Symptoms of Alzheimer’s

Discussion Prompt 1: Symptoms of Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s is one of the more common Neurocognitive Disorders. Many individuals are familiar with Dementia and Alzheimer’s when discussing cognitive impairment in the elderly. Alzheimer’s Disease is characterized by a cognitive decline that interferes with maintaining independent living. The cognitive decline may occur in one or more domains: executive function, complex attention, learning and memory, perceptual-motor, language or social cognition (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

While Alzheimer’s Disease typically develops in individuals older than 65 years of age, there is not a minimum age requirement for Alzheimer’s Disease. Individuals who develop the disease prior to age 65 are considered to have early onset Alzheimer’s Disease. Individuals can develop Alzheimer’s Disease as early as their 30’s, 40’s or 50’s!

Alzheimer’s Disease tends to develop somewhat slowly. In many instances, close friends and family members do not see the warning signs until the disease has significantly progressed. The individual may know at onset of the disease that something is wrong with his or her cognition. This knowledge can be a frightening experience and may account for some of the acting out behavior seen early on in the disease.

Currently, there are no medications that treat Alzheimer’s Disease. Several medications do slow down the progression of the disease but are not able to reverse it. In medication management of Alzheimer’s Disease, doctors often seek to keep individuals calm by decreasing agitation and aggressive behaviors. This allows the individual to remain in the least restrictive environment for as long as possible. Once an individual begins to wander from home or engage in unsafe behavior, family members often seek the safety of a nursing home placement on a secure (locked) unit.

As you can imagine, this disease (and other Neurocognitive Disorders) are very hard for the individual, caregivers and family members! Keep this in mind as you engage in the simulation videos.

Assignment
Watch the following video (and read the associated article) that will allow you in the “shoes” of an individual struggling with Neurocognitive Disorder Due to Alzheimer’s Dementia. Take specific note of your own thoughts and feelings as you view the simulation. You may want to take written note of these reactions for use in your initial discussion prompt post.

Experience 12 Minutes In Alzheimer’s Dementia

Take the Virtual Dementia Tour (article)

After viewing the video and reading the article, start by describing any thoughts and/or feelings you had while completing the experiential activity. Then, apply the experience to your own life considering how your life would be different and/or change if you or someone you love developed similar symptoms. Some questions to consider: What would be different at home, work or school? How would your relationships be affected? Would your thoughts about yourself or your loved one change? Where would you turn for help?

Biology of Beauty

Many of us have been taught that choosing a mate is based upon cultural ideals and social cues. Check out this site to see what traits are often identified as eye candy in our culture, http://www.wikihow.com/Find-the-Ideal-Mate (Links to an external site.)

The truth is that mate selection is not just a cultural phenomenon, but rather, biological determined. To understand the biology of beauty, you must always remember to head straight for the genes.

Sexual Selection:

Charles Darwin taught us that mate selection is not a random process. It is determined by a biological mechanism or force of evolution known as sexual selection. Sexual selection is made up of two components, competition (between males for females) and advertising. You can observe Homo sapiens demonstrating such actions at coffee houses, clubs or even in your school quad.

Competition allows a male to court a female and to possibly gain access to her limited number of eggs. If a male possesses physical signs to attract a mate, he increases his likelihood of passing along his genetic material and influencing future generations. Culturally, a man may attract a mate with a shiny new car or a fancy gold watch. From an evolutionary perspective, he may have a pronounced chin, which is a sign of a higher testosterone level.

A female may advertise by wearing tight clothing or extra make-up. But we know that from an evolutionary perspective, to attract a mate she should have symmetrical facial features and a hip to waist ratio of roughly .8.

We do not randomly choose someone as a mate. In fact, studies across cultures indicate that we look for very specific physical features. Males tend to choose females with facial features that represent a youthful, healthy appearance. Females look for males that tend to be taller (that is correct, tall men have sex earlier and tend to have a greater number of offspring than their shorter counterparts) and hunkier (but not big bodybuilders) in order to protect and provide for their mate and children.

But wait… how does this information relate to Kim Kardashian? This television personality has high cheekbones and clear eyes, both strong indicators of youth and vitality. She also has wide hips. This physical characteristic indicates a greater likelihood of successfully bearing young. We are focusing exclusively on an evolutionary perspective. So, if humans choose certain physical traits over and over, in 1,000’s of generations, this will influence future offspring.

• Describe one biological trait that you find to be attractive
• Discuss how this trait differs between humans due to variation (and feel free to address sexual selection)
• How does this physical sign of beauty relate to the passing along of genetic material across multiple generation.
