580-407: A continuum over several stages. Dementia ultimately has a significant effect on the individual, their caregivers , and their social relationships in general. A diagnosis of dementia requires the observation of a change from a person's usual mental functioning and a greater cognitive decline than might be caused by the normal aging process. Several diseases and injuries to the brain, such as
725-433: A stroke , can give rise to dementia. However, the most common cause is Alzheimer's disease , a neurodegenerative disorder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) , has re-described dementia as a mild or major neurocognitive disorder with varying degrees of severity and many causative subtypes. The International Classification of Diseases ( ICD-11 ) also classifies dementia as

Their music has been variously described as hard rock , blues rock and heavy metal , but the band calls it simply " rock and roll ". They are cited as a formative influence on the new wave of British heavy metal bands. AC/DC were founded in 1973 by Angus (lead guitar) and Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar), with Colin Burgess (drums), Larry Van Kriedt (bass guitar) and Dave Evans (lead vocals). They underwent several line-up changes before releasing their debut Australasian -only album, High Voltage (1975). Membership stabilised after

Like the Young brothers, Scott was born in Scotland, emigrated to Australia in his childhood and had a passion for blues music. Scott also had experience as a songwriter and drummer. Their debut single's tracks were re-written and the vocals were re-recorded by Scott. With Scott's inclusion, "[their] working-class style, boogie-rock sound and earthy humour fell into place", according to music journalist Ian McFarlane . Scott's first concert for AC/DC

The band hinted at another tour to occur in 2024;
2030-425: A comparable age without dementia; they are three times more likely to have urinary incontinence and four times more likely to have fecal incontinence . The course of dementia is often described in four stages – pre-dementia, early, middle, and late, that show a pattern of progressive cognitive and functional impairment. More detailed descriptions can be arrived at by the use of numeric scales. These scales include
2175-431: A continuous rate over several stages, and they vary across the dementia subtypes. Most types of dementia are slowly progressive with some deterioration of the brain well established before signs of the disorder become apparent. There are often other conditions present, such as high blood pressure or diabetes , and there can sometimes be as many as four of these comorbidities. Signs of dementia include getting lost in
2320-401: A diagnosis. Cognitive dysfunction of shorter duration is called delirium . Delirium can be easily confused with dementia due to similar symptoms. Delirium is characterized by a sudden onset, fluctuating course, a short duration (often lasting from hours to weeks), and is primarily related to a somatic (or medical) disturbance. In comparison, dementia has typically a long, slow onset (except in

Commonly, the person no longer recognizes familiar faces. They may have significant changes in sleeping habits or have trouble sleeping at all. Changes in eating frequently occur. Cognitive awareness is needed for eating and swallowing and progressive cognitive decline results in eating and swallowing difficulties . This can cause food to be refused, or choked on, and help with feeding will often be required. For ease of feeding, food may be liquidized into

3625-446: A loss of appetite leading to poor nutrition. It is suggested that this dysfunction may come about because the olfactory epithelium is exposed to the environment, and the lack of blood–brain barrier protection allows toxic elements to enter and cause damage to the chemosensory networks. Pre-dementia states considered as prodromal are mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and mild behavioral impairment (MBI). Signs and symptoms at

For example, a proportion of patients with Parkinson's disease develop dementia, though widely varying figures are quoted for this proportion. When dementia occurs in Parkinson's disease, the underlying cause may be dementia with Lewy bodies or Alzheimer's disease , or both. Cognitive impairment also occurs in
3915-400: A mixture of old age, high blood pressure, and damage to blood vessels in the brain. Diagnosis of mixed dementia can be difficult, as often only one type will predominate. This makes the treatment of people with mixed dementia uncommon, with many people missing out on potentially helpful treatments. Mixed dementia can mean that symptoms onset earlier, and worsen more quickly since more parts of

