I-MemTrax i-Memory Measurement System efakwe kumsakazo we-Alzheimer's Speaks – Ingxenye 1

I-MemTrax ihlonishwe ngokuba sehlelweni lezingxoxo lomsakazo i-Alzheimer's Speaks, elaziwa njengomgqugquzeli we-inthanethi ongu-#1 we-Alzheimer's kaDkt. OZ kanye ne-Sharecare. Emasontweni ambalwa ezayo sizobhala uhlelo lomsakazo ukuze ufunde ulwazi olubalulekile okuxoxwe ngalo. Sicela wabelane ngalolu lwazi nabangani bakho, imindeni, kanye nabathandekayo bakho, njengoba sithola ukuthi i-Alzheimer's iyisifo esithule ngempela. Sithemba ukuthi uzolujabulela lolu chungechunge lwebhulogi futhi sethemba ukuthi lolu lwazi lungaba usizo kuwe njengoba sizama ukuqonda kangcono isifo se-Alzheimer kanye nokuqhubeka kocwaningo. Le ngxoxo yomsakazo iphakathi kuka-Lori La Bey, uDkt. Ashford, kanye nami, indodana yakhe uCurtis Ashford.

Ingxenye 1: Sethula i- Doctor Ngemuva I-MemTrax

I-Lori:

Sawubona Wonke umuntu futhi wamukelekile emsakazweni we-Alzheimer's Speaks! Sinombukiso okhethekile namuhla, sinombukiso omuhle kakhulu ohleliwe namuhla, futhi ngithemba ukuthi nonke nizokwabelana ngalolu lwazi nontanga yenu. Ngicabanga ukuthi uzokuthola kufundisa kakhulu ukusho okuncane. Namuhla sizokhuluma noDkt. Ashford ne-MemTrax kanye noCurtis Ashford nge-MemTrax, okuwuhlelo olusha lokulinganisa lwenkumbulo futhi olusiza ngempela ekuhloleni abantu.

Kulabo kini abasanda kufunda i-Alzheimer's Speaks ngizoninika isizinda esincane sokuthi singobani nokuthi kungani senza esikwenzayo. Umama wami waphathwa ukuwohloka komqondo iminyaka engu-30, waqala phakathi neminyaka engu-50 futhi usanda kushona eneminyaka engu-86, ngakho ngaphezu kwengxenye yokuphila kwami ​​ibilokhu ibhekene nalesi sifo. Ngizibiza ngommeli kuma-steroids ukuzama ukwenza ushintsho. Ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele sisungule izinto ezintsha, ngicabanga ukuthi kufanele sabelane ngolwazi nolwazi emhlabeni wonke uma sizofaka igebe kulesi sifo futhi sisize abantu baphile ngokugcwele. Ngidale i-Alzheimer's Speaks njengenkampani esekelwe ekukhulumeni ehlinzeka ngezinkundla eziningi zokushintsha isiko lethu lokunakekela ukuwohloka komqondo lisuke ebunzimeni liye ekududuzeni emhlabeni wonke. Sikholelwa ngempela ukuthi ngokuhlanganisa amandla ngokuhlanganisa amandla nokwabelana ngolwazi nokuba nalezi zingxoxo zansuku zonke njengoba senza lapha emsakazweni i-Alzheimer's Speaks sizoqala ukususa amahlazo ahambisana nawo. ukulahlekelwa inkumbulo nokusiza abantu abaphila nalesi sifo, baphile ngenjongo, kanye nalabo ababanakekelayo. Emqondweni wethu sikholwa ukuthi ngokubambisana singayinqoba le mpi. Ngiyazi ukuthi ukusebenzisana kusebenza ngamandla akho aphakeme kakhulu ngoba sabonwa uDkt. Oz kanye ne-Sharecare njengabagqugquzeli abangu-#1 ku-inthanethi besifo i-Alzheimer's futhi ake ngikutshele ukuthi asikwenzanga lokho sodwa. I-Alzheimer's Speaks ingowesifazane ongu-1 engibonisa yona, u-Lori La Bey, kanye nokuthandwa nguwe, ukuchofoza kwakho, ama-tweets akho, okubeke amandla ngemuva kwethu ngokwabelana ngolwazi. Uma ungakakwenzi lokho vele ngiyakugqugquzela ukuthi uluthande lolu hlelo futhi wabelane ngalo ne-akhawunti yakho ye-twitter, i-Facebook, i-Google abangani, i-email list, noma ngabe kuyini ngoba awukwazi ukuthi ngubani endaweni yangakini obhekene nalesi sifo ngokuthula. . Ungamangala, kodwa ulwazi oluthe xaxa esilubeka lapho, kuzokwenza kube lula ukuthi abantu bafinyelele lapho isikhathi sibafanele.

