Demencia activa
Área de la Ciencia:
- Gerontología
- Salud pública
- Cuidados sociales
Sus antecedentes:
- Dementia Actif ofrece actividades físicas en grupo y clubes para personas que viven con demencia (PLWD) y sus cuidadores.
- El programa tiene como objetivo mejorar la calidad de vida a través del ejercicio, Boccia, la jardinería y las actividades en línea.
- Este estudio evalúa el programa Dementia Actif en el norte de Gales, Reino Unido.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para evaluar la efectividad del programa Demencia Activa.
- Evaluar el impacto del programa en las personas que viven con demencia y sus cuidadores.
- Identificar los beneficios de las intervenciones comunitarias para la atención de la demencia.
Principales métodos:
- Se utilizó un enfoque de métodos mixtos, incluida una revisión rápida de la literatura (2012-2022).
- Se llevaron a cabo entrevistas y grupos focales con 32 partes interesadas profesionales.
- También se realizaron observaciones del investigador de las actividades y entrevistas con 12 PLWD y sus cuidadores.

Dementia

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.

Alzheimer's Disease: Treatment
196
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...

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview
496
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...

Cognitive Development During Adulthood
120
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,...

Continuing Care

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,...

Parkinson's Disease: Treatment
278
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...
