83. Dementia: A Guide For The Caregiver
    A guide and resource for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients by someone who's been through it.  
    http://www.angelfire.com/ny2/dementia1/index.html
    
    Extractions: Hi, my name is Sandy. I created this site to hopefully be of help to someone else who is suffering the same heartbreak that I did when my Mom (pictured above) was diagnosed with dementia. I will share my story in detail and include as much information about where to get help that I can find. I hope you find the info you seek as well as a little comfort here. Here's what's inside: Tributes To Victims Tributes To Caregivers Memorials: Loved Ones Lost In brief ... Mom was diagnosed in 1992, at first just being forgetful of little things, then bigger things such as leaving the stove on, etc. Slowly she also became aggressive, dilusional and eventually helpless. It was the hardest time in my life. My Mom passed away in May of 1997, after developing pneumonia from inactivity ... she had even forgotten how to walk ! While I would not force religion on anyone, I can only attest to the fact that faith in God and a belief in a better life after this one, is what helped me. I rest assured that my Mom is at peace now and free of her tormented thoughts. I hope you will seek faith also, in whatever higher power you believe in. They say God never gives us more than we can handle, and I guess it must be true, because I never would have thought I could cope with those 5 years. I hope you like this site and send it to anyone you know who has a friend or loved one with this most heartbreaking disease. Thanks !

    http://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/html/content/dementia.cfm
    
    Extractions: Dementia is a decline in mental ability which affects memory, thinking, problem-solving, concentration and perception. Some forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease, are degenerative i.e. they get worse over time. Other forms of dementia, such as vascular dementia, may be non-degenerative i.e. they may not get worse over time. People with dementia can become confused, leading to restless or repetitive behaviour, which can be very distressing for everyone concerned. They may also seem irritable, tearful or agitated. They may also develop other problems such as depression, disturbed sleep, aggression, inappropriate sexual behaviour and incontinence. Dementia is almost invariably a disease of ageing. About 1 in 20 people over the age of 65 are affected, and 1 in 5 people over the age of 80. Dementia in people under 65 is known as early onset or pre-senile dementia and is rare, affecting under 1 in 1000. Back to the top What causes dementia?

87. The Lost Alzheimer's And Related Disorders Search Subject
    Long article based on a search and rescue conference talk discusses the issue of people with dementia wandering away from their caregivers.  
    http://www.dbs-sar.com/SAR_Research/lost_alzheimer.htm
    
    Extractions: Black Links under construction Keywords: Introduction: Wandering among the elderly, especially those suffering from possible Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) , has only recently begun receiving much attention. Possible Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders includes Alzheimer’s Disease and the less well known dementia causing disorders of Multi-Infarct Dementia, Parkinson's Dementia, Symptomatic Hydrocephalic, Korsakoff’s Syndrome, Pick’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease, and Spongiform Encephalopathy. However, almost all studies have focused how these disorders cause wandering within the walls of an institution. Many other papers mention wandering, but only as a behavioral disturbance, management challenge in an institutional setting, or as a correlation with further loss of cognitive ability. Several other articles provide institutional care providers strategies for managing the wanderer. The emerging importance of wandering and dementia is evidenced by the first time symposia addressing the problem at the American Gerontological Society.

After we got home from school, Brett took us to the mall. Some guy called me over and asked me for my number when we were there, so I told him he should give me his instead. Brett was being really mean and awkward when we were there, n it was unfun. But I guess he didn't know he was being mean and awkward...? Whatever, anyway, he and Aisha kept flirting and it made me very unsteady... ehhhh. I bought a pink miniskirt!!! AH! Hehe. Its like, the top part is stretchy and the bottom is satin with lace over it. I also bought a faux Gucci pink bag and a pink top yupyup! :):) My skirt was buy-one-get-one-free, so I picked up a pink n white striped sweater for Melina. I got aisha to buy the MOST adorable peasant skirt, a pink top, white shirt and cami, white hat with black threading, and I picked out this pink purse for her to give to her friend for her party today. When we left the mall, me and Brett started talking in the parking lot while we walked the LONG way to the car, so things started to loosen up. Then we got off on the North freeway instead of South, so we got off on the next exit and took like an hour to find our way back to the freeway!! Haha, it was like old times when Brett and I got lost downtown with my Japanese exchange student in the back, and I was laughing and Brett was all mad n frusterated.

T he prevalence of dementia is expected to increase dramatically in future years as life expectancy continues to increase and the baby-boomer population ages. The cumulative incidence of Alzheimer's disease has been estimated to be as high as 4.7 percent by age 70, 18.2 percent by age 80 and 49.6 percent by age 90. Proposed risk factors for dementia include a family history of dementia, previous head injury, lower educational level and female sex. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia; many of the remaining cases of dementia are caused by vascular disease and Lewy body disease. Vascular disease and Lewy body disease often occur in combination with Alzheimer's disease. See editorial

98. Dementia13
    Brief review (neutral), and rating.  
    http://www.geocities.com/pizowell/dementia13.html
    
    Extractions: Dementia 13 After the death of John Halloran his wife Louise fears she won't get any of his inheritance after his mother dies. She forges a letter in his name and travels to the family castle in Ireland. While there we meet the excentric family and learn about the death of John's sister as a child. Soon there after we're introduced to a axe murder in whats best known as Francis Ford Coppola's directoral debut. Dementia 13 is an old fashioned slow paced black and white horror flick produced by Roger Corman. Coppola doens't show any of the style that we've come to expect from him, but he is able to create a some what creepy and bleak back drop for the film. Dementia 13 is a slasher/murder mystery type flick. But really its more like a character study in the vein of Psycho. The slashings take place about an hour into the flick and there is only two that I counted. The murder mystery really isn't a mystery at all. What we have is a fairly decent flick with a cool moment here and there. Dementia 13 moves slow and doesn't give the viewer much to keep them interested. If you're a murder mystery fan or interested in seeing an early Coppola film I'd say check it out. But you gorehound slasher freaks will most likely find Dementia 13 too slow and plot heavy for your bloody taste, even though there is a decapitation. I found the film to be some what enjoyable as a time waster. MY RATING: home message board guest book

    http://www.aafp.org/afp/981200ap/olsen.html
    
    Extractions: Articles Departments Patient Information S enile dementia of the Binswanger's type, or Binswanger's disease, was once believed to be a rare form of dementia. As neuroimaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have become more commonly available, the idea that senile dementia of the Binswanger's type is a more common form of dementia and neurologic disease has become more widespread. Numerous names have been given to this condition (Table 1). In 1894, Binswanger first described a form of dementia called encephalitis subcorticalis chronica progressiva, separate from neurosyphilis and other forms of dementia in the elderly. He characterized the disease as being associated with lesions of the subcortical white matter with "severe atheromatosis of the arteries," enlarged ventricles and normal cortex. The term "Binswanger's disease" was first used in 1902 by Alzheimer to identify this form of senile dementia. The term "subcortical arteriosclerotic encephalopathy" was first used in 1962, and the term "multi-infarct dementia" began to be used in 1974. Multi-infarct dementia is a broader term for vascular dementia and includes both Binswanger's dementia and the dementia resulting from repeated thrombotic and embolic cerebral infarcts. The term "senile dementia of the Binswanger's type" was recommended in 1987.
