Dopamine imbalance is linked to the cause of Lewy body dementia, as reduced dopamine levels contribute to the development of motor symptoms like stiffness and slow movement. In Lewy body dementia, abnormal protein deposits affect dopamine-producing cells in the brain, leading to cognitive and motor impairments typically seen in the condition.
Half of the genetic information that body cells have is contained in the gametes (sperm and egg cells). These cells are produced through a process called meiosis, which reduces the chromosome number by half to ensure that when fertilization occurs, the resulting zygote has the full set of chromosomes. This genetic information is crucial for inheritance and contributes to the genetic diversity of offspring.
Dementia primarily affects the nervous system, particularly the brain, leading to cognitive decline, memory loss, and changes in behavior. It also impacts the endocrine system, as hormonal regulation can be disrupted due to the brain's impaired function, which may influence mood and energy levels. Additionally, the cardiovascular system can be affected, as conditions like vascular dementia are linked to blood flow issues in the brain.
A body cell contains more genetic information than a gamete. Body cells are diploid, meaning they have two sets of chromosomes (one from each parent), totaling 46 chromosomes in humans. In contrast, gametes (sperm and egg cells) are haploid, containing only one set of chromosomes, which amounts to 23 in humans. Thus, body cells have double the genetic information compared to gametes.
If you are refering to Hypertrichosis, when the body grows abnormally large amounts of hair, then yes. "Werewolf Syndrome" Is genetic and is thought to be caused by a mutation in one of the chromosomes.
Yes, absolutley! My father has lewy body dementia and parkinson's disease and it has helped him tremendously!
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.

The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's type dementia, there are other types such as Lewy Body and Vascular

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
Lewy body disease, also known as dementia with Lewy bodies, is a type of dementia that shares similarities with both Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. It is characterized by the presence of abnormal protein deposits in the brain called Lewy bodies, which can lead to cognitive decline, movement problems, and other symptoms such as hallucinations and sleep disturbances. Early diagnosis and appropriate management are important in treating this progressive neurodegenerative disease.
Parkinson's Disease with Dementia and Lewy Body Disease both combine Alzheimer's and Parkinson's symptoms.
The three main irreversible causes are Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and multi-infarct dementia (also called vascular dementia).
lewy is different parts of the brain which may have been affected. ie... the memory part, or speech part or co-ordination part, sum times only parts of the brain is affected in dementia,not all but sadly in many cases it is all of the brain