Ake ngethule isivakashi sethu sokuqala lapha, UDkt. Ashford, waphothula eNyuvesi yaseCalifornia, eBerkeley futhi waphothula iziqu zakhe ze-MD ne-PhD e-UCLA. Umbhalo wakhe we-PHD waba owamanqamu wokuthola umklomelo kaLindsley we-behavioral neuroscience dissertation ye-Society for Neuroscience ngo-1984. Uzobe esitshela ulwazi oluthakazelisayo, izindaba ezijabulisayo ezisanda kuphuma namuhla, uma ngimethula.

Ukuqaphela kwakhe kwasekuqaleni kuye kwabeka isisekelo sokuqonda ukuthi isifo i-Alzheimer's sithinta kanjani izinzwa ezisebuchosheni bomuntu, futhi ngo-1981 wanyathelisa ucwaningo lokuqala oluyimpumputhe oluphindwe kabili lomuthi wokwelapha isifo i-Alzheimer's okwamanje okuyisigaba somuthi onqunyelwe kakhulu kulesi simo. . Ngo-1985 wenza isiphakamiso se-neuro-plasticity hypothesis ye-AD esekelwe olwazini olwasungulwa ngocwaningo lwakhe lwe-PhD, futhi le thiyori iyimodeli ehamba phambili yokuqonda ukugula kwesifo i-Alzheimer's.

Uphinde abe ngusihlalo weMemory Screening Advisory Board ye-Alzheimer's Foundation of America, edidiyela izinhlelo zoSuku Lukazwelonke Lokuhlola Inkumbulo. Empeleni, i-Healthstar inkampani ebengiyisho, isebenzise ithuluzi labo lokuhlola inkumbulo futhi yahlola abantu abangaphezu kuka-2,200 futhi yahlanganyela nabantu abangaphezu kuka-14,000, futhi yayingasekelwe ekwesabeni, yayinamandla kakhulu.

UDkt Ashford manje usesungule uhlelo lokulinganisa inkumbulo lwekhompuyutha ukuze luhlole izinkinga zenkumbulo, ukuwohloka komqondo, nesifo se-Alzheimer esibizwa ngokuthi i-MemTrax. I ukuhlolwa kwememori iyathakazelisa ngempela, iyabandakanya, iyinselele, futhi inamandla okuhlola kahle izimpawu zakuqala zesifo i-Alzheimer's. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ayibizi, futhi iyisivivinyo esisebenzayo esingasetshenziswa cishe yinoma ubani.

Wamukelekile Dr. Ashford unjani namuhla?

UDkt. Ashford:

Ngiphile saka, futhi ngijabule kakhulu njengoba usho. Namuhla ekuseni ngivukele emsakazweni wami ukuzwa ukuthi kuklonyeliswe umklomelo kaNobel wePhysiology and Medicine ezifundweni zobuchopho. Okunye abakushoyo wukuthi uJohn O'Keefe waseBritain, ubekwelinye lamaqembu amabili aliwinile. Isizathu esenza ngibe nentshisekelo kangaka kulokhu ukuthi ngabhekisa umsebenzi wakhe encwadini yami ye-PhD ngo-1984, futhi kwangithinta kakhulu lokhu. Umklomelo wakhe kaNobel oklonyeliswe namuhla ubungowokuchaza amaseli endaweni yobuchopho ebizwa ngokuthi i-hippocampus, abantu bayadideka uma usebenzisa igama elithi hippocampus, ngokuyisisekelo lisho ihhashi lasolwandle. Kuyisakhiwo esincane esimaphakathi nobuchopho esibaluleke kakhulu ekwakheni izinkumbulo ezintsha.

