00:00This guideline fills a void, a void both for the workers and for the population, for the
00:12families themselves, this is because we continue to bring back a stigma that tells us that
00:18dementia is not curable, I do not say they are not curable, they are not curable, in reality
00:25it is not true that a person with Alzheimer's disease must lose hope of being able to continue
00:32to live his own disease well, it is not true that he cannot continue to have a quality
00:38of life worthy of being lived, clearly everything will also depend on the employment of
00:44the services, because the first things, for example, that families ask for are those
00:48not to be left alone, they do not want to abandon their patient, but they do not want
00:53to be left alone, the guidelines that take up the guidelines of the NICE of the Anglo-Saxon
01:01Country of 2018 have been implemented and above all, unlike the NICE, the My Cognitive
01:10Impairment has been taken into consideration, all that gray area, we said, of cognitive
01:17impairment, which is not a disease from a nosological point of view, but which can be
01:24considered a phase of transition towards dementia, then it is extremely important also that
01:29within the guidelines there are all the diagnostic and therapeutic paths of employment, both
01:36from a pharmacological point of view and from an assistance point of view, a whole series
01:41of recommendations regarding non-pharmacological therapies and I remind you that in this
01:46case there are 167 recommendations, of which many strong recommendations that are based
01:53on the GRADE method and therefore on the literature, an extremely important work has also been
01:59done, extremely rigid from a methodological point of view.
02:03Furthermore, all the evolution of the disease is taken into consideration, from the preclinical
02:11phase to the diagnostic phase in the major neurocognitive disorder of a mild degree, of a
02:16moderate degree, of an advanced degree, also with regard to palliative care.
02:20So these guidelines are addressed not only to employees, as we said, but also to family
02:26members, there is also a very well-developed opusculum that is addressed to family members
02:33and that can be downloaded from the website of the National Guidelines System.
