Developmental Disabilities and Alzheimer s disease What You Should Know. 1995.Developmental Disabilities and Alzheimer s disease What You Should Know.
http://www.thearc.org/misc/alzbk.html

Extractions: Alzheimer's Disease... This information may be copied or otherwise reproduced with proper citation. Developed by the Workgroup on Alzheimer's Disease and Developmental Disabilities and the New York Caregiver Assistance Project in Aging and Developmental Disabilities (New York State Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities) and published by The Arc of the United States. Support provided by grants #90-AM-0679 from the U.S. Administration on Aging and #R13 AG/HD12353-01 from the U.S. National Institute on Aging (Matthew P. Janicki, Ph.D., Project Director). Developmental Disabilities and Alzheimer's Disease... What You Should Know Are you caring for an older person with a developmental disability? Has this person shown memory loss, confusion, loss of abilities at work, unexplained changes in personality and behavior, or unexpected decline in personal skills (such as walking, bathing, toileting, dressing, or eating)? It MAY be that some of these changes are associated with the onset of Alzheimer's disease. They may also be caused by some other age-associated condition that is treatable. This booklet can help you, the caregiver or the agency person, who is concerned about Alzheimer's disease and developmental disabilities. It describes Alzheimer's disease, how to find out if someone has it, and how it affects adults with developmental disabilities. It also provides information on what to do and suggests where to seek help.

Extractions: People with Mental Retardation What is Alzheimer's disease? Alzheimer's disease is age-associated, that is, it affects primarily older adults and its prevalence increases with advancing age. It is a slow and progressive, degenerative disorder of the brain that eventually results in diminished brain function and death. Clinically, Alzheimer's disease is expressed as an impairment in the cognitive and adaptive skills necessary for successful personal, community and occupational functioning. Dementia is the behavioral expression of brain changes and includes memory loss, personality changes, and diminished self-care abilities. The initial symptoms often appear gradually. There may be some minimum memory loss, particularly of recent events. The individual may experience difficulty in finding the right words to use during casual conversations. Work performance may begin to deteriorate, and changes in behavior may become obvious. Finally, the disease will progress to the point where all abilities to function normally are lost, and affected individuals need total care. The stages described may occur over different time periods in different individuals, ranging from 18 months to 20 years.

Extractions: Hope for Early Diagnosis In its earliest stages, Alzheimer's disease is notoriously difficult to diagnose, as many older adults experience minor memory problems. However, the few available treatments for Alzheimer's offer the best results in the early stages of the disease. Luckily, new diagnostic methods are on the horizon, offering hope for earlier and more accurate diagnosis of the irreversible condition.

Alzheimer's Disease Cause Identified?: Amyloid Beta Protein May Trigger Mental D
Alzheimer s disease cause identified? BACE1 deficiency rescues memory deficitsand cholinergic dysfunction in a mouse model of Alzheimer s disease.
http://www.nature.com/nsu/040105/040105-6.html

Extractions: 8 January 2004 HELEN R. PILCHER Drugs could stop plaques from building in the brain. . Drugs that reduce this protein in humans may have the same protective effect. An estimated 15 million people worldwide suffer from Alzheimer's disease, a progressive, neurodegenerative disease that clouds memory and causes impaired behaviour. As good as it gets "The mouse model of dementia is about as good as it gets," says Simon Lovestone of the Institute of Psychiatry in London, "but it's not perfect." The rodents develop some, but not all, of the Alzheimer's hallmarks. Memory loss is less severe than in humans. Removing the BACE1 enzyme has no noticeable side effects in mice. So drugs that block the enzyme may be safe to use in humans too, says Lovestone. Such drugs already exist, so the next step is to test them in patients. Treatments like this could stave off or even reverse dementia. Amyloid beta may trigger tau build-up, which may in turn cause the disease, says Disterhoft. The next step is to test whether drugs that block BACE1 also prevent tau accumulation.

