Circadian rhythm sleep disorder Ppts and latest 300 published articles



Circadian rhythm sleep disorder

Circadian rhythm sleep disorders are a family of sleep disorders affecting, among other things, the timing of sleep. People with circadian rhythm sleep disorders are unable to sleep and wake at the times required for normal work, school, and social needs. They are generally able to get enough sleep if allowed to sleep and wake at the times dictated by their body clocks. Unless they also have another sleep disorder, their sleep is of normal quality.

Palliative care of advanced dementia



Palliative care of advanced dementia A patient centered approach
By:VJ Periyakoil, MD
Director, Palliative Care Fellowship Program
Stanford University General Internal Medicine &
VA Palo Alto Health Care System


Main Message
* Currently, patients with dementia do not get access to quality palliative care
* Access to quality palliative care can be facilitated only if we take an inter-disciplinary approach to care


Talk Agenda
* Current state of palliative care for dementia
* Key challenges in providing palliative care for dementia patients
+ Prognostication
+ Decision making
+ Advance care plan
+ Symptom management
+ Caregiver stress

Prognostication questions in dementia
* Patient’s question: “How long do I have before my mind is shot?”
* Health professional’s question: “ Is s/he eligible for palliative care?”
* Family’s question: “How long does s/he have to live ?”
* Caregiver’s question: “ I am exhausted. How much longer can I do this?”

Is dementia a terminal illness? If so, when do they start dying?

Dementia hospice eligibility
* Stage 7 or beyond according to the FAST scale
* Unable to ambulate without assistance
* Unable to dress without assistance
* Unable to bathe without assistance
* Urinary or fecal incontinence, intermittent or constant
* No meaningful verbal communication, stereotypical phrases only, or ability to speak limited to six or fewer intelligible words
* Plus one of the following within the past 12 months:
o Aspiration pneumonia
o Pyelonephritis or other upper UTI
o Septicemia
o Multiple stage 3 or 4 decubitus ulcers
o Fever that recurs after antibiotic therapy
o Inability to maintain sufficient fluid and calorie intake, with 10 percent weight loss during the previous six months or serum albumin level less than 2.5 g per dL (25 g per L)

Decision making in dementia
* Hierarchy of decision making
* Competence v. capacity
* Special circumstances

Special circumstances
Case 1: Incapacitated pt with no proxy and unknown preferences
Case 2: Chronically mentally ill pts with no capacity
Case 3: Chronically mentally ill pts with fluctuating capacity

Intact decision making prior to death in the elderly
Alzheimer’s Disease
Diseases other than Alzheimer’s
Lentzer HR et al “ The quality of life in the year before death”. Am J Public Health 82: 1093-1098, 1992
Interface between palliative care and dementia

* Clarity of decision making
o Soft balls ( relatively speaking):
o Hard balls

The decisions themselves are never easy.
Advance care planning
Shades of Gray
Possible levels of care:
Heroic life prolonging measures
* CPR
* “Whopper no veggie*”
* Artificial nutrition
* Artificial hydration
* Antibiotics

What are the goals of care?

Tube feed or not tube feed?
That’s the question
* The facts:
Palliative care symptoms and cognitive impairment
Symptoms
Presentation of these symptoms is skewed
What does dying look like?

* Decline in functional status
* Lack of desire to eat or drink
* Withdrawn
* Sleep- wake state
* Mottling of limbs
* Jaw movement
* Death rattle
* Co-morbid symptoms
* Unpaid
* Overworked
* On-call 24/7
* Sleep deprived
* No social life
* Poor support system

Geropsychiatry: Delirium and Dementia



Geropsychiatry: Delirium and Dementia
By:Robert Averbuch, MD
Assistant Professor
Department of Psychiatry

Disorders of Cognition
* DSM-IV devotes an entire section to a subset of “organic” disorders that primarily affect cognition: “Delirium, Dementia, and Amnestic and other Cognitive Disorders”

What is “organic”?
* Previous differentiation between mental disorders with a clear “physical or biological” etiology (Organic) and those without (“Functional” or “Primary”)
* Falsely implied that Functional (or primary) disorders have no underlying pathophysiological basis
* Primary mental disorder- not due to a GMC or substance

Disorders of Cognition
* Delirium-disturbance in consciousness and cognition that develops rapidly
* Dementia- multiple cognitive deficits that include memory disturbance
* Amnestic Disorder- primarily memory impairment

