Urinary Incontinence -- Follow Up with Kerry Runyeon

We contingency have a couple of people celebration of a mass this blog which have a little new, different, or innovative ideas. we meant urinary incontinence can expostulate we nuts. So there contingency be a little people upon a attack as well as creation headway.....By Bob DeMarco


Before we get into urinary incontinence, we wish to contend a couple of difference about Kerry Runyeon. Kerry has a good blog which is just full of life. we read her blogging since it makes me smile, makes me feel happy, as well as reminds me of a challenges of a Alzheimer's caregiver. Reminds me we am not alone, as well as which there have been most many of us dealing with a same, or similar issues day in as well as day out.

Kerry writes with a smile. we mostly consider to myself, we should try to do which some-more often.

Here is a brand new example from Living in a moment with Lilybird -- Last Twelve Hours.

Today Kerry posted a criticism below a article -- Conquering Urinary Incontinence -- The First Bladder Infection of a Year.

Here it is:

My complaint with my mom during present is not daytime incontinence though nighttime. Does your mom stay dry all night? All your problems with a depends or pads remind why we do not consider they will work with my mom. As of right away we am starting to try removing her up (around 11pm or midnight) as well as afterwards again around 6:30am as well as see if which works. If not we may have to try a depends though feel we will have a same problems we gifted with that.

__________________________
Here is my response:

Kerry...

Great questions.

We have this aristocrat size bed which is actually dual single mattresses upon top. This is why we can respond to your question.

Occasionally, we get my mom to nap upon a single side as well as we nap upon a other. we do this so we know what she is doing during night.

She still gets up once (rarely twice) a night as well as goes to a bathroom. Sometimes she does have a large volume. This surprises me. we make certain she goes right prior to she gets in bed. All of this still seems to dazzle me. Mostly, which she gets up as well as goes.

Sometimes, we have zero in a morning. Sometimes she throws her panties in a penetrate overnight as well as puts her pajama bottom behind on. A couple of drops, minor problem. Usually only a panties gets wet. And, not unequivocally wet, slightly wet maybe.

I additionally put out an extra pajama bottom upon her bed during night. Sometimes she changes. She customarily changes a bottom initial thing in a morning.

I consider a key is which we get her to go to a lavatory each dual hours during a day. The goal is to settle a pattern. She does try to resist during times. But, we have which complaint about 95 percent underneath control.

I spend a lot of time reminding her which when she has to go -- it is as well late. we am not saying she remembers this, though we consider it is probable which a settlement gets determined in an additional part of her brain. Can't unequivocally contend for sure, though we believe in patterns.

I have tried everything we could imagine upon a depends, etc. They come right off. They explain which a little sufferers will get make make use of of to them. Not yet in our case.

This competence be a difference. My mom doesn't go to bed until eleven PM. Sometimes she gets up around 7 30 AM. we try as well as be quiet, though if she hears me in a sunrise she gets up. Immediate outing to a lavatory no make a difference what times she gets up.

My mom as well as we have a little kind of we do not need most nap gene. Mom make make use of of to go to bed past midnight as well as get up around 6 AM. we frequency nap some-more than seven hours.

My mom does nap well as well as soundly during night since we combined Clonindine -- it knocks her out. When she gets up during night, she gets right behind in bed as well as goes right behind to sleep. Knock upon wood, it was not regularly this way.

I consider if we can get your mom up early it could help. My guess is if they do not consider we have to pee, they can make it to a lavatory in a morning. Again, we have no idea if which is true though it seems likely it to me.

I get my mom to pee around 9 PM as well as prior to she gets in bed.

In our box here is a good news. Not a single dump of pee in a bed or upon a sheet. we check everyday. we additionally check a pad.

Who knows what a destiny will bring?

If we come up with any solutions greatfully let us know.

I read your blog as well as we know we have a good certain attitude. Get positive, consider positive, as well as will it to happen. Might sound crazy, though we consider we can do it.

I mostly put my conduct upon my mother's conduct as well as tell her we am lending her my brain. we additionally try as well as shoot a little wordless messages in during a same time.

Guess it sounds crazy, though here is a single thing we know for sure. It can't hurt.

Bob

Is Pfizer Medivation's Dimebon a $1.5 Billion Blockbuster Drug ?

