Pick S Disease

Pick's Disease is a rare disease that causes dementia in middle-aged people. It is caused by damage to the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, as opposed to the disseminated brain degeneration that occurs in Alzheimer's disease.

Pick's disease was first described in 1892 by the Austrian psychiatrist and neurologist Arnold Pick. It is characterized by the gradual degeneration of nerve cells in the frontal and temporal lobes of the cerebral cortex.

The main symptoms of Pick's disease are speech and behavior disorders. Patients experience a decrease in cognitive functions, primarily speech. Apraxia of speech develops when a person understands speech addressed to him, but cannot respond. Memory, attention and learning ability also suffer.

Characteristic features of Pick's disease are personality changes. Patients experience euphoria, carelessness, and impulsiveness. They may exhibit infantile behavior.

Treatment of Pick's disease is difficult. Symptomatic therapy is used to improve cognitive functions and correct behavior. The prognosis is unfavorable, the disease progresses and leads to profound dementia. The average life expectancy after diagnosis ranges from 2 to 10 years.

Pick's disease is a rare brain disease that causes dementia in middle-aged people. The name of the disease comes from the name of the German neurologist Heinrich Picky, who first described it in 1906.

Pick's disease causes damage to the frontal and visceral lobes of the brain.

Pick's disease is a rare but serious neurodegenerative disease that progresses to dementia and leads to gradual death. The cause of the pathological process is associated with damage to areas of the cortex and brain stem. The disease is named after the German physician Peter Heine-Paul Puck, who first published a description of the syndrome in 1927. Over the past decades, a number of studies have been carried out aimed at determining the exact cause of dementia; the pathogenesis of the disease has not been fully established, so there are still no methods of treatment or prevention. Unfortunately, statistical studies indicate that such diseases are most often detected and diagnosed in people over 60 years of age. At the same time, the peak mortality rate among patients falls on the age range from 80 to 90 years, when
