redmax2610, Treatment of vascular dementia Because vascular dementia is closely tied to diseases of the heart and blood vessels, many experts consider it the most potentially treatable form.
Monitoring of blood pressure, weight, blood sugar and cholesterol should begin early in life. Managing these risk factors, avoiding smoking and excess alcohol, and treating underlying diseases of the heart and blood vessels could play a major role in preventing later cognitive decline for many individuals. In some cases, active management of these factors in older adults who develop vascular dementia may help symptoms from getting worse.
Once vascular dementia develops, there are no drugs currently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat it.
Most of the drugs used to treat cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease have also been shown to help individuals with vascular dementia to about the same extent they help those with Alzheimer’s. However, in March 2006, Eisai Co. Ltd., manufacturer of donepezil (Aricept), reported that in a clinical trial of donepezil for vascular dementia, a significantly greater number of deaths occurred in study participants receiving donepezil than in those taking the placebo. I FOUND THIS ON THE INTERNET, HOPE THIS HELPS
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain that results in dementia. The terms Alzheimer's and dementia are often used interchangeably, but there's a distinct difference between them.
Sometimes symptoms that look like Alzheimer's are actually due to a reversible medical condition, such as depression or delirium. These conditions aren't types of dementia -- they're reversible problems that mimic Alzheimer's disease and other dementias
Dementia is a broader term than Alzheimer's and refers to any brain syndrome resulting in problems with memory, orientation, judgment, executive functioning, and communication.
Alzheimer's they found a proteen that causes the webbing. You can find anything on the two on the internet.
There are many different forms of dementia, Alzheimers being one of them. They haven't figured out what causes that type of decline. There is also Vascular Dementia, caused by strokes. The symptoms of the disease are all very similar, but the patterns of decline are slightly different. Hope this helps somewhat.
ok thank you . so what is dementia ?? what is the diffrence in alz and dementia ? pumkin711 wanted to know , and i realy didnt know either . was told that alz carries on and on , dementia theres a gap of a big drop down .. lord it just sad , horrible disease .

Alzheimer's Disease is not a normal part of aging misplacing car keys. Not remembering a familiar name. Some people do become more forgetful as they get older. That's a normal part of aging. Alzheimer's disease is not.
Alzheimer's disease gradually destroys a person's memory and ability to learn and carry out daily activities such as talking, eating, and going to the bathroom. As the disease progresses, individuals may also experience changes in personality and behavior. Unfortunately, there are no cures for Alzheimer's disease and there is no way to predict how fast someone will progress through the stages of the disease
