Donepezil

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Donepezil (Aricept)  is a drug derived from components of actual black pepper.  It is the most widely prescribed drug for patients who have Alzheimer’s disease .  It works by preventing the breakdown of the chemical neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain.  The tablet is taken once daily , which helps with regular pill taking  ( compliance).  It seems that for all the studies that have been done in an effort to improve the taking of pills and medications on a regular basis – that is compliance – that lack of compliance is generally estimated at a full 50 %.   The only things that seem to enhance and improve compliance levels with medications are 1) to reduce the frequency of dosage and 2) tie in the pill taking to a regime involving a daily habit — 0ften meals.   To make matters perhaps more amusing and even worse it seems that patients often improve their regular pill taking and compliance of medications when they become more ill and are reminded of their symptoms.  The poor health care providers are often at a loss to explain symptoms and side effects that often and usually were not present before and are the direct result of patients now taking their pills and medications on a regular and proper basis. On top of that multi-drug side effects and interactions may now emerge since the patient may well be finally taking the drugs they had forgot to or had chosen not to take before in their treatment plan and plans.

It is generally well tolerated.  Often the dose is started low at 5 mg per a day and then “bumped” up to the 10 mg dose.    Some authorities and practitioners in the field have believed that the drug will only work for a six month time period whereas others have continued treatment with the drug and made substantiated claims that a beneficial effect can be demonstrated in Alzheimer’s patients for several years. Indeed the medication may have  a disease modifying and limited beneficial effect all on its own.

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

The cholinteresterase inhibitors thus far available  are currently only approved by the F.D.A. (The US Food and Drug Administration)  , are approved by the FDA as only being effective for Alzherimer patients who have thus far mild to moderate disease.  However these drugs and medications – that is the cholinesterase classification medication grouping, may well show promise for those who are in the earliest as well as later stages of the disease , as well.  In addition they could well be of benefit and benefits to those with mil cognitive impairment as well.

One large study evaluated the use of Aricept (dozepezil) in the treatment of mild cognitive  impairment and found that it significantly reduced conversion to active Alzheimer’s progressive disease.

In addition drugs in this class appear to have an added benefit in improving behaviour as well as overall cognitive abilities.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Perhaps the most prescribed category of drugs for Alzhimer’s disease are the “Cholinesterase Inhibitor”  branch.  This group and grouping includes four medications.  Their trade names are “Aricept” , “Cognex” , “Excelon”  and “Reminyl”.  This group of medications , specifically the  “Cholinterase Inhibitors”   work via a mechanism of raising brain levels of the chemical neurotransmitter in the brain , acetylcholine , that is deficient in people and patients who exhibit the signs , symptoms and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease and its variants.

It can be said that overall these drugs , and this classification of medications , work to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s Disease.

In terms of side effects , and the range and variations of side effects with the Cholinesterase classification of drugs  side effects are all pretty similar in their type and range.  This generally includes , nausea , vomiting ,diarrhea , stomach pain, and loss of appetite.  However care must be exhibited with the drug / medication Cognex which can work to effect and cause liver toxicity and toxicities.

Red Wine Health Benefits

Friday, April 17th, 2009

The choice of alcohol in terms of health benefits is “red”  and “red wine”.    Experts believe that red wine and its vintages are most helpful due to  the fact that overall red wines contain high levels of anti-oxidants. On the other side of the fence , or the bottle or keg the beverage beer , in fact may be associated with developing dementia itself. Beer drinkers as a matter of course have often been noted for their low intelligence as well as intellectual pursuits.

Although red wine itself , may well appear in the medical literature and indeed anecdotal as a preventive factor in Alzheimer’s disease and its development , that is if you do not drink you may well make the personal choice not to start at this point in your life , or the disease state of yourself or loved ones.  Its a personal choice – that may well be made on health , moral or religious terms and reasons.

If you do not drink – it is your choice whether you wish to – regardless of any apparent health benefits of drinking red wine and wines.

Alchohol Intake & Ingestion – Good or Bad When it Comes to Alzheimer's Disease

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

When it comes to alcohol indeed it can be said that no one is more of an expert than the “Schemendrick” himself – Mr Tuesday value village .   It appears overall that while heavy drinking is devastating to brain cells of the human body , that moderate consumption can be helpful to brain activity and mental health overall.  A little may be good in moderation yet more or much more is not good.  Yet with those who like to drink or “have a drinking problem” or problem one drink is off to the races.  Its as if one drink is not enough nor is 1,000 drinks.  Its an endless case of “chasing the dragon’s tail”.

