    As medicine continues to progress, treatment options for once incurable diseases are becoming increasingly more prevalent and effective. Unfortunately, treatment options for those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease have not experienced similar progress. Current Alzheimer’s treatment remains symptomatic, addressing solely the cognitive deficits associated with Alzheimer’s while failing to halt the progression of the disease and its neurodegenerative effects. In an attempt to further diverse treatment options for patients currently suffering from Alzheimer’s, novel protein receptors in the brain are being examined. Additionally, by identifying the structural motifs that define the pharmacophores of molecules which appear to aid in Alzheimer’s…

    In the 1960s, scientists discovered a link between cognitive decline and the number of plaques and tangles in the brain. The medical community then formally recognized Alzheimer’s as a disease and not a normal part of aging. In the 1970s, scientists made great strides in understanding the human body as a whole, and Alzheimer’s disease emerged as a significant area of research interest. This increased attention led in the 1990s to important discoveries and a better understanding of complex nerve cells in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. More research was done on Alzheimer’s disease susceptibility genes, and several drugs were approved to treat the cognitive symptoms of the disease.…

    First, Malala Yousafzai 's actions did not make the world more peaceful. Young girls in Pakistan are still fearful when they attend school (Maza 2013). Malala was attacked by the Taliban because she called for female education. This is the reason that made Malala famous, but it did not make the world more peaceful. Instead, it caused additional fear within her local community. What she did is certainly very brave on her part, but it’s not appropriate to give her the Nobel Peace Prize.…

    The first thing she did was write a blog for the BBC Urdu service about fears that her school would be attacked and the increasing military activity. Her following became huge as Malala continued to write about women’s rights. The Taliban however, was not happy about Malala’s point of view. On October 9, 2012. Malala was coming home from school on the bus with her friends when a man approached the bus. He jumped up into the back seats where Malala and her friends were riding and demanded to know who Malala was. Her friends looked at her revealing her position. The man immediately fired at her head at point blank range, the bullet however, remarkably missed her brain, it traveled through the left side of her head past her brain and exited through her left shoulder. She survived the attack and still continues to protest against women not having equal rights. Since 2013 she and Ziauddin organized a charity supporting women’s rights, the organization is called the Malala Fund and has raised 7 million dollars in the past 3 years. In 2011 she had been awarded the first Youth Nobel Prize and was nominated for Internationals Children’s Peace Prize. She even has a celebratory day honoring her on July 12. Malala’s determination to make a better world has been noticed by billions of people all around the…
