dementia. without new scientific breakthroughs, those numbers will continue to rise along with the terrible toll on our nation's health and its economy that this disease creates. as you've mentioned already, the alzheimer's association estimates that our nation is currently spending more than $200 billion a year on care of people with alzheimer's. and those costs are projected to soar to $1.2 trillion annually by 2050. to put this into context, consider how much our nation is spending on medical research. nih's budget was $29.1 billion in fy-'13, with $504 million of that devoted to alzheimer's disease research. we are thrilled that the fy-'14 omnibus includes an additional $100 million for research on diseases of ageing, including alzheimer's disease. in our effort to find ways to prevent, delay, or treat alzheimer's and other dementias, we are bringing to bear all possible technologies from genomics to imaging to big data tools. but this task is immense. there are great many things we still d

we've got a long-term strategic plan that relates to dementia in our county and other places have begun to use this for an example this data has found its way into the data this is a population that is growing rapidly. for us we see consistency with the recommendations here as we've seen in other plans as well. backing up a minute you'll see a list of some of the items. that determined to be crucial elements of any long term car system the behavioral health and nutrition he know people need. the last i guess there's a couple of recommendations that we have been moving on. quickly because the opportunity presented itself and one of them was that there was a recommendation related to trying to make sure that nonprofit providers having had as much opportunity as possible to work in the business world of managed care. so in this last year the administration for community living in washington, d.c. had a quest of proposals out they were will i willing to fund 9 community in the country and the idea was exactly what we put so what the plan if providers who are unaccustomed to working with the

we're here to discuss the latest reserng into alzheimer's disease and related dementias.efore getting into the science, i would like to thank you for the recent fy-'41 omnibus appropriation for nih. this subcommittee came together in a bipartisan way to reverse the deeply troubling downward spiral of support that nih has found costing us about 25% of our purchasing power for research over the last ten years. while difficult trade-offs did not ultimately make it possible in fy-'14 to completely reverse the devastating effects of the fy-'13 sequester, we were gratified nih was able to turn that corner. let me begin my report on the scientific challenges we face in alzheimer's by underscoring that all of the work i'm going to discuss is really about helping patients and their loved ones. that's what we are committed to and we know you are too. one of the most famous of those patients is country music star glen campbell. along with a number of you, i was thrilled to be on hand last spring when glen was honored at the alzheimer's association gala. here's a photo of him and me

let's say we have mental health conservatorship and the probate code for people that have dementia and need the support of a conservatorship throughout the duration of the rest of their life. we look towards those involuntary services as a last resort. what we are going to be working with prior to that time is try to connect to a client with a ray of services. some of those services are connecting clients to managed programs like clf and paragraphs -- programs that you are well aware of. we have the support from a department which is very limited, but we have an emergency fund and we use that to pay for emergency medications for our clients, emergency food. we've spent a lot of money for food for our clients and will pay for emergency short-term stays at a motel or even payback rent for clients if it will really keep them safe and that's what the situation is calling for. we also do a lot of work to really try to pull in collateral parties. of course we are working to pull in family members any support of individuals that might be able to help the client that we are working with regain

and one of the other strategic plans that has come out of the council is the ten-year dementia, san francisco plan. and i think that it was enormously important that the council and this design committee was looking back over the other things that have been recommended and bringing forward the things that still are evident in our community now and so you will see when you read the document that there is a substantial information in there about care givers and supporting the care givers as well as looking at demen that and the difficulty that is or arises from the people that have that disease, and the next one is training for the care givers and pretty self-explanatory. >> but i think that for those of us who work within the system of it, we know that there are things that we could improve and maybe more flexibility and more options for consume and hers so on and so again, when we are able to, at how we or how ihss becomes better than it is and ihss is one of those four programs that will be rolled into managed care. and the next slide. >> could i ask you a quick question and my apo

. >> well, the symptoms of dementia are well-known. short term memory loss.culty in problem solving and learning, confusion. what is unclear is why and when the deterioration begins. it's believed that damage to the brain begins 10 years before the symptoms emerge. this makes finding the decide an appealing prospect. searchers analyzed blood and identified 10 lipids, and the bio markers are believe to reveal the break down of brain and they're able to predict whether a person would develop alzheimer's disease within three years. >> in this study we sought to find a set of circulating molecules in the blood of individuals who were cognitively normal, that would allow us to predict who in the next several years would develop alzheimer's disease. that's exactly what we found. >> the scientists are investigating whether the test will work earlier than three years before the onset of symptoms and say the sooner the disease can be discovered the more effective therapies can be to slow or prevent it. >> this observe station that obe reporting suggests that we can te

lack capacity to make medical decision or financial decisions for themselves and that's because of dementia or a severe mental health diagnosis. we might look at involuntary services if the capacity issue is there and if there are significant safety risk to the client. with the clients that are being abused sometimes the safety issue is more apparent. where they have already shown that they are not able to deal with the risk and it would be very appropriate to safe guard finances. in terms of -- neglect, it's someone who clearly can manage their medical care, clearly cannot manage their own really basic necessities. can they provide for food, clothing and shelter. along those lines, i know there was an interest in speaking to the 51/50 criteria. adult protective services workers we do not have 51/50 authority. it's really essentially the way that the welfare institutions coda allow for the first step of an lps mental health conservatorship and this is when they are placed in involuntary hold and taken to psychiatric services and even our elderly clients that are on a 5150 are on a through g

after three years, 53 patients were diagnosed with either alzheimer's or early dementia. when analyzing the blood of those 53 patients, researchers found a group of 10 lipids or fats that were at lower levels than in healthy patients. dr. howard federoff of georgetown university is the lead researcher. >> we had people enrolled who were cognitively normal, and we wanted to know if the panel would predict their cognitive impairment. >> reporter: it did. researchers tested the stored blood of people who were originally normal but developed dementia over three years. nine of the 10 tested positive. if this is validated, what are the implications of the work? >> we have a basis on finding very much at-risk individuals which has never existed before. >> reporter: bob bressler and the other participants were not told the results, a condition of taking part in the study. if a test becomes available, he would want to get it. >> if i have something-- some disease, even though i couldn't be cured, i would certainly want to know about it. >> reporter: dr. federoff says this work nee

and those, were other people who started off normal and developed alzheimer's or dementia.d then they looked at the blood of both groups. they looked at like 4500 different molecules. and of those they picked about ten lipids, lipids are fats that are in the bloodstream, and they were able to come up with a panel of ten that helped fingerprint that helped to say this is kind of characteristic of somebody who will get alzheimer's, that's fine. now the question is, does it predict somebody who is normal who is going to go on to get alzheimer's? so they had another group of people, their blood was still frozen. they hadn't looked at them yet and they examined that group. and it turns out that they were able to pick out nine of ten people who started off normal and developed dementia or alzheimer's. now the big question is what about false positives, people who were normal and ended up having a positive test. in that they found that two out of 20 people who were actually normal tested positive is so you don't want to have that. that is called a false positive there is a lot mor
