Facts about Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease affects many people in the United States and all over the world.

By 2050 there will be 150 million people in the world with dementia.
Currently 50 million people are affected by dementia.
Alzheimer’s Disease accounts for over 60% of dementia patients.
Dementia healthcare costs an estimated 290 billion dollars per year in the US
10% of the population over age 65 has Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease can be diagnosed better by using the Neuroreader® software

Neuroreader® is a post processing imaging software designed to aid in diagnosis of the various stages of Alzheimer’s Disease along with other cognitive impairment issues. Ultimately to reach a better process and thereby a better quality of life for all people involved.

Clinical challenge: Early detection of neurological diseases is highly dependent on the expertise of the physician.

Advancement: The Neuroreader® software algorithms perform on par with expert physicians to determine the volume of 64 brain volumes and can be readily used to help establish diagnoses.*

Quantitative Approach: Neuroreader® reports a 92% sensitivity threshold compared to 27% by visual assessment.*

There are many symptoms of Alzheimer’s, and they are often put in three different categories or stages:

Mild Alzheimer’s Disease
Moderate Alzheimer’s Disease
Severe Alzheimer’s Disease

Symptoms and signs of mild Alzheimer’s Disease

With mild symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, people may seem to be quite healthy in the mind but making sense of the world around them may increasingly become difficult. The realization that something is degradingly wrong often comes gradually to the affected person family members.

Symptoms of mild Alzheimer’s Disease may include:

Memory loss
Poor judgment leading to bad decisions
Loss of spontaneity and sense of initiative
Taking longer to complete normal daily tasks
Repeating questions
Trouble handling money and paying bills
Wandering and getting lost
Losing things or misplacing them in odd places

Symptoms of moderate Alzheimer’s Disease

Moderate symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease require more intensive supervision and care. While the care of people with moderate Alzheimer’s Disease becomes necessary, it can be challenging for many spouses and families to keep up the pace of routine life.

Symptoms of moderate Alzheimer’s Disease may include:

Increase level of memory loss and confusion
Inability to adapt to new things and thereby a decreased level of learning
Increased difficulty with language and problems with reading, writing, and working with numbers
Difficulty organizing thoughts and thinking logically
Shortened attention span regarding different tasks
Problems coping with perception and new situations
Difficulty carrying out multi-step tasks, e.g. getting dressed
Problems recognizing family and friends
Hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia
Impulsive behavior e.g. undressing at inappropriate times and places or using vulgar language
Sudden and inappropriate outbursts of anger
Agitation, restlessness, anxiety, tearfulness, wandering – especially in the late afternoon or evening
Repetitive statements as well as movement, occasional muscle twitches

Symptoms of severe Alzheimer’s Disease

People that live with severe Alzheimer’s disease cannot communicate properly and are completely dependent on other humans for their care. The affected person may be in bed most or all of the time (at its worst) as the body shuts down.

Severe symptoms often include:

Brainreader is dedicated to helping physicians and patients achieve the best diagnoses available for Alzheimer’s Disease and various other brain diseases. Neuroreader®, enables physicians to better assess brain volume from MRI scans, thereby assisting with appropriate and optimal treatment plans.

Alzheimer’s Disease and MRI of the Brain

Alzheimers’s Disease detection and diagnosis can be challenging for everyone involved. MRI of the brain is a vital element in the evaluation process. The Neuroreader® Report by Brainreader provides clinicians an assessment tool to aid in the diagnosis of the disease by delivering quantifiable and accurate volumetric data of the brain.

It is Brainreader’s goal to improve the quality of life for people suffering from Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases by providing an assessment tool to assist in determining the severity of the diseases. Doctors can make informed decisions and customized treatment plans by using the Neuroreader® Report ultimately resulting in prolonging the disease progression.

Tests for Alzheimer’s Disease

There are multiple ways to test a person for Alzheimer’s Disease. MRI scans of the brain are one method of screening for the disease.

Another way to test for Alzheimer’s Disease is via a blood test. Blood tests and brain MRI’s are both modern ways of diagnosing the disease, but blood tests are not as widely used as of now, because they are new in terms of Alzheimer’s Disease detection and may be very expensive. MRI scans are more widely used and may still be a more affordable option for determining Alzheimer’s Disease.

Combined testing methods may be the most effective for determining brain health.

Alzheimer’s treatment

Many doctors treat Alzheimer’s Disease with medications or a combination of medication, diet, and exercise. Patients should seek medical advice if suffering from cognitive impairment.
