Download or read book Alzheimer S Through the Alphabet written by Leslie F. Hergert and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a vivid story of life with Alzheimersor at least, one story of one family with an unusual sense of humor. Told in an unconventional style (through the alphabet rather than chronologically), Leslie F. Hergert describes the sadness, humor, and challenges of caring for a partner with Alzheimers Disease through its many stages. Each letter of the alphabet provides reflections on some facet of the Alzheimers experience, told with honesty and a wry eye. Leslie spoke at our conference on Dementia and attendees said that her stories were the most powerful part of a very good conference. Her book extends that speech to provide an inside view of living with Alzheimers, a comfort for others living with the disease and an education for outsiders. Nancy Willbanks, Somerville Cambridge Elder Services Ms. Hergert writes candidly and poignantly about her experience caring for her husband with early onset Alzheimers Disease. She touches upon the major cognitive, psychological, and functional changes that occur over the course of the disease, and she provides practical tips to caregivers on how to manage them. She also writes movingly about the multiple emotions she felt as she accompanied her husband on the journey, reminding all of us that there are moments of joy and laughter even among those of loss and grief. I have no doubt that readers will find her words of wisdom helpful. Serena Chao, MD, MSc; Geriatrics Division Chief, Cambridge Health Alliance; Instructor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School

Download or read book ABC s of Alzheimers Disease written by Bruce Bauer and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABCs of Alzheimer's Disease: a Shared Reality by Me and My Shadow is a story of Bruce and Ethel's Alzheimer's disease (AD) journey, along with a history of AD from autopsies to PET scan research, including technology and genetic discoveries. The book is a realistic, short, comprehensive, evidence-based, description of Alzheimer's disease (AD). It describes AD research, including clinical trials, a simplified understanding of the brain, and the experiences of patient/caregiver persistence and journey as well as hope for the future research possibilities through worldwide basic science, biology, genetic, mathematics, and technology evolution and discoveries. In addition, it identifies AD issues, uncertainties, and author's comments, along with "outside the box" ideas for governance to provide leadership for the coming Alzheimer's disease tsunami. With the future facing an AD tsunami and potential shortage of care personnel, the book provides potential for education and/or training for candidate patients, caregivers, primary care doctors, nurses, physician assistants, license nurse practitioners, certified nurse assistant, institutional care personnel, in-home health personnel, hospital personnel, educators, and politicians. In addition, this book could be a supplement document for geriatric schooling as well as an enlightening and educating source for political leaders (all three branches of government) and their staffs. The book describes a stage by stage behavior symptoms tied to cognitive measures and Alzheimer Association warning signs, along with suggestions for caregiver, relative to patient's state of decline. The book addresses why clinical trials have been failing and why hope for delay and prevention may be forthcoming as well as the 2011 paradigm shift and current presymptomatic candidacy. Clinical trials adventures, along with a suggestion to eliminate the placebo cohort group are described. So, what does the future hold for Alzheimer's disease-hope, promises, delay, prevention, or cure? These are all wants. What is reality? Moving research targets are being addressed and pursued with evolving knowledge and tools. This evolution will probably make current targets obsolete in twenty years. For reality, you be the judge after reading this book. "Out the box" ideas are provided that require governance action for confronting the coming AD tsunami and associated diversity care.

Book excerpt: The harsh reality of Alzheimer's affects over one fourth of the families in the United States. When facing this incurable mental disease, how does a family survive? The diagnosis was what she had expected but not what she had hoped for. Now, Martha is faced with the prospect of the slow mental descent of Bob, her husband of over fifty years. In Letters to Martha, Sharon Outlaw tells the bittersweet true story of her father-in-law's battle with Alzheimer's. Throughout their years together--during the births of their children or times when they were apart--Bob wrote Martha beautiful love letters, full of words he was unable to articulate verbally. As Alzheimer's takes a firmer grasp on his mind, Bob becomes agitated when he begins to forget those beloved faces around him. Yet each time Martha reads him a letter--a story, as he calls them--he comes back to her, proving that love can transcend even the deepest twilight of Alzheimer's. If you are facing or have faced this tragic disease, know you are not alone. There can be moments of peace and clarity through the fog, and in the end, the reality of heaven offers hope for a future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fortify your diet to help prevent Alzheimer's. It's natural to be concerned that there's nothing you can do to reduce your risk of Alzheimer's—especially if it runs in your family. Fortunately, there is something that can help prevent it: the right diet. The Alzheimer's Prevention Food Guide is a nutritional guide to the food that protects your brain. With this guide, you can look up foods fast to find out if they're "brain healthy." Unlike other Alzheimers books, this one even includes information about popular diets like MIND and Keto so you can compare them side-by-side and make the right decisions for you. The Alzheimer's Prevention Food Guide is one of the only Alzheimers books that offers: Sample meal templates—find out what kind of foods (and how much of them) you should be eating with every meal. A 2-week meal plan—start strong with 14 days of prescribed meals and learn what good choices look like. Brain healthy food combinations—mix and match brain-healthy ingredients with profiles on over 115 different foods. Other Alzheimers books focus on treatment after the fact, but this one equips you with the knowledge you need to keep your brain in fighting form with the right food.

Download or read book The Meshk Technique for Alzheimer s Disease written by Mohammad Seyedielmabad and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the output of a fundamental study that investigates human memory from a comprehensive perspective. The author’s interest in discovering the structure and function of complex systems and providing simple and inexpensive solutions to the challenges facing humans led him to focus his research on human memory. As a result, his research has created a new insight into the structure and function of memory in humans called Meshk theory. The word Meshk in Kurdish means brain. Kurdish is the only living language in the world that has extensively preserved its ancient Sumerian roots over thousands of years. The book breaks down the complicated scientific and biological concepts associated with human memory into a more understandable way. It also describes in detail the theory of Meshk and the technique developed based on its concepts for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The structure discovered for human memory in the theory called Human Memory Strand (HMS), as a super-DNA structure with extraordinary regenerative ability, is a turning point in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer’s. In this way, based on HMS, a simple, cost-free, and practical method called Meshk technique has been developed to restore memory information. The technique can be used effectively for all people to prevent Alzheimer’s disease as well as to retrieve memory for people at any stage of the disease. The Meshk theory has been nominated for several international awards, including the Think Tank Awards 2021 and the AAIC 2022 Blas Frangione Early Career Achievement Award.
