Why Toronto for Dementia Care Conference 2019?

Toronto is the major and the capital city of the province of Ontario in Canada. It is the largest population centre in Ontario by population over 5 million. It is situated on the north-west shore of Lake Ontario. Toronto’s motto is “Diversity Our Strength. This city is a global finance, commerce as well as transportation hub. It has always been ranked highly in the fields of life expectancy, personal safety, healthcare, education etc.

The proportion of Canadians living with Alzheimer disease and related dementias is rising day by day. Using rates drawn from the Canadian Study on Health and Aging, it was estimated that in 2016 there were 564,000 persons in Canada living with dementia. By 2031 it is estimated that the number will increase to 937,000 (see Table) of which the percentage for women will be 65 percent.

Hence, we need to think upon it and need to tackle this growing problem. So we are organizing this time in Toronto, Canada in order to emphasize on dementia treatment, prevention and most importantly dementia care so that persons with dementia can seek medical attention early. We hope you will join us at Dementia Conference 2019 and make this event fruitful.

Session 1: Dementia

Dementia is now the leading cause of death that has caused more deaths than heart disease. It is a group of symptoms that leads to brain function decline and memory impairment.

It can be grouped based on the part of brain being affected. A dementia results in a change from a person's usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging. Alzheimer's and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are two forms of cortical dementia. Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and HIV are two forms subcortical dementia.

Session 2: Dementia Care & Awareness

Caring of person with dementia is a difficult task both for families and caregivers. Individual with dementia have progressive brain disorder and memory loss, which makes them difficult to do daily activities. They need support and care.

Most persons with dementia die of acute illness and many are hospitalised at the end of life. In the acute hospital setting, limitation of care orders (LCOs) such as Do Not Attempt CPR and Physician Orders for Life Sustaining Treatment (POLST), appear to be underused in patients with dementia.  These patients receive the same aggressive life-prolonging therapies as any other patient, despite drastically higher mortality.

Caring for people with dementia is a vital and rewarding service. Caring with dignity and respect allows the affected person to retain as much of who they were as possible and removing much of the fear for both the individual and their family. The right care can limit the negative impact of the unpredictability of dementia. Several associations are there which are often helpful in completing these tasks.

  • Dementia Nursing
  • Psychiatric / Mental status Evaluation
  • Dementia Care & Consulting
  • Society & Culture

Session 3: Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer's is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. It is the most common form of dementia and accounts for 60 to 80% of dementia cases. It causes problems with memory, thinking and behaviour. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, gradually become severe enough to interfere with day to day work. People with Alzheimer's live an average life of eight years after the symptoms become visible. There is no current cure for Alzheimer's, but treatments for symptoms are available and the research is continued.

Session 4: Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases consist of wide range of disorders, characterized by the progressive degeneration or death of nerve cells. It affects nerve tissue and causes different neuropsychological manifestations as well. It is an umbrella term for a range of conditions which particularly affect the neurons in the human brain.

Genetic and environmental factors have been shown to play a vital role in the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Age is one of the major risk factor that is common between all types of neurodegenerative disease as it progresses at older ages commonly.

Session 5: Ageing & Dementia

Recent data show that as population’s age, the number of people affected by neurodegenerative dementia is growing at an epidemic pace in various regions of the world. 

Around 40 per cent of people over the age of 65 experience some form of memory loss. This kind of memory loss is "age-associated memory impairment," which is considered a part of the normal aging process. But memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias are different.

Session 6: Biomarkers for Dementia

Dementia represents a burgeoning public health problem that already causes untold suffering and threatens to overwhelm health care delivery systems in the coming decades.

One reaction to the approaching pandemic of twisting sickness is the advancement of biomarkers that can help in determination, forecast, choice for clinical trials, and target evaluation of remedial reaction. Imaging, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood-based biomarkers have the potential to improve the accuracy by which specific causes of dementia can be diagnosed in vivo, but more research is required to improve the efficacy.

Session 7: Diagnostic Tools & Tests for Dementia

There is no one test to identify if someone has dementia. Doctors diagnose dementia based on a careful medical history, a physical examination, laboratory tests, and the characteristic changes in thinking, day-to-day activities and behaviour associated with each type.

It is difficult to determine the exact type of dementia because the symptoms are very similar and brain changes of different dementias can overlap.

