Dementia is a broad term which describes symptoms affecting memory, thinking ability that creates hindrance in performing daily activities. Two important brain functions are badly hit namely- memory and judgement.
Most often, AD is diagnosed in people over the age of 65, but early-onset Alzheimer’s can occur much earlier. There are four stages of Alzheimer’s Disease.

The world’s population is ageing rapidly, and with it is coming to a significant increase in the number of
older people with dementia. This increase presents major challenges for the provision of healthcare
generally and for dementia care in particular, for as more people have dementia, there will be more
people exhibiting behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD).
BPSD exact a high price from both the patient and the caregiver in terms of the distress and disability
they cause if left untreated. BPSD is recognisable, understandable and treatable. The recognition and
appropriate management of BPSD are important factors in improving our care of dementia patients
and their caregivers,
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disorder that causes brain cells to waste away (degenerate) and die. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia.

Dementia consists of verity of symptoms that suggest chronic dysfunction. Global impairment of intellect is the essential feature, manifested as difficulty with memory, attention, thinking, and comprehension
Approximately 15% of people with dementia have reversible illness if treatment is initiated before irreversible damage takes place.
This presentation discusses the emotional, physical and social impact of dementia on the elderly and describes how a carer can look after a person with dementia.
This presentation defines ethics and the five approaches to ethical standards. These can then be used to guide the conduct of carers in the course of their duties.

COVID-19 PCR tests remain a critical component of safe and responsible travel in 2024. They ensure compliance with international travel regulations, help detect and control the spread of new variants, protect vulnerable populations, and provide peace of mind. As we continue to navigate the complexities of global travel during the pandemic, PCR testing stands as a key measure to keep everyone safe and healthy. Whether you are planning a business trip, a family vacation, or an international adventure, incorporating PCR testing into your travel plans is a prudent and necessary step.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
For those battling kidney disease and exploring treatment options, understanding when to consider a kidney transplant is crucial. This guide aims to provide valuable insights into the circumstances under which a kidney transplant at the renowned Hiranandani Hospital may be the most appropriate course of action. By addressing the key indicators and factors involved, we hope to empower patients and their families to make informed decisions about their kidney care journey.
2. Dementia
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines
Dementia as:
A syndrome due to a disease of the brain, usually of
chronic or progressive nature, in which there is a
disturbance of multiple cortical functions, calculations,
learning capacity, language and judgment.
Impairment of cognitive function is commonly
accompanied and occasionally preceded by
deterioration in emotional control, social behavior or
motivation. This syndrome occurs in Alzheimer’s
disease, in cerebrovascular disease and in other
conditions primarily or secondarily affecting the brain.
4. Alzheimer’s Disease
• Caused by:
– Abnormal material in brain cells called
neurofibrillary tangles and abnormal
substances outside cells called amyloid
plaques.
– Brain cells shrink and brain tissue is
destroyed, and connections are lost.
6. • Wandering is a major behaviour in
patients with AD, more so than in
patients with other types of
dementia.
• Agitation, restlessness, and sleep
disturbances all lead to wandering,
particularly at night, increasing the
risk of injury to the patient and
others.
Alzheimer’s Disease
7. • Wandering is generally one of two types:
1. Goal-directed, in which the patient attempts to reach an impossible
goal such as going home or going to the store, and
2. Non-goal-directed, in which the patient wanders aimlessly.
• Wandering patterns include:
o Moving to a specific location
o Lapping or circling alone a path or track
o Pacing back and forth
o Wandering at random
Alzheimer’s Disease
8. AD - Stage 1
Symptoms of early Alzheimer’s disease can
include:
• memory loss (mainly recent)
• language problems (finding right word)
• problems with confusion, forgetfulness, poor
judgment and mood changes
9. AD - Stage 2
Moderate Alzheimer’s disease symptoms
include:
• worsening of problems from stage 1
• increased memory loss and speech problems
• problems recognizing the familiar and
learning new tasks
• inappropriate social and sexual behaviours
• personality changes, behaviours of concern
10. AD - Stage 3
Severe Alzheimer’s disease – all problems
of stages 1 and 2 become worse, plus:
• hallucinations and delusions
• total incontinence
• the capacity to undertake activities of daily
living will be lost
• eventually, death
