ALZHEIMER'S PROJECT, THE: GRANDPA, DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?

With Maria Shriver

Based on the book What's Happening to Grandpa? By Maria Shriver, this program tells the stories of five children, ages 6 through 15, who are confronted by the effects of Alzheimer's disease on their grandparents. Commentary by Shriver, whose father had Alzheimer's, offers grandchildren of patients compassionate advice on how to cope with a beloved family member's gradual decline into dementia through these five case study "lessons." Grandpa, Do You Know Who I Am? Is a valuable resource both for young people and for counselors and healthcare professionals who provide guidance to children and their families.

    CARING FOR THE FRAIL AND IMMOBILE

    Although the elderly, infirm, and bedridden may have the potential to improve their health and physical performance, they often display less progress than other patients. For this reason, inexperienced caregivers can become discouraged. This program serves as a source of inspiration for those who are working to help frail and immobilized patients. Viewers are reminded that everyone ages in a unique way; that even the most basic daily activities can have tremendous benefits, both mental and physical; and that-in addition to dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's-depression is a major factor to consider. The importance of social interaction is also a significant topic.

    CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN HEALTH CARE FOR THE ELDERLY: PRACTICAL STRATEGIES FOR RESOLVING CONFLICT

    Managing conflict effectively is essential to a productive work environment. This program plays out some of the potential conflicts that can occur in an aged care facility, shows the negative responses to disagreements, and then offers practical techniques to better deal with disagreements in a health care setting. Actors demonstrate how conflicts between staff and relatives can often be resolved by using fogging and negative assertion; how tension between peers can be alleviated by self-disclosure and free information; and how disagreements between staff and superiors can be dealt with using the broken-record, workable-compromise, and negative-inquiry techniques.

    CONFLICT MANAGEMENT IN HEALTH CARE FOR THE ELDERLY: UNDERSTANDING THE NATURE OF CONFLICT

    In a health care setting, intricate ethical, moral, and professional obligations make the workplace particularly prone to conflict. Focusing specifically on aged care, this program examines the typical conflicts that can occur at work and the most productive ways to handle them. First, conflict is defined, and situations in which it is more likely to arise as well as indicators of forthcoming disagreements are outlined. Next, the five general styles of conflict are explained and the skills to manage any type of conflict are summarized. Then, behaviors that elicit resistance, such as blaming others and making threats, and those that elicit cooperation, such as making eye contact and displaying empathy, are reviewed.

    DEALING WITH DEGENERATIVE DISK DISEASE

    Degenerative disk disease is not really a disease at all, but the result of aging, injury, or physical activity. Nonetheless, the condition can be both painful and debilitating, and by late middle age, most people exhibit some degree of spinal disk deterioration. This program profiles two patients with lumbar DDD-one an office worker, the other a firefighter-who get relief through two entirely different courses of treatment. The first opts to address the symptoms with physical therapy and a form of acupuncture called intramuscular stimulation, while the second decides to eliminate the root cause of the discomfort with disk replacement surgery. The importance of early diagnosis is emphasized.

    CAREERS IN THE SCIENCES: CAREERS IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES

    There's nothing boring about stopping a speeding bullet, especially when it's accomplished with liquid. How about designing robots based on insect anatomy...or using computers to figure out what George Washington really looked like? This program shows students the thrills and rewards of working in the physical sciences, demonstrating that becoming a chemist, physicist, or engineer involves fun, personal challenges, and the chance to develop groundbreaking technologies. The program profiles a mechanical engineer, a chemical engineer, a materials scientist, a mathematician, and a forensic scientist specializing in digital reconstruction.

    Reviews

The interviewees are shown in their work environment, such as an entomologist in the jungles of Madagascar and a mechanical engineer testing robots over rough forest terrain.... Following the interviews, a narrator suggests related jobs in the career field, and graphics and bar graphs show income and years of schooling required. A must have for high school students." - School Library Journal

  • "Presents an illuminating look at the work of each scientist portrayed. The content is relevant and presented in an interesting manner.... Will capture and hold students' attention....

