# data[].attributes.body
Scientists believe that Alzheimer's is caused by a many factors including genetics, lifestyle, and environment. All these factors can effect the brain in different ways. Alzheimer's is also associated with plaques, build up of protein fragments between nerve cells, and tangles, twisted fibers of proteins. But no clear connection has been made.

Though no cure currently exists, medication such as cholinesterase inhibitors help reduce the cognitive symptoms. Since Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, the brain cells die as the symptoms worsen. Existing medication cannot stop the damage already done, but it can stabilize and slow down the process. Other medication is available to treat behavioral symptoms based on the patient (anger, depression, anxiety, etc.)

Alzheimer's, being a progressive disease, worsens over time. Usually, people with Alzheimer's disease tend to live 3-11 years after their diagnosis. However, some survive 20 years or more. It could also depend on whether they are diagnosed with mild, moderate, or severe Alzheimer's in the first place.

# data[].attributes.body
Tetanus is caused by a poison made by the spores of a bacteria called Clostridium tetani which is commonly found in soil, dust, and animal poop. The spore grows into bacteria that can produce a powerful toxin, tetanospasmin, when it enters a cut. Tetanospasmin damages motor neurons.

Tetanus is preventable by 4 created vaccines: DTaP, DT, Tdap, and the Td vaccine. However, if tetanus does infect a wound treatment should be sought immediately. An injection of tetanus antitoxin will be given to treat the disease as well as medications such as chlorpromazine or diazepam to control muscle spasms.
