Dementia Positive
This book is not about the past, which has gone. Or the future, which is uncertain. But it is for those who want to improve the lives of people with dementia and themselves in the Here and Now.The book is not written by an expert but by a man seeking to find new approaches concerning dementia who wishes to share his discoveries. Killick steers clear of any sort of medical terminology and instead nurtures the often neglected aspects of dementia, thereby reinforcing to the reader that these are of no lesser importance. In recognition that we are all in this together, Killick gives equal prominence to quotations from, and conversations with, people with dementia and their carers.

Do dementia patients know that they have dementia?
It varies among dementia patients. In the early stages of dementia, some patients may be aware of their condition and notice changes in their memory and cognitive abilities. However, as the disease progresses, many patients may become unaware of their diagnosis due to memory loss and cognitive decline. In some cases, individuals with dementia may have moments of clarity where they understand their condition, but this awareness is often fleeting. Ultimately, the level of insight into their dementia diagnosis can vary depending on the individual and the stage of their disease.

Do people with dementia know that they have dementia?
People with dementia may have varying levels of awareness about their condition. In the early stages, some individuals may have insight into their cognitive decline and recognize that they have dementia. However, as the disease progresses, this awareness may diminish, and they may become less able to understand or acknowledge their condition. It is important for caregivers and healthcare providers to provide support and understanding to individuals with dementia, regardless of their level of awareness.

Can dementia be stopped?

This can be done through a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and cognitive stimulation. It is important to seek early diagnosis and treatment to help manage the symptoms and improve the quality of life for individuals with dementia.

Can headers cause dementia?
There is no direct evidence to suggest that headers in soccer can directly cause dementia. However, repeated head impacts, including headers, have been linked to an increased risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) which can have symptoms similar to dementia. More research is needed to fully understand the long-term effects of headers on brain health and to develop strategies to minimize potential risks.

Dementia (Memory Loss)
Dementia (memory loss) or loss of cognitive skills has become a major health concern for older individuals. In 2021, 6.2 million Americans aged 65 years and above were living with dementia, and the numbers are said to only increase in the future. Since the current preventive recommendations have failed to have any significant impact on reducing the incidence of dementia, 'Dementia (Memory Loss) - How to Prevent and Improve Treatment' By Kedar N. Prasad will allow doctors and researchers to collect more data for in-depth research on how the treatment of dementia can be improved and made more impactful.The book is educational, well-researched, and eye-opening for patients with dementia and for doctors to learn how to improve the patient's memories. It focuses on the early damages caused by this disease and how a comprehensive mixture of micronutrients can also reduce the progression and prevent and improve memory loss, and paves the way for further research to develop improved treatments for dementia. It has the potential to work as a guide for scientists and researchers on how to make the treatment for this disease bearable and positive.

Saved from Dementia
This book demonstrates the healing proofs and evidence by the grace of God, followed by the authors attendance at the eleventh Church of Christ, Scientist, London, UK, since the authors early admission into Sunday school as a teenager. The point of departure occurs in the authors more senior years, as he was forced into declaring his mental vulnerability surrounding his adolescent issues of drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness, and rehousing, along with his self-employment status.All of this had been the authors struggle while going into his spiritual awakening in his youth that hitherto does represent the authors more coherent and practical discovery of a more clear view and understanding of the teachings and practices of Christ Jesus and holy scriptures as founded by Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science.Christian Science is commonly known in the last chapter of the Holy Bible (the King James Version), in Revelations, as the vision of St.John the Divine and the reappearance of the Holy Ghost, the divine comforter, namely divine science.

Ageing and Dementia
Ageing and dementia are closely related conditions.Increasing age of the general population causes increasing incidence of dementing disorders in later life, although cognitive impairment is not necessarily a consequence of advancing age.The book presents the papers of the International Symposium on Ageing and Dementia, October 17–19, 1997 in Graz, where internationally renowned experts in the field of ageing and dementia gave an overview of the current knowledge about the epidemiology, pathomorphology, clinical diagnosis and course of brain ageing processes and related dementing disorders, biochemical markers and imaging procedures for the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease and current approaches to a successful treatment of dementia. "... this book will be of interest to clinicians with previous experience of clinical dementia assessements, and to researchers who want a comprehensive update on research areas of dementia with which they are less familiar.It will also be of interest to those following the development of neurotrophe factors for treatment of dementia who need an extensive introduction to the preclinical studies of Cerebrolysin®.The book will be fairly useful as a textbook for clinicians who are learning about clinical dementia assessments for the first time.” Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica

Design for Dementia : Living Well at Home
Design for Dementia is written by an interdisciplinary team of professionals and academics whose aim is to present lessons learnt from the Dementia Demonstration House at the Building Research Establishment’s Innovation Park.Known as Chris and Sally’s House, the project represents a unique opportunity to show in practice what can be done to assist people living with dementia to continue to live at home and as part of the community with as much independence as possible.This book presents evidence based practical design guidance backed up by over 15 combined years of research by experienced professional designers. Beginning with an introduction which provides the background to the global dementia epidemic to allow readers to gain a better understanding of the issues they must consider, the book then discusses how good design principles, planning and construction standards can be used to effectively respond to the dementia crisis.The detailed findings from research using Chris and Sally’s House are presented and discussed, along with practical examples and success stories ranging from simple design features to the more complex use of sensors and automated ventilation. The hope is that readers can apply the lessons learnt from Chris and Sally’s House to successfully integrate solutions into the design of new or refurbished housing for the elderly and also that the tools and insights shared will inform the wider context of good housing design, as well as the spectrum of constraints and design standards which often apply.This book is important reading for architects, designers, engineers and project managers, but also anyone with an interest in learning about practical solutions to aid those with dementia to live well at home.