    MEDICAL CHALLENGES OF THE 21ST CENTURY - DEMENTIA: TREATMENTS AND POTENTIAL CURES

    It can affect anyone, from night clerk to Nobel laureate. Physicians have identified more than 70 potential causes of irreversible mental deficiency, or dementia-which most often takes the form of Alzheimer's disease-and worldwide data indicate that its occurrence is on an upward trend. This program spotlights promising medical trials aimed at halting the mental and physiological tragedy of dementia. Linking the disease to organic neuronal damage, the film focuses on the development of medicines and vaccinations that could potentially cure it. Viewers are also introduced to therapeutic methods that make dementia less frightening and may help to relieve sufferers on the journey into a world devoid of memory.

    GROWING OLD

    Most people are unwilling to confront aging - even many seniors live in denial of it. Some fear losing their independence and autonomy, while others simply can't accept the graying of their hair. This program explores the varied landscape of aging in America, presenting the realities - physical, medical, emotional, and economic - of growing old in a youth -obsessed society. Whether they are well off in retirement, financially marginalized, in good health, or terminally ill, the film's participants provide moving and provocative commentary and raise several challenging questions. What exactly is the healthy way to grow old? Is age a disease to be battled or a beautiful stage of life to be embraced and celebrated? Perhaps most importantly, how can we reverse our society's neglect of the elderly?

    HOLDING BACK THE YEARS? THE RACE TO SLOW THE AGING PROCESS

    This program airs conflicting viewpoints of biologists, nutritionists, and geriatric experts as it presents efforts being made to dramatically slow the process of aging. Factors impacting the rate of aging and bodily changes associated with aging are analyzed, and insights into the telomere hypothesis, the oxidative stress hypothesis, and hormone depletion associated with aging are provided. Research into telomere elongation is discussed, and two controversial therapies - calorie restriction and hormone replacement - are debated. A visit to a documented longevity village in Japan, home to 112 -year -old Yoko Minagawa, is included as well.

    LOW BACK PAIN

    It bothers-and sometimes debilitates-an estimated 80 percent of Americans at some time during their adult lives. And low back pain shows no sign of going away, despite current research into its causes and potential cures. This program examines the ongoing health issue through case studies, interviews with medical experts, and animated graphics showing spinal anatomy, movement, and conditions. Highlighting the major factors that contribute to low back pain, the program discusses the different levels of the disorder-acute, recurrent, and chronic-and a variety of treatments, including physical therapy, epidural steroid injections, and both compression and fusion surgery.

    PHYSICS IN BASEBALL, THE

    When you use baseball to demonstrate the principles of physics, your students will see science in a whole new way. Divided into four segments, this program takes a close look at the pitch (how gravity, drag, and the Magnus force are used to manipulate the path of the ball); the hit (kinetic energy, the coefficient of restitution, and Newton's Laws of Motion - and the changes that result when rawhide meets wood); the flight (the effects of launch angle, drag, turbulence, temperature, air density, and the Magnus force on a ball during its flight to the bleachers); and running the bases (force, mass, inertia, and acceleration as the crowd goes wild!). A fascinating and informative teaching tool.

    WELL INTO YOUR FUTURE: MENTAL HEALTH AND AGING - DEPRESSION: NOT A NORMAL PART OF AGING

    Though aging has its challenges, depression and its frequent companion, substance abuse, need not be among them. This program dispels the myth that there is something inherently depressing about aging. It explores the complex relationship between depression, alcohol, and substance abuse, showing how knowledge of symptoms, family support, and early treatment can restore the capacity for pleasure and contentment in most seniors' lives. Interviews with spouses, family members, social workers, and geriatric psychiatrists are combined with candid, firsthand accounts.

    AGING

    The populations of many countries are aging. While this demographic trend is relatively recent, the aging process itself is as old as life. What causes us to age biologically? Is it possible, or even desirable, to slow the process down, or try to eliminate it? This program lets the researchers speak. An important aspect of their work lies in understanding the cause of Alzheimer's disease, and developing effective treatments.

