2. The number of people with dementia is estimated to double every 20 years and will reach approximately 40 million worldwide by 2020 due to the increasing aging of the world's population. There are 9.9 million new cases of dementia each year,and so health care costs will increase exponentially over time. It has been hypothesized that if the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common type of dementia, could be delayed in all patients by 2 years, the worldwide prevalence in 2050 might be 22 million lower than the current estimates, which would significantly reduce the associated costs.It is now well established that dementia includes a long phase of preclinical pathological changes that occur prior to the manifestation of clinical symptoms. Hence, it is necessary to identify modifiable factors and early interventions that can be a focus of therapy during these preclinical or prodromal stages of the disease. Q2.The main concern of the paragraph is about; A) imp...

The Hindu Editorial (Netanyahu’s Israel) 12 April 2019 Netanyahu’s Israel The April 9 parliamentary elections in Israel have underscored the structural shift in the country’s democracy — the right wing reigns supreme. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had faced serious challenges during the campaign. He faces corruption  allegations  that could lead to his indictment . The Blue and White party, formed a few weeks ahead of the election, had quickly risen to become the principal opposition force, giving Mr. Netanyahu a scare. He had lost some allies even before the elections. In the event, Mr. Netanyahu has emerged victorious. While both Mr. Netanyahu’s Likud party and the Blue and White got 35 seats each (after 98% of the votes were counted), he could become Prime Minister for a fifth time with support from rightwing parties. Likud has markedly improved its performance from 2015 when it had won 30 seats and still formed the government. The orthodox  Jewish  ...

5 The Ebola epidemic is testing virtually every aspect of the public health and health care systems in The United States, including health care institutions’ public service commitments. Although the number of cases in the US remains very small, an extraordinary amount of public and hospital resources have been devoted to preparing for new cases domestically. In contrast, although US hospital and medical professional organizations have called for an “enhanced focus” on containing Ebola in West Africa, there is a striking absence of public commitments on the part of US health care institutions to contribute to the containment effort. Q5.It is noted that in Ebola disaster, U.S health care organizations; A) Co-ordinate the effort with an “enhanced focus” B) Few hospitals are devoted to give care. C) There is the only negligible part they have done.

The BSP, SP, and RLD need to convince voters that they are on the same page The chiefs of the Samajwadi Party-Bahujan Samaj Party-Rashtriya Lok Dal combine threw down the gauntlet to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Deoband in western  Uttar Pradesh  on Sunday. The scale and fiery rhetoric were clearly aimed at forcing the momentum as western U.P. constituencies go to the polls on April 11, in the first of a seven-phase parliamentary election in the State. The BJP and its partners had won 73 of 80 seats in U.P. in 2014, and the State is central to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s re-election bid. The political landscape in U.P, however, has changed significantly in the interim years, both in terms of party alliances and social realignments. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s entry as a Congress strategist and campaigner has added new variables that could complicate electoral calculations in U.P. In this emergent situation in the State, the rally must have brought some reassuran...
