9336182 Alzheimer’s disease a Chronic Illness In 1906 Dr. Alois Alzheimer was examining a woman who had passed away from an odd mental illness that had memory failure, speech problems and erratic behavior. While examining her he found some abnormal clumps in her brain and bundles of fiber that where tangled. This was the first case of Alzheimer’s that had been documented. There is only one way to truly diagnosis a person with Alzheimer’s was to do an autopsy. The Alzheimer’s Association has reported this disease to be linked as one the most common forms of dementia and is number six in the cause of death in the United States of America.
Speed may face having the disease and the impact Alzheimer’s has on society and its resources. Alzheimer’s is a disease that effects the central nervous system. According the livestrong.com, the loss of functioning brain tissue that occurs with Alzheimer disease initially causes problems with memory and learning. Personality, intellectual function and mood are greatly affected as the disease progresses. As Mr.
Understanding the neurology of dementia 1a Describe a range of causes of dementia syndrome. Causes of dementia include: Alzheimer’s disease, vascular (multi-Infarct) disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, fronto-temporal dementia (including pick’s disease), alcohol-related dementia (including Korsakoff’s syndrome) and Aids-related dementia. Dementia is caused by damage to the brain cells. The brain is built up of different areas that is responsible for different functions i.e. memory, judgement and movement.
You may be suffering from a disease called Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a common form of dementia. This disease is a degenerative brain disorder of the hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, noecortex, nucleus basalis, locus coeruleus, and raphe nuclei (Carlson, 2008). This disease was discovered in 1906 by a German physician named Alois Alzheimer. Scientists are learning new important about this disease.
Alzheimer's disease affects the brain through exponentially greater cell death and tissue loss, resulting in a decreased brain size. As a result, behavior, memory and thinking are affected. Vascular dementia is caused by blockages and breaches in the brain's blood supply that damage the brain and can be caused by any condition which results in an interruption to the blood flow to the brain, and as well as strokes, this could include diseased arteries, heart attacks, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol, diabetes, furred arteries and irregular heart rhythms. Any condition causing damage to the circulation of blood to the brain carries a risk to mental functioning. People experiencing vascular dementia will, like those with Alzheimer’s disease, have problems with learning, remembering, recognition, planning and problem solving.
Alzheimer’s Disease Pre cal 1 Project Dec. 9, 2009 Alzheimer’s is a disease that affects the brain causing memory to be lost, also known as dementia. It gained its name from German physician, Alois Alzheimer, who was the first to diagnose the disease in 1906(Alzheimer's Association.) This is a disease which impairs the memory and other areas of the brain that have to deal with memory. Not only does it cause memory loss, it affects the ability to organize thoughts and reason, the ability to use correct language, and/or the ability to see the visual world accurately. Because of this, patients with the disease, in severe cases, may have a decline in their usual level of functioning (WebMD.)
