The disease can begin many years before finally diagnosed. At
first, the loss of short-term memory is the most common symptom , often
initially thought to be caused by aging or stress by the victim.
Later symptoms include confusion , anger, mood swings, bouts of language , loss of long-term memory , and the general withdrawal of the victim that their sense decline. Gradually , the victim loses minor, and major bodily functions, until death occurs . Although the symptoms are common , each person has symptoms of a unique way. The duration of the disease is estimated between 5 and 20 years.
More than 4.5 million Americans are believed to have Alzheimer's disease and , by 2050 , the number could increase to 13.2 million euros . Approximately 65,800 people die and 350,000 new cases of Alzheimer's disease are diagnosed each year. United States are not alone in the treatment of this terrible disease. In all countries where life expectancy has increased , so has the incidence of Alzheimer's disease . Alzheimer's disease is becoming tragically common . There are an estimated 26 million people worldwide suffering from Alzheimer's disease. This figure is expected to grow by more than 106 million people in 2050 .
The first sign of Alzheimer's disease is a model in the process of forgetting things . It begins to affect the daily life of a person. He or she can forget the supermarket or the names of family and friends . This stage of the disease can last a long time or progress rapidly , causing memory loss and forgetfulness worse.
Although some kinds of memory loss are normal parts of aging, the changes due to aging are not severe enough to interfere with the function level . Many different diseases cause dementia, but Alzheimer's disease is by far the most common cause of dementia in the United States and in most countries in the world cause.
Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person 's ability to perform daily activities. The most common form of dementia among older people is Alzheimer's disease (AD ) 's , which initially involves the parts of the brain that control thought , memory and language. Although scientists are learning more every day now , I still do not know what causes AD, and there is no cure.
There is no cure for AD and no way to slow the progression of the disease. For some people, the beginning or middle of AD drugs such as tacrine ( Cognex ) may alleviate some cognitive symptoms . Donepezil (Aricept) , rivastigmine (Exelon) and galantamine (Reminyl ) may worsen symptoms for a limited time . A fifth drug , memantine ( Namenda ) , has recently been approved for use in the United States. Memantine combined with others.
The likelihood of having Alzheimer's disease increases substantially after the age of 70 and may affect around 50% of people over 85 years . However , Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging and is not something that inevitably happens in later life . For example, many people live to over 100 years of age and never develop Alzheimer's disease .
Alzheimer's drugs may be more effective than alone. A controlled clinical trial found that patients receiving donepezil and memantine had a better knowledge and other functions that only patients receiving donepezil . Other medicines may help control behavioral symptoms such as sleeplessness , agitation , wandering, anxiety and depression.
The marker , called Pittsburgh Compound -B, was used for a PET scan of a woman diagnosed with Alzheimer 's disease 10 months before his death. The marker shows the buildup of plaque in the same areas of the brain where plaques at autopsy.
