Shyamali Mistri, a 30-year-old woman from West Bengal, India, suffered severe mental illness after being physically abused by her husband. She was abandoned and chained by her family due to her illness. The Society for Integrated Development & Social Action (SIDSA) identified Shyamali and freed her from her chains, providing treatment and support. After six months of care, Shyamali was able to return home and participate in community activities with continued medical support. She now lives independently with her children and hopes to join a self-help group for further support.
Leslie Diening and Karen Meredith Blott both have children with Down syndrome and felt overwhelmed by the lack of support services. They were connected by an NICU doctor and formed a close friendship working to support families of children with Down syndrome. Both mothers had busy careers and multiple children to care for when their youngest were born with Down syndrome. Together they founded Circle 21 to advocate for better coordinated care and support services for children with Down syndrome and their families.
A healthy lifestyle involves eating nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables, regular exercise through aerobic activity that is good for the heart and body, and properly managing stress. Other components include alternative therapies, sufficient sleep, a positive outlook, and a balanced life, as an unhealthy state of mind can prevent a healthy lifestyle.
This document discusses the importance of eating a balanced diet for health. It notes that an unhealthy diet can increase the risk of obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The document provides guidelines for building healthy meals and references resources on balanced diets and weight loss from organizations like the World Health Organization and Mayo Clinic.

1. Alzheimer's disease is caused by mutations in certain genes like APP, PSEN1, and PSEN2 that can be inherited and affect the production of proteins involved in brain cell function and communication between different body parts.
2. The disease results in changes to memory, language, behavior, and other cognitive abilities as nerve cells in the brain are damaged and communication is disrupted.
3. Major risk factors include increasing age, family history of the disease, and genetic factors like the APOE gene, though lifestyle choices may also play a role in risk.

Newly Diagnosed Dementia Family Support Seminar Amanda Kanners
The document provides information to help families cope with a loved one's diagnosis of Alzheimer's or another form of dementia. It discusses the types and stages of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, mixed dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and frontotemporal dementia. It offers tips for having difficult conversations about the diagnosis, dealing with behaviors like saying "no", managing delusions and wandering, and providing support in the later stages of dementia. The goal is to help caregivers understand dementia and provide the best possible care.
The document discusses mental illness, providing statistics on prevalence rates in Australia and discussing common conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and anxiety disorders. It describes symptoms people with mental illnesses may experience and things to keep in mind when interacting with them, such as respecting their dignity and not arguing with delusions. The document also introduces Arafmi, an organization that provides various supports for families of those with mental illness, including a 24/7 support line, support groups, education, respite programs and counseling.
The document discusses Alzheimer's disease, including what it is, symptoms, causes, risk factors, and ways to communicate with those who have Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior and symptoms gradually worsen over time. Risk factors include age, family history, genetics, gender, head trauma, and lifestyle. The document provides tips for effectively communicating with those who have Alzheimer's such as speaking slowly, repeating information, and focusing on feelings rather than facts.
Caregiver stress can manifest physically, emotionally, and psychologically and put caregivers at risk for poor health outcomes and early mortality. Screening tools like the Zarit Burden Interview can help physicians identify caregivers experiencing high levels of stress. Interventions may include reducing caregiving demands through respite services, counseling, or institutionalizing the care recipient in extreme cases. It is important to evaluate the health status and needs of both the caregiver and care recipient as a unit.
The document provides information about Alzheimer's disease including what it is, its stages, risk factors, symptoms, treatment options, and resources for coping and prevention. It describes Alzheimer's as a progressive brain disease that causes memory loss and problems with thinking. The stages of the disease are described from very mild to severe. Risk factors include age, family history, and medical conditions. The document outlines diagnostic processes and treatments that can help slow symptoms but currently there is no cure. Resources for coping and prevention strategies are also discussed.
1) Alzheimer's disease is a brain disease that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior and is the most common cause of dementia.
2) The document discusses the history and progression of Alzheimer's as well as risk factors, symptoms, current treatments, and personal stories about how the disease affects individuals and their families.
3) The search for a cure is ongoing through continued research, but so far a cure has remained elusive.
This document summarizes a town hall forum on maintaining brain health and preventing dementia as we age. Experts Dr. Daniel Sewell and Dr. Neil Levine discussed the differences between normal aging effects on memory and full-blown dementia. The most common forms of dementia - Alzheimer's disease, frontal temporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, and vascular dementia - were outlined. The presentation emphasized the importance of families understanding the type of dementia a loved one has to best care for them. Tips for maintaining brain health included regular exercise, socializing with positive people, making home environments senior-friendly, controlling blood pressure, eating nutritious whole foods, getting vitamin D from sunlight, and seeking more information from organizations like The George G.
This document provides information about an organization called We Rage We Weep Alzheimer Foundation and the programs and services it supports. The foundation is an independent Canadian charity established in 2006 to support caregivers of those with Alzheimer's or dementia. It funds programs that make a difference in caregivers' lives and complement existing assistance. The foundation's goal is to ease the burden of caregiving. It supports programs like Project Lifesaver for wander detection, Arts & Alzheimer's for engaging seniors through art, and Friendship Connection for companionship visits.
The document discusses Alzheimer's disease including its causes, symptoms, stages, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention strategies. Some key points are:
- Alzheimer's is caused by death of neurons and the buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
- Symptoms include memory loss, problems with language, disorientation, and changes in mood/behavior. The disease progresses through mild, moderate and severe stages.
- Diagnosis involves ruling out other conditions and may include cognitive tests and brain imaging. Currently there is no cure but medications can temporarily improve symptoms. Maintaining brain and body health may help prevent Alzheimer's.
There are thousands of people in the UK caring for someone with Dementia in their own homes. This Dementia home care guide has been put together by Helping Hands to help family carers understand Dementia, and help their love ones live fulfilled lives.
This document provides an overview of Alzheimer's disease, including its symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and research efforts. It discusses how Alzheimer's is becoming more prevalent as the population ages. While the exact causes are still unknown, research is focused on plaques and tangles in the brain as well as genetic risk factors. Diagnosis considers memory impairment, cognitive tests, and brain scans. The document outlines ongoing research into potential treatments and prevention strategies. It emphasizes that Alzheimer's is a growing public health concern that will require continued scientific progress and public awareness.
This document provides information about dementia and Alzheimer's disease, including common symptoms, treatments, and tips for distinguishing normal aging from disease. Dementia is an umbrella term for cognitive decline, and symptoms may include memory loss, changes in mood and behavior, and difficulties with tasks. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia. It involves progressive brain cell failure and symptoms like memory loss that affects daily life. While dementia cannot be cured, treatments can help manage symptoms. Getting an accurate diagnosis is important to provide optimal care. A support system is also key for coping after a diagnosis.
How can you tell if forgetfulness is the result of normal age-related memory changes or if it's the result of something more? This is a very important distinction to make, and the earlier the better.
This document provides information about dementia to help general practitioners increase their understanding and ability to support patients and families affected by dementia. It defines different types of dementia, describes common symptoms, discusses the impact on brain regions, and provides case studies and models to illustrate experiences. It also offers guidance on communication strategies, visual issues patients may experience, and resources to help practices become more dementia-friendly.
This document provides an overview of Alzheimer's disease including its stages, types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis process, treatment, care, and management. Alzheimer's is a progressive brain disorder that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It begins with a preclinical stage with no symptoms and progresses to mild, moderate, and severe stages. The greatest risk factor is age and it can be caused by genetic or environmental factors that damage brain tissue. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, and changes in mood and personality. Doctors use tests of mental status, brain imaging, and neurological exams to diagnose Alzheimer's. Currently, there is no cure, but medications and care programs can help manage symptoms. Proper care, daily routines, exercise,
Alzheimer s disease_powerpoint_skinner_kassandraCMoondog
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and debilitating disease that robs those affected of their abilities to communicate, think clearly, function independently, and remember friends and family. It is caused by plaques and tangles forming in the brain that damage and kill neurons. There is no known cure, but some treatments can help slow progression. Prevention through lifestyle factors like exercise, diet, and mental stimulation may reduce risk. Alzheimer's places a large emotional and financial burden on patients and their families.
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, typically beginning with memory loss and deteriorating over time. It involves the deposition of beta amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain, leading to the loss of connections between neurons. Risk factors include increasing age and family history, while potential causes relate to reduced acetylcholine levels, oxidative stress, and genetic mutations.
This document discusses caregiving for those with Alzheimer's disease. It provides information on the stages of Alzheimer's and what caregivers can expect at each stage, from early to late stages. It also discusses the toll caregiving can take and provides tips for managing caregiver stress, such as finding support groups, making self-care a priority through exercise, rest, and hobbies, and using relaxation techniques. The campaign Take 1 Moment is highlighted, which aims to recognize and support Alzheimer's caregivers. Facts are given on the increasing prevalence of Alzheimer's and the large economic and time contribution of unpaid family caregiving.
