Download or read book Parkinson s Disease Dementia Timeline written by Louise Holland and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experiences described in this book attempt to fill a gap in the information available to the Parkinson's disease / dementia patient's caregiver. It is an account of a single patient and the progress, both physical and cognitive, which might serve as a guide to those about to embark on this journey. It follows the changes in one patient, from the first sign of illogic through the increasing frequency of evidence of cognitive inability. Normal routine was maintained throughout the decline, but physical and mental changes made it necessary to adapt new strategies. This synopsis points out these changes, both minor and significant, and shows how the caregiver coped. The combination of illogic with the increasing inability to move or speak presents a challenge to the Parkinson's disease / dementia patient's caregiver. The "progress of the disease" frequently cited by physicians was opaque. This account tries to shed light on how that progress is manifested.

Download or read book Dementia in Parkinsonism written by Susan E. Daniel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his original essay on the shaking palsy (1817) James Parkinson remarked that the "senses and intellect were uninjured". Thus, it was only in later years that the complexity ofparkinsonism and in particular Parkinson's disease with dementia was recognised. Cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease is common and is estimated to affect more than forty per cent of patients with disease onset after age 65. Recent studies suggest that pathology of Parkin son's disease now ranks second to Alzheimer's disease as the commonest sub strate of dementia in elderly patients. The condition is heterogeneous and there remain many complicated and unresolved questions concerning cause, diagnosis and classification. In an attempt to clarify these issues, scientists and members of the European Brain Bank Network (EBBN) gathered in London for a meeting entitled "Dementia in Parkinsonism". The resultant monograph is testimony to the wide-ranging clinical, morphological and biochemical aspects of this condition. We are grateful to all contributors for expressing their expert opinions and for being so generous with their time taken in prepa ration of the manuscripts. The meeting was funded by the Commission of the European Communities as part of a Biomed-l Programme. We wish to thank Amgen Limited, Lilly Industries Limited and Roche Products Limited for additional sponsorship. The expert secretarial assistance of R. Nani in the pre paration of this book has been very much appreciated. London, November 1997 S. E. Daniel F. F. Cruz-Sanchez A. J.

Brain diseases are now the world's leading source of disability. The fastest growing of these is Parkinson's: the number of impacted patients has doubled to more than six million over the last twenty-five years and is projected to double again by 2040. Harmful pesticides that increase the risk of Parkinson's continue to proliferate, many people remain undiagnosed and untreated, research funding stagnates, and the most effective treatment is now a half century old. In Ending Parkinson's Disease, four top experts provide a plan to help prevent Parkinson's, improve care and treatment, and end the silence associated with this devastating disease.

Download or read book Compassion and Commitment written by Kathy Erickson and published by Xlibris Us. This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My husband was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson's disease when he was 50 years old. Two years later, his diagnosis was changed to Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinsonism. I decided to keep track of our journey and the twists and turns people deal with when diagnosed with a debilitating disease. I tried to cover all the basics on a timeline from being diagnosed, different medications we tried, a constant decline in the activities of daily living, being hospitalized, entering a nursing home, or coming home and having in-home health care. When you have a loved one, with a devastating illness, whether it is a spouse or a parent, you want the very best care for them if you can't care for them yourself. This book covers our experiences with issues involving health insurance, nursing homes, trying to work full-time, and the reliability of several in-home health care agencies and the unfortunate nightmares you deal with on a regular basis. It also touches on how to deal with the stress you experience when your life doesn't turn out as you thought. I ended up losing my job because of all the times I missed trying to work, trying to care for my aging parents, (my mom Alzheimer's), my spouse and family, and all the duties that go along with owning a home. The brain is such a complex organ, and when it starts to die, it affects every person differently. I hope this book will help others dealing with loved ones suffering from dementia by giving them awareness, insight, and an idea of what to expect as the disease progresses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vascular dementia is one of the most common forms of mental deterioration for the elderly, second only to Alzheimer's disease. It should not be defined as a single disease, but rather as a group of syndromes that relate to different vascular mechanisms. This is one of the first books to be solely dedicated to the specific class of vascular dementia known as subcortical vascular dementia. The strict focus of the chapters give an depth review that will clarify many different aspects and give an unprecedented amount of detail about this clinical problem. Considering that vascular dementia can be prevented with early diagnosis, the research presented in this book will be important for both students and specialists of this important field.
