Why is it hard to cure Alzheimer's disease? + more videos | #aumsum #kids #education #children | Summary and Q&A

TL;DR

Alzheimer's disease is difficult to cure due to irreversible brain damage, lack of effective clinical trials, and variations in how the disease affects individuals. Body odor is caused by bacteria breaking down proteins in sweat, not sweat itself. Freezing onions, wearing goggles, and cutting under running water can reduce crying while cutting onions. Vocal fry is a creaky voice produced when vocal folds are loosely closed, causing air to bubble out.

Key Insights

• 🧠 Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder caused by protein malfunctions, resulting in plaques and tangles.
• 💝 Cure for Alzheimer's is hindered by late detection, difficulties in clinical trials, and variations in how the disease affects individuals.
• 😅 Body odor is caused by bacteria breaking down proteins in apocrine gland sweat.
• 💇 Freezing onions, wearing goggles, cutting away the bulbous root, and cutting under running water can reduce crying while cutting onions.
• 😚 Vocal fry occurs when the vocal folds are loosely closed, allowing air to bubble out.

Questions & Answers

Q: Why is it difficult to cure Alzheimer's disease?

Alzheimer's disease is hard to cure because it causes irreversible brain damage and symptoms only appear when it has already severely affected the brain. Additionally, finding effective candidates for clinical trials is challenging without a method to detect the disease in its early stages.

Q: What causes body odor?

Body odor is caused by the breakdown of proteins in sweat produced by apocrine glands present in regions like armpits. Bacteria on the skin break down these proteins, releasing an unpleasant smell.

Q: How can crying while cutting onions be reduced?

Cryi\ng while cutting onions can be reduced by freezing the onion beforehand, wearing tight goggles to prevent the gas from reaching the eyes, cutting away the bulbous root part of the onion, or cutting under running water to wash away the irritating chemicals.

Q: What is vocal fry?

Vocal fry is a creaky or raspy voice that occurs when speaking in the fry range of the human voice. It happens when the vocal folds are loosely closed, allowing air from the lungs to bubble out.

Summary & Key Takeaways

• Alzheimer's disease is caused by protein malfunctions in the brain, resulting in plaques and tangles that inhibit communication between brain cells and lead to memory loss and other symptoms.

• Cure for Alzheimer's is difficult due to late detection, lack of effective clinical trials, and variations in how the disease affects individuals.

• Body odor is caused by bacteria breaking down proteins in the sweat produced by apocrine glands, concentrated in areas like armpits and ear canals.

• Cry while cutting onions can be reduced by freezing the onion, wearing goggles, cutting away the bulbous root, or cutting under running water.

• Vocal fry is a creaky voice produced when the vocal folds are loosely closed, allowing air to bubble out.