Medivation (MDVN) is approaching to release a formula of a Phase 3 clinical hearing of Dimebon in a not to distant future. Dimebon is written for a treatment of Alzheimer's disease.....By Bob DeMarco


Pfizer Medivation previously announced a Dimebon CONNECTION investigate formula would be expelled during a initial half of 2010.

There is great expectancy not usually in a Alzheimer's community but amongst investors.

Alzheimer's mildew effects some-more than 5 million people in a United States, as well as some-more than 30 million worldwide. These numbers have been approaching to three times by 2050.

As we look opposite a Internet we am noticing which multiform reputable investigate analysis have been forecasting annual sales of $1 to $1.5 billion if Dimebon is authorized by a Food as well as Drug Administrtion (FDA). Current sales of drug for Alzheimer's, together with Pfizer's (PFE) Aricept, already surpass $5 billion.

Judging by a series of Google searches for Dimebon, as well as a series of searches entrance to a Alzheimer's Reading Room via Google, we believe it is safe to contend which Dimebon is upon a minds of many of a Alzheimer's community. The series of searches for Dimebon exceeds a series of searches for all alternative initial drug right away in clinical trials as well as focused upon Alzheimer's disease. The same would be loyal of a emails we receive upon a Alzheimer's Reading Room.

Medivation's (MDVN) CONNECTION investigate is a center piece of a initial studies with Dimebon. CONNECTION is a six-month, confirmatory, main Phase 3 hearing of a investigational drug Dimebon in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. The pass word here is: confirmatory.

Patients in a CONNECTION investigate have been not taking any alternative Alzheimer's drug. Dimebon's efficacy will be totalled by both a ADAS-cog (Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale-cognitive subscale) as well as CIBIC-plus (Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change) tests. These have been ordinarily used measures of cognition, mental recall as well as overall clinical duty used to consider Alzheimer's patients. Over time, a ADAS-cog as well as CIBIC-plus scores of an Alzheimer studious decrease as a studious gradually loses memory, as well as loses a ability to do normal bland functions.

The purpose of a CONNECTION investigate is to determine if Dimebon can improve a patient's cognitive as well as overall duty for a duration to time, or during least delayed a progression of a Alzheimer's disease.

Here is a candid comparison. Aricept, a series one selling Alzheimer's drug, demonstrated a 3-point alleviation in ADAS-cog over remedy in a six-month main study.

In Medivation's main proviso dual study, a ADAS-cog great for Dimebon over remedy was 5.9 points during 9 months as well as 6.9 points during one year. Dimebon demonstrated statistically poignant improvements in memory, discernment behavior as well as overall function. Remarkable or as well great to be true? The formula were met with lots of skepticism in a systematic community.

We have been right away available a formula for six-month, confirmatory, main Phase 3 hearing of Dimebon.

It should be noted which a proviso dual Dimebon investigate formula were published in a prestigious British medical biography The Lancet in Jul 2008. This gives a initial commentary one some-more credibility. This added scrutiny of Dimebon should get your attention.

One issue which we will be looking during closely is how a patients upon a Placebo measure upon a tests. There is systematic justification which patients stay out of nursing homes longer when participating in clinical trials of initial drug -- even when a initial drug do not work. There is additionally justification which investigate participants great almost from a frequent, high-quality medical courtesy they receive as partial of a clinical trial. These commentary can be an issue in a formula of any clinical trial.

Pfizer Medivation has one some-more clinical trials with Dimebon going upon right now. The drug is being in tested in combination with Aricept; and, is additionally being tested separately in combination with Namenda.

It is at large well known which a Dimebon CONNECTION investigate is for Alzheimer's patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. we do not consider it is at large know which Dimebon is right away being tested in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer's Disease. There is no exisitng drug which is written to work opposite a entire spectrum of Alzheimer's -- mild-moderate-severe Alzheimer's disease.

If Medivation's Dimebon proves out upon possibly front -- mild-moderate or moderate-severe this could spin into a blockbuster drug. Both fronts as well as a sky is a limit.

