your mother has alzheimer's? >> caller: my mother died a year ago and had alzheimer's. first, abigail thank you for writing the article. my mother actually died from acce sepisis and taking a medicine that burned a hole in her figure. so the people dying from alzheimer's is under. her dementia meant she didn't take her medication with food and it essentially burned a hole in her stomach, caused the bleeding and. so the dementia from alzheimer's caused her to mistake her medication even though it says s sepsis on the death papers. the nih 20 years ago rather than do independent research was coupling with pharmaceutical companies and people who had a financial stake in developing pharmaceuticals wheith the research money from the nih. this has led to a lot of research being geared toward finding a cure or test or something to do with diagnosing or treating alzheimer's that will give them financial gain. i think there is a problem in that it will only cause you to look at certain areas to research. if it isn't viable or gives you a good return you will ignore that area of

spends $1 on alzheimer's research. in fiscal year 2014 the on the misappropriation bill provided for an increase in the way you describe for 1 civilian dollars for alzheimer's research and i appreciate working with you to accomplish that goal. but without a way to prevent, cure or effectively treat alzheimer's it will be difficult if not impossible to rein in our nation's health care costs. in this committee and the full committee you often heard me say i really appreciate dealing with the issue of health care and health research. health research is an opportunity for those who are the most fiscally conservative than those who are the most caring and compassionate to come together because we can save tremendous amounts of money and improve people's lives by doing so. is an opportunity for all of us to work together to find a solution. one study found that a breakthrough against alzheimer's that delayed the onset of the disease by five years would mean a total savings of $447 billion by 2015. now is a time as a nation w

americans whisper the word alzheimer's because their government whispers the word alzheimer's. although a whisper is better than silence that the alzheimer's kmuptd has been facing for decades it's not enough. it needs to be yelled and screamed to the point that it gets the attention and funding it needs. i dream of the day my charity is no longer naens i can go back to being the lazy man child i hope to be. i ask you to continue to take more steps from vied more funding. i want to thank the committee to share my story and voice my whole hearted support for the continuing work that purr sauce cure for alzheimer's disease. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. rogen. that was great. thank you. although i'm sorry you had to unmask me i'm really kevin spacey. not too many people knew that. thank you all very much. i'll start with dr. hurd. i'm pleased to see your research was funded by the national institute of ageing. you may be aware maybe all of you, maybe you're not aware that some of my colleagues in the house of representatives hold a different view of the role of nih in he

alzheimer's is our primary concern. it is fortunate that his atrial flutter is somewhat under control, medicated so he is able to thrive with it. but i still think in terms of when someone not to is your primary doctor, i always say the new urologist decodes in order to live well with alzheimer's, it begins with him. it begins with how he begins to coordinate the health plan, which he has to a degree. i think it comes in different portions are different compartments. the way he's looking at in particular is making ken's life as rich and as powerful as they can be on a day to day basis. and so, he is a very important part of a program that ken is then entitled living well. it is run by the alzheimer's association, by the wilder foundation of st. paul, minnesota and by the jewish community center who has opened its doors to welcome my on their campus every week. and with that living well program is associated a caregiver cafÉ so that ken and i ago together. and this is very, very important. it's not a day program where i

in particular alzheimer's disease. since 2008, my research has focused on the long-term consequences of repeated it brain trauma and athletes. in particular i've been studying to be the generative disease chronic traumatic and encephalopathy. cte is a progressive brain disease that can lead to dramatic changes in mood, behavior and cognition eventually leading to dementia. it is similar to alzheimer's disease but it is a unique disease easily distinguished through postmortem gero pathological examination. originally called punch drunk in the early 19 hundreds when it was the leave to only occur in boxers it has now been found in individuals from age 17 to 98 including youth, college and professional contact sport athletes such as football, hockey and soccer and rugby players. research suggests that to the cascade of events leading to a progressive destruction of brain tissue these changes in the brain can begin years or even decades after the last trauma or after the end of athletic involvement and can lead to memory l

on alzheimer's, my mother passed away from alzheimer's and i wish her caregiver for the first few years after my father's death. one of the things i remember, the aggravated alzheimer's was when we would have to take her to a physician or take her to a medical appointment and take her out of her surroundings where she was staying to do you experience that? >> ken is still early stage, but i definitely notice that is something that is very common with persons of alzheimer's. it can be very difficult. and they can result in behaviors that we don't see on a day-to-day basis necessarily. >> a territory you can help avoid the number of visits you have to make, which activates all summers but i remember from my mother situation did she go from a very docile into the to a very agitated individual because she was outside the surroundings is used of me with when she was in the home. >> exactly. >> mr. chairman, the tasman by both ms. lehmann and by dr. bornstein, certifies what you said all along that is if we can do a better job of incentivizing coronation, the best is better care but it also i

