Public Health.

Background: The number people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias is expected to triple by 2050, contributing to decreased quality of life, increased medical care utilization, and additional burden on an already stressed primary care system. Many clinicians lack confidence to assess, diagnose and manage cognitive impairment (CI), and more than 50% of patients with CI are undiagnosed. A tool to better identify patients at risk of CI could lead to earlier detection and diagnosis in primary care.

Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.

Background: Cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are cornerstones in the symptomatic treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and are also prescribed for vascular dementia (VD). Despite their widespread use, patterns of prescribing ChEIs are not fully understood.

Objective: Examine the prevalence, timing, and types of ChEI prescriptions before and after dementia diagnosis including prescribing patterns by patient sex and race.

Innate lymphoid cells in HIV pathogenesis and in the human female genital tract.

Purpose Of Review: Women are underrepresented in HIV infection and prevention research despite making up half of people living with HIV. The female genital tract (FGT) serves as a primary site of HIV acquisition, but gaps in knowledge remain regarding protective innate immune mechanisms. Innate lymphoid cells are tissue-resident cells involved in mucosal barrier maintenance and protection, and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are altered during chronic HIV infection.
