| description | Abstract This PowerPoint presentation may be used with medical and health sciences students to give them a basic understanding of the dementing diseases. It describes an organizing paradigm (e.g., cortical, subcortical, and combination) and the diagnostic features of each of the diseases in the three major categories. Lecture notes include practical information about differentiating these diseases from other afflictions that are not true degenerative dementing diseases (e.g., depression, stroke, low thyroid, delirium, etc.). Also included are clinic patient management details, and family education guidelines that assist in the long-term management of these diseases. This presentation can assist those involved in provision of services to the elderly (e.g., physicians, physician assistants, nurses, dentists, dental assistants, pharmacists, mental health professionals, public health professionals, etc.). |
