"Retirement" from work as a risk factor for #Dementia: experience of 5 recent patients

1. I saw 5 new cases of dementia last month, which apparently started within 6 to 18 months after retirement from work. All were cognitively normal until retirement.

#MedTwitter #Alzheimer

2. Memory impairment was the most prominent symptom. Over a period of time, other symptoms such as impaired calculation, speech impairment, losing sense of direction, poor judgement and inability to do daily activities without assistance, also started. Symptoms were progressive.

3. A diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease was made on the basis of detailed neuro-psychological assessment, brain scans and other appropriate investigations.
Two patients had comorbid #depression. Three patients had #sleep disorders- two had #insomnia and one had excessive sleep.

Simple to understand, difficult to implement.

Lack of sleep is dangerous.

This is how much you should be getting across age groups.

Can insufficient sleep increase the chance of developing a common cold?

A thread 🧵👇

#sleep #sick #insomnia

Poor sleep is associated with susceptibility to acute infectious illness. In addition, sleep deprivation has been shown to negatively affect immune system functioning. Does this mean that you have a higher chance of getting sick when getting insufficient sleep?

2/

This study investigated whether sleep duration affects the development of the common cold. Sleep duration was objectively measured for 7 days/nights with a sleep watch.

Chak dimanche à Kin, ezala Catho, protestant, de réveil, Kimbanguiste, #Vuvamu kutu koloba te, chacun fait son plein. Veut dire, Yankee na bordeau na ye, Yuma pe plancus na ye. Mutu abangisa yo te. Alors, masta, tika complexe. Kin oyo, Zala focus. Tia molende, okozua!

2. Dans nos cours communes, force ezalaka diplôme ou prestance te. Mais plutôt pour les hommes, "Papa aye na sachet". Pour les femmes, "essentiel adresse". N'a système wana, loyenge eza ndeko milelo. Soki olandi influence ya coup d'oeil ya ba masta, okolela na munoko ya mboka.

3. Enfant, nabotama na Ricelle moko na ba ndingari musulmans. Adulte, j'ai vécu et travaillé en Afrique de l'ouest. La conclusion? Pas besoin de prier le même Dieu. Mais le + important, est de respecter l'humain, créature de Dieu, au delà de nos divergences et contradictions.

#Insomnia
Quand les baffles s'éteignent, #Barumbu a qlq choz de rassurant. Un car qui passe. Une veillée de prière au loin... On se sent en sécurité au milieu de désordre ambiant. De loin, on se sent moins seul. On pense aux siens loin de soi. A la chaleur de son lit. La vie...

2. A un moment, faudrait bien se demander si cela en vaut la peine? Si tous ces moments perdus à chercher des pierres pour bâtir aujourd'hui les fondations de demain pour sa famille, valent bien le sacrifice? Si comment cette chaleur familiale réchauffera t elle encore le coeur?

3. Enfant, je voulais tout être. Le gendarme qui inspirait crainte à son passage. Le philosophe qu'était ma mère, éclairant mes obscurités. Le pragmatique qu'était mon père qui savait capitaliser les opportunités... Devenu grand, mon seul souci est d'être "utile" aux miens.

@ltomfohr

I have heard so many people talk about new or worsened #insomnia during #COVID19.

My PSA for today. Do not lay in bed if you are not sleeping! #sleep #sleeping #CBTi @nytimes (1/6)

nytimes.com/interactive/20…

I know that with disrupted schedules, and sky high anxiety, this can be tough, but it is the #1 sleep advice I have given clinically this year. You want your bed to be a place associated with sleep and comfort, not worry and frustration (2/6).

Create a safe and cozy space for yourself somewhere outside your bedroom, and if you can't fall asleep within 15 minutes (you know that feeling!) get up and read/do a puzzle/listen to a podcast, until you're sleepy and then try again (3/6).

Da
a) ich nicht Schlafen kann, und
b) hier nach ca 26 Std Ausfall endlich wieder Internet zugänglich ist,

hole ich ein paar Info-Sendungen in der #TVthek des #ORF nach.

Und wie üblich finde ich was zum Möckern:

#Insomnia #Chemotherapie

Nämlich:

Warum werden bei diesen Straßenumfragen bloß immer die "verkehrten" Fragen gestellt. Auch so richtig im Sinne von "leading questions", also da wird bereits eine Denkrichtung unauffällig mitgegeben.

