In which case you don't have Alzheimer's. The brain may meet the criteria for Alzheimer's, but unless you have the clinical syndrome, you can't diagnose Alzheimer's. You can say the brain fulfills neuropathological criteria for Alzheimer's but the patient does not have Alzheimer's disease. That's why clinical diagnosis is a much "dirtier" thing-it's dementia that you diagnose. We used to say, well, in Alzheimer's disease it goes slowly and progressively. Vascular dementia goes stepwise. This is with strokes, with big lesions. But there are these tiny lesions that may happen in the brain, which sometimes may cause catastrophic changes.</font> <p align="center"><font size="2" color="#FFFFFF">Alzheimer's disease,risk factors, Risk Factors, FAQ, research,what's new,marine corps marathon, Pardo,golf tournament, rainbow channel swim, special events updates, news, Resources, caregiving, Alzhiemers, </font>
