-
Cognitive decline occurs in all persons during the aging process.
-
Identifying patients progressing to APD and suitable for device-aided therapies will enable general neurologists to assess the need for referral to movement disorder specialists and improve the quality of care and patient outcomes.
-
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is an objectively measured decline in cognition postoperatively compared with preoperative function.
-
Older adults with cognitive impairment face many healthcare challenges, chief among them participating in medical decision-making about their own health care.
-
Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is commonly observed on neuroimaging among elderly individuals and is recognized as a major vascular contributor to dementia, cognitive decline, gait impairment, mood disturbance and stroke.
-
Diabetes care guidelines recommend more relaxed glycemic targets for patients with specific chronic conditions because they are thought to have an increased risk of hypoglycemia, limited life expectancy, and/or high clinical complexity.
Why it matters
This study measured rates of hospital and emergency department care for severe low blood sugar among adults with diabetes and various conditions, finding higher rates in people with dementia and other conditions. It is about diabetes management safety, not about treating, curing, or preventing Alzheimer's disease.
-
Diet is the single most significant risk factor for disability and premature death.
-
This review highlights the need to integrate trauma-informed practices into hospice and palliative care.
-

This narrative review examines literature pertaining to possible physiological explanations for observed cognitive benefits stemming from improvements to cardiovascular fitness following chronic aerobic exercise.
-
In the advanced stages of illness, patients often face challenging decisions regarding their treatment and overall medical care.
-
Palliative care services would benefit from ensuring holistic approaches to supporting people with dementia, their carers and wider family networks.
-
Brain photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy using red to near-infrared (NIR) light is an innovative treatment for a wide range of neurological and psychological conditions.
-
Although not all settings currently require attention to the principles described, this article proposes these principles as best practice recommendations.
-
The evidence about the role the designed and built environment plays in supporting individuals living with dementia has been steadily mounting for almost 40 years.
-
The hippocampus is a highly stress susceptible structure and hippocampal abnormalities have been reported in a host of psychiatric disorders including major depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
-
Only one third (n = 10) of caregivers interviewed were prepared for the death, and the majority who were prepared were enrolled in hospice.
-
About half of the caregivers had significant levels of psychological distress.
-

Seven areas were identified as important to end-of-life care for people with dementia and/or family carers.
-
ABSTRACTBackground:Evidence concerning when and in which manner older people living in nursing homes (NHs) would prefer to discuss advance care planning (ACP) is still scarce.
-
People with dementia often fail to receive palliative care, despite increased recognition of their need and eligibility for such care.
-

Palliative medicine is a specialty that focuses on improving the quality of life for patients with serious or advanced medical conditions, and it is appropriate at any stage of disease, including at the time of diagnosis.
-
There exists compelling evidence that advance care planning (ACP) remains a key factor in the delivery of appropriate end of life care and facilitates the timely transition to palliative care for people with dementia.
-
Most of the 5.4 million people affected by Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia (AD) are noninstitutionalized, receiving care by unpaid family caregivers and medically managed by a primary care provider (PCP).
Why it matters
This review found that available smartphone apps for Alzheimer's disease caregivers have limited functions compared with caregivers' complex needs, and little has been done to extend them to Hispanic populations. It describes current technology and does not test whether these apps improve dementia outcomes.
-
There was a lack of definitive evidence of effectiveness for most psychosocial interventions.
-
Heart failure is the quintessential cardiovascular syndrome of aging that results from common cardiovascular conditions in older adults in conjunction with age-associated changes in cardiovascular structure and function.