In some cases, terminal lucidity , a form of paradoxical lucidity , occurs immediately before death; in this phenomenon, there is an unexpected recovery of mental clarity. Many causes of dementia are neurodegenerative , and protein misfolding is a cardinal feature of these. Other common causes include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia, and mixed dementia (commonly Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia). Less common causes include normal pressure hydrocephalus , Parkinson's disease dementia , syphilis , HIV , and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease . Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60–70% of cases of dementia worldwide. The most common symptoms of Alzheimer's disease are short-term memory loss and word-finding difficulties . Trouble with visuospatial functioning (getting lost often), reasoning, judgment and insight fail. Insight refers to whether or not

Other prominent symptoms include problems with planning (executive function) and difficulty with visual-spatial function, and disruption in autonomic bodily functions . Abnormal sleep behaviors may begin before cognitive decline is observed and are a core feature of DLB. RBD is diagnosed either by sleep study recording or, when sleep studies cannot be performed, by medical history and validated questionnaires. Parkinson's disease
5655-493: Is associated with Lewy body dementia that often progresses to Parkinson's disease dementia following a period of dementia-free Parkinson's disease. Frontotemporal dementias (FTDs) are characterized by drastic personality changes and language difficulties. In all FTDs, the person has a relatively early social withdrawal and early lack of insight. Memory problems are not a main feature. There are six main types of FTD. The first has major symptoms in personality and behavior. This
5800-518: Is called behavioral variant FTD (bv-FTD) and is the most common. The hallmark feature of bv-FTD is impulsive behavior , and this can be detected in pre-dementia states. In bv-FTD, the person shows a change in personal hygiene, becomes rigid in their thinking, and rarely acknowledges problems; they are socially withdrawn, and often have a drastic increase in appetite. They may become socially inappropriate. For example, they may make inappropriate sexual comments, or may begin using pornography openly. One of

6090-428: Is due to the fact that, historically, brain tissue from patients with the disease could only be studied after the person's death. Brain scans can now help diagnose and distinguish between different kinds of dementia and show severity. These include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET). However, it is known that one of the first aspects of Alzheimer's disease

Extracellular senile plaques (SPs), consisting of beta-amyloid (Aβ) peptides, and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) that are formed by hyperphosphorylated tau proteins, are two well-established pathological hallmarks of AD. Amyloid causes inflammation around the senile plaques of the brain , and too much buildup of this inflammation leads to changes in
6670-401: Is the mini–mental state examination . Although the greatest risk factor for developing dementia is aging, dementia is not a normal part of the aging process; many people aged 90 and above show no signs of dementia. Several risk factors for dementia, such as smoking and obesity , are preventable by lifestyle changes. Screening the general older population for the disorder is not seen to affect

Highway to Hell had lyrics that shifted away from flippant and comical towards more central rock themes, putting increased emphasis on backing vocals but still featuring AC/DC's signature sound: loud, simple, pounding riffs and grooving back-beats. In February 1980, the members began to work on their seventh studio album, Back in Black , with Scott on drums instead of vocals. On 18 February, Scott passed out in

8120-665: The blood supply to the brain , typically involving a series of mini-strokes . The symptoms of this dementia depend on where in the brain the strokes occurred and whether the blood vessels affected were large or small. Repeated injury can cause progressive dementia over time, while a single injury located in an area critical for cognition such as the hippocampus, or thalamus, can lead to sudden cognitive decline. Elements of vascular dementia may be present in all other forms of dementia. Brain scans may show evidence of multiple strokes of different sizes in various locations. People with vascular dementia tend to have risk factors for disease of