    AGING: GROWING OLD IN A YOUTH-CENTERED CULTURE - LIVING LONGER ... AGING WELL

    Although many cultures venerate their elders, looking to them as living repositories of wisdom and experience, America, with its "forever young" self -image, does not. Lacking societal support, how are Americans supposed to age well - to grow older with grace and understanding -and make life's final decades a meaningful experience? This program features the stories of exemplary individuals who, despite the inhospitable social climate, are growing older with courage and dignity.

    DESPERATE ACT, A: SUICIDE AND THE ELDERLY

    Families are often ashamed of it, institutions frequently downplay it, and society usually denies that it even exists: suicide among the elderly. This program comes to grips with the chronic depression that leads too many senior citizens to take their own lives. Promoting prevention, intervention, and follow-up, medical experts use three case studies as a basis for discussing the warning signs of depression and treatment through counseling, education, medication, electroconvulsive therapy, and occupational therapy. Ageism and the marginalization of seniors in a youth-dominated culture are also addressed.

    DYING WITH DIGNITY: THE SUN CITY CHOICE

    In this program, NewsHour correspondent Susan Dentzer reports on life and death in Sun City, Arizona, a vibrant retirement community where hospice is the preferred form of end -of -life care. Dartmouth Medical School's John Wennberg and others consider the desire of many senior citizens with terminal illnesses to make peace with death rather than fight it. They also confront the fact that statistics show no direct correlation between costly ICU interventions and patient longevity. As America's elderly population doubles over the next 35 years, will more seniors opt for meeting the end in the Sun City way?

    ALZHEIMER'S: A TRUE STORY

    Alzheimer's is a disease that affects not only the patient, but all who love and care for that person as well. This poignant program allows a rare glimpse into one couple's experience with the fatal illness that tore their life apart, tracking the mental deterioration of Malcolm Pointon-husband, father, Cambridge professor, and gifted pianist, diagnosed at only 51 years of age. The documentary sympathetically yet unflinchingly chronicles Malcolm's descent into dementia and his wife Barbara's unyielding commitment to be there "in sickness and in health." Some content may be objectionable.

    ALZHEIMER'S: THE TANGLED MIND

    Until now, a diagnosis of this debilitating disease meant uncertainty and despair. Now, thanks to the pioneering efforts of researchers, breakthroughs are being made in treatments that promise hope for patients. In this program, researchers discuss how new drugs, close to approval, and old drugs, such as anti-inflammatories, are being used to alleviate symptoms. In one case study, a patient is treated with nerve growth factor. We also meet a doctor who uses an experimental form of CAT scanning to identify people at risk of developing the disease.

    AGING WELL

    This program introduces two senior women, a 76 -year -old and a 65 -year -old, as examples of the "new" senior citizen of the '90s. The program explains how these people are living longer than their parents did and why they are staying healthier. It examines medical advances that continue to boost our life expectancy rate, and the role that lifestyle changes play. The program also explores what seniors can do to motivate themselves to keep their mental powers sharp, and the effects of aging on mental skills. Finally, the program looks at the emotional issues of aging, such as the death of one's spouse, and explores how seniors can be helped to overcome feelings of loneliness and uselessness.

    DEATH

    We talk little of it, although it fascinates us. What is death, and why is it the ultimate destiny of every living organism? This program shows that death is an essential element in the survival of species. Medicine is trying to postpone death and medical progress has required a new definition of death: cerebral death. The program covers the psychological, social, and religious dimensions of death, mourning, and the acceptance of death.

    HOW TO LIVE LONGER...BETTER

    This program focuses on the lifestyle changes, with emphasis on exercise, that are playing an important part in extending the lifespan of Americans. Running and walking are covered; a cardiologist cautions that exercise must be approached carefully and done regularly without intermittent overexertion. The role of pharmaceuticals in prolonging life is discussed, as well as the avoidance of smoking and excessive alcohol, and the need for both social involvement and the availability of good medical care.
