Résumé La prise en charge des symptômes psycho-comportementaux liés à la démence (SPCD) est complexe et peut nécessiter un recours à un Service d'accueil et d'urgences (SAU). Cette étude a pour objectif principal d'évaluer, au niveau national, les pratiques des médecins urgentistes dans la prise en charge des SPCD, leurs connaissances et leurs compétences dans ce domaine. Cette étude observationnelle et quantitative a été réalisée entre mars 2021 et juillet 2021, au moyen d'un questionnaire en ligne auprès de l'ensemble des médecins travaillant dans un SAU en France.

Brain Volume Predicts Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms in Alzheimer's Disease.

Background: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are frequent and troublesome for patients and caregivers. Considering possible preventive approaches, a better understanding of underlying neural correlates of BPSD is crucial.

Objective: The aim is to assess whether brain regional volume predicts behavioral changes in mild AD.

Risk factors of caregiver burden among patients with Alzheimer's disease or related disorders: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Caregivers play a major role in the care of patients with dementia and are themselves at higher risk of disease.

Objectives: We investigate which factors are associated with caregivers burden of outpatients visiting a memory clinic and how functional autonomy and behavioral and psychological symptoms can influence caregiver burden.

Methods: The study population was chosen from outpatients with progressive cognitive complaint.

Personality, Alzheimer's disease and behavioural and cognitive symptoms of dementia: the PACO prospective cohort study protocol.

Background: Alzheimer's disease is characterised by a loss of cognitive function and behavioural problems as set out in the term "Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia". These behavioural symptoms have heavy consequences for the patients and their families. A greater understanding of behavioural symptoms risk factors would allow better detection of those patients, a better understanding of crisis situations and better management of these patients.
