Dementia
Dementia is a neurodegenerative disease that refers to a kind of syndrome related to intellectual and cognitive decline, and certain behavioral abnormalities and personality changes. The presentations can be cognitive impairment (memory decline, decreased computing power, orientation disorder, slow and poor thinking, decreased learning ability), decreased daily self-care ability, behavioral and mental disorders, etc.
Both intelligence neurology and memory neurology involve complex and diffuse pathological changes in dementia, mainly meaning structural lesions of the cerebral cortex, diencephalon, and basal ganglia, and presenting a chronic process. Due to gene mutation, cerebral nerve cells gradually decline and get lost in a diffuse way, replaced by changes such as glial proliferation, neuroinflammatory plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and Louis body formation. This pathological process occurs in various dementia cases. There has been lack of treatment that could block such pathological process.
Biology neurology presents a new idea for effectively treating dementia, that is, nerve regeneration and nerve repair. Wu Medical Center (WMC) has successfully applied this technology in treating dementia, providing a new treatment that can significantly improve the patient's intelligence and memory, remarkably improve patient’s pathological environment (structure and tissue) and block the disease progression.

About Dementia
Dementia is the most important and most common degenerative brain disease. Cerebral atrophy that progresses for many years, and severe brain atrophy and dementia are clinically difference from the atrophy that occurs normally with aging. The late pathologic change in patients who have dementia has been confirmed as the appearance of atrophy diffusion in the brain, and the weight of the brain is usually reduced by at least 20%. In addition, the gyrus becomes narrower and the sulci become wider. The symmetry of the third ventricle and lateral ventricle changes and they have different degrees of expansion. Microscopically, a large number of the nerve cells are lost, especially in the cerebral cortex, and the nuclei in the brain also lose nerve cells, especially in monoamine nervous system in the stem of the brain. The decrease in the number of cholinergic neurons in basal ganglia may affect memory.
The clinical manifestations of dementia include: the existence of a variety of mental disorders including personality change, inability to remember how to perform simple tasks like use household items or tools, while still retaining the ability to complete the action; inability to use a pen, razor, tableware, or unlock something. These actions are not ideational apraxia.
The most common dyspraxia are the inability to walk stably or with large steps. Towards the end of disease, certain reflexes are difficult to perform, such as grasping and sucking, and there are other signs of the frontal diseases, urinary and fecal incontinence. Patients that remain silent will eventually lose his or her ability to walk and may become paralyzed, with a complete inability to care for his- or herself.
