Answer 1

Memory problems: The best ways to improve memory are the healthy lifestyle measures: get plenty of exercise (thus extra circulation to brain), eat well with a vitamin supplement, don't smoke, use excessive alcohol, and do get plenty of sleep. In addition you can improve short-term memory by practice. Play memory games or puzzles. They are both relaxing and help your brain improve its performance.

Answer 2

Challenges!: Even dementia patients can learn and improve their memory when challenged, but not stressed. And that is a fine line to find!

Answer 3

How often?: Skip it once, probably not much. Skip it more often and the tuberculosis germ can become resistant to the inh, makes it worse for you (won't kill it off), and for the rest of us (development of multiple drug resistant tuberculosis). It is a real public health problem. You must take your meds.

Answer 4

Once/nothing: Missing one pill will not matter. Start taking it again as soon as you realize you missed a dose. Try not to miss another dose. If you repeatedly miss doses you risk treatment failure and the development of inh resistance in the tb.

Answer 5

Many: Smartphone/tablet, cards, voice recorder, notebook etc.

Answer 6

Memory aids: Some extremely intelligent people i know still carry a small wad of 3x5 cards with them so they can write down things they want to remember. Others use the notes section or app on their smart phones. Writing things down is the most effective memory aid there is. This website has additional suggestions as well : <a href="<a href="http://www.Bindependent.Com/hompg/look/memtech.Htm".

Answer 7

Possibly: Porphyria symptoms can include depression, confusion, hallucinations & delusions. These symptoms are most likely to occur during an acute attack. Other symptoms that one may experience during an attack could also affect thinking & memory. For examply, nausea & pain may decrease one's ability to concentrate, thereby affecting memory & attention span.

Answer 8

Could: There ae several types of porphyria with different symptoms, but some can cause damage to kidney and liver function and can be associated with high blood pressure - depending on severity all of these can impact on cognitive and memory functioning.

Answer 9

Maximizing function : Specialized memory care is set up to help people with dementia be the most functional that they can be. The idea is to compensate for someone's impairments by predictable schedules, a peer group, and easy availability of assistance with adequate supervision for safety. Look for a place that will work for someone with brain problems, not for a place that would have worked for the person before that.

Answer 10

Better match: The overall quality of care ( and caring) is primary but specialty units often have staff with better trading and experience working with these conditions which adds to the quality of care.

Answer 11

Memory loss care: Nursing homes or adult care centers who have specialized units to better care for patients with memory impairment. These units are safer for patients with memory loss issues and have staff trained to support and care for patients affected with dementia and memory impairments.

Answer 12

Depends on context: In general this refers to a place for people with significant memory problems to live where the staff have special training. There are no national or federal standards in place so every state has different (or no) standards. There are also caregivers who call themselves specialized in memory care. Again this implies there is training in how to work with and comensate for memory deficits.
