Research Budget Increase

8/29/2018

Alzheimer's
August 29, 2018, from the Alzheimer's Association National Office:

"The U.S. Senate passed a $425 million increase for Alzheimer’s and dementia research funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for fiscal year 2019. As part of our nationwide network of dedicated advocates who have shared stories and personal messages with members of Congress, you helped make this happen. Thank you!

Because of the Alzheimer’s Association and AIM’s leadership to increase NIH funding, scientists are advancing basic disease knowledge, ways to reduce risk, new biomarkers for early diagnosis and drug targeting, and developing the needed treatments to move to clinical testing. And beyond research, Congress continues to work on Alzheimer's policies that will impact millions of Americans living with the disease and their caregivers.

Congress may soon consider the Building our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act. This legislation builds upon recent research advances to strengthen the nation’s public health response to Alzheimer’s by providing state, local, and tribal public health officials with the resources necessary to increase early detection and diagnosis, reduce risk, prevent avoidable hospitalizations, and address health disparities.

Help continue our momentum on Capitol Hill and tell Congress to pass the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act!"

How Stress Impacts End-of-Life Care

4/20/2018

0 Comments

 
stress
The American Psychological Association reveals that as our golden loved ones approach the end of their lives they, their families and care givers face tasks that include a broad array of choices or major decisions. Tasks include psychological, spiritual, legal, existential and preliminary medical. A dying person can be faced with choices about what kind of caregiver help they need at home or away from home in a facility.

All end-of-life medical decision choices have complex psychological ramifications and consequences that have an impact on the quality of the living of whom are dying. Each of these decisions should be discussed in terms of a value for the individual dying. Stress comes in when the system of medical care has its own primary values that does not coincide with the values of that person. Therefore, treatment or care possibilities by health care providers may overlook the dying person's wishes.
Alzheimer's or other dementia plays a huge role it the misunderstanding of treatment plans. It can be a stressful situation. To aid in this dilemma, there is help. If you, your loved ones or the care giver are feeling stressed, get support from family, friends and these important resources bulleted here:
  • Call the 24/7 ALZ.ORG Helpline: 800.272.3900
  • Locate a support group in your community

Let's Be Safe Out There
Hill Street Blues Television Show - Google
