Guarding the memory of love
The most romantic thing is to grow old with you, and the cruelest thing is to look at you, you no longer recognize me, but you are still calling my name.
In "Things that Make People Cry", there is a story. At the daughter's wedding, the father who had Alzheimer's disease (senile dementia) walked up to the stage with a hunched back, his expression was dull, and he mechanically and intermittently recited a letter.
The mother told her daughter that when her father knew that he had Alzheimer's disease, he took great pains to write down the wedding speech, and told his wife countless times that this was the speech he hoped to give at his beloved daughter's wedding, definitely, definitely. In order to cope with the disease, he wore an efficient memory aid, recited and spoke over and over again. In the end, he did remember it, but he only remembered this part later, even if he could no longer remember who his daughter and wife were, he only remembered this letter.
What is Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer's disease is a dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases.
The most common early symptom of Alzheimer's is difficulty remembering newly learned information.
Like the rest of our bodies, our brains change as we age. Most of us eventually notice a slowing of our thinking and occasional problems remembering certain things. However, severe memory loss, confusion, and other major changes in the way our minds work may indicate that brain cells are failing. Alzheimer's changes often begin in the part of the brain that affects learning. As Alzheimer's progresses through the brain, it causes increasingly severe symptoms, including disorientation, mood and behavioral changes; deepening confusion about events, times, and places; unfounded suspicion of family, friends, and professional caregivers; more severe memory loss and behavioral changes; and difficulty speaking, swallowing, and walking.
People with possible signs of memory loss or Alzheimer's may find it difficult to recognize that they have a problem. Signs of dementia may be more obvious to family or friends. Anyone with symptoms of dementia should see a doctor as soon as possible.
Alzheimer's and the Brain
Microscopic changes in the brain begin before the first signs of memory loss.
The brain has 100 billion nerve cells (neurons). Each nerve cell connects to many others to form a communication network. Groups of nerve cells have special jobs. Some are involved in thinking, learning, and remembering. Others help us see, hear, and smell.
To do their jobs, brain cells operate like little factories. They receive supplies, generate energy, build equipment, and get rid of waste. Cells also process and store information and communicate with other cells. Keeping it all running requires coordination and lots of fuel and oxygen.
Scientists believe that Alzheimer's prevents one part of the cell factory from functioning well. They're not sure where the trouble starts. But, like a real factory, backups and failures in one system can cause problems in other areas. As the damage spreads, cells lose their ability to do their jobs and eventually die, leading to irreversible changes in the brain.
Gts-21 Nootropics is a novel, small-molecule selective α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist. lt's also frequently called GTS-21 HCL or DMXBA because it's actually a 3-2,4-dimethoxybenzylidene anabaseine in chemistry. GTS-21 has recently been established as a promising treatment for inflammation. in human clinical trials, GTS-21 is demonstrated to enhance memory and cognition activity. so it belongs to the category of nootropics and is currently being extensively researched for treatment of Alzheimer's and Schizophrenia as well as Nicotine dependence.
Alzheimer's disease is also known as "the longest farewell" and "a gentle terminal illness", but being ill is unfortunate, and no warm modifiers can change its status quo. The number of Alzheimer's patients around the world is increasing rapidly at a rate of one every 3 seconds, and these patients may even be around us. Before the memory fades, any kind of emotion seems so insignificant, whether it is the complaints between family members, the gap between children, or the grudges between good friends. When a person gradually forgets the world, he will also slowly "reconcile" with the world.
