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 ...

Dementia in general and Alzheimer's disease in particular represent conditions where new findings are being made rapidly. Some of these developments will lead to progress of increasing clinical value to patients and their carers. This review will begin with some general points about dementia before considering current developments in Alzheimer's ...

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 ...

Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an uncommon but important form of degenerative disease. It may make up 50% of dementia cases presenting before age 60. The symptoms are related to the anatomic areas affected. Neary divided the clinical syndromes into "frontotemporal dementia," "progressive nonfluent aphasia," and "semantic dementia." However, the ...

The dementia of dementia praecox
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 1978A group of 18 long‐stay patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia were compared with a group of 10 age‐matched subjects who had been institutionalized by reason of physical disease, on performance on tests of intellectual function; and with a group of agematched healthy subjects, both on tests of intellectual function, and radiographically, using the ...

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.

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

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