Several large European studies have found and demonstrated that that people who drank modestly  ( one to two drinks a day ) , had a much lower risk overall for developing memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease than those who did not drink what so ever or at all.   This is as opposed and compared to those who drank heavily.

Studies done in the united states  ( where generally “moderate”  drinking is defined as those who  drink two drinks a day , in the case of men , and one drink a day in the case of women) ,  have shown and demonstrated overall that study subjects who drink wine  actually lower their chances overall and statistically for developing these problems.

Yet it is a question of personal choice and evaluation for the individuals involved.   Its always a balance of the benefits in each case versus the potential and real health costs  and costs to the individuals health overall.

Go Light on the Sugar

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

It is said and estimated that the average American consumes in total more than 130 lbs (60 kg) of sugar each and every year of their lives.  On top of that with diets and preferences as they are this number is more than likely to even increase over the coming decades.   Imagine that.  However this sugar and sweetness may indeed be harmful to our minds and our brains.

Excess sugar can be converted by the body into saturated fat and fats, which is overall bad for your brain and your heart as well.   It has been noted medically that a high sugar diet can contribute to free radical activity and damage brain cell which of course will result over time in incremental and ongoing progressive memory loss and memory loss function and functioning. all of which more than contributes to the onslaught of memory loss.  Sugar also makes your body less likely to successfully fight off infections – that is reduce the functioning of your immune system and systems.    This of course will make you more likely and susceptible to bacterial and viral conditions that overall can reduce your quality and indeed your quantity of live.

How much sugar is excessive and too much ?   If one looks at the US dietary guidelines established by the US department of agriculture as a guide , then it can be said and noted that the average person should consume the equivalent of  no more than 10 teaspoons of sugar per a day.

Yet it an be said that most people have no idea what so ever of the amount of sugar they ingest each and every day of their lives.    It might be a good idea for you to run a daily diary of sugar ingestion.  You can easily calculate this by estimation according to charts and the product and nutritional listings on descriptions and packages of the products that you eat.

Ease on Up Those Carbs and Sugar

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

                It has been noted and counted that the average American consumer takes in more than 130 actual pounds of sugar each and every year.  Well that is at present in 2009.  The numbers continue to increase and grow every year.  Yet some are concerned that we have taken almost all fats out of our diet – fats are considered “evil” and more than harmful at best.   Yet the plague of obesity continues to grow – even in third world counties who do not have fast food or a single Mc Donald’s “Golden Arches” restaurant in sight.  Is this plague of obesity a result of our eliminating all fats possible in our diets and replacing intakes with carbohydrates?

                           Excess sugar can be converted by the body itself into the storage medium, saturated fat and fats, which themselves and be bad for your brain and your heart cardiac system as well.  A high sugar diet can increase free radical activity and damage brain cells, contributing itself to additional and further memory loss.   In addition it has been found sugar also makes our bodies less able to successfully fight off infections in our immune systems which then again are not a good thing by any measure or test.

Keep Your Eyes on Homocysteine

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

             Patients who have relatively high or higher levels than (normal) of the body’s chemical enzyme homocysteine have been found overall to have at least twice the chances, compared to the average population of similar mix, to developed Alzheimer’s disease than those who have normal levels of this enzyme.

           It ha s found that one effective way and means of keeping this chemical enzyme levels within check is to increase the dietary intakes and intakes of foods that are rich overall in folic acid ( foliates) .  The groups of foods that have high overall levels of folic acid include green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits and fruit juices, beans, whole wheat breads, cereals and lastly pastas.

                  Although it can be said that folic acid itself is an “essential element” in keeping down levels of serum and blood levels of homocysteine several types of “B vitamins” ,  B6 and vitamin B12 particularly.

                    Vitamin B6 is found in vegetables, cereals and in bananas while the other B vitamin of note in this case – vitamin B 12 is found primarily in animal products such as fish, meat, diary including milk, and as well in cereals and soy products that have been artificially fortified with the vitamin itself, intentionally as part of their manufacturing and milling process.

                    Lastly it has been found that many people particularly those older than 60 years of age have a reduced ability to absorb vitamin B 12.  Properly and ordinarily from their regular and ongoing food intakes – a sublingual (a supplement takes that is placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve and quickly be absorbed into the body’s bloodstream) is often utilized.  It is best to ask your attending physician for further information on this matter.