Caregivers with family members as well as spouses suffering from Alzheimer's mildew have been already impatiently waiting for a Dimebon clinical hearing test formula as well as a outcome from a FDA. If a drug gains approval, doctors will be inundated with telephone calls for appointments. The usually negative we can see for a Alzheimer's community is which this drug is going to be EXPENSIVE.

My theory is which this drug, by itself, will send older citizens into or nearby a Medicare donut hole by my birthday each year --August 12th. Ouch.

To review one some-more information about a CONNECTION investigate as well as about ongoing Dimebon clinical trials -- go here.

Beautiful Does Not Always Mean Better

The bottom line is some-more income or reduction income doesnt shift a hearts of a people offering to caring for your desired one. They possibly have a right heart or they dont ....By Angil Tarach RN GCM


I usually finished celebration of a mass Do You Really Get to Choose a Facility for a Dementia Patient?

As a article started we approaching it to go into what an horrible place a hospital had sent Great Grams. The article didnt go as we expected, as well as since of what was written, we have decided to take this article further.

In my 30+ years in comparison caring as well as advocacy we have outlayed an incredible volume of time in prolonged tenure caring facilities. we have seen a best, a worst, as well as everything in between.

What we know is many people bottom their decision or opinion of a nursing home upon a dcor, as well as a scent. People who havent had any knowledge or many bearing to prolonged tenure caring comforts have a thought which if a place is code brand brand new as well as beautiful, as well as doesnt smell of urine it contingency be good.

Lets usually residence a fragrance as well as get which out of a way. There have been lots of odors in nursing homes. What isnt understood is a little have been proxy as well as a little have been permanent. If a seat and/or carpet have been repeatedly contaminated by urine it becomes a permanent smell in a trickery as well as this is a definite red dwindle to avoid this a single like a plague! You will in all usually know if we see multiform mark outlines upon a seat or floors or revisit some-more than once during different times.

There have been in all quite a couple of residents in any prolonged tenure caring trickery who suffer with incontinence. There have been additionally regular times of a day when a staff is tending to those residents, such as first thing in a morning, after breakfast as well as prior to lunch, prior to shift change, after lunch as well as dinner, during bedtime, as well as during a night. Typically there will be we estimate 6 or so incontinence caring rounds by a staff in a 24 hour period, not together with individual unscheduled care.

If we revisit or debate a trickery during any of those times, we many expected will knowledge odors we would rsther than not. If a trickery is providing great care, these will be proxy odors, though your impression will be this place smells like urine.

Understanding a trickery report can assistance we understand which usually since we smell unpleasant odors in a trickery doesnt meant this is a constant smell your family part of will be exposed to. we recommend visiting during different times to know for certain possibly a fragrance is proxy or permanent, as well as keep your eyes open for signs of bad care.

Now to dcor. we have outlayed time in a many pleasing code brand brand brand new comforts to a oldest as well as out of date places. we have regularly said a usually disproportion in between a rich nursing homes as well as a bad ones is a dcor. There have been 2 internal comforts which come to mind. One is sincerely code brand brand new as well as beautifully decorated, a other old, run down as well as outdated. As we can design a newer trickery has some-more in isolation compensate residents as well as patients, as well as a aged a single has some-more residents upon Medicaid, who cannot means to secretly pay.

Because we have outlayed considerable time in both we have seen a lot. What might warn we is a disproportion in care. Many would design there would be improved caring when a studious is secretly profitable since they could move themselves as well as their income roughly anywhere. Medicaid patients have many reduction freedom of choice since they can usually stay in a Medicaid authorized bed.

How a bed/room is paid for doesnt indispensably meant a thing. In a instance of a 2 comforts we have in mind, nothing could be serve from a truth! The caring in a newer as well as beautifully flashy trickery is not great during all, as well as apparently is not getting any better, since we have people requesting for employment with us which have been revelation us they have been leaving or have left there since its so bad. They contend there have been little or no competent supplies, they have been intensely reduced staffed, as well as a administration department doesnt care. The staff walks around miserable, as well as a operative environment is unpleasant. They have been sad for a patients as well as cant do it anymore.

