Dementia

to cure Alzheimer’s disease completely as it is a fatal disease. The drugs and therapies ensure the wellness of patients until they survive. The most vulnerable • The old people get affected to Alzheimer’s. • It is therefore also called ‘senile dementia’ • But it is not a normal process of ageing. • 5% of people with Alzheimer’s disease experience its onset when they are in their 40s and…

higher risk of dementia. Also, those who did not visit an ophthalmologist had higher chances of experiencing cognitive decline, which can be also associated with hearing loss. However, it is not yet known whether having and regularly wearing proper hearing aids can decrease the risk of dementia or slow its encounter. Dr. Lin found that those with hearing loss, that their cognitive will decline within six years. Also, older adults with hearing loss face an increased risk of dementia, which…

cholinergic input to the amygdala appears to strengthen emotional memories.” Memory that could be tuned, providing dreadful memories or dementia can be erased furthermore gone from the human’s brain. Enhancing the significant memories that everybody would love facing, as well by keeping their memories forever. Therefore individuals with post – traumatic stress disorder, dementia or even Alzheimer’s disease wouldn’t suffer anymore. 2.) Information:…

neurodegenerative diseases, or dementias, are characterized by progressive and irreversible degeneration of the neurons from specific regions of the brain. The pattern of neuronal loss is selective and compromises one or more groups of neurons, without affecting the others. An interesting aspect of these dementias is them arise without any apparent triggering stimulus and in patients with no history of neurological deficits. Alzheimer’s disease is the most prominent of these dementias,…

Introduction Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a rare, progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss. FTD describes a range of diseases that often start with changes in behavior, speech, and decision-making processes. As FTD progresses, it affects short-term memory. Over time, FTD causes the frontal and temporal anterior lobes of the brain to shrink. These are the parts of the brain that control behavior and speech. There are three main types of FTD: Behavioral variant FTD. This is the most…

Introduction Motor neuron diseases (MND) are a group of pathologies in which motor neurons are selectively affected. Amyotrophic lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a member of this group, affecting both upper (UMN) and lower motor neurons (LMN) [1]. ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease [1], with an estimated incidence in Caucasians of about 1,2-4,0 per 100,000 person-years [2]. ALS incidence increases with age, being more frequent between the 6th and 7th decades and in women more than men…

Walker Johnson Does the world have a plan to cure one of the world's deadliest diseases? Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that so far cannot be cured. It is the sixth leading cause of death in American adults. It affects about 13 million people worldwide. One in eight people around the age of 65 has it. And about 1 in 2 people over age 85 have Alzheimer’s disease. People with Alzheimer’s survive about half as long as same aged adults without it. How do we get this disease, and how quickly…

Alice is an amazing person who attempts to the best of her abilities to not allow the disease that is slowly destroying her mind to destroy her completely; she attempts to maintain what memories she can. The following quote from Alice’s speech at the Dementia Care Conference hit me in a soft spot and it stayed in my mind, I remembered it long after completing that portion of the…

primary goal is to improve temporal effects of the brain, and help those who have trouble getting their body to listen to them when it tells them to walk. There was a series of fourteen studies, with a wide variety of debilitating injuries such as; dementia, stroke, Huntington’s disease, spinal cord injury, traumatic head injury, multiple sclerosis, and hydrocephalus. Although the journal does admit to quite a bit of short term improvement, it seems that they did not have enough participants…

Accordingly, exacerbations could be a major contribution to the excess cost. An association between rates of COPD exacerbations and the use of cholinesterase inhibitors was researched in a report entitled “COPD Exacerbation and Cholinesterase Therapy in Dementia Patients.” Thus, the rate of exacerbations in COPD patients could theoretically be reduced by measuring the risk-versus-benefit ratio of using cholinesterase inhibitors for concomitant Alzheimer’s disease. In the lungs,…
