This GEM Research and Educational Project
Data collection for The GEM Center’s Research and Educational Project began last week with the mailing of questionnaires to a randomly selected sample of Dare County residents. These potential research participants were provided the opportunity to assess their own knowledge of Alzheimer’s Disease by completing the Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Scale, a 30 question instrument that focuses on the causes, recognition and treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease. The study is funded in part by a grant from the Outer Banks Community Foundation.
The Research and Educational Project was funded after a preliminary study by the GEM Center revealed that the incidence rate for Dare residents may be considerably higher than that of the country as a whole. Indeed, this earlier study estimates that close to 1,000 Dare residents may currently be experiencing Alzheimer’s Disease.
For a variety of reasons, including the knowledge of family members, Alzheimer’s Disease is very difficult to recognize. Consequently major symptoms (memory lapse and loss) are sometimes ignored or attributed to other diseases and disorders. As a result, the suffering of Alzheimer’s patient, as well as that of family members, often goes untreated. In addition to facilitating the movement of patients and family members toward effective help with this severe illness, the goals of the study also include the identification of the particular areas of Alzheimer’s knowledge that GEM needs to prioritize in its educational and outreach efforts.
Mrs. Gail Sonnesco, MS, Executive Director of the GEM Center, directs the project’s educational component. Dr. Bob Green, Professor Emeritus at Virginia Commonwealth University, wrote the grant proposal and directs the research component. Assistance to both components is being provided by GEM Board Members and volunteers: Valerie Cummings, Nancy Kosanovitch NP, Gladys Jenkins, Mary Ellen Hawthorne, Jean Basnight Rosemary Fielder and Kathy Byrnes.

Having Trouble with Your Vision?
Having Trouble with Your Vision?
Every seven minutes, someone in America will permanently lose his or her eyesight. According to the American Foundation for the Blind, there are already over ten million Americans who have problems seeing, and the number is growing at an alarming rate ... among older people it is expected to more than double by the year 2030.
If you are having trouble seeing, call the North Carolina Division of Services for the Blind to learn more about services available to you. Remember that blindness and visual impairment can affect every one of us.
I am willing to help regardless of your county of residence.

Subject: Take Your Computer to the Device Doctor
| This Driver update utility (for Windows only) finds outdated drivers on your PC, and helps you download the latest versions, without charging you a dime. Using the utility, which can be installed or used as a portable application, is about as easy as it gets, just click the Begin Scan button, wait a couple of seconds, and you will be shown a list of drivers that can be updated. The download button for each driver will take you to the Driver Doctor website, where you can download the drivers for free, without signing up for anything at all. Most of the drivers come with setup programs, but some of them are nothing more than zip files, and would need to be installed manually, hopefully something they can improve on in the future. I use JAWS for Windows and had to use the JAWS Cursor to access sections of the program's screen but this wasn't too bad and I found eight drivers for my work computer running Windows XP. For Windows 7, I didn't have as much luck, with a few incorrect drivers being identified. That said, Windows 7 was only released recently, so expect that support to improve in the future. Device Doctor isn't perfect yet, but as a completely free, portable application that you can toss on your thumb drive, it's well worth a look. It might even save you some time searching for new drivers while you are fixing mom's PC. |