The aged as well as rundown trickery cares deeply for a patients. At a single time this trickery had a bad reputation. New owners took over multiform years ago, as well as a caring improved greatly. The sad thing is people who heard about their formerly bad reputation, as well as have not outlayed time there since a code brand brand new owners, still hold its a distressing place. When we was a hospice as well as home health nurse we had multiform patients during any since time there. My patients were regularly clean, comfortable, as well as were treated well by a staff. Whenever we had to plead orders with a staff part of they were regularly pleasant, receptive, as well as longed for a most appropriate for a patient. The staff were amatory as well as cheerful with a patients, as well as combined a homey feeling.

I have a current customer who we have helped take caring of in her home for a last 5 years. Once a year her family goes upon vacation as well as wants her placed in a trickery whilst they have been gone. we recommended a aged trickery we have been articulate about. By a way, this studious lives in a family members home who is a physician, so they have been not preoccupied to caring expectations. Anyway, they took my letter of reference as well as have placed their desired a single in this trickery for a week or so every year for a last 5 years. The family has been utterly happy with a caring their desired a single has perceived whilst they have been upon vacation. This person receives prudent caring during home, so we know their expectations have been high.

Do we consider this studious would get a same wonderful caring in a newer pleasing facility? Absolutely not! Did this family wonder where we was referring them when they first visited this aged nursing home? Im certain they did.

This is a single e.g. of thousands across a country. You will find great caring as well as horrible caring in a many pleasing of facilities, as well as a most appropriate as well as misfortune in a oldest as well as many old-fashioned facilities.

You would now design a disproportion to be a staff, as well as we have been right, though there is more. It unequivocally comes down to a owners as well as administration. The disproportion in staff is since of a disproportion in a people using these facilities. If a owner(s) as well as administrative staff unequivocally have caring as a priority, they will hire as well as retain great staff as well as not hire or cancel a staff which doesnt encounter their expectations. They facilitate a environment as well as operative conditions for a staff, as well as lead a warm, caring, as well as compassionate group of individuals since of their example.

The exact opposite is loyal when a owners proclivity is essentially financial. All owners have to take into comment a financial aspect of a facility, though is it a proclivity behind a facility? If we can discuss it me because a person opened a facility, we can flattering many discuss it we what kind of caring to expect.

If a owners is usually endangered about how many income they make, their regard is to have enough warm bodies in a office building to encounter state requirements, as well as using a place great enough to keep beds full as well as get by inspections as well as stay open. They have been not endangered about how many their staff care, how a staff is treated, as well as possibly or not they have been happy in their jobs. They ignore complaints, as well as overlook bad care.

You can regularly find a little people who indeed caring in a bad comforts as well as bad staff in a great ones, though possibly way they wont stay.

I hope this enlightens those who will face determining trickery placement.

The bottom line is some-more income or reduction income doesnt shift a hearts of a people offering to caring for your desired one. They possibly have a right heart or they dont as well as no volume of pleasing seat or draperies will let we know about a sort of caring they provide.

What is The Virtual Dementia Tour program?

Imagine yourself in a fair funhouse. You step inside as well as a lights go dim. You can hardly see what's in front of we so we strech out your arms to feel your approach along a walls, but this is no use.....By Bob DeMarco


The Virtual Dementia Tour is a, hands-on, experiential apparatus pack created for any a single seeking to assimilate a physical as well as mental hurdles of those pang from Alzheimer's as well as dementia.

In short, it is a apparatus which gives we a form of dementia, as well as allows we to knowledge what it is similar to to be pang from dementia. This is a commutation tool. A apparatus designed to let we feel as well as assimilate what your loved a single competence be feeling similar to during any point in time. As such, it is designed to help we urge communication by giving we a knowledge of dementia.

The vital claim is which a Virtual Dementia Tour gives we a window "into their world". I attempted it. It works.

Interestingly, I believe this apparatus would work best if it were tested by siblings as well as family groups of a ONE -- a Alzheimer's caregiver. This would give any alien a good bargain of a behaviors which Alzheimer's caregivers see, face, as well as understanding with all day prolonged every day of a week. Key difference here -- consolation for a caregiver, sympathy for a person pang from Alzheimer's disease.

While we do a Virtual Dementia Tour we turn completely irrational as well as disconcerted. Your brain just won't do what we wish it to do. Imagine that.

The practical insanity module was developed by P. K. Beville of Second Wind Dreams. Second Wind Dreams focuses upon those vital in eldercare communities or in hospice care.

