Extractions: Dateline: 12/07/97 (Updated and expanded: 12/31/97) Early in the AIDS epidemic, there were fears that as many as 40% of HIV-infected people might develop neurological problems due to HIV's effects on the brain. In practice, the true figure has been very much lower. One possibility is that anti-HIV drugs have helped to prevent these problems. As summarized in NAM's short factsheet on dementia, HIV-related brain impairment has been given several different names, including AIDS dementia complex or ADC. Last week the American Medical Association published a detailed overview of current thinking on how HIV affects the central nervous system. And of course, apart from HIV's direct effects, opportunistic infections such as toxoplasmosis and cryptococcal meningitis can also affect the brain. The CDC has just published a new brochure on avoiding toxoplasmosis. More information is also contained in Project Inform's factsheet on dementia. Studies in the late 1980s, including two placebo-controlled trials conducted by the

Opioid Analogue May Slow Spread Of HIV In Brain
In some HIVinfected patients, HIV-1 infection in the brain leads to a disease syndromecalled aids dementia complex, which results in apathy, difficulties
http://www.drugabuse.gov/NIDA_Notes/NNVol11N4/Opioid.html

Extractions: September/October 1996 By Neil Swan , NIDA NOTES Staff Writer Synthetic compounds, or analogues, related to the opiates morphine and heroin can limit the growth of HIV - the virus that causes AIDS - in the brain, according to NIDA-funded research findings. The study with human cell culture suggests that a synthetic compound that binds to the brain's kappa opioid receptors (KOR) may curtail a virus subtype called HIV-1 from spreading in the brains of people infected with the AIDS virus. A drug analogue is a chemical compound that differs slightly from another drug. Although the study was performed in cell culture, the results suggest the possibility that a medication could be developed to prevent a particularly destructive aspect of AIDS - the loss of intellectual capacity. This research is part of a broad range of NIDA-supported studies of the complex relationship between drugs of abuse and AIDS, including studies of the effects of drug use on the body's immune system and, subsequently, on infection and disease progression. The study also provides an example of how research on drugs of abuse can have benefits in other areas of medicine. In some HIV-infected patients, HIV-1 infection in the brain leads to a disease syndrome called "AIDS dementia complex," which results in apathy, difficulties in muscle control and movement, and problems in performing complex tasks. The mental capacity of patients with dementia complex may deteriorate until they are incapable of voluntary acts.

http://www.aids.org/FactSheets/504-dementia.html

Extractions: The nervous system has two parts. The brain and spinal cord are the central nervous system (CNS). The nerves and muscles are the peripheral nervous system. Peripheral means around the outside. People with HIV disease can have several nerve problems. A common problem is peripheral neuropathy. This causes nerve and muscle pain, especially in the feet, legs, and hands. See Fact Sheet 555 for more information. CNS problems include depression and problems with sleeping, balance, walking, thinking and memory. At first, these were all called "AIDS Dementia Complex". However, there is a wide range of AIDS-related nerve troubles. AIDS Dementia means ongoing major problems with thinking, memory, and usually also with controlling the legs and arms. Before combination antiviral therapy was available, about 20% of people with AIDS developed dementia. There are many fewer cases now. The exact rate is not known.

Extractions: Dementia is the loss of mental functions such as thinking, memory, and reasoning that is severe enough to interfere with a person's daily functioning. Dementia is not a disease itself, but rather a group of symptoms that are caused by various diseases or conditions. Symptoms can also include changes in personality, mood, and behavior. In some cases, the dementia can be treated and cured because the cause is treatable. Examples of this include dementia caused by drugs or alcohol, or hormone or vitamin imbalances. In some cases, although the person may appear to have dementia, a severe depression can be causing the symptoms. This is known as pseudo-dementia (false dementia) and is highly treatable. In most cases, however, dementia cannot be cured. Dementia develops when the parts of the brain that are involved with learning, memory, decision-making, and language are affected by one or more of a variety of infections or diseases. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, but there are as many as 50 other known causes. Most of these causes are very rare.
