[DemStepCare: Risk-stratified support for primary care-based dementia care - evaluation from general practitioner's view].

Objective: The innovation fund project DemStepCare aimed to optimize multi-professional care through case management, risk stratification, and crisis outpatient clinic. Here, the evaluation results from the perspective of the general practitioners are presented.

Methods: A quantitative survey was carried out at three time points regarding acceptance, benefit assessment and sensitivity to dementia of the general practitioners.

Interhemispheric transfer time correlates with white matter integrity of the corpus callosum in healthy older adults.

The corpus callosum (CC) has been identified as an important structure in the context of cognitive aging (Fling et al., 2011). Interhemispheric transfer time (IHTT) is regularly used in order to estimate interhemispheric integration enabled by the CC (Marzi, 2010; Nowicka and Tacikowski, 2011).

Influence of loss- and restoration-oriented stressors on grief in times of COVID-19.

This study aimed to examine the influence of COVID-specific stressors on cross-sectional and longitudinal bereavement outcomes. According to the Dual Process Model of grief these stress-inducing factors can relate to the loss (loss-oriented stressors) or to manage everyday life (restoration-oriented stressors) and require coping in the grief process.

Public knowledge and attitudes about mental health in older age in Germany - Focus on dementia and late-life depression.

Older people with mental disorders represent a particularly vulnerable group in the health care system.

Therefore, in an anonymous online survey of 1,284 participants (71.

The relationship between interhemispheric transfer time and physical activity as well as cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy older adults.

The structural and functional degradation of the corpus callosum (CC) has been shown to play an important role in the context of cognitive aging (Reuter-Lorenz and Stanczak, 2000). This is also reflected by findings of elongated interhemispheric transfer time (IHTT) in older adults (Riedel et al., 2022).
