    Extractions: Categories Chapter Index A-Z All pages ... Forum A progressive dementia with extensive neurological signs, due to specific neuropathological changes (subacute spongiform encephalopathy) that are presumed to be caused by a transmissible agent. Onset is usually in middle or later life, typically in the fifth decade, but may be at any adult age. The course is subacute, leading to death within 1-2 years. Diagnostic guidelines Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease should be suspected in all cases of a dementia that progresses fairly rapidly over months to 1 or 2 years and that is accompanied or followed by multiple neurological symptoms. In some cases, such as the so called amyotrophic form, the neurological signs may precede the onset of the dementia. There is usually a progressive spastic paralysis of the limbs, accompanied by extrapyramidal signs with tremor, rigidity, and choreoathetoid movements. Other variants may include ataxia, visual failure, or muscle fibrillation and atrophy of the upper motor neuron type. The triad consisting of rapidly progressing, devastating dementia

    Alzheimers disease is the most common and important cause of senile dementia. A look at this disease.  
    http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/mosby_factsheets/Alzheimers_disease.html
    
    Extractions: December, 2002 Download this factsheet Dementia is a broad term for the deterioration of brain function which results in loss of memory, reduced language skills and behavioural and emotional problems. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia – it accounts for more than half the estimated 500,000 to 700,000 cases in the UK. Alzheimer’s disease is rare before the age of 60 but the risk of developing it increases with age. Around a quarter of people over 80 have the disease. When the brain is functioning normally, it exchanges signals from other parts of the body, and other parts of the brain, across the gaps (synapses) between nerve cells. These signals – in the form of countless electrical impulses – are essential for brain activity such as language and problem solving. They are also involved in controlling motor functions, such as instructing muscles when and how to work. Alzheimer’s disease is the result of the destruction of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. These nerve cells cannot be replaced, so a person with Alzheimer’s disease gets progressively worse as more cells are destroyed.

28. Smoking Does Not Protect Against Dementia Or Alzheimer's Disease
    Contrary to suggestions from previous research, this study of over 34,000 subjects found no effect of smoking on senility or Alzheimer's. The previous suggestions that it did came from flawed studies, say the authors.  
    http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2000-04/BMJ-Sdnp-2004100.php
    
    Extractions: BMJ-British Medical Journal Smoking and dementia in male British doctors: prospective study Smoking does not protect against dementia or Alzheimer's disease, shows a study in this week's BMJ, contradicting the implications of some previous research. Doll, Peto, and colleagues, from the Clinical Trial Service Unit and Epidemiological Studies Unit, Radcliffe Infirmary Oxford, report on observations of over 34,000 male UK doctors whose smoking habits have been reviewed every six to 12 years since 1951, to determine the impact on their health. They also reviewed the published data on the associations between smoking and Alzheimer's disease. Over 24,000 of the doctors had died by the end of 1998. Dementia was mentioned on the death certificates of 483. Among 473 whose smoking habits were recorded at least 10 years before their death, when they would not have been influenced by the start of the disease, the prevalence of both Alzheimer's disease (the predominant cause) and of other dementias was similar in both smokers and non-smokers. If anything, persistent smoking may increase rather than decrease the age specific onset rate of dementia, conclude the authors. The previous suggestions that smoking might be protective, say the authors, came from studies that were flawed because they were too small, or had relied on information about smoking habits from people other than the sufferers themselves.

    A guide and resource for caregivers of Alzheimer's patients by someone who's been through it.  
    http://www.angelfire.com/ny2/dementia1/index.html
    
    Extractions: Hi, my name is Sandy. I created this site to hopefully be of help to someone else who is suffering the same heartbreak that I did when my Mom (pictured above) was diagnosed with dementia. I will share my story in detail and include as much information about where to get help that I can find. I hope you find the info you seek as well as a little comfort here. Here's what's inside: Tributes To Victims Tributes To Caregivers Memorials: Loved Ones Lost In brief ... Mom was diagnosed in 1992, at first just being forgetful of little things, then bigger things such as leaving the stove on, etc. Slowly she also became aggressive, dilusional and eventually helpless. It was the hardest time in my life. My Mom passed away in May of 1997, after developing pneumonia from inactivity ... she had even forgotten how to walk ! While I would not force religion on anyone, I can only attest to the fact that faith in God and a belief in a better life after this one, is what helped me. I rest assured that my Mom is at peace now and free of her tormented thoughts. I hope you will seek faith also, in whatever higher power you believe in. They say God never gives us more than we can handle, and I guess it must be true, because I never would have thought I could cope with those 5 years. I hope you like this site and send it to anyone you know who has a friend or loved one with this most heartbreaking disease. Thanks ! Search term:
