Senile dementia can be defined as a progressive disorder occurring in the elderly individuals, which results in destruction of their brain cells. Dementia might occur due to a number of factors; in the older patients however, the most prevalent cause of dementia is a medical condition called artherosclerosis (a condition characterized by decreased supply of blood to the brain). Below we have discussed in brief about the effective homeopathic remedies of dementia. Baryta Carbonicum: This homeopathic medication is prescribed to individuals diagnosed with dementia; often doctors also recommend patients with artherosclerosis to take this medicine for preventing the onset of dementia. Baryta Carbonicum works effectively as a treatment for mental health problems like childish behaviors, timidity,  [...]

Adult ADHD symptoms come under the groups of inattentiveness, restless & impulsive behaviour. The range & acuteness of symptoms differ across individuals – though they should be recent & incessant, continual since infancy & the reason for grave problems in various life spheres for an identification to be done. One important common point which psychologists note about ADHD is that adults with this disorder have a tendency of seeking therapy when they are facing considerable work, relationship issues or duo. These people mostly visit their psychologists when disheartened, having faced repetitive failures in life, incapable of achieving their objectives & having failed to live up to the expectations of people around. Job & schooling are duo areas wherein the disorder  [...]

I have always been fascinated by how the human brain controls every bodily activity ranging from cardiac rate, sexual functioning to emotional, memory & erudition. Finally, the brain which is the most complex organ in our body shapes our aspirations, vision, imagination, thought process and factually what makes us human. Hence, I naturally veered towards studying Alzheimer’s disease when I pursued a neuroscience degree at Grad. School. I has been quite providential to have the opportunity of working with AD & Parkinson’s disease sufferers deploying sophisticated imaging method like Magnetic Resonance Imaging & Positron Emission Tomography to examine brain functioning. But, what I didn’t know during that time was how the disease would come to impact me & my kin. During  [...]

The preliminary novel guidelines in twenty-seven years for diagnosing Alzheimer’s disease can translate to doubled cases being identified in Americans described as having the brain-robber condition. Issuing of the parameters lately done by the US NIH & the Alzheimer’s Assn. is differing in duo crucial ways from the past suggestions that have been used since the mid-eighties. Firstly, Alzheimer’s disease is presently being identified as a continuance of stages – the condition itself with apparent signs & symptoms; MCI (mild cognitive impairment) with mild-ranging signs & even the pre-clinical staging, when there is absence of any symptom though when identifiable brain alterations might have by then arisen. Secondly, the new-fangled recommendations integrate the usage of so-dubbed  [...]

Skin patches stuck to the neck which enhance blood supply to the brain can well be a major novel therapy for Alzheimer’s disease. Matchbox-sized electronics gadget deploys infrared light for relaxing & widening carotid arteries charting their course from the heart onwards & winding up in the brain. Hence, as a result there is an augment in blood circulation – earlier trials have found that improved blood supply could slacken disease advancement. The tool is believed to function by revving up the manufacture of nitric oxide, the innate body chemical that aids in relaxing muscles lining the arteries. Lab evaluations have shown that infrared light – which night-vision eye goggles use – penetrate the skin’s surface & stimulate an enzyme mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase present  [...]

What did you do last Christmas? Which location did you decide upon for honeymooning? Start counting backwards from one hundred by 7. Bear in mind the following trio-word series: bus, castle, fork. These are some of the battery of queries put forth by the lead stars of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ to Alzheimer’s disease sufferers for ascertaining if they qualify for admission into a scientific study for the current season’s show. However, in case one is seated on a divan 5 minutes after racking one’s brains trying to recollect the word ‘castle’ must one be worried regarding one’s own brain health & how precise is this test to gauge Alzheimer’s disease risk? Alzheimer’s disease Grey’s Memory Tests Though the test on the television show isn’t recognized by name, several of the  [...]

According to recent stats, 1 from 8 people would be falling victim to Alzheimer’s disease at some or the other stage during his/ her lifetime. Since the disease is linked to vascular harm in the brains, several of these people would be succumbing to an agonizing & rather deadly stroke. However, scientists helmed by Doctor D. Frenkel from Tel Aviv Univ. are busy in the developmental process on a nasal-delivery two-in-one vaccination which assures protecting from strokes as well as Alzheimer’s disease. The novel vaccination can repair vascular harm in the brains via mustering up troop from the immune system of the body. Alongside the vaccination’s prophylactic impact, it could also be working when the disease symptoms are existent. A study done on such a novel technological approach  [...]
