Numerous drugs (including disease-modifying therapies, cognitive enhancers and neuropsychiatric treatments) are being developed for Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD). Emerging neuroimaging modalities, and genetic and other biomarkers potentially enhance diagnostic and prognostic accuracy. These advances need to be assessed in real-world studies (RWS).

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).

Median mandibular cyst is defined as an odontogenic cyst in a rare midline location. In spite of this definition, there have been two reports of a peculiar lesion, so-called "ciliated" median mandibular cyst associated with vital teeth, the origin of which cannot be explained in terms of odontogenic epithelium multipotentiality. We describe a thorough profile of an additional example.

Background: The increasing population of older adults and growing number of disease-modifying therapies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) highlight the need for timely differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders despite high referral volumes. This study aimed to develop and pilot a brief neuropsychological battery to evaluate cognitive functioning in adults with suspected AD and improve service delivery by reducing the time between referral and diagnosis.

Methods: Patients were referred to the "early AD pathway" by their neurologist or geriatrician after an initial evaluation in an outpatient multidisciplinary dementia clinic.

Impact of Heart Transplant Allocation Changes on Waitlist Mortality and Clinical Practice in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Congenital Heart Disease and Cardiomyopathy.

Circulation

January 2025

Division of Cardiology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Department of Pediatrics (L.W., M.J.O., H.A., J.E., K.Y.L., C.W.-W., J.R., J.B.E.), University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

Background: The United Network of Organ Sharing made changes to the priority for allocation of hearts for transplantation (HT) in 2016 for pediatric patients and 2018 for adult patients. Although recent work has evaluated the impact of the revised allocation systems on mechanical circulatory support practices and waitlist outcomes, there are limited data that focus more specifically on the impact of the allocation changes on patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) or cardiomyopathy and how these relationships might differ in pediatric and adult patients.

Methods: The United Network of Organ Sharing database was queried for pediatric (<18 years of age) and adult (18-50 years of age) patients with a CHD or cardiomyopathy diagnosis listed for HT.
