Did you know everybody that Alzheimer's is a brain disorder that targets your brain cells
Did you know that Vitamin E can help treat the Alzheimer's disease in the brain
Stephon, what happens to your brain cells? Isn't there something to do with tangles that are created in the brain called plaques. Who can provide more information down this avenue??
I heard from my psychology class that people with Alzheimer's can lose all their memory or just parts of their memory. Like my teacher gave an example her Aunt can't remember her own son but her aunt remembers her niece (my teacher) the catch to it though is that even though she remembers my teacher her aunt still thinks that shes only a teenager.
Well Mrs. Clark your brain cells in your cranium lose the neurons in the brain to make the brain function or interact. To provide you with information with this disease you can go to: www.alz.org

Alzheimer's is caused by a loss of brain cells, as well as changes in the cerebral cortex (the outer layer of the brain)
Plaques are build ups between cells. They consist of a protein fragment called beta-amyloid,tangles are twisted fibers with a different protein called tau. Plaques and tangles form in patterns, beginning in areas important in learning and memory and then spreading to other regions.
Did you that the age that is most important known risk factor for AD. The number of people with the disease doubles every 5 years beyond age 65.
did you know that dimentia can cause loss of your brain cell and and the early symptoms can cause you to mislay items or you may be loss by driving.
Stephon also there is drugs and non-drug treatments. They may help with both cognitive and behavioral symptoms.
Did you know that Some Scientists believe that genetics may play a role in many AD cases early-onset familial AD, a rare form of AD that usually occurs between the ages of 30 and 60, is inherited. The more common form of AD is known as late-onset. It occurs later in life, and no obvious inheritance pattern is seen in most families.

Did you know that Alzheimer's is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person's ability to carry out daily activities?I have always know that sometimes if it gets serious people may not recognize family members or have trouble speaking, reading or writing.
I have always known that people with Alzheimers may have trouble remembering things that happened recently or names of people they know.
Sometimes people with Alzheimers dont even remember their children's name or what happened the day before?
From my reading earlier in this week I read that in Epilepsy there are two types of seizures caused by it, generalized and partial.
Alzhimer's can not be prevented
Did you know that Scientists say that it causes AD. In addition to genetics and ApoE, they are studying education, diet, and environment to learn what role they might play in the development of this disease.
No stephon i did not know that. But did you know that Alzheimer's usually begins after the age of 60?
Do not put anything in the mouth of a person having a seizure.
Yes Stephon it does but it also involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language.
So what can we do to help prevent Alzheimer's or can you??
What about preventing dementia?? How is this different from Alzheimer's? I saw Patrise reading a good article on preventing dementia. What did it say?
from my prior knowledge of epilepsy physical changes from this disease are called epileptic seizures. the unusual burst of energy may occur in one part of the brain.
Why are you not supposed to put anything in the mouth of someone having a seizure???
Dementia can be prevented by brain exerising. But how do you exercise your brain?
My prior knowledge on Epilepsy is about my great uncle. He had it before he passed away and he talked about how some seizures he had were seizures that would last a few seconds, and then some that lasted so long he would wake up in the hospital. The seizures also are very deadly and that's how my great uncle came to rest.
epilepsy can not be ignored but can be treated.
Did you know epilepsy is the most common chronic disorder of the brain and the nerves?
Mrs. Clark I read that there is no sure way to prevent it but you can always increase your risks of getting it by eating healthy, keeping stress of the mind and body, and also exercising your brain.
Did you know that the Symptoms of the disease include memory loss, confusion, impaired judgment, personality changes, disorientation, and loss of language skills, and Always fatal, Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of irreversible dementia.
Did you know that when faced with Epilepsy the experience can be frightening.In a worse case scenario communication can become impossible.Epilepsy can occur at any age!!!!
Reading, playing board games, playing musical instruments, and dancing were associated with a reduced risk of dementia!
That is so true Iva. But in order to guide treatment choices, a doctor will investigate symptoms.
Did you know some of the ways to prevent Alzheimer is to develop hobbies and staying involved in activities that stimulates both the mind and body.
In Alzheimer's disease, there is an overall shrinkage of brain tissue. The grooves or furrows in the brain, plural of sulcus, are noticeably widened and there is shrinkage of the gyri well-developed folds of the brain's outer layer. In addition, the ventricles, or chambers within the brain that contain cerebrospinal fluid, are noticeably enlarged.
