Genetic Factors in AD

-40% of AD patients have family history for the disease -some families exhibit pattern of inheritence that suggests possible autosomal-dominant gene transmission -some studies indicate early-onset cases are more likely than late-onset to be familial -may be link between AD and gene mutations found on chromosomes 21, 14, and 1 -mutations on chromosome 21 cause abnormal formation of APP -mutations on 14 cause abnormal presenilin 1 to be made -mutations on chromosome 1 leads to the formation of abnormal presenilin 2 -each mutation results in increased amount of the amyloid protein -individuals with down syndrome (carry an extra copy of chromosome 21) have been found to be unusually susceptible to AD -molecular and cellular pathways that may be involved include: glial cell activation, inflammation, glucose transport systems, and abnormal neuronal circuit activity -keytone bodies have a protective effect on neurons, so some researchers believe keytones will help with memory, learning, and reduce toxic proteins associated with the development of AD

Substance Witdrawal Delirium

-Withdrawal from substances can precipitate symptoms of delirium that are sufficiently severe and warrant clinical attention -alcohol -opioids -sedative-hypnotics -anxiolytics -others

NCD Impairments Incude

-abstract thinking -judgment -impulse controle -conventional rules of social conduct are often disregarded -uninhibited and inappropriate behavior -neglect of personal appearance/hygiene

NMDA Receptor Antagonist for AD

-act by blocking NMDA receptors from excessive glutamate, preventing continuous influx of calcium into the cells, and ultimately slowing down neuronal degradation. -MEMANTINE (NAMENDA) -POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS ARE DIZZINESS, HEADACHE, AND CONSTIPATION.

MEMANTINE (NAMENDA) KNOW THIS MED!!!

-act by blocking NMDA receptors from excessive glutamate, preventing continuous influx of calcium into the cells, and ultimately slowing down neuronal degradation. -NMDA receptor agaonist -treatment of cognitive impairment -daily dosage range is 5-20 mg -dizziness, headache, constipation are side effects

Cholinesterase Inhibitors for AD

-act by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, which slows the degradation of acetylcholine, therby increasing concentrations of the neurotransmitter in the brain. -DONEPEZIL (ARICEPT) -RIVASTIGMINE (EXELON) -GALANTAMINE (RAZADYNE) -MOST COMMON SIDE EFFECTS ARE DIZZINESS, GI UPSET, FATIGUE, AND HEADACHE.

DONEPEZIL (ARICEPT) KNOW THIS MED, LOOK OVER ARICEPT HANDOUT!!!

-act by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase, which slows the degradation of acetylcholine, therby increasing concentrations of the neurotransmitter in the brain. -cholinesterase inhibitor -treats cognitive impairment -daily dosage range is 5-10 mg -side effects include: insomnia, gi upset, dizziness, and headache -A RICE PT

Delirium Symptom Resolution

-age of patient and duration of delirium influence rate of symptom resolution -once underlying cause is eliminated, symptoms usually diminish in 3-7 days, but could take up to 2 weeks

Mild NCD

-also known as mild cognitive impairment -critical because can be a focus of early intervention to prevent or slow progression of the disorder.

Lorazepam (Ativan)

-antianxiety/benzodiazepine -for anxiety -1-2mg daily dosage range -side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, GI upset, hypotension, tolerance, and dependence

Haloperidol (Haldol)

-antipsychotic -used for aggitation, aggression, hallucinations, thought disturbances, and wandering -daily dosage range is 1-4mg, increase dosage cautiously -side effects include dry mouth, blurred vision, orthostatic hypotension, EPS, and sedation

NCD Progression

-apraxia may develop -may be irritable, moody, or exibit sudden outbursts over trivial issues -ability to work/care for individual needs will no longer be possible -cannot be left alone because they can't comprehend thier limitations, leaving them AT RISK FOR INJURY -wandering becomes a problem (might look for bathroom and think the door to outside is the door for the bathroom)

Delirium Symptom Onset

-begin abrubtly (head injury or seizure) -may be preceded by several hours/days of prodromal symptoms (restlessness, difficulty thinking cleary, insomnia or hypersomnolence, and nightmares) -slower onset of symptoms more common if underlying cause is systemic illness or metabolic imbalance

NCD Stage 2: Forgetfulness

-begins to lose things and forgets names -losses in short-term memory are common -individual aware of intellectual decline and may feel ashamed, become anxious or depressed, and in turn worsen symptom -maintaining and organizing with lists and a atructured routine provide some compensation -SYMPTOMS OFTEN NOT OBSERBED BY OTHERS

Vascular Neurocognitive Disorder Etiology

-blood flow to brain is impaired, progressive intellectual deterioration occurs -impairment may occur in large vessels or microvascular networks, so symptoms may vary due to type, extent, and locaton of vascular lesion -hypertension leads to the lining of blood vessels being damaged -can rupture with subsequent hemorrhage or an accumulation of fibrin in the vessels with intravascular clotting and inhibitied blood flow -particulate matter traveling through the bloodstream gets to the brain and causes infarcts -can be clots, cellular debris, air, nitrogen, and fat from soft tissue trauma or fracture of long bones (so clots can be solid, gaseous, or liquid) -CLIENTS CAN HAVE BOTH VASCULAR NCD AND AD AT THE SAME TIME, REFERRED TO AS MIXED DISORDER.