Delirium
Delirium: defined
* Disturbance of consciousness (awareness of the environment) and attention,
* PLUS…
o Changes in cognition (ie, “thinking”-memory, orientation, language, etc) OR
o Perceptual disturbances

The Course of Delirium
* Evolves rapidly (hrs to days)
* Usually resolves rapidly as well:
o May be self-limited, persist for weeks, or progress to death
* Degree of impairment fluctuates

Delirium: Associated Features
* Disturbance in sleep-wake cycle
* Easily distracted by irrelevant stimuli
* Changes in activity level
o Restlessness, hyperactivity
o Picking at clothes, getting out of bed
o OR hypoactivity (lethargy)
* Emotional disturbances- mood lability, anger, irritability, euphoria, apathy

Delirium: Associated Features
* Speech or language disturbances
* Perceptual abnormalities- common:
o Illusions, hallucinations, delusions
* Neurological deficits/dysfunction

What Are the Causes?
* DIRECT: Brain pathology: head injury, seizures (during and after), strokes, infections
* INDIRECT: Systemic Illness: electrolyte abnormalities, dehydration, uremia, hepatic encephalopathy, cardiovascular compromise

More Causes of Delirium
* Sensory deprivation
* After surgery (post-operative state)- ie. “ICU Psychosis”
* Side effects of medications or toxins or with abused recreational drugs:
“Substance-Induced Delirium”
o Ex. NMS (Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome)
o Ex. Serotonin Syndrome

Treating Delirium
* Considered a Medical Emergency
* Supportive care in an ICU setting
* Safety- close monitoring
* Remove offending agent, treat underlying cause

Dementia
Hallmark is Memory Impairment
* Memory problems usually evident early
* Memory impairment alone is not enough to make the diagnosis…

Dementia- defined
* Memory problems AND at least one additional cognitive deficit:
o Aphasia
o Apraxia
o Agnosia
o Problems with “executive functioning”

Details, Details: Aphasia
* Aphasia is a drop off in language function that shows up in a variety of ways

Apraxia
* “impaired ability to pantomime the use of known objects or to execute known motor acts”

Agnosia
* Trouble recognizing or identifying things despite intact sensations (ex. You can see fine, but you can’t recognize a stop sign)
* May include difficulty recognizing family members or even themselves in the mirror

Disturbances in Executive Functioning
* Abstract thinking
* Planning, initiating, sequencing, and stopping behaviors
* May manifest as trouble with novel tasks or new situations

Associated Features
* Spatial disorientation
* Poor insight and judgment means…they get themselves in trouble by overestimating their abilities and underestimating risks
* Perceptual Abnormalities:
o Delusions- especially persecution
o Hallucinations- especially visual

More associated features
* Personality Changes:
o Disinhibition
o Neglect of personal hygiene
o Apathy and withdrawal

Course of Dementia
* Course may be progressive, static, or remitting
* Small percentage of cases are reversible

What causes Dementia?
* Alzheimer’s is by far the most common type
* Cerebrovascular Disease
* Degenerative Diseases: Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, CJD (Mad Cow Disease)

More causes:
* Autoimmune Illness
o Lupus
o Multiple Sclerosis
* B12, Folate Deficiencies
* Head Trauma, Brain Tumors
* Infections- like HIV and Syphilis

Alzheimer’s
Dementia of the Alzheimer’s Type (DAT)
* Diagnosis of exclusion
* Hallmark: gradual onset of recent memory problems
* Onset may be early (65 y/o or younger) or Late (over 65)

DAT
* Slowly progressive (8-10 years from diagnosis to death)
* Many show personality changes
* Often with associated behavioral disturbances (wandering, agitation, etc.)

Vascular Dementia
Aka Multi-Infarct Dementia
Vascular Dementia
* Evidence of cerebrovascular disease on physical exam and head scans
* Usually caused by several strokes over time
* Onset abrupt, followed by stepwise, fluctuating course with “patchy” deficits

Treatment of Dementia
* Search for a reversible cause and treat (ex. B12 deficiency, Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus, Syphilis, etc)
* Rule out Pseudodementia (change in cognition associated with depression)
* Environmental/behavioral interventions- ex. no fail environment
* Medications

Medications
* Cholinesterase Inhibitors:
o Aricept (donepezil)
o Reminyl (galantamine)
o Exelon (rivastigmine)

Medications
* NMDA-receptor antagonists
o Namenda (memantine)
o Neuroprotective by blocking excessive glutamate stimulation of the NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor
