Facts For Health--alzheimer's--other Causes Of Dementia
Other causes include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and dementias associated with Parkinson s disease and Huntington s disease
http://www.alzheimers.factsforhealth.org/have/causes.asp

Extractions: Dementia is a disorder of the brain with deterioration of intellectual or thinking abilities severe enough to interfere with social and/or occupational functioning. Alzheimer's disease (AD) accounts for more than half of all cases of dementia. Other causes include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and dementias associated with Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. After AD, vascular dementia is the second most common cause of dementia. Vascular dementia is caused by decreased or interrupted blood flow to parts of the brain. Risk factors that can be controlled are the same as those for heart and blood vessel disease in other parts of the body. These include high blood pressure, smoking, high blood fats or lipids including cholesterol, elevated homocysteine (an amino acid), little exercise, and being overweight. The onset of symptoms in vascular dementia is usually sudden, differing from the gradual onset of symptoms in AD. Reduced ability to think, remember and process information is usually sudden and often follows an event where blood flow is diminished or blocked. The most common cause of poor blood flow is a stroke where muscles or other functions such as speech or vision controlled by a part of the brain are affected. Sometimes parallel (or collateral) circulation restores blood flow before brain tissue dies, thereby restoring brain functions. Often the progression of vascular dementia occurs in steps as the brain experiences further blockage of blood flow over time. This pattern is described as multi-infarct dementia, and that term is sometimes substituted for the more modern term of vascular dementia.

http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/vascular dementia

Extractions: Search Dictionary: Biology Dictionary Definition: This form of dementia is caused by a number of strokes in the brain. These strokes can cause specific symptoms, depending on their severity and location, and can cause general symptoms of dementia. MID cannot be treated; once the nerve cells die, they cannot be replaced. However, the underlying condition leading to strokes (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes ) can be treated, which may help prevent further damage.

http://199.239.30.192/NationalStroke/RecoveryAndRehabilitation/Vascular Dementia

Extractions: Every year, more than 750,000 Americans experience a stroke, or brain attack. A stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel or artery, or when a blood vessel breaks, interrupting blood flow to an area of the brain and cutting off vital supplies of oxygen. This lack of blood can cause damage to areas of the brain that control important functions such as thinking, speaking and breathing. A common complication resulting from stroke is loss of cognitive function, or intellectual abilities, often called vascular dementia. What is Vascular Dementia? Vascular dementia (VaD) is a decline in intellectual abilities as a result of a stroke. It occurs when brain tissue is damaged because of reduced blood flow to the brain, most commonly by a stroke or series of strokes. The brain cells, in effect, have difficulty working together to process information. This can lead to memory loss, confusion, and decreased attention span, in addition to problems with activities of daily living. It is estimated that nearly a fifth of people who suffer a stroke will develop problems involving their mental abilities.

The selected priority projects are Training, Good Practice, Alzheimer Associations, Socio-Economic Impact, Ethical Issues, Support Programmes, Nursing Qualifications, Substance Counselling, Clinical Specifics. The objective of EACH is to collect,analyse, compile, disseminate and promote the application of the knowledge about different aspects of ADRD and its consequences, the optimal ways of management for patients, their families, caregivers, administrators, decision makers and the general public, the knowledge-based care to achieve the highest possible level of living and quality of life for patients and their families. The overall aim is to contribute substantially in the field of information, education and policy development in favour of persons suffering of ADRD in order to improve public awareness, services, quality of life for patients and their families, empowerment of self help, policy development and the common core of cultural specifics between European countries (

Extractions: "Currently, there are no effective treatments for Alzheimer's disease, but we do have options for treating vascular disease," said study lead author Norbert Schuff, Ph.D., an associate professor of radiology at UCSF. "Being able to determine that there is a vascular component to a patient's dementia would make a big difference in planning for treatment." Schuff and colleagues examined 13 patients with subcortical ischemic vascular dementia alongside 43 patients with Alzheimer's disease using MRS and MRI. Both sets of patients were of comparable ages and dementia severity. The researchers compared all of the patients with 52 cognitively normal subjects. Compared with control subjects, patients suffering from subcortical ischemic vascular dementia had levels of N-acetylaspartate (NAA) that were lower by 18% in the frontal cortex and by 27% in the parietal cortex. MRS also documented that NAA levels were not significantly reduced in white matter and medial temporal lobe areas. More important, patients with vascular dementia, when compared with Alzheimer's disease patients, exhibited NAA levels that were lower by 13% in the frontal cortex and by 20% in the left parietal cortex. By adding parietal NAA values to MRI-derived hippocampal atrophy, the researchers were able to improve the separation between subcortical ischemic vascular dementia patients and Alzheimer's disease patients from 79% to 89%.
Dementia And Vascular Disease
2 The prevalence of all forms of dementia, including vascular dementia, increases with age. The clinical profile of vascular dementia will be described.
http://www.dcmsonline.org/jax-medicine/2000journals/February2000/vascdement.htm

Extractions: Zoe Arvanitakis, M.D. is with the Department of Neurology at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville. This paper is supported in part by the NIA grant AG16574 and the State of Florida Alzheimer's Disease Initiative Program. In the Western world, vascular disease is thought to be the second most common cause of dementia, following Alzheimer's disease. Vascular disease is at least partially preventable and treatable, so increasing awareness of this association may decrease the incidence of dementia. This paper will discuss the controversies about vascular disease and dementia, while stating the known facts on which doctors can base clinical decisions. Vascular disease may lead to subtle cognitive changes, which in turn could be a warning sign of impending dementia. This provides the clinician the opportunity to identify individuals at risk and to institute preventive measures. In the United States, about 500, 000 people suffer from a stroke each year and stroke is the third leading cause of death. It has long been known that cognitive deficits may result from a stroke, yet only recently have studies shown that dementia occurs in approximately one-fourth to one-third of stroke cases. The prevalence of all forms of dementia, including vascular dementia, increases with age. In Europe, the prevalence of vascular dementia is estimated to be 1.5-4.8% for individuals between the ages of 70 and 80 years old.
