7. Step 9 : Review
8. Step 10 : Management
8.1. goal of management
8.1.1. there is no cureble treatment of AD
8.1.2. so only symptomatic treatmet
8.2. mamintine if the oatient has modrate to sever symptoms.
8.2.1. is a NMDA inhibitor
8.3. some patient wiould develop depression
8.3.1. so we will givw them a anti-depressive treatment
8.4. estrogen replacement therapy
8.4.1. is might increase the incedance of AD
8.4.2. it mignt increase the chance of developing cancer
8.5. non pharmacological management
8.5.1. observaing the patient
8.5.2. the environment especially in the kitchen and other part of the home
8.5.3. familly support
8.5.4. nursing house
8.5.5. rotien physical activities
8.5.5.1. cardiopulmonary fittness
8.5.6. give them a rotien ,so they could be focus in their lifestyle
8.5.7. eveloation of their sycological staus
8.5.8. well educated person will have less incedance to have this disease
8.5.8.1. so solving the pazzl will help to decrease the progression
8.5.9. patient education
8.5.10. discussion of the problem that those patient they can not judge things approprittly
8.6. in general the ACH is an important nerotransmittors in the brain,so the main treatment of AD is anticholanstraize inhebitor
8.6.1. when you start take one of theim and start solw and go slow
8.6.2. tacrine , revastagmine, dozpine, glantamine
8.6.3. it is effective in the decrease the progression of the disease , but without any curable effect
8.6.4. it might leed to fractures ,so they need a close monitor
8.7. for the behavior changes we give valoraic acid
8.8. the compination of both is better in the treatment of the modrate to sever form of the AD
8.9. diatery measure
8.9.1. medatrainan diet
8.10. preventive measure
8.10.1. such as alcohol and smoking

10. Trigger Text
10.1. 1
10.1.1. Mrs Um Mohammed, age 80, has been brought to your by her daughter who informs you that her mother has become increasingly forgetful over the last approximately 12 months: at times unaware of the day and date, and she often forgets prayer times and there is a gradual and progressive decline in her memory. She is becoming concerned with her mother’s ability to cope at home, particularly given the declining health of her father. Mrs Um Mohammed acknowledges that she occasionally has problems remembering people’s names, but feels that she has a good memory for her age. Her daughter agrees that her memory is at times very good, and better than her own for remembering items from their shared past
10.2. 2
10.2.1. Two years later, you receive a call from Mrs Um Mohammed neighbour of five years, who has found Mrs. Mohammed wandering the street, uncertain of where she is. The neighbour tells you that initially Mrs Mohammed ran away, claiming that the she was trying to kill her. She also tells you that Mrs Mohammed is usually independent and friendly, but over the last few days has seemed increasingly confused, and has been calling out during the night. While sharing lunch the day before, Mrs Mohammed had been drowsy, and had coughed a number of times. The neighbour has taken her back into the house, and has found your number by the telephone
11. Step1: Identify cues
11.1. Difficult words
11.1.1. no words
11.2. Cues
11.2.1. 1- 80 years old female
11.2.2. 2- brought by her daughter
11.2.3. 3- forgetfulness over the last year
11.2.3.1. At time not aware of day and date
11.2.3.2. long term memory is intact
11.2.3.3. the loss of the memory is gradual and progressive
11.2.4. 4- her husband health is deteriorating
12. Sep2: problem Formulation
12.1. An 80 years old female brought by her daughter complaining of increasing forgetfulness and memory deterioration. However, her long term memory is intact.
13. Step3: Hypothesis Generation
13.1. 1- learning and memory
13.1.1. memory it is located in the temporal and pre-frontal area
13.1.2. when there is a lesion, patient will develop the aggressive reaction
13.1.3. bapis circuit of the memory
13.1.4. mamilary body
13.1.5. amegdula
13.1.6. hypocampus
13.2. 2-the medical term for forgetfulness is amnesia
13.2.1. the definition of the memory
13.2.1.1. memory is defined as the encoding of the information within the brain
13.2.1.2. the second componant in the storing of the information
13.2.1.3. the third is the retreaval the information
13.2.2. memory is defined as the encoding of the information within the brain
13.2.3. memory is defined as the encoding of the information within the brain
13.3. 3- one of the causes is the accumulation of protein within the brain cytoplasm
13.3.1. so it would interfere with the transportation and leading to the memory loss
13.4. 4-infection by herpis simplex in the temporal lobe
13.5. 5- as aging process occur, their will be a neuropalstisity
13.6. 6- new memory build up
13.6.1. an increase between the wiring and connection of the neurons
13.6.1.1. the AMDA and NAMD receptors are involved in this process
13.7. 7- the problem might be specifically within the storage part of memory process.
13.7.1. the reason of that could be trumatic, HIV , krestfild- jacop disease and enciphalitis