I have always known that Epilepsy is a brain disorder that causes people to have recurring seizures.
Did you know that epilepsy can be caused by head injuries or lack of oxygen from birth might damage the delicate electric system.
The reason you shouldn't put anything in anyone's mouth having a seizure is because if you do so you can cause injury such as, chipped teeth, broken jaw, or you can even get bitten.
I have always known that with Epilepsy People may have strange sensations and emotions or behave strangely...They may have muscle spasms or lose consciousness.
My prior knowledge on epilepsy is that it usually occurs in your childhood or after the age of 65.
There are Non–medication based treatments include maximizing patients' opportunities for social interaction and participating in activities such as walking, singing, dancing that they can still enjoy. Cognitive rehabilitation, where by a patient practices on a computer program for training memory, may or may not be of benefit
Did you know that 30% of new cases every year begin in early childhood and around the time of adolescence.
Because Mrs.Clark they might choke off it and then that would make it more worse them with there all ready dealing with.
The Treatment of psychiatric symptoms Symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include agitation, depression, hallucinations, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
The Standard psychiatric drugs are widely used to treat these symptoms although none of these drugs have been specifically approved by the FDA for treating these symptoms in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Mrs. Clark did you know that some people never grow out of Epilepsy?
Some people think that epilepsy is contagious but it is not.
Studies are conflicting about the usefulness of these differen, and ziprasidone that have advantages over the older antipsychotic agents because of their fewer and less severe side effects and the patients' ability to tolerate them.
I did not know that about Dementia. That is a permanent brain disorder. Its a congnitive functions memory, personality, executive.
Did you know Epilepsy in which the seizures begin from both sides of the brain at the same time is called primary generalized epilepsy?
What are seizures?
Seizures are clusters of nerve cells in the brain that send wrong signals to the body.
you could view OURALZHEIMERS.COM to see 10 warning signs about alzheimer's
Well Ebony, a seizure is a sudden, excessive discharge of nervous-system electrical activity that usually causes a change in behavior.
Why do nerve cells send the wrong signal to the brain?
Whoevelops Alzheimer's disease? main risk factor for Alzheimer's disease is increased age. As a population ages, the frequency of Alzheimer's disease continues to increase. Ten percent of people over 65 years of age and 50% of those over 85 years of age have Alzheimer's disease. Unless new treatments are developed to decrease the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease, the number of individuals with Alzheimer's disease in the United States is expected to be 14 million by the year 2050.
Epilepsy is seziures.
I did not know that, Tiuyana. I have had about five seizures in my life. However, I've never been diagnosed with Epilepsy. My doctors over the years are aware of them. Four of them occurred when I was a teenager. This is a time of rapid growth in the body. These seizures occurred after I stood up and hadn't eaten or drank anything for a while. The third one happened in a similar situation, but I had taken some medication on an empty stomach. The fourth time was when I was in the hospital and had sustained a significant blood loss before an emergency surgery. What do you think that all of these had in common??? Could it have something to do with electrolyte balance?
Ebony you know what seziures are!! When people fall on the grown an shake sometimes fom come out there mouth and everything!!DUH!!!!
although there is no treatment for this disease you could take various medications for it like: ARICEPT,COGNEX,and REMINYL
more than 5 million Americans have alzheimer's disease
I think the nerves cells send the wrong signal to the brain because a seizure is taking place. What do you think Patrise?
Did you know some of the preventions of dementia are reducing cholesterol level.
Dementia has a number of causes. Vascular reasons (such as a stroke or hypertension, accounting for 9-15% of dementias); Substance abuse persisting dementias (accounting for 7-9% of dementias, with alcohol the major cause of most of these; and General medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease, Huntington disease, and other neurological illnesses (accounting for 20-30%).
At what age can you get Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's can occur at the age of 65.
Their is a drug that can stop some side affects of Alzheimer's but not all of them,but their are more drugs in development.
Epilepsy is a disorder where someone
may have strange sensations and behave strangely.
97How can Dementia sometimes interact with your daily activities and what is the cause of Alzheimers?
I know remember this old lady that once was my neighbor and she had alzheimers. She used to think Fridays was Sundays and she used to ask me a question and then start talking about something else and then ask me the same question question. It use to make me mad sometimes until my mama told me what was wrong with her.
Maintaining a healthy weight, exercisng and controlling high blood pressure may prevent Alzheimers.
