Lewy Disease is a type of dementia (similar to Alzheimer's) and it has characterics of Parkinson's disease. It causes a type of mental decline.
The life expectancy for individuals with Lewy body disease varies, but it is generally shorter compared to the overall population. On average, people with Lewy body disease live between 5 to 8 years after the onset of symptoms. However, some individuals may live longer or shorter depending on the progression of the disease and other health factors.
In Parkinson's disease, the substantia nigra region of the brain deteriorates, leading to a decrease in dopamine production. This reduction in dopamine can cause problems with movement and coordination, resulting in symptoms like tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia. Additionally, Lewy bodies, abnormal protein clumps, can accumulate in certain brain cells, contributing to the progression of the disease.
when you get a disease you are said to be INFECTED by it .

There are 2 syllables in the word disease. dis.ease I hope I helped. Have a great day!!
Lewy body disease is type of disease that leads to a decline in thinking, reasoning or independent function. Alzheimer is the disease that one has before one gets lewy body disease.

For more information about the Lewy Body Disease a doctor can be consulted or the internet could be used. But the safe bet is to ask your local doctor.
It's pronounced LEWY and go onto: www.google.com TYPE IN: What is Lewy disease? You'll get all sorts of information.
The condition was first described by Frederick Lewy in 1941 when he described Lewy bodies, which are abnormal inclusions in the cytoplasm (components of a cell outside the nucleus) of cells found in patients who had Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's Disease with Dementia and Lewy Body Disease both combine Alzheimer's and Parkinson's symptoms.
Yes, absolutley! My father has lewy body dementia and parkinson's disease and it has helped him tremendously!
Marshall Lewy's birth name is Marshall Ian Lewy.
Lewy body dementia (LBD) is not a single disorder but a spectrum of disorders involving disturbances of movement, cognition, behavior, sleep and autonomic function.When diagnosing Lewy body dementias, please use the following ICD-9 code combinations:* dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB)331.82 - "Dementia with Lewy bodies"294.1x - "Dementia" with the 'x' determined by presence ("1") or absence ("0") of behavioral disturbance.(NOTE: Not all insurance carriers process 294.1x codes the same way. Confer with a billing expert before using this code.)* Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD)331.82 - "DLB, parkinsonism with dementia, Lewy body dementia, Lewy body disease"332.0 - "Parkinson's disease"294.1x - "Dementia" with the 'x' determined by presence ("1") or absence ("0") of behavioral disturbance.(NOTE: Not all insurance carriers process 294.1x codes the same way. Confer with a billing expert before using this code.)More at Link
The disease that combines symptoms of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases is called Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). DLB is characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits in the brain called Lewy bodies, which lead to cognitive decline, memory loss, and movement problems similar to those seen in Parkinson's disease. Patients with DLB may also experience hallucinations, fluctuations in attention and alertness, and sleep disturbances. Early and accurate diagnosis of DLB is crucial for appropriate management and treatment.
Guenter Lewy was born in 1923.
Casimir Lewy died in 1991.