The group had developed a strong live reputation by mid-1974, which resulted in a supporting slot on Lou Reed 's national tour in August. During that tour, Malcolm switched to rhythm guitar, leaving Angus on lead guitar –
10585-441: The Switch (1983), was produced by the group's members themselves. It was a return to the rawness and simplicity of their early albums, but received mixed reviews and was considered underdeveloped and unmemorable; one critic stated that they "had made the same album nine times". Flick of the Switch eventually reached number four on the UK charts, and the top five in Australia, and Finland. AC/DC had minor success with
10730-476: The US and UK. Simon Kirke and Paul Thompson were two drummers who auditioned. The band's tenth studio album, Fly on the Wall , produced by the Young brothers in 1985, was also regarded as uninspired and directionless. A concept music video of the same name featured the band at a bar, playing five of the album's ten songs. In 1986, the group returned to the top 20 on singles charts with
10875-585: The US by 2005. The track selection was heavily weighted towards the more recent T.N.T. , including only two songs from their first LP. Their third studio album, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap , was released in September–November 1976, in both Australian and European versions. Track listings varied worldwide; the international version of the album included the T.N.T. track "Rocker", which had previously not been released internationally. The original Australian version included " Jailbreak ". This
11020-502: The Young brothers with lyrics added by Scott. They relocated to Melbourne that month. Both Bailey and Clack were fired in January 1975. Paul Matters took over bass duties briefly before being fired in turn and replaced temporarily by George or Malcolm for live duties. Matters had disagreements with the Young brothers' decisions. Meanwhile, on drums, Ron Carpenter and Russell Coleman had brief tenures before Phil Rudd , from Buster Brown , joined in that month. Bass guitarist Mark Evans
11165-402: The band went to 108 cities in over 28 countries, with an estimated total audience of over 4.9 million. On 15 September 2008, AC/DC Radio debuted on Sirius Channel 19 and XM Channel 53, which plays their music along with band member interviews. On 29 September 2009, the band announced a collection of studio and live rarities, Backtracks , which was released on 10 November as
11310-494: The band's website showed that Rudd was replaced by Slade on drums. On 9 July 2015, Rudd was sentenced to eight months of home detention . On 7 March 2016, the band announced that the final ten dates of the Rock or Bust World Tour would be rescheduled as Johnson's doctors had ordered him to stop touring immediately; he risked complete deafness if he persisted. The ten cancelled dates were to be rescheduled, "likely with
11455-496: The band. A fan living near The Warehouse Studio, Vancouver claimed to have observed them in the outdoor area of the studio from an apartment window. Shortly afterwards, a photograph of Johnson with Williams at the gymnasium of the Living Shangri-La hotel in Vancouver in December 2018 surfaced, indicating that Williams had also rejoined. AC/DC then confirmed on 30 September 2020 the return of Johnson, Rudd and Williams to

