Background: The LatAm-FINGERS trial marks a pioneering initiative as the first non-pharmacological clinical trial encompassing participants from 12 Latin American countries, including Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, and Uruguay. This initiative represents a significant advancement in promoting inclusivity and diversity in clinical trial recruitment, particularly in underserved populations.

Method: The LatAm-FINGERS trial is a multicenter randomized clinical trial evaluating a lifestyle intervention tailored for the Latin American population.

Background: Data from high-income countries (HICs) suggest a decline in age-specific incidence rates of dementia. However, this has happened primarily in HICs, with low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) facing two main challenges: a higher burden of risk factors and, in general, a faster ageing population. Most people with dementia live in LMICs, and this is set to increase, thus requiring urgent and robust action to prevent, treat and support people with dementia and their families.

Alzheimers Dement

December 2024

Augusta University, Augusta, GA, USA.

Background: There are no evidence-based exercise guidelines to reduce falls in people living with dementia (PWD). The purpose of this pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was to determine the 1) feasibility and acceptability, and 2) effect of exercise on cognition and falls (exploratory) relative to usual care alone among PWD.

Methods: We randomized PWD to the exercise (n = 21) or usual care group (n = 21) at two residential care facilities in our pilot parallel, assessor-blinded RCT (1:1) [NCT05488951].

The prevalence of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) is rising, and primary care providers (PCPs) will increasingly play a role in its detection. We developed an evidence-based intervention to facilitate cognitive evaluation in primary care. We then implemented it as a set of web-based trainings which were combined with specific tools embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) for PCPs to use in their practices.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recent advancements highlight the role of finerenone, a non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (nsMRA), in DKD management. Studies like FIDELIO-DKD, FIGARO-DKD, and FIDELITY have demonstrated finerenone's efficacy in reducing CKD progression and cardiovascular risks in DKD patients.
