The main components are the blood cells such as white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. The other components represent additional information about these cells including their size, color, function, and maturity.
The pathophysiology of dementia of the Alzheimer type is loss of volume of brain tissue as neurons deteriorate and die.
<h3>What is Alzheimer disease?</h3>
Alzheimer disease is a type of disease that affects the brain cells and it's otherwise called a neurosis.
It is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by dementia, that is initial memory impairment and cognitive decline.
Pathophysiology of a disease is the pathway that shows how the disease affects the physiology of the body systems.
The pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease include:
- The beta-amyloid deposition and neurofibrillary tangles lead to loss of synapses and neurons,
- This results in gross atrophy of the affected areas of the brain leading to death of brain cells.
Therefore, the pathophysiology of dementia of the Alzheimer type occurs due to beta-amyloid deposition which leads to loss of volume of brain tissue.

Micheal might be suffering from diabetes insipidus.
Diabetes insipidus
Diabetes insipidus is a condition in which the affected person has the urge to pee a lot and feels thirsty all the time. Even though it is not directly related to diabetes, it is named as such because the affected person has symptoms similar to diabetes. The two main symptoms are polydipsia and polyuria.
Cause of Diabetes insipidus
Diabetes insipidus is caused by the lack of production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is produced by the hypothalamus which then gets stored in the pituitary gland. When the person was subjected to surgery to remove the entire mass of cancer cells in the pituitary gland, the ability of the gland to store ADH could have been lost.
The ADH allows the retention of water by concentrating the urine. In a person with diabetes insipidus, the production of AHD is affected, and in very rare cases the response by the kidneys to ADH is reduced which also reduces the water reabsorption and increases urine volume.

<u>A temporary worsening of the condition</u> indicate that the client is in cholinergic crisis.
An edrophonium injection makes the client in cholinergic crisis temporarily worse. An improvement in the weakness indicates myasthenia crisis. Muscle spasms are not associated with this test.
The main test for myasthenia gravis is a blood test to look for a type of antibody (produced by the immune system) that stops signals being sent between the nerves and muscles. A high level of these antibodies usually means you have myasthenia gravis.
Flaccid paralysis worsens the paralysis caused by cholinergic crisis but strengthens the muscle response in the case of myasthenia gravis.
