Background: Increasing calls for diversity in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDesearch have fueled significant investments in recruitment personnel and activities. However, the essential work of identifying and authentically engaging communities of color in relationship-building begins well before, and continues long after, study recruitment activities take place. The purpose of this presentation is twofold: 1) to differentiate the work of trust-building and relationship cultivation from that of research study recruitment, and 2) to describe the necessary steps to ensure that relationship cultivation is ongoing and supported beyond the timeline of a singular research study.

Background: Regulated breathing is increasingly recognized as a vital component in enhancing cognition. Scientific studies suggest that intentional and controlled breathing techniques, such as deep and rhythmic breathing, can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve oxygen flow to the brain [1, 2]. Consequently, this may contribute to heightened cognitive function, better concentration, and increased mental clarity, accentuating the importance of incorporating mindful breathing practices as a potential avenue for cognitive improvement [3].

Background: Mixed dementia type - Alzheimer's Disease (AD), cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and vascular - is vastly recognized as a cause of dementia in older adults. Whereas CAA, primarily leptomeningeal, is a frequent complication in hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (TTRCA), it is unusually reported in association with wild-type TTR, with or without polyneuropathy. The knowledge of mixed dementia and wild-type TTR association is even scarcer.
