Dementia is a syndrome seen most commonly in older people and characterized by a decline in cognitive performance which impacts on the person's ability to function. There are approximately 47 million people worldwide with dementia and there are 10 million new cases every year. It is a major cause of disability and dependence and impacts on the physical,

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 ...

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 ...

Nursing Older People, 1997
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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
