Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

2.0K
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

Dementia01:30

Dementia

730
Dementia is a collective term for cognitive disorders primarily affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning. It is not a specific disease but a syndrome, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common cause, accounting for approximately 60-80% of cases. Other types include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Dementia affects millions worldwide, particularly older adults, though it is not a normal part of aging.
The progression of dementia is generally gradual....

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

343
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

1.3K
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder, is pathologically identified by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles composed of tau protein. AD pharmacotherapy aims to manage cognitive symptoms, delay disease progression, and treat behavioral symptoms. The treatment is primarily symptomatic and palliative, with no definitive disease-modifying therapy available. Cholinesterase inhibitors, including donepezil (Aricept), rivastigmine (Exelon), and galantamine (Razadyne), are...

Aging

1.1K
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Social Work
  • Child and Youth Development

Background:

  • Intergenerational programs positively impact quality of life and well-being.
  • Programs involving persons with dementia and children/youth require examination of characteristics, goals, and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the characteristics, goals, and outcomes of intergenerational programs for persons with dementia and children or youth.
  • To identify common program designs and their effects on participants.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of 27 articles identified from 25 databases and other sources.
  • Articles were selected based on information regarding program design, goals, outcomes, or participant perceptions.

Main Results:

  • Three main themes emerged: program design, outcomes for children/youth, and outcomes for persons with dementia.
  • Music, arts-based, and narrative programs were most common.
  • Outcomes included improved perceptions of aging and dementia, behavior, mood, engagement, and sense of self. Meaningful activities and relationship-building were key, not program type.

Conclusions:

  • Intergenerational programs can significantly benefit both persons with dementia and youth participants.
  • Social work practitioners are well-positioned to develop, facilitate, and evaluate these programs.
  • Further research is needed to address methodological challenges and establish best practices.
