The Combination of Aricept and Namenda Helps Slow the Rate of Decline in Alzheimer's Patients

Amplify’d from www.alzheimersreadingroom.com

"The results of this study should change the way we treat patients with Alzheimer's disease. Cholinesterase inhibitors are approved for use in mild to moderate dementia, while memantine has been approved for advanced dementia. But it looks like there is an advantage in prescribing both drugs (Aricept and Namenda) as initial treatment."--John Growdon, MD

Alzheimer's, Delirium, and the Dreaded Urinary Tract Infection

Amplify’d from www.alzheimersreadingroom.com

Delirium is a sudden alteration in mental status -- brain failure in a vulnerable individual, often an older adult with multiple health issues, caused by something else such as medications, urinary tract infection, lack of sleep, excessive light or noise or pain.

Delirium, which occurs suddenly, is not the same as dementia, although individuals with dementia are more susceptible to developing delirium during hospitalization than individuals without dementia.

Learning How to Communicate with Someone Suffering From Alzheimer's Disease

Amplify’d from www.alzheimersreadingroom.com

The article described in layman's terms how problems with short term memory are directly related to the region of the brain known as the hippocampus; and, how when this brain region stops functioning properly a person losses their ability to store information.

A person suffering from Alzheimer's disease can hear you and even respond to you. What they don't do well is remember what the hell you just said. Well, in layman's terms anyway.

I grappled with this problem several years ago as I was constructing my own understanding of how Dotty was thinking (or not thinking) and feeling. I named the parallel universe that Dotty lives in -- Alzheimer's World.

Jason Karlawish

University of Pennsylvania

When I was in medical school, we spoke of senility. Alzheimers disease was an uncommon cause of dementia.

When I started practicing geriatric medicine at the end of the 20th century, Alzheimers disease was established as the most common cause of dementia.

Now, I am witnessing the dawn of a new age of Alzheimers disease, an age that will be marked by the end of Alzheimers disease.

Brainy App for Alzheimer's

Researchers from the University of New South Wales have developed a new free app which might help reduce the risk or delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.

By Bob DeMarco
Alzheimer's Reading Room

BrainyApp was developed by Alzheimer’s Australia and Bupa Health Foundation to raise awareness of the risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia, and to help you live a brain healthy life.

"People need to start thinking about their brain health earlier in life. The changes in the brain that lead to dementia can start when people are in their 30s and 40s,"

Although the evidence is still developing, we are learning that there are a wide range of lifestyle choices and activities that can improve brain health, and which in turn may reduce the risk of dementia." -- Dr Michael Valenzuela, head of the Regenerative Neuroscience Group at the University of New South Wales

Download BrainyApp Today – FREE!

Most of the top notch Alzheimer's scientist believe that lifestyle choices can/might make a difference in the onset of Alzheimer's disease. This is a strong and growing belief.

I share this belief.

Let me make this simple. I would have given my right arm for a few more years with the lovable, real life character, Dotty. My mother.

I think most Alzheimer's caregivers feel the same way I do.

If good lifestyle choices delayed the onset of Alzheimer's by a few years it would be well worth the effort. Besides, sooner or later there is going to be a treatment that either stops, or dramatically slows the progression of Alzheimer's.

Current studies indicated if the onset of Alzheimer's could be delayed by five years the number of persons suffering from Alzheimer's would be cut in half.

Its worth checking out. Plus, its free.

Good enough for me. You decide for yourself.

I have no relationship of any type with Brainy App or its inventors.
