Article Synopsis
- * A 63-year-old former boxer showed memory impairment and was diagnosed with probable CTE, along with signs of Alzheimer's disease after various tests, including MRI and neuropsychological evaluations.
- * Diagnosing CTE is complex and requires thorough history taking and multiple diagnostic methods to accurately identify the condition and any other associated diseases like Alzheimer's.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared EEG findings in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) versus dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD) to identify differences in brain activity patterns.
- Visual analysis showed that patients with DLB/PDD had a lower posterior dominant rhythm (PDR) frequency and certain EEG patterns strongly indicated DLB/PDD while ruling out AD.
- Both visual and automated EEG analyses yielded similar results regarding PDR, demonstrating that visual assessment effectively distinguishes between AD and DLB/PDD, with automated analysis acting as a supportive tool, particularly for Parkinson's-related dementia.
Aim: In Japan, an additional system for patients with suspected or diagnosed dementia during hospitalization for physical illness began in 2016. We examined the clinical characteristics of older patients with suspected or diagnosed dementia during hospitalization.
Methods: The study participants consisted of 569 patients.
Introduction: We examined the efficacy of a multidomain intervention in preventing cognitive decline among Japanese older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Methods: Participants aged 65-85 years with MCI were randomized into intervention (management of vascular risk factors, exercise, nutritional counseling, and cognitive training) and control groups. The primary outcome was changes in the cognitive composite score over a period of 18 months.
