How is Alzheimer’s disease managed?

Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. The symptoms of the disease differ from person to person from mild memory loss to inability to carry out simple daily tasks.

Memory loss

Cognitive problems

Behavioral changes

What are the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible progressive brain condition commonly affecting the elderly. It is characterized by the continuous death of brain cells (neurons) and the development of abnormal brain deposits called plaques and tangles. The loss of connections between neurons results in memory loss, cognitive problems, and changes in behavior.

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

What is the prognosis of a patient with Alzheimer’s disease?

The exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease is not yet fully understood. It affects adults older than 60 years old. However, early-onset Alzheimer’s disease has also been detected in younger patients with genetic abnormalities. Currently, the disease is attributed to several factors such as:

Who are at risk for Alzheimer’s disease?

Metastatic breast cancer represents an advanced stage of the disease and is difficult to treat. This stage of cancer is generally incurable but treatments may be given to control the disease and improve the patient’s quality of life. Since cure is not a likely option anymore, the goals of therapy for metastatic breast cancer are:

Can metastatic breast cancer be treated?

How does metastatic breast cancer develop?

A thorough physical examination is performed to determine the possible causes of the presenting symptoms. This will also guide your doctor in deciding what diagnostic tests are needed to investigate the condition further. These tests may include, but are not limited to:

How is metastatic breast cancer treated?

Metastatic Breast Cancer Disease - MBC

As with most diseases, a reliable support system is essential for women with this disease. Close relationships with family and friends can provide the patient with much-needed emotional support. Counseling provided by a healthcare professional can help the patient understand and deal with her condition. Support groups, whether physical or online, can help the patient feel less alone and encourage a more optimistic outlook.

What is the prognosis of a patient with metastatic breast cancer?

Symptoms may vary for different patients and will depend on where the metastatic lesions develop. For example, metastatic breast cancer in the lungs will produce respiratory symptoms such as dry cough, difficulty of breathing, shortness of breath, or chest pain. Since the most common organs affected aside from the lungs are the bones, brain, and liver, the following symptoms may also appear:

What are the symptoms of metastatic breast cancer?

Metastatic breast cancer is a condition wherein cancer cells from the primary disease in the breast travel to different organs. Once this happens, the cancer is said to have “metastasized” to other sites in the body. Usually, the presence of metastasis (plural: metastases) indicates a Stage IV breast cancer.

What is metastatic breast cancer?

Data from the American Cancer Society spanning from 2009-2015 show a 5-year survival rate of 27% for women with distant metastasis. However, treatments for metastatic breast cancer are continuously improving and this figure may be different for different types of patients. Other factors such as receptor positivity, HER2/neu status, the size and number of lesions, and the tumor grade may also affect the prognosis.

How is BPH diagnosed?

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)

BPH is not believed to be associated with increased risk for prostate cancer.

How can BPH and its symptoms be prevented?

What is the prognosis of a patient with BPH?

Treatment for BPH depends on the severity of the condition, age of the patient, size of the prostate, and accompanying medical conditions.

Medications for mild to moderate BPH include:

Patients with moderate to severe BPH may need to undergo:

How is BPH treated?

The signs and symptoms of BPH vary among men, with the size of the prostate gland not necessarily correlating with the severity of the condition.

The most common signs and symptoms of BPH include:

Other less common signs and symptoms include:

What are the signs and symptoms of BPH?

The prostate gland is a walnut-sized organ found in men between the penis and the bladder, in front of the rectum. The prostate gland produces the seminal fluid which serves as nourishment and protection of the sperm cells. During ejaculation, the prostate gland expels seminal fluid with the sperm.

What is the prostate gland?

Prostate enlargement or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) often occurs in aging men. Since the passageway of the urine (urethra) is found in the middle of the prostate, enlargement of the gland causes obstruction in the flow of urine. BPH causes uncomfortable urinary symptoms and may be associated with problems in the bladder, urinary tract or kidneys.

In some cases where a specific lesion in the brain has been identified as a focus for the seizures, surgery may be performed to control or eliminate the seizures.

Ketogenic diets have also been proven to be helpful in controlling seizures.

A patient with the following should seek immediate medical attention

How is epilepsy diagnosed?

Epilepsy

Identifying these triggers and avoiding them if feasible may help in controlling the disease. A seizure diary to record the instances of seizures and their circumstances may help in recognizing these triggers.

Seizures may be affected by certain factors called “triggers”. The presence of these triggers may cause some seizures to occur. The most common ones include:

What are seizure triggers?

ILAE 2017 Classification of Seizure Types

Partial seizures (only certain parts of the brain are affected)
Simple partial seizure (also described as “auras”)

Involuntary random body movements

Complex partial seizure

Seizures are generally categorized whether they are simple or complex, and whether they are partial (focal) or generalized. In some cases, a seizure will start out as focal and may become generalized. The classification of seizures may sometimes be difficult to understand, but here are some key features of each type of seizure:

What are the different types of epilepsy?

Not all patients with epilepsy will experience all these symptoms. Some experience only confusion and staring spells, while some patients will tend to lose consciousness and have uncontrolled movements of the extremities. In a patient with epilepsy, the symptoms will usually be similar during each episode.

There are different types of epilepsy, causing a multitude of symptoms. The most commonly seen symptoms are:

What are the symptoms of epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the central nervous system characterized by abnormal brain activity, resulting in seizures, its primary feature. Other associated symptoms include loss of consciousness, unusual sensations, and some periods of unusual behavior.

What is epilepsy?

Epilepsy affects all ages, genders, and races. However, some types of epilepsies have a genetic component and may be inherited. Infections, stroke, and head trauma may also predispose a patient to develop seizures.

Who are at risk for epilepsy?

The central nervous system, primarily the brain sends out electrical signals to different parts of the body – the muscles, the organs, and even to the different parts of the brain. That is how we are able to move the muscles, experience the five senses, and perform all normal bodily functions. When the activity of one area of the brain becomes abnormal, these signals are given out in a haphazard or excessive manner, resulting in the symptoms of epilepsy.

Why do seizures occur?

There are many treatment options for liver cancer and the method used will depend on the stage of the disease. For early stages wherein the tumor is small and is localized to only a small area, surgery can be performed to remove the tumor. Liver transplant may also be performed in a few cases of early liver cancer.

Other localized treatments include ablation techniques, wherein a substance is injected in the tumor to kill the cancer cells. These include:

Liver Cancer

There have been some factors identified with the development of liver cancer. These are:

What are the risk factors for liver cancer?

The non-specific nature of these symptoms highlights the need for medical consultation in order to determine the exact cause and rule out or confirm the presence of liver cancer.

Early stages of liver cancer generally do not produce symptoms. However, some patients may experience them sooner than others. These symptoms are often not specific and may be caused by other conditions. These symptoms include:

How is GERD prevented?

Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)

GERD or commonly referred to as reflux is a digestive disorder wherein the contents of the stomach goes back up into the esophagus (tube between the mouth and stomach). The stomach acid irritates the esophageal lining causing indigestion or a burning sensation in the neck or chest area (heartburn).

What is GERD?

What is the prognosis of a patient with GERD?

Several medical conditions predispose patients to developing GERD due to increased abdominal pressure and/orpoor closure of the LES such as:
