First described in 1907 by Alois Alzheimer, a German neurologist,
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a degeneration and shrinkage
of brain tissue. The symptoms include progressive memory loss,
bizarre--even violent--behavior, difficulty in speaking and walking,
incontinence, and confusion. Positive diagnosis is possible only
upon examination of brain tissue, usually at autopsy. The disease
affects not only the patient but also the caregiver, who for the
first few years is usually a family member. Witnessing the mental
deterioration of a loved one, as well as the constant vigilance
required to see that the patient comes to no harm, can weigh heavily
on the caregiver, who therefore needs support as well. With the
general increase in longevity of the U.S. population, the incidence
of Alzheimer's disease has risen to the point where it is now
the fourth leading cause of death in this county. Research into
causes, treatment and possible prevention has also increased,
along with the allocation of funds to sustain it. This compilation,
an update of TB 87-2, lists not only research texts but also titles
designed to help caregivers and family members. Not intended to
be a comprehensive bibliography, this guide is meant--as the name
of the series implies--to put the reader "on target."
