Ever since Kiloh (1961)[2] coined the term pseudo-dementia, it has been used a little loosely for describing the cognitive deficits in depression, especially, which is found in old age.
Why it matters
This review discusses the diagnostic confusion between dementia and pseudo-dementia, a condition describing cognitive deficits in depression in old age. It emphasizes that detailed knowledge of the cognitive deficits is important for administering appropriate therapy and avoiding unnecessary diagnostic assessments.
-
The number of older adults with cognitive impairment is increasing, and such adults often require a surrogate to make decisions about health care.
-
The journey for people with Alzheimer's disease or another dementia involves the need for increasing levels of support, with transitions across care settings.
-
Opinion statement Parkinson's disease (PD) has been increasingly recognized as having a multitude of nonmotor symptoms including psychosis, cognitive impairment and dementia, mood disturbances, fatigue, apathy, and sleep disorders.
-
We compared hippocampal volume measures obtained by manual tracing to automatic segmentation with FreeSurfer in 44 younger (20-30 years) and 47 older (60-70 years) adults, each measured with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) over three successive time points, separated by four months.

There was clear evidence of generalization especially in patients with milder semantic impairments.

Undernutrition is associated with cognitive decline.
-
Greater adherence to MedDiet and frequency of consumption of some foods were associated with better scores in several CF tests in elderly individuals with high risk of MS living in a rural community.
-
Responsibility for managing medications for older adults and/or people living with dementia in the community often falls to informal caregivers.
-
Cognitive decline in elderly people often derives from the interaction between aging-related changes and age-related diseases and covers a large spectrum of clinical manifestations, from intact cognition through mild cognitive impairment and dementia.

Diabetes in the elderly is a growing public health burden.
-
This study investigated the effects of a multicomponent exercise intervention on muscle strength, incidence of falls and functional outcomes in frail elderly patients with dementia after long-term physical restraint, followed by 24 weeks of training cessation.
-
The concepts of compassion, kindness and humanity in dementia care are discussed within the paper.
-
The mapping system appears useful from a nurse manager's standpoint for exploring the dementia care pathway.
-
Despite calls for improved access to palliative care for people with Parkinson's disease, services have been slow in developing.
-
Identifying feasible and effective interventions aimed at mitigating the effects of cognitive decline in older adults is currently a high priority for researchers, clinicians, and policy makers.
-
Supporting family caregivers of individuals with dementia throughout the disease trajectory requires consideration of caregivers : (1) physical, emotional, and psychological needs; (2) information and decisional support needs; and (3) instrumental support needs.
-
Recent data suggests that a history of childhood maltreatment is associated with reductions in hippocampal volume in healthy adults.
-
This article explores how married couples managed their finances and made financial decisions when one spouse had dementia, drawing comparisons with the approaches used prior to the illness.
-
Epidemiological work has, however, identified modifiable lifestyle factors, such as poor diet and physical and cognitive inactivity, that are associated with the risk of dementia.
-
Now, more than ever, the ability to acquire mathematical skills efficiently is critical for academic and professional success, yet little is known about the behavioral and neural mechanisms that drive some children to acquire these skills faster than others.

A lower level of nursing support managed to sustain and build on the initial outcomes.
