global architecture for pandemic preparedness and response, including proposals
This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 3 and 17 presenting the current mouse models to studying AD.
This chapter advances the UN SDG goals 3 and 17 by presenting how studying zebrafish and behavioral models and molecular markers in the study of AD.
The study shows that, despite most of the professional groups’ high level of knowledge about the study object and their high awareness of the importance of the vaccine as a preventive tool, the role of the healthcare workers as transmitters of infection is less recognised as a reason for vaccination.
