DEMETIA
MEMORY IS THE RECORDING, RETENTION &RETRIEVAL OF
KNOWLEDGE
DISORDER OF MEMORY
• DEMENTIA: acquired and persistent compromise in multiple cognitive domains that is severe enough to interfere with everyday functioning
• IN ADDITION TO MEMORY IMPAIRMENT AT LEAST ONE OF FOLLOWING MUST OCCURE:
• APHASIA• AGNOSIA • DIORDER OF EXECUTIVE FUNCTION.
DEMENTIA
• COGNITIVE DEFICIT MUST BE SUFFICIENTLY SEVERE TO CAUSE IMPAIRMENT IN
• OCCUPATIONAL OR • SOCIAL ACTIVITY OF DAILY LIVING.
2-DEMENTIA
CLINICAL SYNDROME OF MEMORY DISFUNCTION
• DEMENTIA: • 1-LOSS OF MULTIPLE ACQUIRED
COGNITIVE &EMOTIONAL ABILITY SUFFICIENT TO INTERFER WITH DAILY ACTIVITY.
• 2- INCIDIOUS IN ONSET ,PROGRESSIVE• 3- AGE ASSOCIATED 1% IN 60 and doubles
every 5 years 30-50% in 85 years
HX
• Few definitive tests are available for diagnosing dementing disorders,
• so reliable historical information regarding the :
• onset,• course, and• associated features of cognitive
dysfunction is the cornerstone of differential diagnosis.
Historical Components of the Dementia Evaluation
INITIAL MANIFESTATIONS• Impaired recent memory (repeats self, forgets what was heard or
read, misplaces things)• Poor decision-making, judgment, or problem-solving; decreased
organizational skills• Difficulty learning new tasks or performing routine tasks• Problems managing money (balancing checkbook, forgetting to• pay bills) or household• Difficulties expressing self (word finding) or participating in• conversation• Getting lost in familiar areas, forgetting known routes while driving• Change in personality (apathetic, disinhibited), mood (sad,• irritable), or behavior (odd or bizarre)
Historical Components of the Dementia Evaluation
TEMPORAL FACTORS• Mode of onset (acute , subacute, insidious)• Course (static progressive, improvement over time,
fluctuating) INDIVIDUAL FACTORS• Cultural background• Educational level• Social/occupational demands (and changes incurred by• symptoms)• Life circumstances (social, financial, occupational, living
arrangements)• Premorbid personality characteristics
Historical Components of the Dementia Evaluation
HEREDITARY FACTORS• Familial risk factors (stroke, hypertension,
diabetes mellitus)• Genetic: family history suggesting
autosomal dominant inheritance or multiple cases in family suggesting non-mutation associated familial disease (e.g., apolipoprotein E4-associated Alzheimer's disease)
Historical Components of the Dementia Evaluation
MEDICAUNEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS• General medical conditions (hypothyroidism,
hypertension, diabetes mellitus , heart disease)• Neurological conditions (transient ischemic attacks,
strokes, seizures , syncope, head trauma)• Associated motor features (tremor, gait difficulties,
speech/swallowing disturbance, ataxia)• Sleep disturbances (sleep apnea, insomnia, sleep-
associated movement disorder)
Evaluation
• Cognitive Assessment• Neuropsychiatric Assessment• Laboratory Evaluation• Neuroimaging
EXAMINATION OF AMEMORY
• MINI MENTAL STATUS EXAMINATION(MMSE)• Detection of IMMEDIATE , LONG TERM ,
REMOTE Memory • GENERAL &NEUROLOGIC EXAM
EVALUATION OF MEMORY
• Problem in IMMEDIATE MEMORY:• Attention ororintation cause immediate
memory deficit • IMMEDIATE: repeat aseries of random
digit.• Spared in SEVER AMNESIA & mild

NEUROTRANSMITTER OF MEMORY
• CHOLINERGIC SYSTEM: has a critica l role in longterm memory
• SCOPOLAMINE(cholinergic antagonist) impaire memory
• PHYSIOSTIGINE(cholinergic agonist) faciliate memory performance
• CATHECHOLAMINE : important role in working memory
ALZEHEIMER( risk factor)
• Age(Prevalance): >60 years 5%• >85years 20-50%• Life time of developing AD is 12-17%• Alzheimer is sporadic , genetics basis 5%• Familial Alzheimer is AD : mutation in the APP
( chromosome 21) presenilin 1 ( chromosome 14 ) , presenilin 2 , APoe €4
• Others:Limited education, depression,gender, strogen replacement, head trauma, history of thyroid disease.

• 1-Memory loss (recent involved.• 2- aphasia (wernike)• 3- apraxia• 4- agnosia (a nosognosia,
prosopagnosia,• a topoghraphagnosia)
Alzeheimer(clinical symptomes)
• 5-Psychiatric symptoms • (depression,psychotic symptom• Paranoid delusion , and hallucination.• 6-Vegetative symptoms(sleep
disturbance, incontinence)• 7-Later bed ridden
Alzeiheimer(pathogenesis)
• 1- CORTICAL ATROPHY• 2- NEUROTIC (senile)PLAQUES, that is
amyloid surroded by dystrophic neuritis• 3- NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLE(paired
hellicalfillaments.)• Filaments are major constituent of NFT, ,
neuropil treads, dystrophic neuritis.
Alzeheimer(pathogenesis)
• AD disrupts cortical input to hippcampus from association and limbic structure
• &• DISRUPTS HIPPOCAMPAL OUT FLOW
FROM Amomonis , subiculum to association cortex , diencephalon, basal forebrain and amygdala.
•
Alzeheimer( pathogenesis)
• ALZEHEIMER disconnect the hippocampus from its major
• INPUT & OUT PUT pathways, • BECAUSE
• HIPPOCAMAL FORMATION ARE INVOLVED EARLY IN AD.
Alzeheimer (management)
• 1-MEMORY TONIC: central acetylcholinestrase inhibitor:
TACRIN, EXELON MILD &MODERATE STAGE OF DISEASE
• 2-HALLOPERIDOL FOR DELUSION • 3-SEROTONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITOR
FOR DEPRESSION
MCI
• The most studied form of MCI is that of isolated recent memory loss, or amnestic MCI.
• Diagnostic criteria are as follows:1-a subjective or objective impairment in recent
memory, 2-relatively preserved cognitive functions in
other domains,3- and presence of normally performed everyday
activities of daily living..
MCI• Persons who present with amnestic MCI have an increased risk of
developing diagnosable AD at rates of 12% to 15% per year, in contrast with I% to 2% per year in age-matched normal subjects.
• Increased risk of more rapid transition or "conversion“ to AD includes:
significant hippocampal atrophy on MRI, worsened performance on recent memory testing, Elevated CSF tau and reduced A~-42 in the CSF, and the presence of an apoE4 allele
Alz PET
FTD• onset typically between the ages of 50 and
60 years• and featuring insidious personality change,
disinhibition, and subsequent gradual loss of speech output. Approximately 50% of the cases were familial.
• Amyloid PLAQUES and NEUROFIBRILLARY TANGLE not seen.
• FTD as a tauopathy• No treatment.