Extractions: How do family members cope when caring for someone with Alzheimer's? See also... Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in older people. Dementia is a brain disorder that makes it hard for a person to carry out normal daily activities. Symptoms of dementia include changes in memory, personality, and behavior. There are other conditions besides AD that can cause dementia. For example, small strokes or changes in the brain's blood supply can cause multi-infarct or vascular dementia. Some causes of dementia are reversible, such as drug reactions, dehydration , and thyroid problems. AD affects the parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. It is a slow disease that starts with mild memory problems and leads to severe brain damage. People with AD lose their abilities at different rates. AD can last from 3 to 20 years or more after the onset of symptoms. It is not yet clear what causes AD and there is no known cure. An estimated 4 million people in the U.S. suffer from AD. The disease usually begins after age 60, and the risk of AD goes up with age. However, some cases of AD occur in younger people. About one in ten persons over 65 have AD, and nearly half of those age 85 and older may have the disease. But AD is not a normal part of aging.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer s disease. March 2002. WHAT IS ALZHEIMER S disease? Alzheimer s diseaseis a degenerative disease of the brain from which there is no recovery.
http://www.reutershealth.com/wellconnected/doc02.html

Extractions: Alzheimer's Disease March 2002 WHAT IS ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE? Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative disease of the brain from which there is no recovery. Slowly and inexorably, the disease attacks nerve cells in all parts of the cortex of the brain, as well as some surrounding structures, thereby impairing a person's abilities to govern emotions, recognize errors and patterns, coordinate movement, and remember. At the last, an afflicted person loses all memory and mental functioning. WHO GETS ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE? Alzheimer's disease (AD) is now the fourth leading cause of death in adults. Almost four million Americans and eight million more worldwide have it. Unless effective methods for prevention and treatment are developed, Alzheimer's disease will reach epidemic proportions, afflicting an estimated 14 million Americans within 50 years. Age Age is the biggest risk factor for AD. The number of cases of Alzheimer's disease doubles every five years in people over 65. By age 85, almost half of all people are afflicted. Family History People with a family history of the disease are at higher than average risk for AD. [

Extractions: There are an estimated four million Americans with Alzheimer's disease. That number is expected to grow dramatically in the coming decades, with an equal increase in the number of individuals who will become their caregivers. While researchers continue to search for ways to reverse and cure Alzheimer's disease, we must provide caregivers with the same love, compassion and support that they give to their Alzheimer's patients. Q. What effect can Alzheimer's disease have on a caregiver? A. Alzheimer's disease affects more than just the person who has been diagnosed. In most cases, it also impacts the family members and friends who become caregivers. Caring for an Alzheimer's patient can cause emotional, psychological, and physical problems. As the disease progresses, caregivers often find themselves cut off from friends and regular social activities. Further, even the most dedicated caregivers will struggle with guilt over feelings of resentment or frustration that arise as they cope with a loved one's difficult behavioral changes. Alzheimer's disease frequently poses financial problems for caregivers as well. Studies on the economic impact of the disease have found that the average caregiver with a full-time job will miss more than three weeks of work a year, and that one fifth will quit their jobs altogether to provide full time care.

Extractions: Order Copies Online, Quantity: 50(limit) Forgetfulness: It's Not Always What You Think Many older people worry about becoming more forgetful. They think forgetfulness is the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. In the past, memory loss and confusion were considered a normal part of aging. However, scientists now know that most people remain both alert and able as they age, although it may take them longer to remember things. A lot of people experience memory lapses. Some memory problems are serious, and others are not. People who have serious changes in their memory, personality, and behavior may suffer from a form of brain disease called dementia. Dementia seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities. Alzheimer's disease is one of many types of dementia. The term dementia describes a group of symptoms that are caused by changes in brain function. Dementia symptoms may include asking the same questions repeatedly; becoming lost in familiar places; being unable to follow directions; getting disoriented about time, people, and places; and neglecting personal safety, hygiene, and nutrition. People with dementia lose their abilities at different rates. Dementia is caused by many conditions. Some conditions that cause dementia can be reversed, and others cannot. Further, many different medical conditions may cause symptoms that seem like Alzheimer's disease, but are not. Some of these medical conditions may be treatable. Reversible conditions can be caused by a high fever, dehydration, vitamin deficiency and poor nutrition, bad reactions to medicines, problems with the thyroid gland, or a minor head injury. Medical conditions like these can be serious and should be treated by a doctor as soon as possible.
