6. Closing address
There was a report on cases where respondings were difficult, based on the possibility of diseases other than dementia.
Today's program showed some of the regional characteristics of Aso: there were many hospitalizations for physical management as well as for the treatment of dementia. The Q and A session was also lively.
Advice
and opinions were given by the doctors who have experience in
treating patients with loss of apetite from various perspectives,
such as the state of oral cavity, form of food, and swallowing
function.
A lecture was given on the drug treatment in the clinical practice for Lewy body dementia.
Another lecture was given on CDT benefits and trendency by disease in an easy-to-understand manner
Currently, there are no regulations to remove garbage from the houses, but we are considering cross-occupational collaboration, etc. at community care meetings to provide support that does not make the people live in the houses isolated.
... I hope that you enjoyed the social gathering (year-end party) after the workshop...
This year, the role of the 'Master of Paper, Rock, Scissors' was played by Mr. Yamada, the Head of Bureau.

The next 36th Case study workshop will take place at Kumamoto University Hospital on February 14 (Sat), 2015. We wish you all a happy new year.