when it comes to dealing with alzheimer's. onlyith the wahysicians are not far too many positions are not familiar with the warning signs of alzheimer's or how to properly advise patients and their caregivers. additionally, there is a lack of communication and coordination among physicians. can the season internist, a cardiologist and an urologist to deal with various conditions. he carries a list of his beloved medication and supplements to reach event to ensure that each position is aware of what is other health providers have prescribed for him. sadly, this is more the case of the exception for many individuals with alzheimer's and their caregivers. thank you for the opportunity to testify today. i appreciate the steadfast support of the committee and its focus on chronic care. alzheimer's is a disease that not only impacts the diagnosed person, but also relies their loved ones. i ask congress to address chronic care tissues around all favors of the same bipartisan collaboration demonstrated in the passage of the national a

. >>> alzheimer's is an unforgiving disease. it can erase a lifetime of memories of someone inflicted with it. and it places untold burdens on families and caregivers. there is still no cure for it. studies by a team of japanese researchers show that early detection may be the best way to tackle the disease. the national center for geriatrics and gerontology is at the forefront of japanese research on alzheimer's disease. one of its teams is working on ways of blocking the accumulation in the brain of a type of molecule known as amyloid beta. the molecule is believed to play a major role in the onset of alzheimer's. the team is led by katsuhiko, a specialist in dementia. he and his team have been studying the characteristics of amyloid beta. in normal circumstances, the molecule is excreted from the body, but when several join together and expand, they can damage nerve tissue and trigger symptoms of alzheimer's disease. the team has already succeeded in uncovering this particular mechanism. researchers then focused on developing

in many ways, alzheimer's is the defining disease of the baby boom generation. if we are to prevent it from becoming the defining disease of the next generation, we must strengthen our commitment to research leading to a better understanding of this devastating disease while researchers still have a great deal to learn about how the head injuries affect an individual's risks of developing urological diseases like alzheimer's later in life there is increasing evidence of the relationship. women even more than men may be likely to experience long-term symptoms such as cognitive and visual impairments after sustaining a severe head injury. we know that correctly almost two thirds of americans living with alzheimer's are women. there are many important research projects being conducted on tbi and the link to the urological diseases. for example the national institutes of health and the national football league have and barked upon a $50,000,000.4 year private public partnership to advance research that may lead to the improvement of tbi diagnosis through better imag

i think we want one thing to explain alzheimer's. look at something different, like what makes skin wrinkle. well, i mean, getting older makes skin wrinkle, being in the sun too much makes skin wrinkle, not taking care of your diet. and you put them all together and they all contribute. and i think it might turn out to be the same for our thinking, especially in late life, that it's not just alzheimer's pathology from plaques, or not just micro-infarcts, but the number of these hits that you take. and after a while you can't withstand them all. >> stahl: there's one last thing we wondered about in the over-90 crowd, and that's romance. helen weil, 92, and henry tornell, 94, both widowed, have been dating for three years. so, do you see each other every day, several times every day, once a day? how does it work? >> henry tornell: she gets one day off a week. >> helen weil: ( laughs ) it's true-- tuesdays. >> stahl: tuesdays is a day off. >> weil: it's my day off. >> stahl: helen and henry love being part of the 90-plus study, and both

alzheimer's is one of the cruelest diseases, of course. there's no cure. so when a study came out today linking vitamin d deficiency to a higher risk of alzheimer's and dementia, we wanted to know more. the study found people who are moderately deficient in the so-called sunshine vitamin have a 53% greater risk of developing dementia. for those with a severe deficiency, the risk is more than double. dr. jon lapook has been looking into this. and, jon, why a connection between vitamin d and alzheimer's to begin with? >> reporter: vitamin d controls a lot of cell function and it's been found in the past there are receptors to vitamin d throughout the body including the memory centers in the brain. initially low vitamin d was linked to brittle bones but you have heard it being linked to other problems like cancer, neurological problems, depression and diabetes. >> pelley: now the question everyone at home is shouting should i take vitamin d supplements and how much? >> reporter: that's a tough one. just because low vitamin d is linked to a condition does not