The prodromal symptoms of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) include mild cognitive impairment , and delirium onset. The symptoms of DLB are more frequent, more severe, and earlier presenting than in
11745-437: The brain that cannot be controlled, leading to the symptoms of Alzheimer's. Several articles have been published on a possible relationship (as an either primary cause or exacerbation of Alzheimer's disease) between general anesthesia and Alzheimer's in specifically the elderly . Vascular dementia accounts for at least 20% of dementia cases, making it the second most common type. It is caused by disease or injury affecting
11890-443: The brain will be affected. Chronic inflammatory conditions that may affect the brain and cognition include Behçet's disease , multiple sclerosis , sarcoidosis , Sjögren's syndrome , lupus , celiac disease , and non-celiac gluten sensitivity . These types of dementias can rapidly progress, but usually have a good response to early treatment. This consists of immunomodulators or steroid administration, or in certain cases,
12035-405: The cases of a stroke or trauma), slow decline of mental functioning, as well as a longer trajectory (from months to years). Some mental illnesses , including depression and psychosis , may produce symptoms that must be differentiated from both delirium and dementia. These are differently diagnosed as pseudodementias , and any dementia evaluation needs to include a depression screening such as
12180-599: The cooperation of George and Harry Vanda. The Young brothers decided to abandon their glam rock image; instead, they pursued a pub rock sound. To this end, they agreed that Evans was no longer a suitable frontman. In September 1974, Bon Scott , a vocalist previously with the Valentines (1966–1970) and Fraternity (1971–1973), joined AC/DC after his former bandmate Vince Lovegrove introduced him to George during their stopover in Adelaide in August. Scott worked as
12325-470: The early 1990s with the release of album The Razors Edge (1990); it was their only record to feature Slade, as Rudd returned in 1994. Rudd has since recorded five more albums with the band, starting with Ballbreaker (1995). Their fifteenth studio album, Black Ice , was the second highest-selling record of 2008 and their highest chart peak since For Those About to Rock , eventually reaching number one worldwide. The band's line-up remained
12470-891: The elimination of the causative agent. A 2019 review found no association between celiac disease and dementia overall but a potential association with vascular dementia. A 2018 review found a link between celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity and cognitive impairment and that celiac disease may be associated with Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and frontotemporal dementia . A strict gluten-free diet started early may protect against dementia associated with gluten-related disorders . Cases of easily reversible dementia include hypothyroidism , vitamin B 12 deficiency , Lyme disease , and neurosyphilis . For Lyme disease and neurosyphilis, testing should be done if risk factors are present. Because risk factors are often difficult to determine, testing for neurosyphilis and Lyme disease, as well as other mentioned factors, may be undertaken as
12615-520: The first signs. As dementia progresses, initial symptoms generally worsen. The rate of decline is different for each person. MMSE scores between 6 and 17 signal moderate dementia. For example, people with moderate Alzheimer's dementia lose almost all new information. People with dementia may be severely impaired in solving problems, and their social judgment is often impaired. They cannot usually function outside their own home, and generally should not be left alone. They may be able to do simple chores around
12760-457: The frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes, as well as the cerebellum, thalamus, and hippocampus. This loss can be more notable, with greater cognitive impairments seen in those aged 65 years and older. More than one type of dementia, known as mixed dementia, may exist together in about 10% of dementia cases. The most common type of mixed dementia is Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia. This particular type of mixed dementia's main onsets are
12905-410: The group could disband. However, Johnson stated that despite Malcolm's absence, they would return to Vancouver to record their sixteenth studio album, Rock or Bust . In July, AC/DC announced that they had finished recording it and that Stevie had replaced Malcolm in the studio. On 23 September, AC/DC members confirmed that Malcolm had officially retired from performing. Malcolm's last show with
13050-471: The group had been on 28 June 2010 in Bilbao, Spain; he died on 18 November 2017 at the age of 64 due to his dementia . Rudd confirmed that there would be another AC/DC tour and that they had no intention of retiring. On 23 September 2014, The band revealed that Rock or Bust , featuring eleven tracks, would be released on 28 November as the first AC/DC album in the band's history without Malcolm on
13195-401: The group. Johnson sang Ike & Tina Turner 's " Nutbush City Limits " and then " Whole Lotta Rosie " from Let There Be Rock . After they worked through the rest of the applicants in the following days, Johnson returned for a second audition. Angus later recalled that Scott himself had praised Johnson's singing. On 29 March 1980, Malcolm offered Johnson a place in the band, much to
13340-539: The house but not much else, and begin to require assistance for personal care and hygiene beyond simple reminders. A lack of insight into having the condition will become evident. People with late-stage dementia typically turn increasingly inward and need assistance with most or all of their personal care. People with dementia in the late stages usually need 24-hour supervision to ensure their personal safety, and meeting of basic needs. If left unsupervised, they may wander or fall; may not recognize common dangers such as
13485-415: The idea was Margaret's. He portrayed a boy "straight from school to play his guitar." On stage, Evans was occasionally replaced on lead vocals by their first manager , Denis Loughlin from Sherbet. In Paul Stenning 's book AC/DC: Two Sides to Every Glory , he states that Evans and Loughlin were clashing and as a consequence, other members developed bitter feelings towards Evans. The group recorded
13630-476: The inductees. Notably, former bassist Mark Evans (who appeared on four albums in the 1970s) was initially announced as an inductee, but six weeks after the announcement, his inclusion was quietly omitted. The group performed at Molson Canadian Rocks for Toronto , supporting the Rolling Stones, with Rush and other artists, on 30 July 2003. The benefit concert assisted the city's tourism industry, which

