The direct current (dc) and differential pulse (dp) polarographic reduction of fleroxacin was done in a wide pH range from 2.48 to 13.00. The appropriate buffer choice was made for its dp polarographic determination in a range from 1.845 to 16.926 microg /ml, at pH 8.50. The adsorptive properties of fleroxacin were investigated in order to achieve an increase in sensitivity and a possibility of fleroxacin determination by applying the adsorptive stripping voltammetric method. The adsorptive processes at the hanging mercury drop electrode were investigated in Britton-Robinson and borate buffers. Adsorptive preconcentration followed by differential-pulse cathodic stripping showed one wave at approximately - 1.1 V being the most sensitive for analytical determination of fleroxacin. Two linear ranges were obtained, the first one from 18.465 to 258.51 ng/ml, and the second one from 3.693 to 18.465 ng/ml.

An overview is given of surrogate marker evaluation, starting from the original definition of Prentice and his criteria, the estimation framework of Freedman, the meta-analytic framework, and the evaluation of surrogate endpoints from a causal inference point of view. Attention will be given, in particular, to evaluating tau-PET as a reasonably likely surrogate in Alzheimer's Disease. A meta-analytic surrogate marker evaluation approach will be followed, for a continuous surrogate and a continuous true endpoint.

Background: Prior research shows that caregiving for people living with dementia (PLWD) varies with cultural, institutional, and social structural context, but less is known about the role of context in dementias of different etiologies. We compared experiences of caregiving in frontal-temporal dementia (FTD) versus non-FTD dementias using community-based comparative ethnography. We expected to find differences in caring for people living with FTD (PLWFTD) versus people living with other dementias (PLWOD).

Background: Over 15 million informal caregivers provide assistance to persons living with dementia. Despite increasing emergency department (ED) use within the population, little is known regarding the support required of older adults seeking acute care with varying degrees of cognitive impairment. Our objectives were to quantify the daily care hours that informal caregivers provide to older ED patients with diagnosed dementia, undiagnosed cognitive impairment, and intact cognition.

Background: Medical records present a rich potential source of information on the lived experiences of people with dementia. These records are extensive and the work of extracting relevant data is labor-intensive. We sought to determine whether we could use natural language processing (NLP) approaches to sift through medical records to prioritize an enriched subset of notes illuminating the lived experiences of people with dementia.
