Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and also the best understood. It is thought to be caused by the formation of abnormal deposits of protein in the brain. These are called plaques and tangles, and they are made up of two key proteins: amyloid and tau. Amyloid and tau are present in healthy brains, but in Alzheimer’s disease they function abnormally. Amyloid forms plaques outside cells and tau forms tangles inside them. These plaques and tangles damage the nerve cells, causing them to die. When lots of cells die, this causes the brain to shrink.

A lot of us have been home during the COVID-19 pandemic. Maybe you're interacting with your older relatives more than usual and you may be noticing some memory problems. If you're worried about somebody having an issue with their memory and want to have them checked, what are the top 10 warning signs that you should look for? In this week's episode, you’ll learn about: Alzheimer’s and/or other dementia/typical age-related changes. Part One of ‘Ten Signs of Alzheimer's Disease’ The first question is, what is dementia? It's a broad umbrella term, meaning that many different symptoms go into this term. People are going to have difficulty with their memory. They're going to have trouble with language, but also problem-solving and executive planning. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that accounts for about 60 to 80 percent of the different dimensions that we see. The other dementias that are most common are Lewy Body Dementia and Vascular Dementia. Those types of dementias tend to appear a little bit differently. You may have one type or a mix of things, particularly if you have high blood pressure or you've had many strokes in the past, and you may have Alzheimer's, you may have a combination of Alzheimer's type dementia and vascular dementia. For the most part, these symptoms are pretty similar. “They may tell you the same story or they may have difficulty finding the right word.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (09:10-09:15) Memory loss that disrupts daily life. Warning Sign: Forgetting important dates, repetitive, need more memory aids than before. Normal aging: Sometimes forgetting names or appointments but remembering them later. Challenges in planning or solving problems. Warning Sign: Trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of paying monthly bills. Normal aging: Making occasional errors balancing a checkbook. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or play. Warning Sign: Trouble organizing a shopping list or trouble driving to a familiar place. Normal aging: Occasionally needing help to use the settings on a microwave or to record a television show Part Two of ‘Ten Signs of Alzheimer's Disease’ Confusion with time or place Warning Sign: Forget where you are or how you got there. Normal aging: Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships Warning Sign: Trouble judging distance Normal Aging: Vision changes related to cataracts, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration New problems with words in speaking or writing Warning Sign: Trouble following conversation or forgets where they are in a story Normal aging: Sometimes having trouble finding the right word “These are only warning signs. They are not diagnostic.” — Melissa Batchelor, PhD, RN, FNP, FAAN (16:04-16:05) Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps Warning Sign: Put things in usual places, accuse others of stealing Normal aging: Misplacing things from time to time and retracing steps to find them Decreased or poor judgment Warning Sign: Less attention to grooming; giving away large amounts of money Normal aging: Making bad decisions once in a while Withdrawal from work or social activities Warning Signs: Starts to remove themselves from activities, social activities, or hobbies Normal aging: Sometimes feeling weary of work, friends, and social obligations Changes in mood or personality Warning Sign: Confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious. Upset when out of their comfort zone Normal aging: Developing very specific ways of doing things, and become irritable when the routine is disrupted For more information on Alzheimer’s or related dementias, visit 🤍 About Melissa I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (‘96) and Master of Science in Nursing (‘00) as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) from the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) School of Nursing (SON). I truly enjoy working with the complex medical needs of older adults. I worked full-time for five years as FNP in geriatric primary care across many long-term care settings (skilled nursing homes, assisted living, home, and office visits) then transitioned into academic nursing in 2005, joining the faculty at UNCW SON as a lecturer. I obtained my Ph.D. in Nursing and a post-Master’s Certificate in Nursing Education from the Medical University of South Carolina College of Nursing (’11) and then joined the faculty at Duke University School of Nursing as an Assistant Professor. My family moved to northern Virginia in 2015 and led to me joining the faculty at George Washington University (GW) School of Nursing in 2018 as a (tenured) Associate Professor where I am also the Director of the GW Center for Aging, Health, and Humanities.

Asking the same question, over and over again. It’s not called getting old, it’s called getting ill. If you or a loved one are experiencing memory loss, it could be a sign of dementia. Recent research shows that the misconception that symptoms like memory loss are a sign of normal ageing is the biggest barrier to people seeking a dementia diagnosis. With diagnosis rates at a five-year low, tens of thousands of people are now living with undiagnosed dementia. This means they don’t have access to the vital care and support that a diagnosis can bring. Getting a diagnosis can be daunting, but we believe it’s better to know. And so do 91% of people affected by dementia. Over 9 in 10 people affected by dementia say getting a diagnosis has benefited them. It allows them to receive practical advice and support, to plan for the future, and can even offer a sense of relief in knowing what’s going on. Alzheimer’s Society has dedicated advice and support for anyone concerned that they or someone they’re close to may be experiencing signs of dementia, as well as developing resources to make the diagnosis process easier.

#AskUsAnything this Dementia Action Week Many people are worried about ‘saying the wrong thing’ to someone living with dementia, yet a friendly face or listening ear can make the world of difference. This Dementia Action Week, Alzheimer’s Society is encouraging everyone to take action by starting a conversation; whether it’s calling a relative with dementia or visiting a neighbour, it’s time to start talking! Our research shows that every three minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia. Despite almost all of us knowing someone affected, two-thirds of people living with dementia report feeling isolated and lonely. ‘All it takes is a conversation to see we’re still us’ Dementia Action Week will be brought to life by showing kids asking people with dementia profound and funny questions to challenge misconceptions and show that people with dementia, although they have struggles, are still themselves and all people need to do is ask. We understand that it can be difficult to know what to say. But Alzheimer’s Society is here to provide information and tips on how you can start a conversation. Visit alzheimers.org.uk/DAW Even in the later stages of dementia when having a conversation might become difficult, keeping in touch means a lot. Seeing friends and loved ones brings feelings of happiness and comfort, and the ‘emotional memory’ remains with people living with dementia long after the memory of the visit may have gone. Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity. We provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia. Visit alzheimers.org.uk/DAW to learn more about dementia and find the answers to the questions you’re too awkward to ask. Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Action Week (20-26 May 2019) unites people, workplaces, schools and communities to take action and improve the lives of people living with dementia. We all have a role to play in making the UK a dementia-friendly place to live and that’s what Dementia Action Week is all about. Starting a conversation is just the beginning. Unite with us against dementia. Volunteer. Donate. Campaign for change. Visit alzheimers.org.uk/DAW. #AskUsAnything #DAW2019 Interested in getting the latest updates from the Society?

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - A dollop of peanut butter and a ruler can be used to confirm a diagnosis of early stage Alzheimer's disease, University of Florida Health researchers have found. Jennifer Stamps, a graduate student in the UF McKnight Brain Institute Center for Smell and Taste, and her colleagues reported the findings of a small pilot study in the Journal of the Neurological Sciences. Stamps came up with the idea of using peanut butter to test for smell sensitivity while she was working with Dr. Kenneth Heilman, the James E. Rooks distinguished professor of neurology and health psychology in the UF College of Medicine's department of neurology.She noticed while shadowing in Heilman's clinic that patients were not tested for their sense of smell. The ability to smell is associated with the first cranial nerve and is often one of the first things to be affected in cognitive decline. Stamps also had been working in the laboratory of Linda Bartoshuk, the William P. Bushnell presidentially endowed professor in the College of Dentistry's department of community dentistry and behavioral sciences and director of human research in the Center for Smell and Taste. 🤍 "Dr. Heilman said, 'If you can come up with something quick and inexpensive, we can do it,'" Stamps said. She thought of peanut butter because, she said, it is a "pure odorant" that is only detected by the olfactory nerve and is easy to access.

I hope this podcast's information will help you be prepared as your loved one moves through each stage of the disease. There is some variation in what different people think are the Stages of Dementia. I am of the mindset to keep things simple – so I think of this disease in 4 stages: Early-, Middle-, Late- and End-Stage; or Mild, Moderate, Severe, and ultimately the dying process.

#alzheimer #dementia #braindisorder 🤍 Dementia is a brain disorder that affects thinking, especially memory, and causes changes in behavior that severely interferes with daily functioning and independence. To be considered dementia, there must be a change, a decline from a higher level of function. Although dementias can occur in younger people, most occur in people older than 65. Contrary to popular belief, dementia is not a normal part of aging and should not be treated as such. The memory loss in many dementias is unusual because it affects short-term memory early on while leaving long-term memory intact. This causes confusion in friends and family who don’t understand how someone can remember something that happened 60 years ago but cannot remember what they had for breakfast that morning. In 1906, Dr. Alois Alzheimer described a dementia that would be named after him – Alzheimer’s Disease. At the time, when most people rarely lived past the age of 50, it was rare. Now, in 2018, it is the most common type, comprising 60 to 80 percent of dementia worldwide and something that is feared by many. We know a great deal about Alzheimer’s Disease including some genetic factors, the areas of the brain that are affected and the changes and destruction that takes place at the level of the cells. There are some drugs that have been developed that can slow down the disease but cannot cure it. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, a nonprofit mutual insurance company, is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. BCBSM provides and administers health benefits to more than 4.4 million members residing in Michigan in addition to employees of Michigan-headquartered companies who reside outside the state.

Neuropsychiatric symptoms—or NPS—are the mood and emotional symptoms of dementias and other brain diseases that are often overlooked and undertreated. They can have an enormous negative impact on the patient, their loved ones, and their caregivers. Neuropsychiatric symptoms are often the earliest sign of Alzheimer’s disease—occurring even before a diagnosis. When combined with the early memory loss and cognitive changes, people with Alzheimer’s can find that they have trouble managing finances, miss appointments, lose interest in things they previously enjoyed, jeopardize relationships with loved ones and family members, and even get themselves into dangerous situations. This short film addresses why we need to shake the stigma and recognize neuropsychiatric symptoms as a medical condition that can be treated to lessen the burden of already devastating diseases.
