치매(dementia)는 라틴에게서 유래된 말로서 '정신이 없어진 것' 이라는 의미를 갖고 있다. 태어날 때부터 지적 능력이 모자라는 경우를 정신지체(mental retardation)라고 부르는 반면, 치매는 후천적인 뇌질환이다. 즉, 정상적으로 생활해 오던 사함이 후천적인 뇌 손상으로 인하여 기억력, 언어능력, 방향감각, 판단력 등의 인지기능을 잃어가는 것이다. 또한 이런 인지 기능 장애가 심각하여 일상생활에 상당한 지장이 나타날 때 치매라고 한다.

생명과학의 발달로 사람의 수명이 늘고 있지만 뇌졸증과 치매, 파킨슨병 같은 노인성 질환도 늘고 있어 65세 이상 노인의 14%가 이러한 질병으로 고통을 받고 있다. 미국ㆍ일본 등 선진국에서 이러한 노인성 뇌질환 연구에 박차를 가하고 있는 가운데 아주대 의과대학은 '뇌졸증 및 치매의 중재요법 연구센터'를 설립해 최근 Sulfasalazine을 비롯 신경세포를 보호하는 물질을 다수 발견해 뇌질환의 예방과 치료에 획기적인 계기를 마련하고 있다.

Due to aging society, the prevalence of dementia is continually increasing and, thereby, causing a serious issue. Although Long Term Care Insurance is provided on a national level, it is not available for the elderly with dementia who do not satisfy the requirements. As the use of smartphones becomes widespread, this study investigated an application that can help disease management of the elderly with the early-stage (mild) dementia and communication among the family members based on analysis of the functions found in currently-available applications and survey among the relevant subjects. As a research method, based on review of the relevant theoretical studies, the service environment of applications available for the elderly with mild dementia was analyzed. Through this analysis, it found out that there is no application for the eldery with mild dementia. On the basis of the results, this study proposed a direction for design planning of an application included many functions like managements of taking medicine, physical activity, brain activity, information on dementia and notes. for dementia management aimed to help the patients with mild dementia manage the disease on their own. If this type of services are expanded in addition to the systemic support from the government, the data collected from these applications can contribute to improving management of mild dementia.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cognitive programs on cognitive function improvement in patients with mild dementia. The subjects were 30 patients with mild dementia. The subjects were applied the cognitive rehabilitation program three times a week for 6 weeks and analyzed the pre-experiment and post-experiment values through the Korean simplified mental state examination (MMSE-K). The results were as follows: The mean of test was increased and statistically significant. Thus, cognitive rehabilitation programs for patients with mild dementia are effective interventions to improve cognitive function in patients with dementia.

As the aging society continues in recent years, interest in dementia is increasing. Among them, Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disease that accounts for the largest percentage of all dementia patients, with the medical community currently not offering clear prevention and treatment for Alzheimer's disease, and the importance of early treatment and early prevention is emphasized. In this paper, we intend to find the most efficient activation function by combining various activation functions centering on convolutional neural networks using MRI datasets of normal people and patients with Alzheimer's disease. In addition, it is intended to be used as a dementia classification modeling suitable for the medical field in the future through Alzheimer's dementia classification modeling.

Over the past decades, the immense clinical need for early detection methods and treatments for dementia has become a priority worldwide. The advances in PET biomarkers play increasingly important roles in understanding disease mechanisms by demonstrating the protein pathology underlying dementia in the brain. Amyloid-β and tau deposition in PET images are now key diagnostic biomarkers for the Alzheimer's disease continuum. The inclusion of biomarkers in the diagnostic criteria has achieved a paradigm shift in facilitating early differential diagnosis, predicting disease prognosis, and influencing clinical management. Furthermore, in vivo images showing pathology could become prognostic as well as surrogate biomarkers in therapeutic trials. In this review, we focus on recent developments in radiotracers for amyloid-β and tau PET imaging in Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Further, we introduce their potential application as future perspectives.

Since the late 1990s, public nursing hospitals have been established, and as of 2018, 79 hospitals account for 5.1% of all nursing hospitals. Announcing the public Moon Jae-in dementia in the state government responsibility for the convalescent hospital with dementia to patients for specified to the hospital with severe dementia specialist care institution. A different policy options and development. In this regard, the Dementia Management Act was revised in 2018 to provide a legal basis for the operation evaluation of public nursing hospitals, and this evaluation will begin in 2020. As part of the study to conduct the operation evaluation of public nursing hospitals to be implemented from 2020, the research established a function to foster public nursing hospitals as specialized institutions for dementia patients and competent institutions for treating rehabilitation patients during the period of recovery, and developed an evaluation system to evaluate their behavior as medical services, public nature and public institutions.

Selected cognitive ability test and survey of basic & problem characteristics were conducted on 110 hospitalized senile dementia patients to extract important problem features. Twenty important problem features were extracted by the factor analysis. In this study, the precedence of the risk of 20 problem features was determined for care of senile dementia patients. Questionnaire was conducted on 32 clinical psychologists who had experienced the diagnosis and treatment of senile dementia patients. Using AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), relative risk levels were studied and the precedence of risk was determined by making 20 important problem features in order of the risk. Results of two analyses indicated that during normal daily activities of senile dementia patients the cognitive problem such as memory impairment, judgement disorder and disorientation is the most dangerous risk factor.

The purpose of this study was to extract important problem features for care of senile dementia patients. Selected cognitive ability test (Korean Mini-Mental State Examination: K-MMSE) and survey of basic & problem characteristics were conducted on 110 hospitalized senile dementia patients and 30 normal subjects. Problem features of senile dementia patients were extracted using factor analysis. The frequency difference of problem features due to the gender and dementia severities was verified using one-way ANOVA. Twenty problem features were extracted by the factor analysis. According to the gender, there are significant differences in the frequency of problem features in violent language & confabulation, collecting behavior, and repetitive behavior. According to the dementia severities, there are significant differences in the frequency of all problem features except abnormal sexual behavior and audio-visual disorder. The result of this study is expected to be used for the development of the senile dementia patients' life-care monitoring system.

Imbecility, Parkinson's disease, the brain disease occurrence rate such as motor nerve disease are increasing rapidly since 1980 years, according to the Britain, the United States of America, Japan, Germany, result that investigate the spanish occurrence rate, was expose that imbecility mortality including Alzheimer's disease increased more than man case 3 triple and man and woman of brain disease mortality increases by about 50% with Parkinson's disease and motor nerve disease. <중략> first of all, courtesy call is important.