UDkt. O'Keefe ukwazile ukubheka amaseli asebuchosheni bamagundane anemvubu enkulu kakhulu. Amaseli akule ndawo yobuchopho, ane-hippocampus enkulu kakhulu, amangqamuzana obuchopho ayakwazi ukukhodi izindawo ezithile ukuze amagundane ezungeza i-maze ezindaweni ezahlukene, amaseli ahlukene ku-hippocampus afunda izindawo ezithile. Ngakho-ke i-hippocampus ibandakanyeka kakhulu ekufundeni ulwazi olusha, okusho inkumbulo. Esifweni i-Alzheimer’s, ngokuyinhloko isifo sokwakheka kwenkumbulo, enye yezindawo ezicekelwe phansi kakhulu yilesi sifo i-hippocampus, futhi ikomiti lomklomelo kaNobel lawubona umsebenzi wakhe kusukela ngawo-1960 futhi lathi wawuthinta ngokuqondile isifo i-Alzheimer’s. Akukhona lokho kuphela, ngiyakukholwa, ngoba kwakuyimibono yakhe yokuthi kunamangqamuzana ahlobene nokufunda ulwazi olusha ku-hippocampus kanye ne-hippocampus ehlaselwe isifo i-Alzheimer's engihola ngomsebenzi engiwenzile ocwaningweni lwami, ngo-1985 ukuphakamisa ukuthi kwakuwumthamo wobuchopho ukwenza izinkumbulo ezintsha ezahlaselwa ngokuqondile inqubo yesifo i-Alzheimer's. Lo mqondo, wokuthi isifo i-Alzheimer's ukuhlasela kakhulu izindlela zenkumbulo ebuchosheni, ungiholele ezingxenyeni eziningi ezahlukene zomsebenzi wami ngifunda ngesifo i-Alzheimer's futhi ungasihola manje uma sifuna ngempela ukuhlola umuntu ukuze sibone ukuthi unesimo esithile. inkinga yenkumbulo. Ukuze uhlolele umuntu isifo i-Alzheimer's, kufanele ukwenze ngendlela ethile lapho unganikeza khona ulwazi lobuchopho bese ubheka ukuthi ubuchopho bukwazile yini ukukhumbula ulwazi. Leso isimiso esisungule kuso ukuhlolwa kwenkumbulo ye-MemTrax: www.MemTrax.com futhi ngalokhu kuhlolwa siyakwazi ukubona ukuthi umuntu unazo yini izimpawu zobunzima benkumbulo ezingase zibonise izinto eziningi. Isifo i-Alzheimer's siyimbangela eyodwa yezinkinga zenkumbulo. I-MemTrax izwela kakhulu ezinkingeni eziningi zenkumbulo, kodwa isifo i-Alzheimer's into esiyithakasela kakhulu.

Yilokho kuphela okwanamuhla! Sizoqhubeka nengxoxo yohlelo lwezingxoxo emsakazweni ngokuzayo lapha kubhulogi ye-MemTrax. Sifuna ukuhlinzeka ngalo lonke lolu lwazi ngamasegimenti amancane ukuze kube lula ukulisebenzisa nokubhekisela kulo. Hlala ubukele ukuze uthole ulwazi oluningi oluhle oluvela ekusebenzelaneni kwethu siqu ne-Alzheimer's emndenini, izinkombandlela zocwaningo, kanye nezindlela zokuthatha izindlela zokuvimbela nezisebenzayo zokubhekana nokuwohloka komqondo.
