- Dementia: Alzheimer's DiseaseAlzheimer's disease accounts for 60–70% of cases of dementia worldwide. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are short-term memory loss and word-finding difficulties. Trouble with visuospatial functioning (getting lost often), reasoning, judgment and insight fail. Insight refers to whether or not the person realizes they have memory problems. The part of the brain most...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4671 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: CausesMany causes of dementia are neurodegenerative, and protein misfolding is a cardinal feature of these. Other common causes include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia, and mixed dementia (commonly Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia). Less common causes include normal pressure hydrocephalus, Parkinson's disease dementia, syphilis, HIV, and...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4218 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: EarlyIn the early stage of dementia, symptoms become noticeable to other people. In addition, the symptoms begin to interfere with daily activities, and will register a score on a Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). MMSE scores are set at 24 to 30 for a normal cognitive rating and lower scores reflect severity of symptoms. The symptoms are dependent on the type of dementia. More complicated chores...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 3586 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: FrontotemporalFrontotemporal dementias (FTDs) are characterized by drastic personality changes and language difficulties. In all FTDs, the person has a relatively early social withdrawal and early lack of insight. Memory problems are not a main feature. There are six main types of FTD. The first has major symptoms in personality and behavior. This is called behavioral variant FTD (bv-FTD) and is the most...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 234518 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: LatePeople with late-stage dementia typically turn increasingly inward and need assistance with most or all of their personal care. Persons with dementia in the late stages usually need 24-hour supervision to ensure their personal safety, and meeting of basic needs. If left unsupervised, they may wander or fall; may not recognize common dangers such as a hot stove; or may not realize that they need...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 4155 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: Lewy BodiesThe prodromal symptoms of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) include mild cognitive impairment, and delirium onset. The symptoms of DLB are more frequent, more severe, and earlier presenting than in the other dementia subtypes. Dementia with Lewy bodies has the primary symptoms of fluctuating cognition, alertness or attention; REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD); one or more of the main features of...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 221471 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: MiddleAs dementia progresses, initial symptoms generally worsen. The rate of decline is different for each person. MMSE scores between 6–17 signal moderate dementia. For example, people with moderate Alzheimer's dementia lose almost all new information. People with dementia may be severely impaired in solving problems, and their social judgment is usually also impaired. They cannot usually...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 3524 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: Pre-dementiaPre-dementia states include pre-clinical and prodromal stages. The prodromal stages includes (1) mild cognitive impairment (MCI), (2) delirium-onset, and psychiatric-onset presentations. Pre-clinicalSensory dysfunction is claimed for this stage which may precede the first clinical signs of dementia by up to ten years. Most notably the sense of smell is lost. The loss of the sense of smell is...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 3459 Visualizações 0 Anterior
- Dementia: ProdromalPre-dementia states considered as prodromal are mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and mild behavioral impairment (MBI). Kynurenine is a metabolite of tryptophan that regulates microbiome signalling, immune cell response, and neuronal excitation. A disruption in the kynurenine pathway may be associated with the neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive prognosis in mild dementia. In this stage...0 Comentários 0 Compartilhamentos 3625 Visualizações 0 Anterior
