How to use DONEPEZIL (ARICEPT) | Medication used in DEMENTIA (e.g. Alzheimer's disease)

In this video Doctor O’Donovan explains how to use DONEPEZIL (aka Aricept) a medication used in the treatment of DEMENTIA (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, vascular dementia etc)

WHAT IS DONEPEZIL?

Donepezil is a medicine that helps with some types of dementia.

It does not cure dementia. However, it treats some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy bodies.

It can also help with “mixed dementia”. This is when you have more than one type of dementia.

Donepezil is available on prescription only.

It comes as tablets, including tablets that melt in your mouth, and as a liquid that you drink.

KEY FACTS ABOUT DONEPEZIL

1. Donepezil can help with symptoms like being forgetful or confused.
2. The most common side effects of donepezil are diarrhoea, headache and feeling sick (nausea).
3. You can take it with or without food.
4. Drinking alcohol stops donepezil from working as well as it should. It also increases the risk of side effects.

I Asked an AI to Show Me Hell (And It Terrified Me)

health No Comments »

Artificial intelligence seems to think hell is as scary as it’s made out to be.

“Stable Diffusion is a machine learning, text-to-image model to generate digital images from natural language descriptions. The underlying approach was developed at LMU Munich and then extended by a collaboration of StabilityAI, LMU, and Runway with support from EleutherAI and LAION. The model can be used for other tasks too, like generating image-to-image translations guided by a text prompt.
It can run on most consumer hardware equipped with a modest GPU and was hailed by PC World as “the next killer app for your PC”.
Stability AI, the company behind Stable Diffusion, is in talks to raise capital at a valuation of up to one billion dollars as of September 2022.”

“But you look so healthy.” “You can’t be that sick.” “Do you even really have that condition?”
Those are some of the many comments I have been hearing for the past 6 years of my life. My name is Lex Goodwin and in 2015 at the age of 19 years old, I was diagnosed with a rare auto-immune disease called Myasthenia Gravis also known as MG. MG is a chronic neuro-muscular disease that causes severe muscle weakness. I created this video to raise awareness, share my story, and help, encourage, and be a voice for those with MG and other chronic illnesses. I also wanted to help those without MG or a chronic illness better understand what it is like living with an illness you can’t “see”. Please subscribe to my channel and like and share this video!

Behind the Mystery: Myasthenia Gravis

health No Comments »

Myasthenia gravis (MG) means grave or serious muscle weakness, which is what patients experience with this rare, autoimmune disease. The hallmark symptom is muscle weakness that worsens after periods of activity and improves after periods of rest.

University of South Florida (USF) Health Department of Neurology physician Dr. Niraja Suresh details the disease spectrum, how a diagnosis is obtained, and how to manage the condition.

In November 2020, argenx, a global immunology company, premiered the first-ever MG documentary film series called, “A Mystery to Me.” The docuseries illustrated the perseverance of three individuals as they navigate the challenges of living with MG and adapt their lives to accommodate the debilitating illness. Teresa, who was featured in the docuseries, was a busy mom, wife, and new business owner when she started to experience extreme weakness in her arms and legs. It took almost 2 years of seeing multiple doctors for her to get diagnosed. She shares her advice for other patients that anyone can relate to.

My journey with myasthenia gravis: a chronic autoimmune disease #shorts

health No Comments »

Myasthenia gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease that causes weakness in the skeletal muscles, which are responsible for breathing and moving parts of the body, including the arms and legs. The weakness occurs because the immune system produces antibodies that attack and destroy the receptors for acetylcholine, a chemical that transmits messages from the nerve to the muscle. As a result, the muscle doesn’t receive the necessary signals to contract and becomes weak.

In severe cases, the weakness can affect the muscles involved in breathing, leading to a myasthenic crisis, which is a medical emergency characterized by extreme muscle weakness and difficulty breathing. This can be a life-threatening situation and requires immediate medical attention.

Heather Finlay-Morreale is a pediatrician.

Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon | Nano Hospitals, Hulimavu Bangalore
This basically indicates that there is a pain and inflammation of the small joints. These are the smaller joints where there is pain. The commonest reason for this is a trauma. There is a major trauma and a minor trauma based on the history we will be able to know and based on the examination we will be able to know whether it is a trauma related , but more so common with a spontaneous pain in the hand joint and the finger joints is called as inflammatory arthritis were there area different arthritis of the inflammatory arthritis. The commonest in the inflammatory arthritis is the post viral. Of late we see a lot of small joint arthritis following viral fever. After sometimes the patient will find pain in the fingers and the joints and there will be morning stiffness and we will feel more so pain in the morning. As you keep using the finger joints, you will feel better these are the classical signs and there are more serious forms of reactive arthritis or more severe forms of inflammatory arthritis, it can be classified as rheumatoid arthritis. But that has to be labeled based on the ACL criteria. So I would suggest you to visits an orthopedic surgeon or a rheumatologist whether any of the serious inflammatory arthritis is present there or not.

Dr. Leslie Sisco-Wise and Dr. Ross Dunbar discuss what causes trigger finger and how to treat it. Dr. Sisco-Wise says, “Most people in the beginning will complain of pain in the palm and then over time it’s actually where you get a clicking of the tendon that’s getting stuck and the finger may get stuck.”

NIH-funded researchers discovered that people with disorders traditionally thought to be distinct — autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, major depression and schizophrenia — were more likely to have suspect genetic variation at the same four chromosomal sites. Bruce Cuthbert, Ph.D., director of NIMH’s Division of Adult Translational Research, explains the significance of the study findings for diagnosis and treatment of mental illnesses.
