Social Psychiatric Aspects of Dementia.
Authors: Psota G
Abstract
The future of a dementia-appropriate care rests on early diagnosis and treatment (also in terms of a timely information, counselling and assistance), developing mobile medical healthcare, integrating and coordinating all dementia care partners and stakeholders, appropriate assessments of the stages of care allowance, providing new forms of housing, addressing the migration issue, and reducing unnecessary administrative bureaucracy - as well as, last but not least, the fight against prejudice. People affected by dementia suffer not only from symptoms of their illness but also from ...

Careways of dementia care.
Authors: Weichbold B
Abstract
This paper presents first before the clinical picture of dementia and is further on dedicated to ways of dealing with people who suffer from dementia. They often show - from the perspective of this often loaded and challenged social environment - unexpected and/or unpredictable behavior. There is no panacea for the ends of successful dealing with people with dementia.

[Dementia and Nutrition - a brief overview].
Authors: Zauner K, Windhager E
Abstract
The continued ageing of our society results in an increased prevalence of dementia. It is therefore of interest to question possible effects of a balanced right diet in the prevention of dementia as well as focus on the specific dietary needs of patients suffering from dementia. Epidemiologic studies have linked a Mediterranean diet to a decreased risk of developing dementia. Various current studies are being done to determine which nutritional components are causing the effect and whether single food components can cause similar outcomes. Malnutrition, Sarcopenia an...

[Projections about the future number of dementia sufferers: increasing life expectancy not sufficiently considered?]
CONCLUSIONS: In the next decades, the number of persons suffering from dementia will rise considerably. Increasing life-expectancy will result in markedly higher numbers of persons with dementia than estimated from earlier population projections. Nevertheless, this is the first analysis of future dementia cases based on projections from two different dates, but using the same source. We must conclude that the dramatically increasing number of dementia cases requires comprehensive planning of the health and social care system.

Cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease.
Authors: Ransmayr G
Abstract
Parkinson's disease is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disorder. There is significantly elevated risk of cognitive decline and associated neuropsychiatric symptoms. Dementia may develop insidiously several years after manifestation of Parkinson motor symptoms (dementia associated with Parkinson's disease; Parkinson's disease dementia) or in close temporal relationship (within one year) after onset of motor symptoms (Dementia with Lewy bodies). There are clinical, pathophysiological and therapeutic similarities between these two conditions. Men are more frequently aff...
