SOCIO-ECONOMIC ISSUES IN ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE. RESILIENCE AND ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE CAREGIVERS

ABSTRACT

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the old population, carrying a major negative influence upon society and caregivers, as its socio-economic implications are enormous. The devastating impact of AD is also due to the fact that the diagnosis is difficult to be established in an early stage, and in spite of the advances made in medicine, the new symptomatic and disease modifying therapies have still only a mild though promising positive effect. Caregivers are exposed to increased risk of disease themselves, due to the high burden which predisposes them to stress related psychological, behavioral or cognitive disorders. Greater caregiver resilience can predict lower levels of depression. Also a strong external support system was associated with increased resilience. Establishing a pattern for the behavioral and psychological manifestations in dementia can have as direct effect developing better coping strategies in order to reduce stress and the burden of the caregivers.

Some data regarding the economic and social impact of AD, as well as facts and numbers from our local centers will be described in the following pages.

Keywords: dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, social, economics, caregiver, burden

IS THERE A LINK BETWEEN A LOW LEVEL OF VITAMIN D AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS?

Dinu Cristian Popescu, Dan Trofin, Orest Bolbocean, Bogdan Ignat and Daniela-Marilena Trofin

ABSTRACT

Multiple Sclerosis is a neurological disorder consisting in autoimmune and inflammatory manifestations. Its evolution is characterized by axonal demyelination among the central nervous system.

A growing body of evidence suggests lately that vitamin D deficiency is a very common condition in Multiple Sclerosis. On the other hand, during the last years, several studies have shown a correlation between high vitamin D serum levels and a decreased risk either for developing this illness, or preventing its evolution towards disability. Vitamin D is currently being considered an important environmental factor for this disease, therefore being widely debated whether its supplementation would actually be benefic, and if yes, what results can be expected in such a therapeutic approach.

Our brief look upon some of the latest results in the field of research for this matter is intended to synthesize what is known at this moment and what future directions would be.

Keywords: vitamin D, multiple sclerosis
