Dementia: Alzheimer? S disease; MEMORY, nutrition, exercise. Alzheimer’s disease is often confused with dementia differ ~ almost identical effect in all different symptoms each (not misleading are the same or similar to those caused other health problems). . . This is intended to omit the difference between Alzheimer’s and dementia to cope with both better ~ often academic, but useful knowledge in layman’s terms to explain Alzheimer’s disease?? S disease and dementia also some helpful nutrition and stimulate memory reality oriented suggestions from various sources on the subject, including the exercise for the main side effects of both dementia and Alzheimer’s. Dementia different about the genesis and progression, not in force, the main professional medical assistance, the elimination of all other possible causes include ~ because the same effects can be created and may be replaced by many other health problems, such as eg: controllable chemical deficiency Parkinson’s disease, usually treatable major depression, sometimes curable brain tumors, strokes or head injuries; completely curable thyroid or vitamin deficiencies, most infections of the body eg kidney infection or pneumonia (and in the older person, the effects of sleeping pills or drugs in combination made painfully change or loss in relationships, and changes in the usual habits, or environment). . . ‘Dementia’ means in Latin ‘out of the Mind “and was used to know the name, each and every case that the psychological functions on which the cause was not ~ in fact the name for schizophrenia (popularly known as” Split personality known to be involved deteriorated “), of which the patients were to be noticed, especially older people are not all at once was” dementia praecox ‘last word early or youthful as in the period in many ways dementia differences came when that be observed with or affect the biochemical function of the nervous system and sometimes the structure of the brain, the word “dementia” has come to refer only to cases of mental disorders in particular, where before the brain was well formed and colleges were well-functioning (as distinct from birth, caused mainly due to lack of oxygen at birth, called intellectual disability “confusion”). Dementia is now the name for the condition that used the results to such an extraordinary extent in the hardening and thickening and loss of elasticity of blood vessels as a result of insufficient oxygen in the blood and sometimes the brain through the arteries by age (as a result of cholesterol and saturated fat is deposited in them because of neglect in the diet and cleansing through proper inhalation and exhalation and motion), how old in the case of only about 10% of people over 70-80 years, so unusual cause cell death in parts of the brain, since the results to the extent of the nervous system, loss of control over one of the functions, the more psychological, that requires medical treatment and aid orientation of the reality in relation to space and time and other people and yourself -usually manifesting as a loss of (first short-term) memory and concentration. Multi-infarct dementia, also known as “senile dementia” or “arteriosclerotic dementia” or “vascular dementia” is what is increasingly be meant by the term â? Dementiaâ? ~ Among persons is usually over the age of 75 and rarely with such extreme and widespread loss of nerve cells and brain tissue loss is that it relates to deterioration of mental functions, primarily memory causes, but sometimes also eg Case and speech-es of results vascular condition (abnormally high blood pressure ['hypertension'] or any other condition relating to the blood vessels ~ Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease such as Huntington’s chorea, or they can also lead) that can suddenly with the onset and mini-stroke can destroy small parts of the brain, although for the time it can not be worse and may appear to improve even misleading, but as the second most common type of dementia, if the condition is treated, it will slow down and even prevented. Alzheimer refers’s Disease (the name on its discoverer) is a dementia as “Alzheimer’s sclerosis” (ie, hardening of biological tissues usually arteries and nerves) is discovered, connected the cable clutter of tiny threads (“neurofibril”, where molecules of the protein Tau “If clump wrong), processed by nerve fibers that accumulated as a neural conductors with abnormal concentrations of aluminum in them, lack of neurotransmitter level, a key chemical compound (run ‘acetylcholine), certain nerve endings transferred to help release electrical impulses, and deteriorated neural matter (“neurotic plaques”) a form of deposits of the protein (“amyloidB ‘) ~ atrophy of the brain shrinkage, is coupled to and probably through the hardening of the coverage it generates as a result, at the age often 40 – 60 (for whatever reason, it was also known as “pre-senile dementia” or “pre-senile sclerosis’ ~ ‘senile’ in terms of age, where exceptionally dementia) occurs, the loss of brain tissue (which is in contrast to the fallacy nothing with over or under use of the brain) – “Pick’s disease” as a form of (otherwise known as “convolutional codes atrophy Pick’s”, where the shrinkage of the cortex of the brain, in these cases also sometimes publicize with hallucinatory effects, and women sometimes some emotional instability [Although the science is uncertain whether atrophy is not the cause but the effect]). This type is about 50% of the dementia suffered at the beginning it is progressive and irreversible brain damage, cell loss, ~ slowly but regularly with increasing irritability, anxiety, anger, depression, and in advanced stages of unresponsiveness and loss of control of bodily functions as well as Immobility leads usually between 50-10 years of sometimes 20-20 years later to death, but science is the discovery that only 10% of the cases before the 60th Year of life, where some inherent genetic mutation may be affected has happened (on the chromosomes 1 and 14, most, and also chromosome 21 [this only to the extent that it causes increased production or depositing of amyloidB "the core of the neurotic plaques ']) form, and even then not always responsible for the early start (as in the case of a defective chromosome 19 [for "Apoliprotein' in transport cholesterol] is used) and 90% of which is after 65 years (and sometimes a drug ['tacrine'] has slowed the progression). Dealing with any dementia, including multi-infarct dementia, Alzheimer’s, without professional medical assistance is not possible and should never be attempted (because dementia develop differently among sufferers) are still allowed to medication without medical advice can be used (as well as “tacrine” is not always effective, and become in some fellow sufferers are agreed toxic to the liver) ~ by the following terms, are helpful in coping with Alzheimer’s Disease. . . Touch-heard view of Alzheimer’s patients deteriorated (sensory impulses are transmitted by nerve tissue [thalamus] on the sensory areas on the side of the brain), better lighting, some touching, clear language, a lot of help in caring for Alzheimer Diseaseâ? | Perception decline in Alzheimer’s Disease (the frontal lobes of the brain common controls perception) ~ reflective surfaces to avoid pulling Shadows (curtains at night), confusion (use 24 hours clock or labeled “AM / PM”) for the affected by Alzheimer Diseaseâ? | Behavior can in Alzheimer’s Disease (above can cause dissociative change reaction) to walk at night ~ keep busy during the day, at reasonable tire by night-names have a bracelet and name and address card in a pocketâ? | Memory is the most in Alzheimer’s Disease The first short-term memory ~ affected (“the law of the last time,” [modified learn best remembered no more]) holds, then the long term, but it helps to know and bear in mind that the ability to learn or relearn continue to focus and reality (a therapy in conjunction with space-time people think) is simply asked too often and get to say what to do, how, why, where, what’s next (“the law of Exercise “AIDS-repetition memory), and so beautiful (do ‘the law of effect”-stimuli response connection is stronger when pleasant consequences) to help family and albums and photos, strong in Alzheimer’s Disease. exercise, swimming, gardening, Dancing, Hiking / stroll (physical functioning of the brain [eg, complex voluntary movements by the frontal lobes] are infected controls) and the bladder can be trained. Sport helps in Alzheimer’s disease. Diet for Alzheimer’s disease should VitaminB: yeast, peas , fish (lack of it is getting worse possible hallucinations) to prevent constipation and de-hydration plenty of water (less salt retains fluids) and salad (a smooth roughage) ~ tea also and especially coffee, in the case of women (more so if to help 80 or more) have been discovered (this is not so for men because of the different male and female metabolism)-Caffeine can affect blood pressure and moderation suggessted. Few psychologists as dementia emotional conflicts are now looking at medicine in the detection of biochemical changes it as an organic disease, including Alzheimer’s disease. We must, in the case of concern, medical advice.
