{"Image DocumentName": "linked to the histopathology of Alzheimer disease.", "Image ImageDescription": "NEUROLOGIC. linked to the histopathology of Alzheimer disease. Alzheimer disease : illness with deterioration of mental functions related to memory, judgment and abstract thinking, plus personality/behavior changes. The distinctive pathohistological features : neurofibrillary tangles, senile plaques and amyloid deposits. According to some sources, aluminum is linked to these senile plaques and amyloid deposits. Increased concentrations of aluminum have been found in the brain tissue of patients with Alzheimer disease. It is still unclear whether aluminum is involved etiologically in this disease or exists merely as a marker of some other pathophysiologic process. Occupational exposure to aluminum has been associated with cognitive deficits and delayed reaction times. Rather than aluminum having an etiologic function, one theory is that some primary pathogenic event or events responsible for Alzheimer disease may affect the genetically-determined barriers to aluminum, resulting in increased amounts of aluminum being accessible to vulnerable target sites in the brain (Crapper McLachlan, 1986b).", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
