Alzheimers sygdom og demens

With regard to the sporadic form of Alzheimer's disease, a reduction to molecular-biological or genetic processes does not sufficiently contribute to the understanding of its development. Its pathogenesis only becomes clearer from an emergent perspective, a critical examination of the existing hypotheses on the development of the disease and the inclusion of fundamental scientific findings. Against an extremely complex background, the energetic factor stands out. The efficiency of some processes in cellular energy use and production points to principles of quantum information. In this context, potentially new diagnostic and therapeutic methods are discussed.

Næsvisheder frabedes er en humoristisk kortroman, der handler om forholdet mellem en søn og hans demente far, som bor på plejehjem. Samtalerne mellem far og søn tager nogle finurlige krumspring.“NÆSVISHEDER FRABEDES” er en lille perle af en fortælling om en søn og hans demente far, som bor på plejehjem – lige nu et meget aktuelt emne – Forfatteren, Michael Pedersen, skriver med en humoristisk indfaldsvinkel til handlingen og den empatiske forbindelse – far og søn imellem!Læseren får nogle herlige gode grin undervejs … Man har virkelig lyst til at læse videre … Anne Regitze Petersen (pensioneret skolelærer)“Romanen har en finurlig og skæv humor, især i beskrivelserne af Peter selv og hans forhold til sin far. Den har også en underliggende tone af alvor og tristesse over, at livet ikke blev som ventet.” Lektørudtalelse, DBC“God bog. Meget fin og ganske usentimental. Nogen ville sige sort komik. Og denne pragtfulde umulige far-figur. Og sønnen, der fører fanen videre. Det er jo på den ene side tragisk, men også enormt befriende festligt, ja, livsbekræftende. Der bliver sagt meget på de 70 sider – også på de 10.000 sider, som er imellem sætningerne. Jeg kan rigtig godt lide den måde, musikken og fortiden blandes ind i historien – ligesom satsstykker. Det er en lille perle, sgu.” Jens Blendstrup (forfatter)Uddrag af bogenMin gamle far griner og slår sig på lårene, mens tårerne triller ned ad kinderne.Pludselig ser han over på mig. Han ser overrasket ud.”Hvem er du?”…”Hold dig nu på måtten, Madsen.” Han slår sig på låret og fløjter videre.Der går noget tid, uden der er en lyd på båndet, så hører jeg min egen stemme.Min far sidder og smiler bredt. De gamle, gule tænder vrinsker et hestegrin.”Hvad tænker du på?” spørger jeg.”Se ind i mine øjne, og læs deri svaret, min dreng,” griner han og kan næsten ikke stoppe. Det er først, da et hosteanfald er ved at tage livet af ham, at en vis form for alvor atter melder sin ankomst i hans hjerne.Om forfatteren Michael Pedersen (f. 1974) er gymnasielærer og har tidligere udgivet Den afmægtige Adam, 2007, Evighedsstudenter, 2008 og Kierkegaards kabale, 2013, Potemkins paraply, 2021, En stor misforståelse, 2022, På egen regning, 2022.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, University of Cologne, course: English Studies, language: English, abstract: Primary progressive aphasia is a relatively newly recognized subtype of dementia. Dementia is a clinical condition, in which a progressive decline of mental and emotional capacities occurs (Mesulam 2000:159). It affects fifty million people worldwide, with ten million new cases yearly (N.U. Dementia 2017). There is a wide variety of symptoms, including the loss or decline of memory, ability to focus, difficulties with reasoning, communication and language (Alzheimer's Society 2005:3), interfering with the independence of the daily living situation and activities (Mesulam 2000:159). To this day, Primary progressive aphasia is often misdiagnosed, because of its unpopularity and therefore lack of knowledge of many people. Those misdiagnoses steal valuable time to find effective treatments, which, at least, could slow down the progressive nature of the illness. Studying the relationship between language impairments and affected parts of the brain in Primary progressive aphasia, allows us to reach a better understanding of the language network in the brain and pushes forward the search for effective treatments or even a cure.This termpaper presents a review of literature, especially by Mesulam, on Primary progressive aphasia and the language impairments, declining progressively throughout the illness. The question this paper tries to answer is, what kinds of language impairments can be present in Primary progressive aphasia and which parts of the brain are responsible for certain deficits, when affected by different diseases. It will give information about the most common language impairments seen in patients, because no case is exactly the same and not everybody experiences the same difficulties. Furthermore, the paper will explore the language network of the brain, where it is located, which parts it includes and which parts play a role in Primary progressive aphasia, for short PPA. To look at the clinical picture from another perspective, a 14- years follow-up case study will give an example of speech impairments of a patient diagnosed with Primary progressive aphasia and show the neuropathological findings of the affected brain parts, which are responsible for the specific impairments.

Essay aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Klinische Psychologie, Psychopathologie, Prävention, Note: 0,7, Philipps-Universität Marburg (Erziehungs- und Bildungswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Biografiearbeit in Theorie und Praxis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Dieser Essay arbeitet im Folgenden zwei verschiedene Methoden der Biografiearbeit heraus, die das Erinnerungsvermögen bei an Alzheimer-Demenz erkrankten Menschen so lange wie möglich erhalten sollen. Daher ergibt sich folgende Forschungsfrage: Inwieweit können bestimmte Methoden der Biografiearbeit bei demenzerkrankten Menschen angewandt werden, um ihr Erinnerungsvermögen zu fördern?Der Hauptteil bietet zunächst einen grundlegenden Überblick über die Erkrankung, ihren Verlauf und ihre Behandlung. Ebenfalls werden Grundzüge der Biografiearbeit dargestellt. Auf Grundlage dieser Ausführungen werden der sogenannte ¿Erinnerungskoffer¿ sowie gemeinsames Musizieren als Methoden vorgestellt, die sich in der Arbeit mit demenzerkrankten Menschen etabliert haben. In der Betreuung wird auf Biografiearbeit zurückgegriffen, die das Hervorrufen von Erinnerungen zum Ziel hat. Um dies zu gewährleisten, müssen sämtliche Informationen über Interessen sowie der historische und gesellschaftliche Kontext Betroffener zusammengetragen werden. Der Erinnerungskoffer sowie das gemeinsame Musizieren erweisen sich als zielführende Methoden, um Erinnerungen hervorzurufen und Menschen in ihrem Verweilen in der Vergangenheit zu unterstützen. Des Weiteren bieten sie eine optimale Möglichkeit, das Gehirn weiterhin zu trainieren, um seinen geistigen Verfall hinauszuzögern.
