Extractions: What is Dementia? Dementia is a progressive, degenerative disease that attacks the brain and results in problems with memory, thinking and behavior and becomes severe enough to interfere with a persons ability to work and to take care of everyday tasks such as bathing, cooking, dressing and grooming. Dementia is not a normal part of aging. What are the Symptoms of Dementia? The symptoms of dementia include trouble learning new things; trouble remembering things that were known in the past; trouble with abstract thinking; poor judgment; trouble speaking well; trouble carrying out motor tasks; trouble recognizing or naming objects; personality change; trouble being able to work or carry on a normal social life. Sometimes people with dementia also develop anxiety, depression, suspiciousness, assaultiveness, agitation, wandering, confusion, or verbal abuse. What Causes Dementia?

Extractions: Less than one tenth of all population-based research into dementia has been directed towards the two-thirds or more of all people with dementia who live in developing parts of the world. Hence "10/66". 10/66 is a group of researchers who have linked together to try to redress this imbalance, encouraging active collaboration between research groups in different developing countries and between developed and developing countries. The 10/66 Group is part of Alzheimer's Disease International and is co-ordinated through Prof. Martin Prince from the Institute of Psychiatry, King's College, London. The first meeting of 10/66 was at the annual conference of Alzheimer's Disease International held in 1998 at Cochin in Kerala, India. This was the first international dementia meeting ever to have been held in a developing country. India and other developing regions were particularly well represented. Since then, the 10/66 Group has held symposia at every annual ADI conference - Johannesburg 1999, Washington 2000 and Christchurch 2001. Home About Alzheimer's Finding help Global impact ...

Extractions: Bypass navigation bar Obtaining an accurate diagnosis of a dementing disorder is often the most important first step made by patients and families in their efforts to secure the education and support needed to cope with Alzheimer's disease. Diagnostic clinics provide evaluation and management services to patients and their families. A typical patient will undergo neuropsychological testing, a comprehensive history and physical examination and, if appropriate, laboratory and x-ray testing during the initial evaluation. The clickable map below highlights the dementia diagnostic clinics in Wisconsin. Those affiliated with the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Institute are symbolized by the WAI logo and all others are symbolized by a red triangle.

Screening For Dementia: Recommendations And Rationale Screening for dementia. 5. Alzheimer s disease and cerebrovascular ischemia (vascular dementia) are the two most common causes of dementia. http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/3rduspstf/dementia/dementrr.htm
Extractions: This statement summarizes the current U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation on screening for dementia, and updates the 1996 recommendation contained in the Guide to Clinical Preventive Services , Second Edition The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) concludes that the evidence is insufficient to recommend for or against routine screening for dementia in older adults. Rating: I Recommendation Rationale: The USPSTF found good evidence that some screening tests have good sensitivity but only fair specificity in detecting cognitive impairment and dementia. There is fair to good evidence that several drug therapies have a beneficial effect on cognitive function (equivalent to delaying the natural progression of Alzheimer's disease from 2 to 7 months), but the evidence of their beneficial effects on instrumental activities of daily living is mixed, with the benefit being small, at best. There is insufficient evidence to determine whether the benefits observed in drug trials are generalizable to patients whose disease would be detected by screening in primary care settings. The accuracy of diagnosis, the feasibility of screening and treatment in routine clinical practice, and the potential harms of screening (e.g., labeling effects) are also unknown. The Task Force therefore could not determine whether the benefits of screening for dementia outweigh the harms.
