Alzheimer's is a progressive degenerative disease and a form of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior and ultimately loses control in reasoning, planning , language and perception.
Dementia is a serious disorder that affects a person 's ability to perform daily activities. Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease . Known cases of this disease is the U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The disease is named after the German doctor Aloi Alzheimer first described the disease.
United States of Alzheimer's disease is the seventh leading cause of death and there is no cure for the disease today. The disease begins slowly and over time , the symptoms worsen. Patients even forget how to brush their teeth and comb .
In any form of dementia , memory loss is an important element for diagnosis. The pace of development and progress in each person is different from another. If diseases are rapidly changing , continue to grow rapidly and so slow disease progression , will continue at a slow pace. The elderly are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and not a part of normal aging risk. Family history is a risk factor. In addition to the story of elderly and family , there are other factors also like:
(A) a very old blood pressure , diabetes , coronary heart disease .
(B) history of head injury or damage.
(C) High levels of homocysteine .
(D) being a woman or women live longer than men, are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease .
Two types of Alzheimer's disease is the early and late onset . Symptoms appear before the age of 60 early .
The exact cause of Alzheimer's disease is not known, but is believed to be based on genetic and environmental factors. Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed by its distinctive symptoms and excluding other causes of dementia . The period of the disease can vary from five to 20 years depending on the age in which it was assigned .
Symptoms include :
(A) The repetition of statements and judgments.
(B ) points lost.
(C) The forgetting the names of familiar objects and people.
(D ) changes in personality , such as less spontaneity and apathy are inclined to withdraw from social interaction.
(E) loss of interest in things previously enjoyed .
(F) The difficulty performing tedious tasks such as balancing the checkbook and play complex games .
(G) The change of mood.
The most obvious symptoms can be seen at an advanced stage of the disease. They are:
(A) A memory leak in the news .
(B) Did you forget your self and events of your life.
(C) You can not choose the right clothes .
(D) Discouraged, nervous and fantasy.
(E) Difficulty performing tasks such as meal preparation and conduct .
At the last stage, the patient can not survive with the help until death. The symptoms are:
(A) does not understand the language and can not communicate .
(B ) can not recognize family members .
(C) You can do basic everyday things like eating , dressing and bathing.
Alzheimer's disease occurs in about 50% of people aged 85 but not normal people lived over 100 years never developed Alzheimer's disease. It usually occurs in people over 70 years. One factor in this disease risk is age. The frequency of the disease increases as the population ages. There are very few cases of Alzheimer's disease at 40 and 50 , 2% -5 % of patients. Half of these patients the disease of early onset is due to a mutation of the gene and the offspring of the patient with early onset disease are also at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease . The Alzheimer's disease with late onset is due to a common form of gene located on chromosome 19 . But most patients do not have to identify the specific genetic risks .
Getting syndrome patients develop changes in the brain of Alzheimer's disease 40 years old d. Those with Alzheimer's disease in most other diseases, such as heart disease or other health problem rather than Alzheimer's disease .
The increased incidence of this disease in women is brought in the investigation of the role of the hormone estrogen. More recent studies show that estrogen should not be prescribed to postmenopausal women to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease .
diagnosis
Alzheimer's disease can be diagnosed when a person has a cognitive impairment such as dementia . There are many other conditions such as:
(A) neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease , brain tumors , stroke , cerebrovascular disease , blood clots and multiple sclerosis .
(B) brain infections such as chronic chronic syphilis , HIV or chronic meningitis.
(C) Cognitive impairment may be caused as a side effect of drugs used to control bladder urgency and incontinence. Psychiatric medications , such as antidepressants and anxiolytics and neurological drugs such as ant- epileptic drugs .
(D) Psychiatric Disorders
(E) Drug abuse and the abuse of legal and illegal alcohol.
(F ) metabolic disorders such as vitamin B1 or thiamine deficiency .
(G) head injury with concussion blood clots in the brain.
(H) Dementia can be caused by brain tumors.
(I ) acute intoxication by carbon monoxide can also lead to dementia .
Many other diseases can be confused with Alzheimer's disease. The diagnosis also includes:
(1) A complete physical .
(2) The neurological examination , including tests of memory and other functions of the mind.
(3) psychiatric evaluation to assess mood , anxiety and clarity of thought.
It is understood that in the context of "plates" of the disease and ' tangles ' develop in the structure of the brain , causing the brain , leading to the death of brain cells . Examination of brain cells is only possible during the autopsy.
Reduction of cardiovascular risk factors such as hyper cholestrolemia , hypertension , diabetes , smoking, lack of physical activity and high in saturated fats in the diet can reduce the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease . Intellectual stimulation like playing chess or complete crossword puzzles and regular exercise can also reduce the progression of the disease.
The role of the family is more important both to reduce health care costs and improving the quality of life of patients. Home care can delay symptoms and delay or eliminate a more professional and more expensive necessity. Home care can also have economic , emotional and psychological ever patient family costs.
