Abstract:
This chapter examines the deployment of counter-incorporative strategies as a means to thwart potentially dangerous elements from entering the eating body. In particular, it examines how, through the language of disease and contamination that proliferates in the realm of immigration and its effect on culture, select national cultures are portrayed as under attack from foreigners and their filthy, debased bodies. Marked with cannibalism as the ultimate expression of savagery and human degradation, these bodies evoke anxiety and deep-seated fear of extinction in the national consciousness. Focus

Dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson’s disease dementia belong to the α-synucleinopathies, a family of diseases pathologically characterized by aggregation of α-synuclein in Lewy bodies in the brain.

Clinical diagnostic criteria are reviewed and the different neuropathology staging systems for DLB and PDD and the most important genetic findings are considered. Biomarkers in DLB and PDD with particular focus on imaging techniques like CIT-SPECT and MRI are described. Important clinical symptoms

Nationalist and tribal cohesion in Ireland, South Africa, the US, and elsewhere often relies on an absence of female and gender-nonconforming bodies in the public life. Staging a vital counter-narrative to global nationalist discourses, this book explores how 20th and 21st-century postcolonial literatures criticize hetero-normative definitions of nationhood across different geopolitical and cultural contexts.

Abstract:
Many movement disorders specialists would consider dementia with Lewy bodies to be on one end of a spectrum of presentations associated with Lewy body pathology. Parkinson’s disease with preserved cognition sits at the other end of the spectrum, and over time it can be associated with a greater cortical Lewy body burden and related cognitive impairment. It is unclear what determines to what degree cognitive impairment is involved in a given patient, and the arbitrary time-based division between Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies is imperfect, although it serves to help recogniti

Abstract:
Almost undistinguished some 30 years ago, dementia with Lewy bodies is now shown to be the second most common neurodegenerative cause of dementia in the elderly. A host of neuroinflammatory mechanisms are attributed to Lewy bodies and their component alpha synuclein, a common pathology shared by Parkinson disease and Parkinson disease with dementia. Accurate diagnosis of patients is essential, as they show unique impairment patterns, which differ from other forms of dementia and show severe adverse reaction to neuroleptic medication, a common treatment in other degenerative diseases.

Lewy body dementia (LBD) is the second most common form of neurocognitive disorder after Alzheimer’s disease and covers two related diagnoses: Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Parkinson’s Disease Dementia. Despite being a common disorder, diagnosis outside expert academic centers remains a significant challenge. The core pathological feature of LBD is the cortical Lewy body; however, many cases will have coexistent Alzheimer disease pathology. Genetic risk factors for LBD include mutations in genes for alpha-synuclein (SNCA) and galactocerbrosidase (GBA). Dopamine transporter imaging remains the

This chapter discusses the Pathogenesis of Lew Body Dementia. The Lewy body dementias (LBDs) are a spectrum of dementing neurodegenerative disorders underpinned by the pathological accumulation of α- synuclein protein in both intraneuronal inclusions, “Lewy bodies, ” and neuronal processes, “Lewy neurites”. The chapter concludes that, as with other forms of cognitive impairment in the aged, the pathophysiology of cognitive impairment in LBD is likely multifactorial.