On 28 September 2020, the band updated their social media accounts posting a teaser video, which led to speculation of their "comeback, possibly as early as this week or next week." On 1 October, AC/DC released a snippet of their new song " Shot in the Dark ". On 7 October, the band confirmed the upcoming release on 13 November of their next studio album, Power Up and issued "Shot in
14065-418: The list of possibilities, however, for an elderly person with memory trouble. Changes in thinking, hearing and vision are associated with normal ageing and can cause problems when diagnosing dementia due to the similarities. Given the challenging nature of predicting the onset of dementia and making a dementia diagnosis clinical decision making aids underpinned by machine learning and artificial intelligence have
14210-505: The lyric "so lock up your daughter", which was modified into their first United Kingdom tour's name. Browning sent promo material to contacts in London, which came to the attention of Phil Carson of Atlantic Records . AC/DC signed an international deal with Atlantic in 1976. On their arrival in London in April, their scheduled tour with Back Street Crawler was cancelled due to the death of that group's guitarist, Paul Kossoff . As
14355-499: The made-for-radio " Who Made Who ", reaching number nine in Australia and number 16 in the UK. The associated album Who Made Who is the soundtrack to Stephen King 's film Maximum Overdrive ; it brought together older hits, such as "You Shook Me All Night Long", with a few new songs – the title track and two instrumentals, "D.T." and "Chase the Ace". In February 1988, both AC/DC and Vanda & Young were inducted into
14500-415: The major neurocognitive disorder (dementia) subtypes. Kynurenine is a metabolite of tryptophan that regulates microbiome signaling, immune cell response, and neuronal excitation. A disruption in the kynurenine pathway may be associated with the neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive prognosis in mild dementia. In the early stage of dementia, symptoms become noticeable to other people. In addition,
14645-399: The meaning of objects as well. For example, a drawing of a bird, dog, and an airplane in someone with FTD may all appear almost the same. In a classic test for this, a patient is shown a picture of a pyramid and below it a picture of both a palm tree and a pine tree. The person is asked to say which one goes best with the pyramid. In SV-PPA the person cannot answer that question. The other type
14790-410: The most common signs is apathy , or not caring about anything. Apathy, however, is a common symptom in many dementias. Two types of FTD feature aphasia (language problems) as the main symptom. One type is called semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (SV-PPA). The main feature of this is the loss of the meaning of words. It may begin with difficulty naming things. The person eventually may lose
14935-425: The neurocognitive deficits may sometimes show improvement with treatment of the causative medical condition. Diagnosis of dementia is usually based on history of the illness and cognitive testing with imaging . Blood tests may be taken to rule out other possible causes that may be reversible, such as hypothyroidism (an underactive thyroid), and to determine the dementia subtype. One commonly used cognitive test
15080-461: The other dementia subtypes. Dementia with Lewy bodies has the primary symptoms of fluctuating cognition, alertness or attention; REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD); one or more of the main features of parkinsonism , not due to medication or stroke; and repeated visual hallucinations. The visual hallucinations in DLB are generally vivid hallucinations of people or animals and they often occur when someone
15225-417: The outcome. Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death worldwide and has 10 million new cases reported every year (approximately one every three seconds). There is no known cure for dementia. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil are often used and may be beneficial in mild to moderate disorder, but the overall benefit may be minor. There are many measures that can improve
15370-503: The pair left before it was issued. Before formation, Malcolm teamed with ex-Velvet Underground bass guitarist Mick Sheffzick and Burgess for his proposed group. Van Kriedt took over from Sheffzick for bass guitar, then Evans responded to an ad in the Sydney Morning Herald and then Angus joined after passing an audition. Upon formation, Malcolm and Angus developed the band's name after their sister Margaret pointed out
15515-441: The person realizes they have memory problems. The part of the brain most affected by Alzheimer's is the hippocampus . Other parts that show atrophy (shrinking) include the temporal and parietal lobes . Although this pattern of brain shrinkage suggests Alzheimer's, it is variable and a brain scan is insufficient for a diagnosis. Little is known about the events that occur during and that actually cause Alzheimer's disease. This
15660-468: The potential to enhance clinical practice. Various brief cognitive tests (5–15 minutes) have reasonable reliability to screen for dementia, but may be affected by factors such as age, education and ethnicity. Age and education have a significant influence on the diagnosis of dementia. For example, Individuals with lower education are more likely to be diagnosed with dementia than their educated counterparts. While many tests have been studied, presently
15805-599: The prodromal stage may be subtle, and the early signs often become apparent only in hindsight. Of those diagnosed with MCI, 70% later progress to dementia. In mild cognitive impairment, changes in the person's brain have been happening for a long time, but the symptoms are just beginning to appear. These problems, however, are not severe enough to affect daily function. If and when they do, the diagnosis becomes dementia. The person may have some memory problems and trouble finding words, but they can solve everyday problems and competently handle their life affairs. During this stage, it
15950-884: The quality of life of a person with dementia and their caregivers. Cognitive and behavioral interventions may be appropriate for treating the associated symptoms of depression. The signs and symptoms of dementia are termed as the neuropsychiatric symptoms —also known as the behavioral and psychological symptoms—of dementia. The behavioral symptoms can include agitation , restlessness, inappropriate behavior, sexual disinhibition, and verbal or physical aggression. These symptoms may result from impairments in cognitive inhibition . The psychological symptoms can include depression, hallucinations (most often visual), delusions, apathy, and anxiety. The most commonly affected areas of brain function include memory , language , attention , problem solving , and visuospatial function affecting perception and orientation. The symptoms progress at
16095-576: The real Australian pub sound—'not like that American sound, smooth and creamy, nicey, nicey.'" Glenn A. Baker felt they played "rib-crushing, blood-curdling, brain damaging, no bullshit, thunder rock". The Canberra Times ' Tony Catterall reviewed T.N.T. , in which "[they] wallow in the lumpen proletarianism that's the home of punk rock" while comparing them with rivals Buster Brown, which are "more imaginative and musically better". Music journalist Ed Nimmervoll summarised, "If we tried to isolate what has characterised Australian rock and roll from

