Effects of Route Complexity and Lighting on Route Following in Alzheimer's Disease and Posterior Cortical Atrophy.

Objective: Visual processing deficits arising in dementia are associated with particular functional disability. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the built environment on mobility and navigation in people with dementia-related visual loss.

Methods: Participants with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA; "visual-variant Alzheimer's"; n = 11), typical Alzheimer's disease (tAD; N = 10), and controls (n = 13) repeatedly walked down routes within a simplified real-world setting.

Real-world evaluation of physiotherapist-led exercise prehabilitation and rehabilitation during autologous stem cell transplantation in myeloma: a single-centre experience.

Background: There is emerging evidence for the role of exercise in optimising function, quality of life (QoL) and reducing hospital length-of-stay if commenced prior to undergoing autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). A local pilot study of a prehabilitation and rehabilitation intervention during ASCT for myeloma patients indicated promising results and was adapted to translate into local clinical care. The aim of this report is to describe an overview of a newly implemented physiotherapist-led exercise prehabilitation and rehabilitation service delivered as part of the myeloma ASCT pathway, and present real-world findings related to changes in function and QoL.

Characteristics and outcomes in patients with lenalidomide-refractory multiple myeloma treated with 1-3 prior lines of therapy: Analysis of individual patient-level data from daratumumab clinical trials.

Background: The introduction of proteasome inhibitors (PIs) and lenalidomide as treatment for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MM) has led to an increased population of lenalidomide-refractory patients. Limited data are available characterizing current treatments and outcomes in this difficult-to-treat population.

Methods: Individual patient-level data were analyzed from the treatment arms of multiple daratumumab studies, including APOLLO, CASTOR, CANDOR, EQUULEUS, ALCYONE, MAIA, GRIFFIN, POLLUX, and CASSIOPEIA.
