The carrying out of course assignments by medical students at the chair of social hygiene and public health administration is proposed for the wide application as a means of promoting the development of creative thinking in students. The course assignments fulfilled on the basis of data on regional peculiarities, characteristics of the population's health and health services while approximating students to the real practical activity promote the development of skills in the analysis, synthesis, generalization, concretization and other intellectual abilities absolutely indispensable for the future doctors.

Background: Adults with Down syndrome (DS) begin accumulating extracellular brain amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques in the decade or two preceding symptomatic Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study examined the time course of cognitive impairments cross-sectionally and across two time points (spaced 32 months) in relation to Aβ chronicity (i.e.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong.

Background: To investigate the effects of 40 Hz high-definition transcranial alternating current stimulation (HD-tACS) on subjective sleep quality and domain-specific cognitive functions in mild neurocognitive disorders due to Alzheimer's disease (NCD-AD).

Method: This study was a double blind, sham-controlled randomized clinical trial. Ninety-nine mild NCD-AD patients were randomly assigned to receive a 4-week course treatment of either 40 Hz HD-tACS, HD transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS), or sham transcranial current stimulation (HD-tCS).

Background: Non-pharmacological interventions that improve cognitive functioning in patients with Alzheimer's disease will play a crucial role in the coming years to support their independence in daily living. Here, we investigated the potential of a novel smartphone-assisted real-world wayfinding training, tailored for older adults, to improve their spatial memory as one of the first cognitive functions affected by the disease. Spatial memory performance was assessed using a VR-based navigation task and the Gardony map drawing analyzer.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by longitudinal changes of biomarker endophenotypes over the course of the disease prodrome, onset, and progression. The genetic pathways that influence these heterogenous changes in longitudinal endophenotype trajectories may provide insight into disease mechanisms and represent potential therapeutic targets.

Methods: Longitudinal endophenotypes from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) were selected: amyloid-β (Amyloid PET and CSF), total tau and phosphorylated tau (CSF), glucose metabolism (FDG PET), neurodegeneration (atrophy on MRI), and cognition (composite scores for memory and executive functioning).
