-
Cognitive deficits and hippocampal atrophy, features that are shared with aging and dementia, have been described in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

It may be that risk and protective factors vary with age, however, in the absence of prophylactic treatment it seems likely that the maintenance of a healthy lifestyle may represent the best option with regard to the prevention of dementia.
-
Patients with dementia develop dysphagia some time during the clinical course of their disease.

Most surrogates reported that patients had previously completed an advance directive (59%), discussed preferences for EOL care (56%), or done both (38%).

The purpose of this article is to critically review and synthesize the literature on the effects of nonpharmacological cognitive training on dementia symptoms in early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia.
-
Prototypes for two devices (armband and electronic notepad) were developed.
-
Magnetic resonance tractography based on diffusion-tensor imaging was first introduced to the medical imaging community a decade ago.
-
Although not significant, results as to the effectiveness of such an intervention to improve family satisfaction with end-of-life care are encouraging.
-
We noted no differences between decedents with and without dementia in terms of pain, psychosocial status, family involvement, advance care planning, most life-prolonging interventions, and hospice use.
-
In contrast to many years of important research and clinical attention to the pathological effects of alcohol (ethanol) abuse, the past several decades have seen the publication of a number of peer-reviewed studies indicating the beneficial effects of light-moderate, nonbinge consumption of varied alcoholic beverages, as well as experimental demonstrations that moderate alcohol exposure can initiate typically cytoprotective mechanisms.
-
Children with prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) show deficits in verbal learning and spatial memory, as well as abnormal hippocampal development.
-
The single most common cause of death occurring within the nursing home was Alzheimer's, with most dying appropriately on hospice care.

Since hippocampal volume has been found to be an early biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, there is large interest in automated methods to accurately, robustly, and reproducibly extract the hippocampus from MRI data.
-
Numerous reports have linked extremity muscle strength with mortality but the mechanism underlying this association is not known.
-
Medical conditions overall, do impact the fitness to drive of older drivers; however, the crash risk tends to be only slightly to moderately increased.
-
For advance directives to better reflect a person's wishes, discussions with individuals and families about advance directives should include a range of care issues in the settings of terminal illness, persistent vegetative state or end-stage illness.
