Book Synopsis Cognitive impairment and dementia – an update by : João Massano
Download or read book Cognitive impairment and dementia – an update written by João Massano and published by Frontiers E-books. This book was released on with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cognitive impairment and dementia afflict a large number of people worldwide, being a major source of disability and loss of income. The amount of research on this subject is extensive, covering from basic to translational and clinical aspects. Therefore, it is hard to keep up with the amount of publications and novelties in this field, especially for the busy clinician. On the other hand, basic scientists often find it difficult to explore the vast clinical literature on this matter, as well as understand the clinical features of these disorders and to define the current research needs and directions. The main aim of this Frontiers Research Topic is to provide a solid and valuable platform of scientific synthesis regarding the current knowledge and literature on this theme, including clinical features, current and emergent diagnostic strategies, management (both present and future), and other important issues pertaining to cognitive impairment and dementia.

Book Synopsis Preventing Cognitive Decline and Dementia by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Preventing Cognitive Decline and Dementia written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Societies around the world are concerned about dementia and the other forms of cognitive impairment that affect many older adults. We now know that brain changes typically begin years before people show symptoms, which suggests a window of opportunity to prevent or delay the onset of these conditions. Emerging evidence that the prevalence of dementia is declining in high-income countries offers hope that public health interventions will be effective in preventing or delaying cognitive impairments. Until recently, the research and clinical communities have focused primarily on understanding and treating these conditions after they have developed. Thus, the evidence base on how to prevent or delay these conditions has been limited at best, despite the many claims of success made in popular media and advertising. Today, however, a growing body of prevention research is emerging. Preventing Cognitive Decline and Dementia: A Way Forward assesses the current state of knowledge on interventions to prevent cognitive decline and dementia, and informs future research in this area. This report provides recommendations of appropriate content for inclusion in public health messages from the National Institute on Aging.

Book Synopsis Future Directions for the Demography of Aging by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Future Directions for the Demography of Aging written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2018-07-21 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost 25 years have passed since the Demography of Aging (1994) was published by the National Research Council. Future Directions for the Demography of Aging is, in many ways, the successor to that original volume. The Division of Behavioral and Social Research at the National Institute on Aging (NIA) asked the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to produce an authoritative guide to new directions in demography of aging. The papers published in this report were originally presented and discussed at a public workshop held in Washington, D.C., August 17-18, 2017. The workshop discussion made evident that major new advances had been made in the last two decades, but also that new trends and research directions have emerged that call for innovative conceptual, design, and measurement approaches. The report reviews these recent trends and also discusses future directions for research on a range of topics that are central to current research in the demography of aging. Looking back over the past two decades of demography of aging research shows remarkable advances in our understanding of the health and well-being of the older population. Equally exciting is that this report sets the stage for the next two decades of innovative researchâ€"a period of rapid growth in the older American population.
Book Synopsis Update on Dementia by : Davide Moretti
Download or read book Update on Dementia written by Davide Moretti and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dementia challenge is the largest health effort of the times we live in. The whole society has to move to a realization of the significance of prioritization to make an attempt in the direction of mental health promotion and dementia risk reduction. New priorities for research are needed to go far beyond the usual goal of constructing a disease course-modifying medication. Moreover, a full empowerment and engagement of men and women living with dementia and their caregivers, overcoming stigma and discrimination should be promoted. The common efforts and the final aim will have to be the progress of a ''dementia-constructive'' world, where people with dementia can take advantage of equal opportunities.

