Dementia in Parkinson’s Disease: it’s Therapeutics| Stephy Publishers

Abstract

Background:Dementia is a cognitive degenerative disease generally associated with Alzheimer disease, but victims with Parkinson’s disease also develops dementia at the latter stage. Dementia associates with irreversible loss of memory, and no medicinal cure is yet available. We here put some light on possible cell therapy for dementia.

Aim: Neural stem cells are multipotent cells which are capable of self-replication and differentiation into neurons, astrocytes or oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system. They produce Dopamine, neural factors, and therefore, one can expect that NSC transplantation can ultimately provide a better therapeutic approach in the treatment of dementia as well as Parkinson’s disease (PD).

Methods: We discussed the merits and demerits of using hNSCs cells over other possible candidate cells.

Results: As we found that hNSCs can secrete Dopamine as well as some neurotropic factors, like Brain-Derived Neurotropic Factor (BDNF) and Glial cell-Derived Neurotropic Factors (GDNF) which can support the proliferation of hNSCS and its Dopamine production ability, hNSCs can supply dopamine and also can stop α-synuclein aggregation.

Conclusion: hNSCs, therefore, could be a better cell regiment for cell transplantation therapy for dementia as well as PD.

Possible therapies for dementia in PD

Introduction

Dementia is a broad term that stands for an irreversible loss of thinking ability, memory, and other mental capabilities. The cause is still unknown, but believed to be due to aging, loss of neural cells due to some neurotoxic agents, external brain injury, etc. However, Dementia/Alzheimer Disease is still considered as an idiopathic disease, like Parkinson’s Disease (PD).1,2

In fact, Dementia is not a disease, rather a group of symptoms caused by various conditions. Dementia generally associated with Alzheimer patient, but also found with PD, where the motor neuron defects, slow muscle movements, posture defects are the main classic symptoms.3 The scanty supply of Dopamine, a neurotransmitter, due to the loss of DA-ergic neural cells in the substantia nigra (SN), causes the development of PD4. The less availability of Dopamine in the Hippocampus region, the center of learning and memory in the brain, can also cause the damage of the brain cells there, and develops dementia.5

 Resilience, Risk-Taking Behavior and Aggression among Female Volleyball Players – a Preliminary Study The aim of the current study is to investigate the level of risk-taking behavior, resilience and aggression in female volleyball players and the link between these psychological variables and coach’s performance ranking. A Romanian volleyball team ranked 7th out of 11 in the A1 league in the national championship (2022-2023 period) participated at the study. The Romanian adaptation of the Brief Resilience Scale, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski’s Stimulating and Instrumental Risk Questionnaire, The Romanian adaptation of Makarowski's Aggression Questionnaire and Delphi method (evaluation of female volleyball players by coaches) were used. Analysis of the results reveals that athletes have a low level of perseverance (Go-Ahead factor), a low level of Foul play and a moderate to low level of assertiveness. Also, most athletes registered average or even low levels of resilience

 Chemo stratigraphic Profile of a Reservoir in Well “X” of Field “Y” Offshore Southern Gabon - Stephy Publishers In a bid to evaluate the elemental and mineralogical content of reservoir samples from the “X” well in the “Y” oil field offshore Southern Gabon, analyses were performed using XRD and XRF. The log view profile of the result inferred that Na, Mg, and Calcite were absent in the shallower series of the reservoir sandstones studied, this observation implies that they are soluble ions that had eroded and refer to warm and humid paleoclimate and a depositional environment that is arid, which corresponds to the continental crust as their source. The plot of Ti and FeO+Mg discriminate the deeper series of the reservoir sandstone samples from the shallower samples. The lower series showed heavier values which implies their origin from Oceanic Crust. These are also the pre-salt facies while the shallower series were more of continental origin and represent the post-salt facies. https:
