Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To develop nursing care utilizing the emotion of person with dementia, I am researching brain imaging to clarify evidence of the emotions of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The purpose of this research is to study the relation between the atrophy of the amygdala and its projection area in the brain and Behavioral and Psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD).The subjects were a group of patients with AD (ADG : 29, 6 males, 23 females : average age; 80.7 years old : average of MMSE, 20 points), and a control group (21, 6 males, 21 females : average age; 74.1 years old : average of MMSE;28 points). I investigated Behavioral and Psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) used Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Nursing Home Version (NPI-NH-J).I analyzed brain atrophy used magnetic resonance imaging (3T )and Voxel-Based Morphometry, and compared ADG with control group in each BPSD. The atrophy of amygdala and hippocampus was related with 3 sub-scores of NPI-NH-J (Anxiety, Irritability/Lability, Apathy).
