Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

1.1K
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...

Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

486
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Audiology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Hearing loss is a common, unmet need in adults with dementia, potentially worsening behavioral symptoms.
  • Traditional audiology services are often inaccessible due to cost and time constraints for dementia patients.
  • Novel, accessible service delivery models are needed for hearing treatment in dementia care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel hearing intervention for individuals with dementia and their family caregivers.
  • To assess the feasibility and impact of the Memory-HEARS intervention in an outpatient setting.

Main Methods:

  • The Memory-HEARS pilot study involved a 2-hour in-person intervention.
  • Intervention included hearing screening, communication strategies, and use of an over-the-counter amplification device.
  • Caregiver questionnaires assessed depression, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and burden at baseline and 1 month post-intervention.

Main Results:

  • Caregivers found the intervention beneficial, with most dementia patients using the amplification device daily.
  • Participants with high baseline symptom burden showed improvements in depression and neuropsychiatric symptoms.
  • No significant effect was observed on caregiver burden, but qualitative data indicated improved patient engagement.

Conclusions:

  • The Memory-HEARS intervention offers a low-cost, non-pharmacologic approach to managing hearing loss and behavioral symptoms in dementia.
  • Improved communication through this intervention may reduce symptom burden and enhance quality of life for individuals with dementia.
