Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), Bonn, Germany.
Numerous drugs (including disease-modifying therapies, cognitive enhancers and neuropsychiatric treatments) are being developed for Alzheimer's and related dementias (ADRD). Emerging neuroimaging modalities, and genetic and other biomarkers potentially enhance diagnostic and prognostic accuracy. These advances need to be assessed in real-world studies (RWS).

This can be achieved through patient registries. A major challenge is how to embed registry data capture into routine clinical practice.

Background: To bolster clinical trial infrastructure, there is a need to develop novel, valid, and reliable patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures capable of tracking clinically-relevant changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD), Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia over time. This research describes the development and validation of the Alzheimer's Disease-Health Index (AD-HI) as a tool to measure how patients feel and function in response to therapeutic intervention.
Method: We previously conducted semi-structured qualitative interviews and a national cross-sectional study with individuals with AD, MCI and dementia to ascertain the most prevalent and impactful symptoms identified by the participants.

Background: In Uganda, caregivers of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) face complex challenges, often lacking specialized skills for effective caregiving. Despite the growing prevalence of ADRD in the country, there's a significant literature gap on caregiver selection and obstacles faced in urban and rural areas. This study aims to provide insights into the experiences of Ugandan caregivers, enhancing understanding of ADRD caregiving.

Background: Sinonasal mucosal melanoma has poor survival despite multimodality treatment. While the impact of immunotherapy (IT) on metastatic cutaneous melanoma is well-defined, there are relatively little data on sinonasal mucosal melanoma.
Objective: We sought to define immunotherapy outcomes in patients with sinonasal mucosal melanoma.