The Virtual Dementia Tour was featured upon ABCs Nightline in July. They have an glorious article as well as a video where Primetime's Cynthia McFadden participates in a experiment. She describes a knowledge as "very humbling". To read as well as watch go here.

To revisit Second Wind Dreams go here.

I also wish to thank P.K. Beville for her continued await as well as frequent mentions of a Alzheimer's Reading Room.

Rember It's Back, or Is It?

Rember is presumably a brand brand brand brand new version of an existent containing alkali substance, methylene blue (MTC), but modified to be used as a drug for a diagnosis as well as impediment of Alzheimers.....
By Bob DeMarco

Rember bloody upon to a Alzheimer's scene in 2008. No headlines as well as not a single press recover from a company given Jul 2008. Not until today.

The Express.co.uk is reporting which Taurx is looking 80 million pounds to account outrageous clinical trials in a U.S. as well as U.K. The essay fundamentally regurgitates a same inform as well as sensational claims which were first made in July, 2008.
_________________________________________

TauRx Therapeutics was a large hit during a International Conference upon Alzheimer's Disease (ICAD) in 2008. They reported upon an extraordinary brand brand brand brand new experiment Alzheimer's drug -- rember.

The headlines recover direct from ICAD created a tidal call of press as well as headlines upon television when a company made this claim:
New investigate commentary point to a brand brand brand brand new diagnosis which appears to delayed a progress of Alzheimer's by 81% over a year. The product - rember - is a first drug to action to detain a progression of Alzheimer's mildew by targeting a tangles which have been rarely correlated with a disease.With a imprimatur of a Alzheimer's Association, experts hailing a study as a vital growth in a quarrel opposite Alzheimer's, as well as a lead scientist Dr. Claude Wischik of a University of Aberdeen raving, one could have resolved which a heal for Alzheimer's was possible.
We have demonstrated for a first time which it may be possible to detain progression of a mildew by targeting a tangles which have been rarely correlated with a disease, Professor Wischik said. This is a most significant growth in a diagnosis of a tangles given Alois Alzheimer discovered them in 1907.
And then, a story died. Not a single story or square of inform which a experimental drug contrast was moving forward.

A discerning check of a TauRx website will yield nothing. It appears which a last time a site was updated was upon Jul 30, 2008. The date of a announcement. The site itself was thrown up in promptness as well as is reduction than impressive.

A poke upon a Alzheimer's Association website yields zero brand brand brand brand new given Jul 30, 2008. In fact a couple to a ICAD press recover is broken, no longer available.

As an x-Wall Street try capitalist we have been wondering for some time because didn't this company embrace immediate financing for a phase 3 clinical trial?

One reason could be because there has never been a judgment published about rember in a systematic journal.

Another reason which comes to mind could be which a drug is a ostensible brand brand brand brand new plan of an existent containing alkali substance methylene blue. Among alternative ailments MTC has been used in a past to provide urinary tract infections as well as alternative conditions. Could a brand brand brand brand new plan of something which has been around for thirty years actually be patented? Stranger things have happened, so I'll leave which one to a attorney's.

I did consider getting a compound manufactured as well as perplexing it upon my mother. After all a referred to dose is now in a open domain -- twenty mg, three times a day.

A word of notice here, it turns your pee blue. This lead to one interesting comment we read. The writer speculated, how do we run a stand in blind clinical hearing if your pee turns blue. Did a placebo also spin a urine of a control group blue? If not, it would be pretty easy to know if we were receiving a drug or a placebo.

I cannot find any justification which TauRx has been postulated approval by a FDA to conduct a Phase 3 clinical trial. Impossible to raise capital under those circumstances.

One has to consternation if a Alzheimer's Association performed any due industry prior to usurpation a paper for ICAD 2008. After all, it was a Alzheimer's Association acceptance of a scholarship as well as press recover which triggered a headlines frenzy which followed.

Perhaps they can inform us of a current state of affairs, as well as because a clinical trials have been not moving forward.

Rember was heralded as a possible heal for Alzheimer's.

Professor Wischik has been working upon this for twenty-six years, his words.

Medpage Today did run an excellent inform upon rember as well as a claims of a scientist back in July, 2008.
