\"Memory-Care-Naperville-IL\"<\/p>\n

Degenerative conditions are known to affect aging seniors. Three brain disorders that share similar characteristics and are prevalent among the elder populations include Lewy body dementia<\/a> (LBD), Parkinson\u2019s disease and Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/strong>. All three of these brain diseases gradually take over the sufferer\u2019s cognitive abilities, leading to difficulties with thinking, reasoning and\/or movement. Fortunately, those affected by these conditions can live at home safely with effective memory care<\/a><\/strong> services.<\/p>\n

US Figures<\/h2>\n

Lewy body dementia affects 1.3 million seniors in the US. LBD is commonly seen as the third most common type of dementia.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s disease will rob the health of one million seniors in the US by 2020. Each year, about 60,000 people in the US are given the fateful diagnoses of Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

Five million Americans live in the grips of Alzheimer\u2019s disease, making this disease the most predominant form of dementia.<\/p>\n

Descriptors<\/h2>\n

Lewy body dementia is a type of dementia that attacks the brain. An exorbitant buildup of Lewy bodies gives rise to LBD. Alpha-synuclein proteins<\/a> are components of Lewy bodies; when the brain abnormally processes these proteins, it can lead to brain disorders, such as LBD. Plaques and tangles are also found in the brains of individuals diagnosed with LBD.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s disease, as a neurodegenerative disorder, occurs when the specific neurons in the brain that produce dopamine are adversely affected.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease causes the nerve cells in the brain to degenerate and perish. As brain cells die, cognitive functions gradually decline. Researchers suspect an overabundance of plaques and tangles in the brain block communications between nerve calls, deprive cells of nutrients and eventually kill off the brain cells in afflicted individuals.<\/p>\n

Unknown Causes<\/h2>\n

Medical specialists are unable to pinpoint the exact cause of Lewy body dementia. Sufferers without a family history of LBD are known to develop the disease. Even people without genes linked to the disease develop LBD.<\/p>\n

Researchers are unable to determine the cause of Parkinson\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

What triggers the onset of Alzheimer\u2019s disease is also unknown. While the vast majority of people living with Alzheimer\u2019s disease are over 65, the disease is far from a normal part of the aging process.<\/p>\n

Similarity of Symptoms<\/h2>\n

The symptoms of LBD may appear similar to those found in Alzheimer\u2019s disease and Parkinson\u2019s disease. The memory loss that occurs in LBD sufferers is less than that which occurs in patients with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Prominent symptoms of LBD include visual hallucinations, delusions and changes in one\u2019s ability to think or reason. In congruence with the symptoms of Parkinson\u2019s disease, seniors living with LBD experience hunched postures and issues with balance.<\/p>\n

The progression of Parkinson\u2019s disease is gradual. Symptoms that appear over the years include tremors (even while at rest), rigidity in limbs and bradykinesia. Sufferers also experience issues with balance and gait.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease, too, slowly progresses over time. The earliest indication of detrimental changes in the brain is forgetting newly acquired information. Alzheimer\u2019s disease firstly affects the part of the brain responsible for learning, giving medical specialists a clue to the onset of the disease when such memory lapses occur. Plus, as brain cells die, increasingly severe symptoms appear, such as changes in mood and behavior, disorientation, difficulty swallowing and speaking, groundless suspicions of trusted loved ones, including family, caregivers and friends, and worsening confusion about time and place.<\/p>\n

Diagnosis Challenges<\/h2>\n

Testing for any form of dementia, including LBD, is largely inconclusive. Diagnoses for LBD are normally based on clinical findings, meaning medical specialists use their professional judgement to explain symptoms.<\/p>\n

Like LBD, Parkinson\u2019s disease is rather difficult to accurately diagnose. Doctors rely on diagnostic tests and symptoms for clues to the disease, especially when it is in its early phases. Physicians are often the first to conclude a patient is experiencing Parkinson\u2019s disease. A neurologist, however, will consider the diagnosis based on symptoms, like shaking, slow movement and issues with falls, if they occur over a period of time.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s, like the above, cannot be accurately diagnosed without a post-mortem examination of the brain. Physicians are, however, able to correctly diagnose Alzheimer\u2019s disease in living patients about 90 percent of the time.<\/p>\n

Treatments<\/h2>\n

\"Alzheimers-Dementia-Care-Naperville-IL\"A cure is unavailable for those suffering with Lewy body dementia. The brain cells lost by LBD do not naturally regenerate, and treatments do not currently exist to prevent damage to the nerve cells. Treatments rather focus on addressing symptoms of LBD. Medications are prescribed to help with sleep disorders, depression and behavioral issues.<\/p>\n

Parkinson\u2019s disease cannot be reversed. Its symptoms may only be managed. Medications, surgical therapies and lifestyle changes, such as getting adequate rest and exercise, help alleviate some troubling symptoms.<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease has no known cure. Research is continually performed. Recent developments in treatment offer to slow the progression of the Alzheimer\u2019s (though not halt it) and allow those plagued with the disease an improved quality of life. Currently, researchers are tasked with discovering ways to prevent the disease, delay its onset and treat existing symptoms.<\/p>\n

An aging loved one who displays symptoms of dementia, like lapses in memory, difficulty grasping place and time or challenges with gait, requires constant attention. Keeping a senior afflicted with any type of dementia safe at all times may require in-home assistance, specifically Alzheimer’s and dementia care services<\/strong><\/a>.
