Seeking Solutions to Alzheimer’s Disease Through Focused Research

There is currently no known cure for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. This malady causes sufferers to endure increasingly debilitating cognitive and behavioral problems, eventually reaching the stage where patients can no longer recognize familiar faces or accomplish simple daily tasks. AD is the sixth leading cause of death in the […]

Developing Solutions to Growing Environmental Health Care Problems

As Margaret Mead once said, “We won’t have a society if we destroy the environment.” The growing environmental health field is concerned with what effects an increasingly-altered environment has on human health, including possible influences and toxins and how to control exposure to these hazardous physical, chemical, and biological agents in air, water, soil, and […]
