-
Cognitive reserve (CR) is a potential mechanism to cope with brain damage.
-
Virtual Reality (VR) has emerged as a promising tool in many domains of therapy and rehabilitation, and has recently attracted the attention of researchers and clinicians working with elderly people with MCI, Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
-
Physical and cognitive idleness constitute significant risk factors for the clinical manifestation of age-related neurodegenerative diseases.
-
Cognitive training offers the potential for individualised learning, prevention of cognitive decline, and rehabilitation.
-
Most HCWs recognised a need for palliative care for people with PD; however several barriers to implementing a palliative care approach in this population need to be addressed.
-
Causal treatments for neurodegenerative diseases are now being developed and tested, and thus a molecular diagnosis is desirable.
-
Nursing homes generally met three quarters of the pre-defined criteria for advance care planning policy.
Why it matters
This study found no statistically significant correlations between advance care planning policy and actual practice in nursing homes. It concluded that while policy evaluations were promising, actual practice needs improvement.
-
The results of the study identified that professionals across Europe have different opinions regarding the time point when to consider a person with dementia in need of palliative care.
-
For people with dementia living and dying in care homes, EoL interventions need to provide strategies that can accommodate or "hold" the inevitable and often unresolvable uncertainties of providing and receiving care in these settings.
-
Uncontrollable stress has been recognized to influence the hippocampus at various levels of analysis.
-
Dealing with the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) is often complex.
-
In acute ischemic stroke, critical hypoperfusion is a frequent cause of hypoxic tissue injury: As cerebral blood flow (CBF) falls below the ischemic threshold of 20 mL/100 mL/min, neurological symptoms develop and hypoxic tissue injury evolves within minutes or hours unless the oxygen supply is restored.
-
Exposure to elevated levels of PM2.5 was associated with smaller total cerebral brain volume, a marker of age-associated brain atrophy, and with higher odds of covert brain infarcts.
-
The occurrence of different and opposed response patterns after the same training indicates a risk in applying classical group statistics.
-
At least nine recent population-based studies of dementia incidence or prevalence have shown a declining age-specific risk in the US, England, The Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark.
-
The advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy has prolonged the life expectancy of HIV patients and decreased the number of adults who progress to AIDS and HIV-associated dementia.
-
Place of death of older people who died from a dementia-related disease differs substantially between countries, which might point to organizational differences in end-of-life care provision.
-
Scientific evidence continues to demonstrate the linkage of vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia such as Alzheimer's disease.
-
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the leading cause of hospitalization for those over the age of 65 and represents a significant clinical and economic burden.
-
Future palliative care policy decisions in Ireland must consider the rapidly aging Irish population with the accompanying increase in deaths from cancer, dementia, and neurodegenerative disease and associated palliative care need.
-
International experts selected a set of 23 QIs for the organisation of palliative care.
-
A lighting intervention, tailored to increase daytime circadian stimulation, can be used to increase sleep quality and improve behavior in patients with ADRD.
-
Cognitive impairment and memory dysfunction following stroke diagnosis are common symptoms that significantly affect the survivors' quality of life.
-
The mean age of caregivers and AD spouses was 75.2 (SD 7.0) and 77.4 years (SD 5.6), respectively.
Why it matters
This study found that male caregivers were associated with poorer nutrient intake in couples where one partner has Alzheimer disease. It is about caregiver gender and nutrition, not about treating, curing or preventing Alzheimer disease.
-
The ongoing change in long-term care from institutional care to housing services causes major challenges to the continuity of end-of-life care.
