Dementia^[1]^[2]est grave et globale facultatiscognitivaedamnum inhomineolim non debilitato. Hoc damnum superat id, quod exsenectuteordinaria exspectari potest. Dementia est aut constans, effecta per singulare et globalevulneris cerebri,aut progressiva, sequens aliquemmorbum,e. g.Alzheimerianumet deminutionem diutinam efficiens. Quamquam dementia inter senes communior est, etiam ante aetatem 65 annorum fieri potest; quo facto,dementia praecoxappellatur.^[3]

Dementia non est morbus uniformis, sed potiussyndroma aegritudinisnon diserta (i.e., copia signorum etsymptomatum), in quibus adfectae cognitionis regiones suntmemoria,attentio,lingua,et solutio problematum.Diagnosisusitate requirit, ut symptomata saltem sex menses adsint.^[4];confusio cognitiva per tempora breviora, praecipue minus quam nonnullahebdomadaritedeliriumappellatur. In omnibus confusionum cognitivarum generibus, superioresfunctiones mentisin progressione morbi primum adficiuntur.

Hodie trestypi principalesdiscernuntur, tametsi saepe formae mixtae fiunt: dementia corticalis, dementia subcorticalis, et dementia frontalis. In dementiacorticaliimprimis memoria, calculatio, et lingua imminutae sunt, in dementia autemsubcorticali,res exsecutivae et celeritas cognitionis, in dementiafrontalidemumpersonalitas,iudicium, et arbitrium.

In cura aegrotorum cum dementia non raromorum et psychologica symptomata circum dementiamvalde onerose appareant.

Mala et morbi syndromam dementiae efficiens

Dementiasyndroma,non morbi eo ipso, cum deductionecognitionis memoriaeque,variis malis morbisque efficitur. Tabula adhuc non completa videatur:

Mala et morbi neurodegenerativi

Angiopathia amyloido cerebralis
Dementia cum corpusculis Leweyi— frequentia secunda generum degenerativorum dementia^[5];dementia velociter apparet, cum vigilantia fluctuante,alucinationibusopticis, instabilitate posturali, sed ambulatione non inhibita
Morbus Alzheimerianus— cum cursu tardivo
Morbus Creutzfeldt-Jakob— cum cursu rapido
Morbus Gerstmann et Sträussler et Scheinker
Morbus Huntington
Morbus Parkinson— dementia tarda (= non prius quam unum annum post symptomata motorica)

Morum et psychologica symptomata circum dementiam

In literatura internationali notio Anglicabehavioral and psychological symptoms of dementiacum abbreviaturaBPSDlegitur^[6].Quod est, in morbis dementivis non solum symptomata dementia (memoriae et cogitationis), sed etiam alia, ut:

Insomnia,perturbatio rhythmi circadiani
Timor,depressio
Hyperphagia (nimis edere)
Dolor^[7]
Mos aggressivus^[8]

Quaedam symptomatum horum non raro observari possunt, ut depressio et timor^[9].Non raro quoque cura et tractatio symptomatum istorum pondus maius quam dementiae ipsius requirit. Interventiones sint et non pharmacologicae et pharmacologicae.

De facultate disceptandi et autonomia in dementia

Ethica medicainter alias ad autonomiam aegroti spectat. In dementia non gravis facultas disceptandi haud impedita apparet^[10].Quo alter ad aegroti auxilium surrogatus est, saepe disceptationes pro aegrotis instituere res difficiles sunt^[11].

Dementiae pericula et praesidia contra dementiam

Pericula, quae processum dementiae incitare possint:

Auditus diminutus prae causis et centralibus et periphericis^[12]
Solitudocausa certorum morborum, ut dementiae Alzheimerianae, in suspicionem cecidit^[13],nuper anno 2021 investigationecardiacaFraminghamiensi dementiae Alzheimerianae iterum apparuit^[14].
Televisio^[15]
Schizophrenia.Putatur periculum dementiae apud schizophrenia afflictos homines augeri decies^[16].