The band signed with Albert Productions in June 1974. "Can I Sit Next to You, Girl", backed with "Rockin' in
17255-554: The singer's surprise. Out of respect for Scott, the band wanted a vocalist who would not be an imitator. In addition to his distinctive voice, demeanour and love of classic soul and blues music, the group were impressed by Johnson's engaging personality. Johnson was officially announced as the lead singer of AC/DC on 1 April. With Johnson, the group completed the songwriting previously began with Scott for Back in Black . Recording took place at Compass Point Studios in The Bahamas

Rudd was replaced by ex- A II Z drummer Simon Wright in July 1983, after they held over 700 auditions in
17545-458: The symbol "AC/DC" on the AC adapter of her sewing machine. A.C./D.C. is an abbreviation for alternating current / direct current electricity. The brothers felt that this name symbolised the band's raw energy and the power-driven performances of their music. It is pronounced one letter at a time, though the band are colloquially known as Acca Dacca in Australia. The AC/DC band name is stylised with
17690-1010: The symptoms begin to interfere with daily activities, and will register a score on a mini–mental state examination (MMSE). MMSE scores are set at 24 to 30 for a normal cognitive rating and lower scores reflect severity of symptoms. The symptoms are dependent on the type of dementia. More complicated chores and tasks around the house or at work become more difficult. The person can usually still take care of themselves but may forget things like taking pills or doing laundry and may need prompting or reminders. The symptoms of early dementia usually include memory difficulty, but can also include some word-finding problems , and problems with executive functions of planning and organization. Managing finances may prove difficult. Other signs might be getting lost in new places, repeating things, and personality changes. In some types of dementia, such as dementia with Lewy bodies and frontotemporal dementia , personality changes and difficulty with organization and planning may be
17835-646: The symptoms of FTD (behavior, language and movement problems) co-occurring with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (loss of motor neurons). Two FTD-related disorders are progressive supranuclear palsy (also classed as a Parkinson-plus syndrome), and corticobasal degeneration . These disorders are tau-associated. Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in a single gene HTT , that encodes for huntingtin protein. Symptoms include cognitive impairment and this usually declines further into dementia. The first main symptoms of Huntington's disease often include: HIV-associated dementia results as
17980-557: The thing with [Rudd] and now with [Johnson], it's a changed animal. I feel in my gut it's the right thing." At the end of the Rock or Bust World Tour, he released a video statement confirming his departure. His last show with AC/DC before the hiatus was in Philadelphia on 20 September 2016. After completing the tour in 2016, AC/DC went on hiatus. George Young died on 22 October 2017, aged 70. In August 2018, speculation grew that former members Johnson and Rudd were back working with
