Depression, Dementia, and Reversible Dementia
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1992This article reviews the syndromic concepts of depression and dementia and the concurrence of these common entities. In DAT, depression appears to be a reversible source of excess disability, amenable to pharmacologic as well as environmental interventions.

Neuroimaging has become increasingly important in the clinical assessment and diagnosis of dementia. Structural imaging with MRI and functional imaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography and single photon emission CT, increasingly are used to aid in the differential diagnosis and early detection of dementia.

Dementia affects about 5% of the elderly population over age 65 years and has an unexplained predominance in women and a low rate in some cultures. Different forms of dementia are now distinguished-Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia secondary to disease, such as AIDS dementia. However, such nosological

Dementia and dementia research
Gerontechnology, 2014Worldwide almost 36 million people have dementia. Dementia is an umbrella term describing a multifactorial disease which affects the brain. Dementia always has an effect on the patient, as well as on the spouse or on other family members. A search in the gerontechnology database showed that when using dementia as a keyword in combination with keywords ...

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, but often several other conditions causing dementia are present on brain autopsies. Palliative care medical issues are similar in all late stage progressive degenerative dementias and include; cardiopulmonary resuscitation, transfer to acute care setting, antibiotic therapy, and tube feeding ...

CONTINUUM: Lifelong Learning in Neurology, 2010
As treatment of neurodegenerative disease moves toward therapies aimed at specific molecular abnormalities, the importance of early and accurate diagnosis will increase, as will the need for sensitive measures for tracking disease progression. Brain imaging, using MRI and PET scanning, offers a variety of highly reliable techniques that examine the ...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used extensively to characterize motor system pathophysiology in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other forms of dementia, as well to monitor the effects of certain pharmacological agents. Among the studies focusing on motor cortical excitability measures, the most consistent finding is a significant ...

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, 1983
The dementias have been examined from the viewpoint of representing a primary memory system deficit leading to an array of cortical function impairments, behavioral alterations, and mood disturbances. Although several classification systems to categorize the dementias exist, a useful system to guide the planning of nursing care is to categorize the ...

Senile dementia of the Alzheimer type is becoming one of the most common of the malignant diseases as our society ages. Currently, research has identified several pathophysiological changes, including the bihelical filament and the loss of the enzyme choline acetyltransferase from the cortex. Although genetic factors play some role in this disease, the

This chapter will focus on the descriptive, analytic, and intervention-oriented epidemiology of dementia and its most frequent etiologic type due to Alzheimer's disease. The chapter opens with a brief presentation of the concept of dementia, followed by the presentation of dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT), including natural history, clinical ...
