There is no evidence that Post Polis Syndrome can cause dementia, but PPS sufferers' can develop dementia which is non-related to PPS, such as Alzheimers' Disease.

Well, most senior dogs suffer from some form of CDS: Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome, sometimes known as Old Dog Syndrome. It can cause some severe behavioral changes in your dog, such as frequent toilet incidents (weeing and pooping in the house), failing to come to you when called, not recognising it's name or you, sleeping alot more or alot less, and walking listlessly around the house without a destination goal. CDS mostly affects dogs 8 years old or over, and is very common among dogs.

Yes, it has been recently discovered that cats suffer forms of dementia very similar to those observed in humans, so doctors are studying them to help us. I hav an 18-year old cat and she is definetely senile!

theyre brain is unable to thnk. Like theyre brain has shrunk

About half the people with Parkinson's Disease end up with dementia. It is thought that Parkinson's Disease alone does not cause dementia, but other age related factors in addition to Parkinson's Disease may increase the chance of dementia developing.

While Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia, there are also many other forms, including vascular and mixed dementia. Causes of dementia are mainly produced by inflammation, disease or injury. On such events neurons may die and dementia is the result. Now, scientists believe that a combination of hereditary, environmental, lifestyle are mostly at work. The more neurons die, more intense will be the symptoms of dementia. This disease is currently being researched allover the world, and may be that within the next 10 years it will be conducted to a satisfactory solution.

There are a few early signs of dementia. One is memory loss that occurs daily, this could be something as simple as putting the milk in the pantry instead of the refrigerator. Another confusion with time or place.

I'm just doing this question right now ha!

I'm going to put...

Mealtime cultures such as having strict meal times and meal sizes, certain number of courses and in certain orders such as starter, main, dessert etc may not adhere to the needs of a person with dementia. Their tastes may have changed and may not wish to eat the meals set out for them in a particular 'traditional order'. They may not wish to eat at the same time as everybody else or may wish to eat small amounts more often. By trying to stick to normal meal time cultures, this can be a barrier to the nutritional needs of the individual. The care they recieve should be person centred and to fit in with what the individual needs, this should also be true with the meals the person recieves.

Environmental factors such as being around lots of other diners, loud noises, music or bustling restaurants etc are not ideal for a dementia patient as they can become easily distacted and overwhelmed by too much information being processed at once. This can be a barrier to them being able to focus on their food.

Aromatherapy is used for a lot more than dementia and so not restricted.

Aromatherapy is effective in treating Alzheimer's disease because the phenolic compounds in several essential oils (such as bay laurel, clove, basil, and thyme) directly reach the part of the brain most damaged by the disease (the hippocampus), scavenge the toxin responsible for the disease (peroxynitrites), and repair part of the damage caused by peroxynitrites. Peroxynitrites are implicated in many other forms of dementia and other neurodegenerative diseases (including ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease), in some types of strokes, and in a number of other diseases (including type 2 diabetes, some forms of heart disease, and some forms of cancer). The problem, however, is getting the phenolic compounds to the other parts of the brain or other parts of the body affected by these disease. This problem is complicated by the fact that the phenolic compounds contained in various essential oil can cause liver and kidney damage when ingested.

Aromatherapy may improve alertness in healthy individuals and may delay the onset of dementia, but more evidence is needed before firm conclusions can be reached in this regard.

AIDS dementia is a disease that destorys the white matter of the brain

It woudl have to be proven in a court of law that the person actually WAS suffering from dementia. If possible, then the agreement MIGHT be challenged.

There needs to be a proper and fair balance between the rights and needs of the individual and the authority of the carer. This balance will depend on the situation in particular.

The ribbon that supports people with Alzheimers is purple.

There are more than 342800 Australians living with dementia This number is expected to increase as the aged population increases.

There are aphasias which can be temporary. Lesions to the posterior cingulate cortex appear to reproduce AD like memory deficits.

Everything else that a regular person without this disease also needs (like food, water, shelter, clothes, and comfort) which includes:

- health services

- other people to help person around

- protection
