Dementia01:30

Dementia

183
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....

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment01:22

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

270
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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

319
Cognitive development continues throughout adulthood, undergoing significant shifts across early, middle, and late stages. Individual transition occurs from adolescent idealism to pragmatic and adaptable thinking in early adulthood. During this period, individuals learn to integrate personal beliefs with the recognition that other perspectives are equally valid. Exposure to the complexities of modern society, diverse experiences, and higher education contribute to this adaptive thought process,...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

2.1K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview01:26

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

692
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...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment01:24

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment

396
Neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), involve the gradual and irreversible destruction of neurons in particular brain areas. These disorders exhibit standard features like proteinopathies, selective vulnerability of some neurons, and an interaction of intrinsic properties, genetics, and environmental influences in neural injury.
Parkinson's Disease is primarily a result of the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. The cornerstone of...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Neuroscience
  • Rehabilitation Science

Background:

  • Meaningful activities are vital for cognitive function and well-being in individuals with dementia.
  • Loss of familiar activities can negatively impact quality of life and independence in dementia care.
  • Maintaining basic activities of daily living (ADLs) is a key challenge in dementia management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a novel method for recommending alternative meaningful activities for people with dementia.
  • To ensure recommended activities support the maintenance of essential activities of daily living.
  • To improve the quality of life for individuals living with dementia through activity engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a recommendation system for meaningful activities.
  • Integration of user preferences and functional needs into the activity suggestion algorithm.
  • Evaluation of the method's ability to suggest activities that preserve ADLs.

Main Results:

  • The proposed method successfully identifies suitable replacement activities for lost meaningful activities.
  • Recommendations consider the impact on maintaining activities of daily living.
  • Preliminary findings suggest potential for improved engagement and quality of life.

Conclusions:

  • A new approach to activity recommendation can support individuals with dementia.
  • This method addresses the dual need for meaningful engagement and functional independence.
  • Further research is warranted to validate the long-term benefits in dementia care.
