Faktabok om de vanligaste demensdiagnoserna och vilka behov de olika patientgrupperna har.
Demenssjukdom är ett samlingsnamn för många olika tillstånd som påverkar hjärnan. Numera benämner man dem också som kognitiva sjukdomar. Demenssjukdom är en av de vanligaste folksjukdomarna och ses som en av världens stora hälsoutmaningar. Det krävs ökad kunskap för att möta och vårda den växande gruppen av personer som insjuknar. Därför finns den här boken.
Detta är demenssjukdom – fakta om kognitiva sjukdomar presenterar de fem vanligaste demensdiagnoserna och vilka behov de olika patientgrupperna har. Den beskriver också symtom som ofta misstolkas som demenssjukdom och förklarar BPSD, beteendemässiga och psykiska symtom vid demens.
Boken tar bland annat upp begreppet kognitiv funktionsnedsättning, Alzheimers sjukdom, vaskulär demens, frontallobsdemens, Parkinsons sjukdom, Lewykroppsdemens, PTSD, intellektuell funktionsnedsättning och Downs syndrom.
Budskapet är att en ökad medvetenhet om vad kognitiva sjukdomar innebär ger större möjlighet till en personcentrerad vård och omsorg. Boken kan även användas som uppslagsbok och varje kapitel avslutas med reflektionsfrågor.
Boken vänder sig till yrkesverksamma som möter personer med demenssjukdom och kognitiv svikt. Den kan också läsas av närstående. Denna andra upplaga är uppdaterad med ny forskning, nya begrepp och ett nytt stycke om känslor, både positiva och negativa.

Bursting Neurons and Fading Memories
An Alternative Hypothesis of the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer's Disease

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
Advances in Alzheimer's disease (AD) research have been challenging and without major breakthroughs in understanding its pathological basis. The reigning hypothesis suggests AD is the result of extracellular amyloid deposition that seed to form amyloid plaques, which then grow and kill neighboring neurons. However, there are several inconsistencies with this hypothesis, not to mention the inability to show clinical benefit in several failed clinical trials by pharmaceuticals (i.e., from Pfizer, Eli Lilly, etc.), and it is in the field's best interest to explore and test multiple hypotheses for pathology rather than drive the majority of research on this single amyloid theory. Reviewing many scientifically peer-reviewed publications, this book describes the "Inside-Out" hypothesis on how amyloid escapes the circulatory system through a dysfunctional blood-brain barrier to bind to the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor on pyramidal neurons. Over time, excessive amounts of amyloid appear to be internalized, resulting in neuron death and lysis. This simple mechanism readily explains plaque composition, size, shape, and location. Based on the current direction of research in the field, this hypothesis appears years from any research and development.
The clear, compelling, and unifying "Inside-Out" hypothesis of AD is brought to life through a string of scientific publications, synthesizing many known features of disease pathology A high-level text on AD pathology, and suggestions for progress in a stagnating field Point-by-point discussion on the issues surrounding the current amyloid cascade, and possible reasons why current clinical trials have failed Contains high-quality photomicrographs in support of the "Inside-Out" hypothesis using single, double, and triple immunohistochemistry on human AD CNS tissues Chapters address the need for a unifying plaque nomenclature, the importance of intracellular amyloid, the blood-brain barrier, inflammation, and autoimmunity1 741 kr

Genes, Environment and Alzheimer's Disease discusses the role that activities such as exercise can play in cardiovascular health, while also highlighting the fact that the last 10 years have brought great discoveries in the strong environmental component of brain disorders, neurodegeneration, and cognitive decline.
It is now clear that brain insult is an environmental risk factor for AD, while on the other hand, lifestyle components such as exercise and level of education may play a protective role, delaying the onset and/or severity of the disease. Evidence from experiments in rodent models of Alzheimer's disease contributes major insight into the molecular mechanisms by which the environment plays its role in AD. Additionally, there are diseases related to lifestyle that may lead to AD. This volume reviews new discoveries related to all these factors, serving as a translational tool for clinicians and researchers interested in genetic and environmental risk factors for the disease.
Provides the first volume to link genetic and environmental risk factors for Alzheimer's disease and dementia Aids researchers and clinicians in understanding the basic mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline Brings the basic science and clinical perspectives together in a single volume, facilitating translational possibilities Includes a range of molecular to behavioral components assembled into a single volume that creates an excellent resource for basic and clinical neuroscientists1 326 kr
