Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Amsterdam Neuroscience, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam UMC, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Background: The first disease-modifying treatments (DMTs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) have been approved in the USA, marking profound changes in AD-diagnosis and treatment. This will bring new challenges in terms of clinician-patient communication. We aimed to collect the perspectives of memory clinic professionals regarding the most important topics to address and what (tools) would support professionals and their patients and care partners to engage in a meaningful conversation on whether (or not) to initiate treatment.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: Currently, there is no national consensus on how to identify individuals with probable dementia in community-based settings. With the rapid increase of aging populations-particularly ethnic minorities-there is an urgent need to create a process to effectively identify individuals with probable dementia to adequately plan for dementia care. The aim of this study was to evaluate a dementia screening approach applied to a recent immigrant community, Korean Americans.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases, University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX, USA.
Background: In recent years, brain banks have become a valuable resource for examining the molecular underpinnings of various neurological and psychological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease; however, the availability of brain tissue has significantly declined. Proper collection, preparation, and preservation of post-mortem autopsy tissue are essential for optimal downstream brain tissue distribution and experimentation. Collaborations between brain banks through larger networks such as NeuroBioBank with centralized sample request mechanisms promote tissue distribution where brain donations are disproportionately lower.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Department of Frailty - Center for Cognitive Disorders and Dementia, Catanzaro Lido, ASP Catanzaro, Catanzaro, Italy.
Background: Writing is a cortical function studied by the human science of Graphology, which allows the personal knowledge of the subject, and psychophysical conditions, both in healthy older people and in those affected by dementia. Graphologists and geriatricians can successfully cooperate with this.
Method: Five volunteers aged between 60 and 80 years old (3 women and 2 men) were enrolled after signing an informed consent.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, Baltimore, MD, USA.
Background: Community engagement is a key strategy to promoting health equity. While community advisory boards (CABs) are used as a popular tool for community engagement, the process of forming CABs and maintaining them is mostly missing in the literature. The purpose of this study is to showcase a set of processes our collaborative team went through to form and implement a CAB in the context of dementia literacy and linkage to dementia care research.
