  SOJ Neurology and Neuroscience - (SOJNN)| 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...

  Innovative Journal of Neurology and Neuroscience | Stephy Publishers Abstract The older persons with dementia will occupy more hospital beds in the years to come. Caring for a patient living with dementia is challenging for the hospital staff, especially for those exhibiting neuropsychiatric symptoms. Providing person centred care has been recognised as the ideal model of care for the persons with dementia. However, this care model is time consuming and requires training and education. Provision of good care in the hospital for the older persons with dementia include avoidance of restraints, prescription of psychotropics, in-hospital fall reduction, minimising risk of cognitive and functional decline with discharge home to their families and loved ones.Person centred care is effective in the acute setting,with proper training, guidance and leadership.   Keywords Dementia, Falls, Restraints, Person-Centred Care, Neuropsychiatric Symptoms Introduction Dementia represent...
