Dementia01:30

Dementia

110
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: Overview01:26

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

462
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...

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment01:22

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment

179
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...

Continuing Care

1.5K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood01:30

Cognitive Development During Adulthood

92
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,...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Mutual aid is crucial for aging societies, especially for individuals with cognitive decline.
  • Social isolation and reduced societal roles are significant challenges for older adults.
  • The GO Program was designed to address these issues by fostering intergenerational support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and assess the feasibility of the GO Program.
  • To examine the program's impact on social isolation, mental health, and cognitive function.
  • To create opportunities for older adults with cognitive decline to engage socially and utilize their skills.

Main Methods:

  • A single-arm intervention study conducted in Tokyo, Japan.
  • 12 weekly one-hour GO classes pairing experienced players (supporters) with beginners (cognitive decline).
  • Feasibility, mental health, social network, and cognitive function were assessed.

Main Results:

  • High program satisfaction (99.1% attendance, no dropouts).
  • Supporters showed significant improvement in Mini Mental State Examination-Japanese scores (p < .05).
  • No significant changes were observed in beginners' measurements, though initial scores indicated mild cognitive impairment.

Conclusions:

  • The GO Program facilitates mutual aid among older adults, including those with mild cognitive decline.
  • It enables older adults to maintain active societal roles, potentially improving cognitive function.
  • The program demonstrates feasibility and positive outcomes for supporter participants.