Neurocognitive Disorder Due to HIV Infection

-called HIV-1 associated cognitive/motor complex, less severe form known as HIV-1 associated minor cognitive/motor disorder -severity of symptoms is related to brain pathology -immune dysfunction from HIV can lead to brain infections -HIV-1 causes NCD directly -neuropsychiatric symptoms of early stages manifest as: barely perceptible changes in person's normal psychological presentation -later stages include: severe cognitive changes, PARTICULARLY CONFUSION, behavior changes, and possible psychoses -HAART, or highly active antiretroviral therapies, have caused declines in the incidence rates of NCD due to HIV infection

Neurocognitive Disorder (NCD)

-can be mild or major -distinction made by severity of symptoms

Psychomotor Activity in Delirium

-can fluctuate between agitation, purposeless movements (restlessness, hyperactivity, striking out at nonexistent objects), and vegetative state that resembles catatonic stupor -various forms of tremors are frequently present

Substance or Medication Induced Neurocognitive Disorder

-can occur from substance reaction, overuse, or abuse -symptoms consistent with major or mild neurocognitive disorder and persist beyond usual duration of intoxication and acute withdrawal -associated substances include: alcohol, sedatives, hypnotics, anxiolytics, and inhalants -drugs that cause anticholinergic side effects and toxins like lead or mercury have also been implicated

NCD Due to AD

-characterized by mild/major NCD and 7 stages -symptom onset is slow and insidious -course is generally progressive and deteriorating -MEMORY IMPAIRMENT IS AN EARLY AND PROMINENT FEATURE

Vascular Neurocognitive Disorder

-cognitive symptoms due to cerebrovascular disease -2ND MOST COMMON FORM, FIRST IS AD -different than AD because it has more abrubt onset and runs a highly variable course -progression occurs in steps rather than gradual deterioration, so SYMPTOMS MAY SEEM TO CLEAR UP AT TIMES AND INDIVIDUAL MAY EXHIBIT FAIRLY LUCID THINKING -MEMORY MAY SEEM BETTER AT THESE TIMES AND CLIENT MAY THINK THEY ARE IMPROVING UNTIL FURTHER DECLINE STARTS -causes intense anxiety for client with this disorder -may suffer from small strokes, destroying many areas of the brain, so parts of the brain affected will be displayed by symptoms -COMMON FOCAL NEUROLOGICAL SIGNS SEEN ARE WEAKNESS OF THE LIMBS, SMALL-STEPPED GAIT, DIFFICULTY WITH SPEECH, AND MORE COMMON IN MEN.

S/S of Delirium

-difficulty sustaining and shifting attention -extremely distractable -needs constant reminders to focus attention -disorganized thinking that is reflected by rambling, irrelevant, pressured, or incoherent speech that switches from subject to subject -impaired reasoning and goal-directed behavior -disoriented to time and place (common) -recent memory impairment -misperception of enviroment like illusions (THINK IV IS A SNAKE) and hallucinations -distubances in sleep

Delirium Due to Another Medical Conditon/Mutiple Etiologies

-evidence from history/physical examination or laboratory findings may suggest symptoms of delirium are associated with another condition or attributed to more than 1 cause -DELIRIUM IS USUALLY RESULT OF MANY FACTORS, RATHER THAN ONE

Etiology of AD

-exact cause is unkown -may be genetic mutations -believed that there are multiple factors instead of 1 cause that influence the development of AD (neurotransmitter alterations, plaques and tangles, head trauma, and genetic factors)

Emotional Instability Manifestations in Delirium

-fear, anxiety, depression, irritability, anger, euphoria, or apathy -emotions may be eveidenced by crying, calls for help, cursing, muttering, moaning, self-destructive acts, fearful attempts to flee, and attacking others that are thought to be threatening

Treatment of Delirium

-first step is determining and correcting underlying causes. -additional attention to fluid and electrolyte status, hypoxia, anoxia, and diabetic problems -STAFF SHOULD REMAIN WITH CLIENTS AT ALL TIMES TO MONITOR BEHAVIOR AND PROVIDE REORIENTATION AND ASSURANCE -room should maintain low level of stimuli