In diesem Beispiel geht es um die Diskussion, inwieweit es OK ist, wenn

Leute durch die #Corona-Impfung Vorteile haben dürfen.

Klar, so löst das gleich einmal einen Neid-Reflex aus!

Die richtige Frage wäre natürlich, ob Leute ohne Impfung Nachteile (wie Zugangsbeschränkungen) erfahren dürfen.
(unter Voraussetzung der Verfügbarkeit der Impfung)

I deeply relate to this. After almost dying of ❤️ failure from #Lyme & being told by 11 “top” docs that in spite of my tick bite, bullseye, & classic symptoms, I could not poss still have it after a short course of doxy. Well, I did. 1/

https://twitter.com/bessbell/status/1344036091632910336

And after the 12th doc saved my life (thx @StevePhillipsMD), I wrote my story in @HuffPost. I didn’t think anyone would care. But they did. The editor called & asked me to keep writing about this scandal as so many ppl were reading my story. 2/ huffpost.com/entry/how-11-t…

So I kept writing and began hearing from people all over the world, including a nurse from Ghana, who used my story to guide them back to health. I even interviewed celebrities who had gone through it like Daryl Hall. 3/ m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_11…

For all of you out there with #heatwaveuk related #insomnia here is a brief #history of the houses of the British monachy since 1066 in the form of #lightbulb jokes. 🧵 1/11
💡👑💡👑💡👑💡👑💡👑💡👑

How many "of Normandys" does it take to change a lightbulb?

One, but the North will never accept the new lightbulb!

2/11

How many "of Blois" does it take to change a light bulb?

One, but it will take 18 years, will never be completely changed, and there's a woman looking on who could have done it perfectly competently but wasn't allowed to.

.@AmerMedicalAssn STILL hasn't read a study they published in 2019 showing rx #opioid limits "have failed" to reduce #ODs.

@AmericanCancer Society explains: People "very rarely" become addicted from medical use. Thread: Research shows pushing patients off opioids can kill them.

"#Addiction is very rare" when #opioid pain meds are taken as prescribed (American Cancer Society). Large studies have put the rate of addiction in medical use at under 1%. #cpp

Always wary of whinging on here, but I haven’t had more than 3/4 hrs broken sleep in over a week and it’s beyond a joke at this stage. 😩 #insomnia

Also, thanks to the lovely people offering advice, but I've tried everything over the last 25 years. It's just the way it is. Only posted it as it's important to share shit stuff too. Wait, what? It's NOT important to share shit stuff?? #delete

Anyone who suffers from chronic insomnia will know it gets to a point where it’s untenable. You bump into things, can’t find words, burn yourself on the oven. 😢

ST VITUS, MARTYR; FEAST JUNE 15

~thread~
1. St Vitus appears in early lists of Christian martyrs, and probably died during the persecution of Diocletian, which reached its climax in 303.

He is a patron saint of Prague, actors,

#StVitus #Christianity #FourteenHolyHelpers

2. and his intercession has been invoked against snake bites and sleeplessness. Chiefly, though, he has been associated with St Vitus’s Dance.

Historically this term has been used to describe nervous disorders involving rapid, jerky, involuntary movements;
#insomnia #sleep

3. it has also been applied to epilepsy. Today, St Vitus’s Dance is more austerely defined as Sydenham’s Chorea, a disease which induces grimacing and jerking in children and pregnant women, and which is often linked to rheumatic fever.

Tradition relates that Vitus

@uk_domain_names

I've had a chance to think more about the £330 billion being loaned to firms #insomnia

While it's vital they get help, I fear it will result in most of that money just being handed to the banks one way or another. If the businesses fold anyway, will the loans have priority?

In other words, will the banks that made the loans get first dibs on the assets of the business? (Or the Government, if it makes the loans directly - could we be about to see a step change in the number of properties and businesses it owns.)

If so that hurts creditors who will already be hurting. Suppliers who haven't been paid will find a bank or the Government in line ahead of them for whatever assets are left.

I genuinely don't know. Something truly drastic has to be done, but I worry that *something* isn't this.
