This age-related disease has become increasingly prevalent as our population of elderly persons has grown and now affects at least 4 million persons in the United States. Patients with Alzheimer's disease fill more than one half of the beds in nursing homes (1). Additional disability occurs because patients with even mild dementia are unable to comply with medical treatment for other diseases.Recent advances in our understanding of Alzheimer's disease as well as recently completed therapeutic trials suggest that a treatment...References1.

  • Alzheimer's disease is a major problem currently increasing in prevalence, is heavily age dependent, and has a specific pathology.

    “Alzheimer's disease, a major problem currently increasing in prevalence, is difficult to classify, and clearly deserves both preventive and curative study.This condition is heavily age dependent, and has a specific pathology (Beck et al. 1982;Blass and Weksler 1983).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
