Aim: To describe the use of psycho-stimulants in the Netherlands between 1996 and 2006 in children and adolescents, and in relation to age and sex.
Methods: With the pharmacy prescription database the IADB.nl, yearly prevalences of psycho-stimulants per 1000 children were calculated, as was the length of psycho-stimulant use with Kaplan-Meier method in SPSS 12.0.
Results: Psycho-stimulant use increased in boys (0-19) from 4.5 per thousand in 1996 to 31.1 per thousand in 2006 and for girls from 0.7 to 8.1 per thousand, respectively. The largest increase was among boys aged 10-19 years. There is a trend towards prescribing the sustained release preparation of methylphenidate (Concerta).
Conclusions: In the Netherlands a large increase in psycho-stimulants use is observed. However, in the Netherlands the prevalence ratio male/female declined from 6.4 in 1996 to 3.8 in 2006.

Episodic memory (EM) alterations are a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD). We assessed EM longitudinally in cognitively normal elders at-risk for AD (with subjective memory complaints), as a function of amyloid-β (Aβ) burden, neurodegeneration (N), and progression to prodromal AD. We stratified 264 INSIGHT-preAD study subjects in controls (Aβ-/N-), stable/N- or N + (Aβ +), and progressors/N- or N + (Aβ +) groups (progressors were included only until AD-diagnosis).
