Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Several thousand reports detail information concerning potential causes of Alzheimer’s dementia (AD). Surely, a cure for this form of dementia must be attainable, which is why a Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine invites articles showing potential cures. Curing any medical condition has two generic approaches. The first treats all of the possible causes that contribute to pathogenesis; this requires dozens of drugs. AD may have >15 possible causes requiring >30 drugs, which could be administered sequentially in small numbers over a long period of time. Most of the few articles published about curing AD have proposed that approach. However, AD clearly has multiple causes, and these may differ from patient to patient, so a ‘one size fits all’ approach might be incorrect. A second approach avoids this by identifying, for each separate patient, only those components of pathogenesis that are actually operative. Articles using either approach are welcome.