Nuerocognitive Disorder Due to Huntington's Disease

-huntington's is transmitted as mendelian dominant gene -damage seen in areas of basal ganglia and cerebral cortex -onset of symptoms occur between age 30-50 and include: involuntary twitching of limbs/facial muscles, mild cognitive changes, depression, and apathy -client usually declines into profound state of cognitive impairment and ataxia -average durationis based on age at onset -one study concluded that juvenile and late onset have the shortest duration, median was 21.4 years

Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Another Medical Condition

-hypothyroidism -hyperparathyroidism -pituitary insufficiency -uremia -encephalitis -brain tumor -pernicious anemia -thiamine deficiency -pellagra -uncontrolled epilepsy -cardiopulmonary insufficiency -fluid and electrolyte imbalance -CNS and systemic infections -SLE -MS

Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Prion Disease

Nuerocognitive Disorder Due to Traumatic Brain Injury

-impact/movement/displacement of brain in skull with one or more of the following: loss of consciousness, posttraumatic amnesia, disorientation and confusion, or neurological signs -AMNESIA IS MOST COMMON NEUROBEHAVIORAL SYMPTOM FOLLOWING HEAD TRAUMA. -other symptoms: confusion of changes in speech, vision, or personality. -symptoms may subside or become permanent -repeated head trauma (boxing) can result in dementia pugilistica

Head Trauma and AD

-individual's with history of head trauma are at risk for AD -some individuals that experienced head trauma subsequently (after years) developed AD -increased risk to develop AD in individuals with genetic predisposition and head trauma injury

Predisposing Factors for Delirium

-individuals with serious medical, surgical, or neurological conditions fall into the group that is most predisposed -individuals over 65 considered high-risk group

NCD Stage 3: Mild Cognitive Decline

-interference with work performance, which BECOMES NOTICEABLE by coworkers -may get lost while driving -concentration may be interrupted -difficulty recalling names or words, which BECOMES NOTICEABLE to family and close associates -decline occurs in ability to plan and organize

NCD Stage 5: Moderate Cognitive Decline

-lose ability to perform some ADL's INDEPENDENTLY (hygiene, dressing, grooming) -may forget addresses, phone numbers, and names of close relatives -may become DISORIENTED TO PLACE AND TIME, but maintain knowledge about themselves -frustration, withdrawal, and self-absorption are common

Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Parkinson's Disease

-loss of nerve cells located in substantia nigra, and dopamine activity is decreased, resulting in involuntary muscle movements, slowness, and rigidity -TREMOR IN UPPER EXTREMETIES IS CHARACTERISTIC

Personality Changes in NCD

-manifested by either alteration or accentuation of premorbid characteristics -previously socially active may be apathetic and socially isolated -previously neat person may become untidy in their appearance -individual who had difficulty trusting others may become extremely fearful and paranoid as manifestations of the disorder

NCD Stage 6: Moderate to Severe Cognitive Decline

-may be unable to recall major recent life events or even name of spouse -disoriented to surroundings is common -may not be able to recall day, season, or year -UNABLE TO MANAGE ADL'S WITHOUT ASSISTANCE -INCONTINENCE IS COMMON -sleeping becomes a problem -start WANDERING -start showing obsessiveness, agitation, and aggression -sundowning occurs -loss of language skills makes COMMUNICATING HARDER -INSTITUTIONAL CARE USUALLY NEEDED AT THIS STAGE

NCD Stage 4: Mild to Moderate Cognitive Decline

-may forget major events in personal history (their own or thier child's birthday) -may experience declining ability to do tasks (shopping or managing personal finances) -may be unable to understand current news events -may deny problem exists by COVERING UP MEMORY LOSS WITH CONFABULATION -depression and social withdrawal are common

NCD Language Impairments

-may or may not be affected -may have difficulty naming objects -language may seem vague and imprecise -aphasia in severe forms of NCD -may know needs but unable to communicate them to caregiver

Delirium State of Awareness

-may range from hypervigilance to stupor or coma -sleep can fluctuate from hypersomnolence to insomnia -vivid dream and nightmares are common

Medication Induced Delirium

-medications have been known to precipitate delirium -anticholinergics -antihypertensives -corticosteroids -anticonvulsants -cardiac glycosides -analgesics -anesthetics -antineoplastic agents -antiparkinson drugs -h2 receptor antagonists (CIMETIDINE) -and others

NCD Stage 1: No Apparent Symptoms

-no apparent decline in memory despite changes occuring in the brain

NCD Clinical Findings

-occuring because more people are surviving into high risk period for NCD, which is middle age and beyond -survival after diagnosis is usually 3-12 years with most time spent in severest stage -primary NCD is like AD, where NCD itself is the major sign of some organic brain disease not directly related to any other organic illnesses. -secondary NCD are caused by or related to another disease or condition such as HIV or cerebral trauma

Plaques and Tangles in AD

-overabundance found in brains of individuals with AD -plaques are made up of a protein called amyloid beta, which are fragments of a larger protein called amyloid precursor protein (APP) -plaques form whenfragments clump together and mix with molecules and other cellular matter -tangles are formed from a special kind of cellular protein, called tau protein, whose function is to provide stability to the neuron. In AD, the tau protein is chemically altered. -strands of the protein become tangled together, interfering with the neuronal transport system -not known if plaques and tangles cause AD or if they are a consequence of AD -thought that they contribute to destruction and death of neurons, leading to memory failure, personality changes, inability to carry out ADL's, and other features of AD -number and density of senile plaques (also called amyloid plaques) in postmortem studies is correlated with severity of AD.

Major NCD

-previously known as dementia -the two diagnosis may be used to identify earlier and late stages of same disease

Advanced Dementia

-profound memory deficits -minimal verbal communication -loss of ambulatory ability -inability to perform ADL's -incontinent -MOST COMMON COMPLICATIONS ARE EATING PROBLEMS AND INFECTIONS

Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Lewy Body Dementia

-progresses more rapidly than AD -earlier appearance of visual hallucinations and parkinsonian features -delusions and depression are common symptoms -Robin Williams had this disorder -lewy bodies or eosinophilic inclusion bodies are seen in the cerebral cortex and brainstem

Neurotransmitter Alterations in AD

-research indicates the enzyme required to produce acetylcholine is dramatically reduced -reduction seems to be greates in nucleua basalis of inferior medial forebrain -decrease of acetylcholine reduces amount of neurotransmitter that is released to cells in the cortex and hippocampus, resulting in disruption of cognitive process -other neurotransmitters implicated in the pathology and clinical symptoms of AD include: norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and the amino acid glutamate -excess glutamate leads to overstimulation of the NMDA receptor, which causesincreased intracellular calcium and neuronal degeneration and cell death -decreased levles of somatostatin and corticotropin have also been found in individuals with AD.

Medication Therapy in Delirium

-some physicians diagress to medications reasoning additional agents may only compound the syndrome of brain dysfunction -psychosis with aggitation and aggresion may require chemical and/or physical restraint for patient's safety -choice of therapy made from clinical condition and underlying cause of delirium -low dose antipsychotics most common -Haloperidol (Haldol) commonly used for psychotic features. MONITOR CARDIAC STATUS BECAUSE IT CAN PROLONG QT INTERVAL IN HEART AND CAUSE DEATH FROM METABOLIC/KIDNEY ISSUES (KNOW THIS BECAUSE LILA SAID AVOID USING ANTIPSYCHOTICS FOR THESE REASONS!!!). -benzodiazepine like Lorazepine (Ativan) for substance withdrawal

Substance Intoxiaction Delirium

-symptoms attributed to intoxication from certain substances -alcohol -ampphetamines -cannabis -cocaine -hallucinogens -inhalants -opioids -phencyclidine -sedative -hypnotic -anxiolytics -other or unknown substances

Frontotemporal NCD

-symptoms occur as a result of shrinking of the frontal and temporal anterior lobes of the brain -IDENTIFIED AS PICK'S DISEASE -cause is unknown, but genetic factors appear to be involved -symptoms fall into two clinical patterns -1. behavior and personality changes -common behavior changes: increasingly innapropriate actions, lack of judgment and inhibition, and repetitive compulsive behavior. -2. speech and language problems -loss of speech -increasing difficulty using and understanding written/spoken language -DISEASE PROGRESSES STEADILY AND OFTEN RAPIDLY, RANGING FROM 2-10 YEARS.

Conditions Precipitating Delirium

-systemic infections -febrile illness (KIDS) -metabolic disorder (electrolyte imbalance, hypercarbia, hypoglycemia) -hypoxia and COPD -hepatic/renal failure -head trauma -seizures -migraine headaches -brain abscess/neoplasm -stroke -nutritional deficiency -uncontrolled pain -burns -heat stroke -orthopedic/cardiac surgeries -social isolation

Autonomic Manifestations in Delirium

-tachycardia, sweating, flushed face, dilated pupils, elevated blood pressure (fight or flight)

NCD Stage 7: Severe Cognitive Decline

-unable to recognize family members -most commonly bedfast and aphasic -problems of immobility occur like cubiti and contractures -muscles are rigid -primitive reflexes may be present -may have very active hands, grunting, and other vocalizations -depressed immune system (PLUS DECREASED IMMOBILITY COULD LEAD TO PNEUMONIA, UTI, SEPSIS, AND PRESSURE ULCERS) -decreased appetite and present dysphagia (ASPIRATION) -weight loss generally occurs -most ADL's need DONE BY CAREGIVER -spend a lot of time dozing -appears socially withdrawn and more unaware of enviroment/surroundings -DEATH MAY BE CAUSED FROM INFECTIONS, SEPSIS, OR ASPIRATION.
