Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related, non-reversible brain disorder that develops over a period of years. Initially, people experience memory loss and confusion, which may be mistaken for the kinds of memory changes that are sometimes associated with normal aging. However, the symptoms of AD gradually lead to behavior and personality changes, a decline in cognitive abilities such as decision-making and language skills, and problems recognizing family and friends. AD ultimately leads to a severe loss of mental function. These losses are related to the worsening breakdown of the connections between certain neurons in the brain and their eventual death. AD is one of a group of disorders called dementias that are characterized by cognitive and behavioral problems. It is the most common cause of dementia among people age 65 and older.

The NYU study offers fresh evidence that gum inflammation may contribute to brain inflammation, neurodegeneration, and Alzheimer's disease. The research team, led by Dr. Angela Kamer, Assistant Professor of Periodontology & Implant Dentistry, examined 20 years of data that support the hypothesis of a possible causal link between...

While the exact cause of sundown syndrome is not known, many speculate people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia have somehow had their biological clock altered because of a reduction in brain function.  With an altered internal clock, people with Alzheimer’s and dementia are suspected to have difficulty regulating behaviour and activity associated with different times of the day. Several researchers have also theorized that sundown syndrome may be associated with a drop in blood pressure after a meal, hunger or changes in blood glucose levels may trigger periods of confusion and agitation. In dealing with sundown syndrome, Alzheimer’s disease caregivers are often left determining what causes the periods of agitation and confusion.  Sundown syndrome triggers can vary greatly from Alzheimer’s patient to Alzheimer’s patient, leaving caregivers often at a loss at how to calm the patient.