Book Synopsis Screening for Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults by : U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
Download or read book Screening for Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dementia is an acquired condition that is characterized by a decline in at least two cognitive domains (e.g., loss of memory, attention, language, or visuospatial or executive functioning) that is severe enough to affect social or occupational functioning. Patients with dementia may also exhibit behavioral and psychological symptoms. The proposed Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, version 5 (DSM-V) subsumes dementia under a new syndrome, “major neurocognitive disorder.” Patients with major neurocognitive disorder experience a significant cognitive decline that is significant enough to interfere with independence in instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs), but this decline cannot be wholly due to delirium or another mental disorder, such as schizophrenia. Based on its etiology, dementia can be classified as degenerative, vascular, or other. The major dementia syndromes in older adults include: Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease with dementia, and dementia of mixed etiology. In these dementia syndromes, abnormal deposits that accumulate in the brain are believed to contribute to deterioration of brain function and dementia. The exact etiological mechanisms for many types of dementia, however, have not been clearly defined. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is distinguished from dementia in that cognitive impairment is not severe enough to interfere with independence in daily life. Researchers describe this condition using various terminology that includes differences in diagnostic criteria and underlying constructs, such as MCI, cognitive impairment no dementia, age-related cognitive decline, mild neurocognitive disorder, and mild cognitive disorder. The International Working Group on Mild Cognitive Impairment established the current, and perhaps most commonly used, criteria for MCI as: cognitive decline as evidenced by self and/or informant and/or clinician report and impairment on objective cognitive tasks, and/or evidence of decline over time on objective tasks; preserved basic activities of daily living (ADLs) (or minimal impairment in complex instrumental functions); and does not meet DSM-IV, ICD-10 criteria for a dementia syndrome. MCI is thought to be an intermediate phase between normal cognition and dementia. In 2003, the USPSTF concluded that there was insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening for dementia in older adults (I statement). This recommendation was based on an evidence review that indicated that while some screening tests had good sensitivity, they had only fair specificity in detecting cognitive impairment and dementia. While this review found evidence that several drug therapies had a beneficial effect on cognitive function, the magnitude of this benefit was small. In 2011, we developed a work plan for this evidence review to address the previous review's evidence gaps and support the USPSTF in updating its previous recommendation. This updated recommendation is focused more broadly on screening for cognitive impairment, including both dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). This evidence review was designed to assess 1) the net benefit and diagnostic accuracy of brief screening instruments to detect cognitive impairment in older adults, and 2) the net benefit of the commonly used treatment and management options for older adults with MCI or early dementia and their caregivers. Our review primarily focuses on screening adults in primary care, rather than specialty care settings (e.g., neurology or memory clinics), and the management of screen-detected people with cognitive impairment, excluding delirium. As a result, this review includes the treatment and management of people with MCI and mild to moderate dementia, as opposed to moderately-severe or severe dementia.

Book Synopsis Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in Parkinson's Disease by : Murat Emre
Download or read book Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in Parkinson's Disease written by Murat Emre and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2010-01-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parkinson's disease has long been perceived as a pure motor disorder, partly due to its initial description by James Parkinson, who suggested that "senses and intellect remain intact", and partly due to the fact that patients with PD did not survive long, before effective treatment became available. As the survival time of patients with Parkinson's disease has substantially increased due to modern treatment, it has become apparent that cognitive deficits and dementia are also frequent features, especially in elderly patients. With the progression of the disease and age, dementia develops in a substantial number of patients and constitutes a major therapeutic challenge. Dementia has thus increasingly been the focus of research and practice in recent years and a large body of knowledge has been accumulated. Despite these developments there has been no single volume dedicated to this topic. This book provides an extensive overview of the current status of knowledge pertaining to cognitive impairment and dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, intended as a reference book for general neurologists, neurology residents and also those with a special interest in movement disorders. In this edited volume experts in the field describe in detail all aspects of cognitive impairment and dementia in Parkinson's disease, including epidemiology, spectrum of clinical features, pathology, neurochemistry and genetics, findings in auxiliary investigations, relation to other neurodegenerative disorders, diagnostic process and management, and rounded up by discussion of future research directions and expectations. The text is complemented and enriched with tables, figures and heavily referenced to encompass all relevant literature.

Book Synopsis Reducing the Impact of Dementia in America by : National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine
Download or read book Reducing the Impact of Dementia in America written by National Academies of Sciences Engineering and Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the largest generation in U.S. history - the population born in the two decades immediately following World War II - enters the age of risk for cognitive impairment, growing numbers of people will experience dementia (including Alzheimer's disease and related dementias). By one estimate, nearly 14 million people in the United States will be living with dementia by 2060. Like other hardships, the experience of living with dementia can bring unexpected moments of intimacy, growth, and compassion, but these diseases also affect people's capacity to work and carry out other activities and alter their relationships with loved ones, friends, and coworkers. Those who live with and care for individuals experiencing these diseases face challenges that include physical and emotional stress, difficult changes and losses in their relationships with life partners, loss of income, and interrupted connections to other activities and friends. From a societal perspective, these diseases place substantial demands on communities and on the institutions and government entities that support people living with dementia and their families, including the health care system, the providers of direct care, and others. Nevertheless, research in the social and behavioral sciences points to possibilities for preventing or slowing the development of dementia and for substantially reducing its social and economic impacts. At the request of the National Institute on Aging of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Reducing the Impact of Dementia in America assesses the contributions of research in the social and behavioral sciences and identifies a research agenda for the coming decade. This report offers a blueprint for the next decade of behavioral and social science research to reduce the negative impact of dementia for America's diverse population. Reducing the Impact of Dementia in America calls for research that addresses the causes and solutions for disparities in both developing dementia and receiving adequate treatment and support. It calls for research that sets goals meaningful not just for scientists but for people living with dementia and those who support them as well. By 2030, an estimated 8.5 million Americans will have Alzheimer's disease and many more will have other forms of dementia. Through identifying priorities social and behavioral science research and recommending ways in which they can be pursued in a coordinated fashion, Reducing the Impact of Dementia in America will help produce research that improves the lives of all those affected by dementia.
