Today is world Alzheimer’s day so today I’ll leave you with this lovely poem.... When I wander, don’t tell me to come and sit down. Wander with me. It may be because I am hungry, thirsty, need the toilet. Or maybe I just need to stretch my legs. When I call for my mother (even though I’m ninety!) don’t tell me she has died. Reassure me, cuddle me, ask me about her. It may be that I am looking for the security that my mother once gave me. When I shout out please don’t ask me to be quiet...or walk by. I am trying to tell you something, but have difficulty in telling you what. Be patient. Try to find out. I may be in pain. When I become agitated or appear angry, please don’t reach for the drugs first. I am trying to tell you something. It may be too hot, too bright, too noisy. Or maybe it’s because I miss my loved ones. Try to find out first. When I don’t eat my dinner or drink my tea it may be because I’ve forgotten how to. Show me what to do, remind me. It may be that I just need to hold my knife and fork I may know what to do then. When I push you away while you’re trying to help me wash or get dressed, maybe it’s because I have forgotten what you have said. Keep telling me what you are doing over and over and over. Maybe others will think you’re the one that needs the help! With all my thoughts and maybes, perhaps it will be you who reaches my thoughts, understands my fears, and will make me feel safe. Maybe it will be you who I need to thank. If only I knew how.

🍒Dementia is a condition which affects a person's memory, behaviour and personality,usually over 60years of age, so much so that it inferences with their functioning and in carrying out their activities of daily living. 🍒The first sign of Alzheimer’s is memory loss. They forget things that have been told recently - important dates as well as everyday things. 🍒Gradually the symptoms progress to confusion and difficulty in performing everyday tasks. 🍒The person starts misplacing things and losing their sense of time and space. 🍒Being compassionate towards them and treating them with utmost respect and dignity is the least we can do. #worldalzheimersday #worldalzheimersmonth #alzheimersawareness #alzheimers #alzheimer #alzheimersdisease #alzheimersassociation #alzheimersprevention #alzheimersawarenessmonth #alzheimerssociety #oldage #geriatric #dementia #dementiaawareness #dementiacare #dementiaquotes #dementiacaregiver #dementiasupport #geriatricmentalhealth #geriatricpsychiatry #geriatric #oldagementalhealthawareness #dementiahelp #dementiacare https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYprRvHF0i/?igshid=u3idk1e6fxky

Recent research shows using CBD to relieve Alzheimer’s disease has a high potential for helping benefit associated symptoms and possibly more. Using CBD to relieve Alzheimer’s can help by acting as a neuroprotectant, an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and more. ➡️ http://bit.ly/Blog-Alzheimers-treatment #dementia #alzheimer #alzheimersdisease #alzheimersassociation #alzheimers #alzheimersprevention #alzheimersfight #worldalzheimersmonth #dementiaawareness #alzheimersawarenessmonth #worldalzmonth #alzheimers #alzheimerssociety #alzheimerssupport #health #alzheimer #hope #dementia #cannabidiol #cbdhemp #cbdoil #cbdrich #industrialhemp #cbd #nervecell #terpenes #cannabis #cannabissativa #cbdoils #cbdpaste #cbdisolate #cannabidiolforhealth #caregiver #alzheimerassociation #livingwithalzheimers #beatalzheimers #pharmahempstore https://www.instagram.com/p/B2q9eEohwY3/?igshid=4srq1tfhewnd

Could A Hormone Produced by Exercise Hold the Key to Treating Alzheimer’s Disease?

By mghresearch    |    Alzheimer's Disease, Medicine    |    22 November, 2021    |   

Researchers from Mass General and colleagues have learned more about how exercise benefits brain health—insights that open a promising new approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

In a recent study in Nature Metabolism, a team led by Mass General’s Christiane Wrann, DVM, PhD, demonstrates that it is the hormone irisin, which is produced by the muscles during exercise, that confers the positive effects of exercise on the brain.

The team also found that an injection of irisin can restore cognitive function in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting irisin could be effective in patients who are already displaying symptoms of the disease.

“The fact that irisin treatment was effective in AD mouse models even after the development of significant pathology is promising for translation into humans, where therapy would typically start after patients are already symptomatic,” says Wrann, an investigator at the Cardiovascular Research Center and the McCance Center for Brain Health at Mass General, and an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

About Irisin

Irisin, the circulating form of the membrane protein fibronectin-domain III containing 5 (FNDC5), is one of the most recently discovered in 2012 by the lab of Bruce Spiegelman, PhD, at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is derived from mouse skeletal muscle.

Dr. Wrann did her postdoctoral training in Spiegelman’s lab, where one of her first experiments was to measure irisin levels in different tissue samples. When she found high levels of irisin in brain tissue, she started thinking about a potential connection between irisin and the positive cognitive effects of exercise.

To investigate these connections, Wrann and her research team conducted a series of experiments with mice that were genetically engineered to remove—or “knock out”—the gene that codes for FNDC5 and thereby irisin (KO mice). They compared these KO mice to wild type mice (mice without any genetic alterations). Alzheimer's Disease & Irisin

In separate experiments using AD mice (mouse models genetically engineered to develop an inherited form of Alzheimer’s disease) the team tested the effects of irisin injections (or irisin treatment) on cognitive performance. Eight-month-old AD mice, which were already displaying the cognitive deficits of AD, received injections of a viral vector designed to increase irisin production in the liver to reach pharmacological irisin levels in plasma.

At 10 months of age, irisin-treated AD mice performed significantly better in spatial learning and memory tests and showed improved context discrimination and pattern separation.

Irisin and Adult-Born Neurons

To learn how irisin affects the growth and maturation of adult born neurons in the hippocampus, the team injected both the exercised and non-exercised wild type and the KO mice with a fluorescent reporter virus.

Although the KO mice increased the number of adult-born neurons after exercise, same asthe wild type mice, these neurons lacked an exercise-induced increase in dendritic complexity, had smaller and lesser dendritic spines, and displayed abnormal functioning—defects that are all consistent with impaired maturation.

This suggests that irisin plays a role in the pruning and integration of new neurons into existing neuronal circuits, says Wrann.

“In neurobiology, it’s not always good to have more—you have to have the right amount,” she explains. “If you have too little and you can’t talk to your neighbor, that’s not good. If you have too many and everyone is like yelling in your ear, that’s not good.”

Pathway to a Treatment

While the findings are promising, more research needs to be done before irisin can start being tested as a treatment for patients.

“We want to do everything we can to get this into the therapeutic realm,” says Wrann, the co-founder of a company developing irisin-based treatments for AD. “We’ve done a lot of very careful studies, and I’m cautiously optimistic that we can do that.” https://mgriblog.org/2021/11/22/could-a-hormone-produced-by-exercise-hold-the-key-to-treating-alzheimers-disease/

The Clark

That it will never come again 

Is what makes life so sweet. 

Believing what we don’t believe 

Does not exhilarate. 

That if it be, it be at best 

An ablative estate— 

This instigates an appetite 

Precisely opposite.

Pierre Puvis de Chavannes (14 December 1824 – 24 October 1898) was a French painter known for his mural painting, who came to be known as "the painter for France".[1] He became the co-founder and president of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts, and his work influenced many other artists, notably Robert Genin. Puvis de Chavannes was a prominent painter in the early Third Republic. Émile Zola described his work as "an art made of reason, passion, and will". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Puvis_de_Chavannes
