Memory loss disease

in Project HOPE3 years ago

Alzheimer's disease is a common form of dementia. When the problem progresses to an acute state, it prevents the patient from doing his or her daily work, recognizing friends, relatives, and understanding. It is a deadly disease that worsens over time.

Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease of the brain, not a mental illness. Mental illness is a condition in which the brain structure is normal but the behavior is abnormal. The person with this disease gradually loses his intelligence, memory and personality. Usually, the disease is more common in the elderly and suddenly can not remember much. As a result, some abnormality was observed in his behavior. Abnormal levels of misalignment with age are daily personal.

Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease of the brain, it is not a mental illness. Mental illness is a condition in which the brain structure is normal but the behavior is abnormal. People with Alzheimer's disease gradually lose their intelligence, memory, and personality. Usually, the disease is more common in the elderly and suddenly can not remember much. As a result, some abnormality was observed in his behavior. The wrong tendencies of abnormal levels with age make daily personal life obsolete and dependent.

History of the disease

Dr. Alice Alzheimer's first described the disease in 1906. A man named Agusti Deta was suffering from illusory vision and thoughts, memory impairment, difficulty speaking, not being able to remember the correct word, irritable mood, anger, intolerance, skepticism etc. Postmortem examination showed that his brain was small in size. Nerve fibers are severely affected by amyloid plaques and the remaining neurons are filled with neurofibrillary tangles. This type of disease was later named Alzheimer's disease.

From the age of 60, the risk of developing Alzheimer's doubles every 5 years. In addition to increasing life expectancy, the prevalence of Alzheimer's is increasing in the developing world. Any disease that is rapidly aging, is more prevalent among diabetics and women.

What is the reason

According to medical science, the disease can be caused by heredity and genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors. In this disease, a special type of protein accumulates in the brain cells and causes damage and destruction. At the root of all this is the accumulation of advanced glycation and products through the process of non-enzymatic glycation. These destroy neurons and their interconnections. These changes occur slowly when the amount of glucose is normal and fast when it is high.

Treatment

Some medications help a patient retain their memory for a short time, but their effectiveness diminishes over time. People with a variety of complex diseases can also suffer from Alzheimer's disease at the same time. Elderly patients need to be treated considering the risk of Alzheimer’s with all diseases.