Diagnosis can be aided by:

Session 8: Treatment Strategies & Drug Development            

Treatment of dementia depends on its cause. In most of the cases there is no cure and no treatment that slows or stops its progression. Memory treatment has a great impact on dementia patients. It utilizes past frequencies and urge patients to compose and clarify past rates which help in keeping up psychological wellness. Physical exercise has shown some benefits in helping to maintain cognition. Staying engaged and participating in social events may also be helpful.

But there are drug treatments that may temporarily improve symptoms. Ultimately, the path to effective new treatments for dementia is through increased research funding and increased participation in clinical studies & drug development.

Session 9: Therapeutic Approach towards Dementia

There are numerous ways to categories interventions in dementia care, for instance, by the kind of treatment approach used.  The chief grouping is by the therapeutic goal, with three considerable spheres recommended: the maintenance of function, including cognitive functions, the management of behaviours that challenge and the reduction of comorbid emotional disorders.

The range of non-pharmacological ‘interventions’ in dementia care is ample and would include the everyday interactions of cares with the person suffering from dementia, the effect of the physical and social conditions and all manner of  ‘therapies’, ranging from art sessions to contact with animals.

Session 10: Clinical Trials & Study in Dementia

There are two types of Alzheimer's treatment trials:

  • One aimed at reducing symptoms. During this type of trial, new medicines and variations of existing medicine that reduce the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are tested.
  • Second aimed at slowing or terminating the disease. During this type of trial, new drugs designed to slow or stop Alzheimer's are tested.

Scientists are making great efforts in identifying potential new ways to help diagnose, treat, and even prevent Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Without clinical trials, there can be no better treatments, no prevention and no cure for neurological disease.

  • Vaccine for Dementia
  • Treatment trials
  • Diagnostic studies
  • Prevention trials
  • Quality of life studies

Session 11: Neuroimaging

Although detailed clinical appraisal frames the premise of assessing a patient with psychological disability, structural and functional imaging techniques are logically being used. Neuroimaging can recognize changes to supplement the clinical analysis and help to recognize dementia subtypes. This might be critical for treatment, prognosis and care planning.

New imaging strategies convey the expectation of revolutionizing the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disease to acquire an entire molecular, structural, and metabolic characterization, which could be used to improve diagnosis and to stage each patient and follow disease progression and response to treatment.

Session 12: Recent Studies & Case reports

Dementia is a progressive, irreversible decline in cognition that, by definition, impacts on a patient pre-existing level of functioning. The clinical syndrome of dementia has several etiologies of which Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common.

Drug development in AD is based on evolving pathophysiological theory. Disease modifying approaches include the targeting of amyloid processing, aggregation of tau, insulin signalling, neuro-inflammation and neurotransmitter dysfunction, with efforts thus far yielding abandoned hopes and ongoing promise. Reflecting its dominance on the pathophysiological stage the amyloid cascade is central to many of the emerging drug therapies.

Dementia is a progressive, irreversible decline in cognition that, by definition, impacts on a patient pre-existing level of functioning. It is now the leading cause of death that has caused more deaths than heart disease. This conference on Dementia and Dementia Care will gather researchers from all over the world, where they can exchange their knowledge and share ideas.

Global Statistics

Worldwide, around 50 million people have dementia. The numbers of people living with dementia in low income countries will increase by 264%, between 2015 and 2050, and by 227% in upper middle income countries, by 223% in lower middle income countries and by 116% in high income countries.

The estimated proportion of the general population aged 60 and over with dementia at a given time is between 5- 8 per 100 people. The total number of people with dementia is projected to near 75 million in 2030 and almost triple by 2050 to 132 million.

Global Business & Research Value

Dementia has significant social and economic implications in terms of direct medical costs, direct social costs, and the costs of informal care.

The worldwide costs of dementia were estimated is $818 billion in 2015, an increase of 35% since 2010. Costs of informal care and the direct costs of social care still contribute similar proportions of total costs, whereas the costs in the medical sector are much lower. The threshold of US $1 trillion will be crossed by 2018.

Only about a third of the population is receiving the therapy or medication needed, mental illnesses cause a huge economic and social burden, it is found that the cost burden of these and other neurological disorders amounted to about 386 billion euros ($555 billion) a year. An estimated 6.8 million people die every year as a result of neurological disorders.

This industry research report identifies Allergan, Eisai, Novartis, and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries as the key vendors in the global dementia treatment market.

This industry research report also presents a competitive analysis of the market by drug class (MAO inhibitors, AChE inhibitors, and Glutamate inhibitors) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global dementia and movement disorder treatment market will grow at a CAGR of more than 4% by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the need for disease modifying drugs (DMDs) as one of the primary growth factors for this market.