NAVIGATING THE HORIZONS OF TIME LAPSE EMBRYO MONITORING.pdfRahul Sen
Time-lapse embryo monitoring is an advanced imaging technique used in IVF to continuously observe embryo development. It captures high-resolution images at regular intervals, allowing embryologists to select the most viable embryos for transfer based on detailed growth patterns.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Unit 4: MRA 103T Regulatory affairs
This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Sycamore Village is an assisted living home specializing in Alzheimer’s and Dementia care. We have earned a 100% deficiency free state survey for the past five consecutive years. We were recognized by the AFA as 1 in 18 homes in the nation for Excellence in Care, a Dementia Program of Distinction. And we are at the forefront of culture change, working closely with the Pioneer Coalition and the Alzheimer’s Association.
Dementia is a broad, descriptive term like “soup”.
Auguste had developed problems with memory, had unfounded suspicions that her husband was unfaithful, and difficulty speaking and understanding what was said to her. Her symptoms grew worse fast and within a few years, she was bedridden. She died in 1906.Dr. Alzheimer did an autopsy on her brain and saw shrinkage, and abnormal deposits in and around her brain cells which we know today as plaques and tangles.
1. As many as 5.3 million Americans are living with AD today. The disease progresses over time and is fatal. It is the 7th leading cause of death in the U.S. 2. Plaques are caused deposits of protein called beta-amyloid. Tangles form inside dying cells, beginning in areas important in learning and memory and then spreading to other regions. 3. AD accounts for 50 – 80 % of dementia cases. 4. But treatment for the symptoms combined with the right services and support can make life better for those living with the disease.
Ex) Forgetting recently learned information. Forgetting important dates or events. Asking for the same info over and over. What’s typical?

Yes! There are over 80 conditions that cause dementia, and many of them are reversible. Ex) drug interactions, thyroid disease, tumors, dehydration, infections, and depression can all cause reversible dementias.
Dr. Nussbaum is a renown clinical neuropsychologist based in Pittsburgh who travels the United States lecturing on his theory – The Five Domains of the Brain Health Lifestyle.
What’s good for your heart is good for your brain. HDL (good) cholesterol may help protect brain cells so stick to a diet with healthy fats (mono- and poly- unsaturated) such as olive or vegetable oils or nuts, instead of trans-fats or partially hydrogenated oils.Eat 80% of what you intend to eat at each meal and use utensils so that you eat less.
Top Ten Brain Foods1. Any leafy green vegetable, like green leaf lettuce, kale, or broccoli are great for your brain and high in iron and nutrients.2. Fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of antioxidants. Antioxidants stop chain reactions caused by free radicals formed by oxidation that can cause cancer and other diseases. Fruits: prunes, raisins, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, raspberries, plums, oranges, red grapes and cherries. 3. Vegetables: Kale, spinach, brussel sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, broccoli, beets, red bell peppers, onions, corn and eggplant. 4. Omega – 3 is an essential fatty acid that is needed for brain development. Fish highest in omega-e is wild salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, tuna, anchovies, whitefish and sablefish. Nuts are also a great source of omega-3.5. Stay away from chocolates high in sugar – try cocoa powder or chocolate with at least 75% cocao.6. Matcha – is a high quality Japanese green tea that contains a huge amount of EGCG (Epigallocatechingallate), a potent antioxidant. 7. Acai (ah-sigh-ee’ or ah-ka’i-ee) berries – high antioxidant, contain omega -3 fatty acids, and lots of protein.8. Coffee beans – Coffee is high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and is great for your brain. It is thought to increase your mental response time. Don’t add lots of sugar and cream. It is generally agreed that up to 200 - 300 mg of caffeine per day is safe – this is equivalent to about 3 cups of coffee per day. 9. Soy products are high in protein and great for brain health.10. Whole wheat or whole grains should be listed as the number 1 or 2 ingredient, not whole wheat flour – this is often refined and molasses is added to create the brown color.
Socialization is healthy for the brain because it keeps the brain stimulated and connected thereby reducing the risk of the brain isolating, becoming too inactive, and lonely. Socialization can also decrease depression which can also hinder memory. Social activities come in all forms!
Spirituality is healthy for the brain becauseturning inward and settling down helps to reduce stress which can be detrimental to brain structure and function.
Mental Stimulation helps to stimulate the cortex of the human brain by exposure to information that is complex. Research has also shown that keeping the brain active may help to build new neural connections and cells in your brain, protecting you from mental, cognitive decline. Mental activity may help build “Brain Reserve” – development of cellular connections that may help defend against degenerative brain diseases such as AD.
Physical Activity is healthy for the brain because every time the heart beats 25% of the blood from each heartbeat goes directly to the brain, so exercising helps to maintain good blood flow to the brain and can reduce certain risk factors for AD. Exercise should be done regularly for around 30 min/day, 5 days/week. Find things you enjoy doing and think of ways you can incorporate exercise into your normal daily routine.
Healthy snacks can improve cognition. Nuts such as almonds, walnuts, Brazilnuts, hazelnuts, and pecans, and sesame seeds are all high in omega 3.
