Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. The main risk factor is increasing age, and symptoms usually appear after age 65. Alzheimer's damages and kills brain cells, leading to the shrinkage of the brain. This causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior severe enough to affect work and daily living. The three main changes in the brain of those with Alzheimer's are loss of connections between neurons, the buildup of amyloid plaques, and tangles within neurons made of the tau protein. There is no cure for Alzheimer's, and treatment seeks to temporarily slow the worsening of symptoms.

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. The main risk factor is increasing age, and symptoms usually appear after age 65. Alzheimer's causes brain cells to degenerate and die, leading to impaired memory, thinking, and behavior. There is no cure for Alzheimer's, but medications and care strategies can temporarily slow the worsening of symptoms. Researchers are working to better understand the causes and develop more effective treatments.Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that destroys memory and cognitive skills. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. The disease is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain that lead to loss of connections between neurons. This results in memory loss, problems with thinking and reasoning, and behavioral issues. A diagnosis involves medical exams, cognitive tests, and brain imaging to rule out other potential causes. While there is no cure, current treatments can temporarily slow the worsening of symptoms.AlzheimersDisease-deepansha ppt.ppt

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults. The main risk factor is age, with most cases occurring in people over 65 years of age. Pathologically, it is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain that lead to the loss of connections between neurons and ultimately the death of neurons. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's, and available treatments can only temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms. Researchers are studying new therapies targeting the underlying causes and progression of the disease.Major neuropathological conditions

This document summarizes several major neuropathological conditions:
- Brain tumors can be benign or cancerous and cause symptoms depending on the affected brain lobe. Treatment involves surgery, radiotherapy, and sometimes chemotherapy.
- Parkinson's disease results from cell death in the substantia nigra and involves motor and psychiatric symptoms. Treatment begins with L-DOPA but other therapies may be needed as the disease progresses.
- Seizures are generalized or partial and have several subtypes. They result from imbalances in brain cell excitation and inhibition.
- Alzheimer's disease causes progressive brain cell death and shrinkage. It involves memory loss and other cognitive declines. Risk increases with age and plaques and tanglesNeuropsychiatric disorders

Neuropsychiatric disorders involve complex relationships between brain function and human behavior. They include anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, progeria, and ischemia. Causes range from genetic mutations to brain damage to environmental toxins. Symptoms and treatments vary depending on the specific disorder. Neuropsychiatry aims to understand abnormal behaviors through both neurological and psychosocial factors.alzheimersdisease-131223005434-phpapp01.pdf

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that destroys memory and thinking skills. It was first described by Alois Alzheimer in 1906 after examining brain tissue from a deceased patient. The causes are not fully known but include genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, and problems with language and judgment. Diagnosis involves medical exams and brain scans. Currently, there is no cure, but medications and caregiving can temporarily improve symptoms. The prognosis is a gradual decline in functioning over several years leading to an inability to care for oneself.NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDERS

- Alzheimer's disease is an incurable, degenerative brain disease characterized by memory loss and cognitive decline. It was first described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer.
- The disease results from an accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain that leads to nerve cell death and formation of plaques and tangles.
- Symptoms start with mild memory loss but progress to include problems with thinking, reasoning, language and perception as brain regions are damaged.

Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible progressive brain disorder that causes brain cells to degenerate and die. It is the most common cause of dementia, which is a continuous decline in thinking, behavioral, and social skills that disrupts independent functioning. The disease is named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer, who first identified characteristic brain changes of abnormal clumps and tangled bundles of fibers in a woman who had died of an unusual mental illness. Alzheimer's progresses through mild, moderate, and severe stages, and causes memory loss, mood changes, difficulty communicating, and other cognitive declines. While the exact causes are unknown, age and genetics are major risk factors. Current treatments cannot cure the disease but aim to slow symptoms and maintain quality

The document summarizes key aspects of neurocognitive disorders as outlined in Chapter 7. It describes three main groups - delirium, major or minor neurocognitive disorders (dementia), and amnestic disorders. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can have various causes and usually resolves quickly if the underlying cause is treated. Dementia involves a gradual loss of cognitive abilities that impairs daily life; it has various causes like Alzheimer's disease or vascular issues. Assessment and management aim to address any underlying causes or provide support, as the condition is often not reversible. Lesson 4 dementia and alzheimer's disease 2015

Malaria is a life-threatening disease. Its typically transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito. Infected mosquitoes carry the Plasmodium parasite. When this mosquito bites you, the parasite is released into your blood stream.
Phylum : Protozoa
Subphylum : Apicomplexa (Sporozoa)
Class : Telosporea
Genus : Plasmodium
Species : vivax
Plasmodium is one of the most harmful parasites of man.
It is a digenetic, intracellular parasite that lives in the liver cells and RBC of man. (It is extracellular in mosquito).
Its primary host is the female Anopheles mosquito and the secondary host is man. Reservoir host is monkey.
The infective stage is sickle shaped sporozoite and the mode of infection is inoculation.
Four species of Plasmodium cause four types of malaria in man.
They are
i) Plasmodium vivax benign tertian malaria
ii) Plasmodium falciparum malignant tertian malaria
iii) Plasmodium ovale mild tertian malaria
iv) Plasmodium malariae quartan malaria
Of all these four species, Plasmodium vivax is the most common and most widely distributed malaria parasite.
OBJECTIVES AND USE OF ANTIMALARIAL DRUGS
The aims of using drugs in relation to malarial infection are:
(i) To prevent clinical attack of malaria (prophylactic).
(ii) To treat clinical attack of malaria (clinical curative).
(iii) To completely eradicate the parasite from the patients body (radical curative).
(iv) To cutdown human-to-mosquito transmission (gametocidal).
These are achieved by attacking the parasite at its various stages of life cycle in the human host .
Antimalarials that act on erythrocytic schizogony are called erythrocytic schizontocides
Antimalarials that act on pre erythrocytic as well as exoerythrocytic (P. vivax) stages in liver are called tissue schizontocides,
Antimalarials which kill gametocytes in blood are called gametocides.

- 4. Clinical Features Loss of short-term memory and ability to create memories Concentration on past Loss of time Communication diminishes Personality changes Delusions Become immobilized and uncomprehending Death due to respiratory failure 65 and up disease lasts 8-20 years 65 and down disease lasts 5-10 years disease more rapid
- 5. Histological Analysis 3 distinctive neuropathological features 1. Devastating losses of synapses and neurons within hippocampus and entorhinal cortex. 2. Dense spherical structures, called senile plaques (SP), prevalent outside the neurons of the hippocampus and other regions of the brain. 3. Aggregations of fibrils (Neurofibrillary tangles, NFT) accumulate within cell bodies and dendritic processes of the neurons of the hippocampus, neurocortex, entorhinal cortex, and other brain parts.
- 6. Pictures of Brain Degradation
- 8. Senile Plaques Densely packed fibrous structures called amyloid bodies. Consists of mainly protein, 4-kDa peptide. Many isoforms make up the amyloid proteins. Amyloid precursor protein another source of which can lead to AD. Functional role unknown.
- 9. Neurofibrillary Tangles Consist of helical filaments called PHF. Intertwined protein strands made of tau protein molecules. Formation of NFTs not unique to AD. Found in many other neurodegenerative disorders with dementias, affecting the brain. Scientists believe that the amyloid proteins lead to the formation of the neurofibrillary tangles, and both can lead to AD symptoms.
- 10. Diagnosis Only definitive way is to use brain scans (CT) to see plaques or tangles in brain tissue. Tests used to exclude other diseases.
