I have printed out the Wikipedia entry for “Alzheimer’s” (16 pages- no references).  I find in organizing a topical website, works best to study wikipedia categories then decide on the five or six best top level categories for a site that contains the best current and in the works research on a topic.   Alzheimer’s 2020 under disciplines.

Also like to go to the main association, in this case the   Alzheimer’s Association, to get their definition and their organization of resources.  Also of interest is Alzheimer’s Research Prevention Association

I Left the left sidebar open while editing and managing the addition of new pages to the drop-down menus.  Viewers will not see the sidebar and will not have the “overlapping frames”.
