==Media ==
Hello everyone! I'm a student at BYU-I. I am in Adult Development this semester and we are helping with wikipedia articles! I am so excited to learn. This is all in my own opinion and do not plan on changing anything, I just want to put this out there. The media section of this article seems a little random and unneeded. Is there a reason why that sections is in there? I think it would make more since to just take it out because it does not add to the facts of AD it's just a very random section of information people do not need to understand this disease. Again I do not plan on changing anything, Thank you for your time and keep up the great work! ] (]) 16:20, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Alzheimer's disease and oral health

This Misplaced Pages article doesn't mention the role of gum disease in the development of Alzheimer's disease. Jarble (talk) 19:24, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages typically uses secondary sources, not primary studies to source content. If you can access the full content of PMID 32097126, which is a 2020 secondary review, it might be useful. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:43, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
@SandyGeorgia: The article also doesn't mention the possible role of other viral infections in the development of this disease. Should any of these hypotheses be mentioned in this section? Jarble (talk) 05:23, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
It's probably WP:UNDUE unless there is a lot more than scattered primary sources. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:07, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Computer-aided diagnosis

@SandyGeorgia: I added an excerpt describing computer-aided diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Do we need consensus in order to include this topic in the article? Jarble (talk) 05:41, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Do you have any secondary sources? I've never seen it mentioned in a broad overview, making it UNDUE here. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 05:57, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Cause of Alzheimer’s

Not able to be sure, as I have not talk with anyone about this, but I am guessing that Alzheimer’s is caused by another person dying, like their lover or the flu shot for most occasions.

Why do I say this? It is because, if I was told correctly, white blood cells end up expanding to ten times the area of what it was when it was alive. That could be a big problem if they are stored in the mind. It would cause the person to have problems using their brain in the area that the fat was at if the white blood cells died, which would happen if the person it came from passed away.

Another thing is do we store them in our brains or somewhere else? I know we keep them in our bodies because we get healthier and do not loose it. If we did we would feel noticeable feelings of weaker, tired, and sickness but only if the person that it came from dies.

We do not make another persons white blood cells either, so we have to store them somewhere in our bodies. If we made them we would be clearer in the output of our cum the stronger we got.

Also it would not be noticeable right away, because it would take time for the white blood cells to expand. They might want to ask look into asking people that either have had it or know people that had it to see how long it would take for the Alzheimer’s to set in after the maker of the white blood cells had passed. 166.181.84.251 (talk) 08:51, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Update this page to keep up with current Research

I have been looking at "Management" section of this article and it seems to need some help keeping up with current research of what treatment options are available whether they are options such as medications, caregiving options, etc. Jenna.Hill1 (talk) 02:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
