Behavioral Manifestations of Alzheimer’s DementiaWritten by Michael G. Rayel, MD
Alzheimer’s Dementia has a combination of cognitive and behavioral manifestations. Cognitive impairment is core problem which includes memory deficits and at least one of following: aphasia or language problem, agnosia or problems with recognition, apraxia or motor activity problem, and impairment in executive functioning (e.g. planning, abstract reasoning, and organizing).As disease advances, cognitive decline becomes associated with behavioral manifestations. What are these behavioral manifestations of dementia? Behavioral syndromes in Alzheimer’s can be grouped into two categories: psychological and behavioral. Major psychological syndromes consist of depression, anxiety, delusions, and hallucinations. Depression in dementia is very common. Up to about 87% of patients develop some form of depression. It is characterized by tearfulness or crying episodes, feelings of sadness, and neurovegetative signs and symptoms such as inability to sleep, lack of appetite, poor energy, and thoughts of death. Irritability is also common. Depression can occur even in early or mild phase of illness. About 50% of demented patients show delusions or false fixed beliefs. Such delusions include beliefs that a relative is stealing, that a spouse is just an impostor or is having an affair with a neighbor, or that friends and relatives are conspiring to cause trouble. Moreover, many patients with dementia may experience hallucinations. Most of these hallucinations are visual — seeing strangers in house, an animal or insects in living room, people in bedroom or on top of TV set. Occasionally, auditory hallucinations may be experienced — hearing footsteps or knocking on door or even people singing church hymns.
| | Understanding How To Intensify OrgasmsWritten by Philip Lim
The subject of how to intensify orgasms has been intensely studied over centuries with varying degrees of success. There are many different schools of thought on matter and we will attempt to analyze them in this article. One of most popular beliefs is that longer it takes to have an orgasm more intense it will be when it occurs. While I have found this to be true to some extent, I have also found that if sexual experience is not to my liking all that much then it does not really matter how long it takes. It will still not be most intense of orgasms. The most scientifically-based idea on how to intensify orgasms that I have come across is study which concludes that it is a physiological thing Meaning, it will depend on how much oxygen there is available to nerve endings which will determine just how intense a persons orgasms will be, on average. This type of view on how to intensify orgasms is in my opinion based on a relatively sound fact. If person has more oxygen in their blood then it will be more likely that they will have more nerve endings firing and be able to transfer signal from those nerve endings to brain in a much more efficient manner. The ways in which you increase oxygen content of your blood go up will have many other health benefits other than intense orgasms, such as better stamina and less heart disease and respiratory illness.