Walnuts have been found to improve mood and help decrease brain cell death.
Up to 2 glasses/week for women and 3 glasses/week for men delivers the powerful antioxidant Resveratrol, which may prevent free radicals from damaging brain cells. Drinking more than that could decrease thiamine absorption which is needed to keep the brain healthy. Drink it slowly to absorb the Resveratrol. One study has shown that Cabernet Sauvignon most helps reduce the risk of AD.
Eat pears, apples, oranges, and cantaloupe. The combination prevents elevated blood sugar that could impede brain cells from firing correctly. It also provides fiber and antioxidants that help scrub plaque from brain arteries and mop up free radicals that inhibit clear thinking.
Smelling cinnamon can boost brain functions, performance and memory.- As little as just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon per day can lower LDL cholesterol.Has a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes and can improve neurotransmission.Has an anti-clotting effect on the blood (natural blood-thinner).a recent research study presented at the annual meeting of the Association for Chemoreception Services in Sarasota, FL, found that merely smelling cinnamon or chewing cinnamon-flavored gum actually enhanced multiple areas of brain processing and function; everything from memory to visual-motor speed to recognition to attention & focus
Research shows that people who fast one day a week or month unlock a unique form of blood glucose that helps the brain more efficiently transmit information.
Join a book club – reading can reduce your risk of dementia and meeting new people can force new neural connections.
Learning a new language boosts the verbal, language, and memory parts of the brain. Learning a new instrument is also great for exercising coordination and memory parts of the brain.
Board games are associated with a lower risk of developing dementia. They activate strategic, spatial, and memory parts of the brain, and require you to socialize, which can help form new neural pathways.
Instead of popping in another movie rental, pick up the phone. Talking with someone else not only gets you out of your rut (lack of activity can decrease brain-cell formation) but the socializing can also reduce potentially memory-zapping depression.
Note changes in the person’s tone and pay attention to small facts that you might otherwise gloss over. Conjure a mental image of the story. By doing this, you will activate multiple areas in the brain and encourage new memory formations.
Sit quietly, choose a word that calms you, and when your mind starts to wander, say the word silently or picture it – this type of meditation can reduce stress hormone cortisol which zaps memory. Find ways that relax you – Take a few minutes to cool down – stress of chronic anger can shrink memory centers in the brain.
Chronic stress releases the stress hormone cortisol which can shrink your brain’s memory center. Interacting with others activates many parts of the brain and learning new ways of coping forms new neural connections.
Most of sleep’s benefits for concentration and memory happens in the first stage of sleep, so even a short 30 minute nap can benefit your brain
Treat yourself to relaxing scents like vanilla before bed. They raise the chemical dopamine and reduce cortisol, a stress hormone.
Research shows that taking courses can help prevent dementia. Check out books, seminars, and other educational events.
Walking down the street, don’t just look forward. Look right and left and all around – this stimulates the neural and spatial centers of the brain which can shrink as you age. Also using your peripheral vision regularly stimulates the neural and spatial centers of the brain, which can atrophy with age.
Play Sudoku but move on – brain teasers do not form new neural connections once you’ve mastered them. Try something that is opposite of your natural skills. Ex) if you like numbers, learn to draw.
New video games such as the Wii or Nintendo DS offer brain teasers that mat make you learn the computer’s interface as you master the brain games. So, this not only creates new neural pathways and but also can improve response time and memory.
TV may provide a lot of stimuli, but watching too much can dull brain transmission. Instead, spend an afternoon listening to your favorite music. Music can lower stress hormones that inhibit memory and increase feelings of well-being that improve focus.
It may be uncomfortable, but writing with your non-dominant hand or operating a computer mouse with that hand can activate parts of the brain that aren’t easily triggered otherwise. Anything that requires the brain to pay close attention to a formerly automatic behavior will stimulate brain cell growth.
Try to walk between 7,000 – 12,000 steps per day. A little over 2,000 steps is equal to a mile and 10,000 steps is close to 5 miles.
Even one serious concussion could increase your risk of developing dementia.
Adding a little strength training to your daily walks can help protect brain cells from damage done by free radicals – and encourage new brain cell growth. So strap some weights on your ankles or wrists as you walk, or practice gentle yoga.
Gentle bouncing of your knees and shaking out of your limbs reduces the brain sapping stress hormone cortisol, research shows. It also triggers relaxation and alertness that keeps your brain sharp. Do it for a few minutes in the morning and at night.
Always challenge your brain. Do things that you are not good at and learn new skills. Learn more new skills once you master the old. These will activate areas in your brain that aren’t otherwise as activated and help create new neural pathways. Exercise your brain like you exercise for your heart.
