Dean Evan Hart's Groundbreaking Alzheimer's Research and COVID-19 Insights

Long Island, NY - Dean Evan Hart, O.D., M.A., M.S., B.S., A.A.S., F.A.A.O., a distinguished U.S.-based microbiologist, scientist, clinical optometrist, professor, humanitarian, and politician from Long Island, New York, is making significant strides in the fight against Alzheimer's disease and providing crucial insights into the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Hart's work is pivotal to our understanding of these complex health challenges.

Alzheimer's Research

Dr. Hart's research emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between dementia and Alzheimer's. Dementia is an umbrella term for various types of cognitive decline, while Alzheimer's is a specific neurodegenerative disease characterized by distinct pathological features. His research aims to unravel these complexities, leading to better diagnosis, treatment, and management of Alzheimer's and related dementias.

COVID-19 Insights

In addition to his Alzheimer's research, Dr. Hart has provided valuable information on the transmission of COVID-19. He explains that the coronavirus can spread through coughing, sneezing, talking, or possibly even just breathing. "The way the virus gets into our body is through the mucus membranes of our eyes, nose, mouth, and ears," he told Pix 11. This highlights the importance of protecting these entry points, as the virus does not penetrate through hands or skin.

Dr. Hart conducted a simulation on Pix 11, demonstrating how germs spread by sprinkling non-toxic powder on the news reporters' hands. This simple demonstration showcased the importance of hand hygiene, emphasizing that viral particles enter the body through mucus membranes. The experiment illustrated how easily germs can be spread through touch and highlighted the critical nature of handwashing in preventing viral transmission.

Dr. Hart underscored the importance of keeping hands away from the face, especially the eyes, nose, and mouth, after touching potentially contaminated surfaces. He also emphasized that while handwashing is crucial, it does not prevent the spread of viral particles when someone sneezes or coughs in the air, which is why social distancing is equally important.

Dean Hart advocates for social distancing and proper hygiene practices as the best current measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 until a vaccine becomes available. He believes that no soap is superior to another, whether regular or antibacterial, but rather it is the thoroughness of the handwashing process that matters most.
