The aim of the study was to determine the serum levels of soluble adhesion molecules and hs-CRP in elderly diabetics with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) alone or with depressive symptoms. Methods. 219 diabetics elders were screened for psychiatric disorders and divided: group 1, MCI without depressive mood; group 2, MCI with depressive mood; group 3, controls. Data of biochemical parameters and biomarkers were collected. Results. In groups 1 and 2 levels of all biomarkers were significantly higher as compared to controls. The highest level of hs-CRP and sICAM-1 was detected in group 2. SVCAM-1 and sE-selectin levels were also the highest in group 2; however they did not significantly differ as compared to group 1. MoCA score was negatively correlated with all biomarkers in group 1. The logistic regression model showed that variables which increased the likelihood of having depressive syndrome in MCI patients were older age, stroke, neuropathy, increased number of comorbidities, and higher sICAM-1 level. Conclusions. We first demonstrated that elderly diabetic patients with MCI, particularly those with depressive mood have higher levels of soluble adhesion molecules and markers of low-grade systemic inflammation. Coexisting depressive syndrome in patients with MCI through common inflammatory pathways may result in augmentation of psychiatric disorders.

Sleep structure of short-term insomnia disorder with mild cognitive impairment in older adults and their correlation with cognitive function: a case-control study.
Front Aging Neurosci

Affiliated Mental Health Center & Hangzhou Seventh People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.
Objectives: This study seeks to delineate the sleep architecture characteristics in older adults with short-term insomnia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and to explore their association with cognitive performance.
Methods: Ninety elderly individuals with short-term insomnia were enrolled and stratified into two cohorts based on their Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores: the Short-Term Insomnia Group (STID) comprising 35 participants and the Short-Term Insomnia with Cognitive Impairment Group (STID-MCI) with 55 participants. Demographic data, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), MoCA, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD-17), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA), and polysomnography (PSG) parameters were compared between groups.
Effectiveness and utilization of a cognitive screening program for primary geriatric care.

Background: Effective detection of cognitive impairment in the primary care setting is limited by lack of time and specialized expertise to conduct detailed objective cognitive testing and few well-validated cognitive screening instruments that can be administered and evaluated quickly without expert supervision. We therefore developed a model cognitive screening program to provide relatively brief, objective assessment of a geriatric patient's memory and other cognitive abilities in cases where the primary care physician suspects but is unsure of the presence of a deficit.
Methods: Referred patients were tested during a 40-min session by a psychometrist or trained nurse in the clinic on a brief battery of neuropsychological tests that assessed multiple cognitive domains.
Clinical Diagnoses and Characterization of Patients With Amyloid-Negative Amyloid-Beta, p-Tau, and Neurofilament Light Chain (ATN) Profiles.

Geriatric and Memory Center, Broadlawns Medical Center, Des Moines, USA.
The novel amyloid-beta, p-Tau, and neurofilament light chain (ATN) classification scheme has become a promising system for clinically detecting and diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD). In addition to its utility in Alzheimer's diagnosis and treatment, the ATN framework may also have clinical relevance in identifying non-Alzheimer's pathologies. In this study conducted at Broadlawns Geriatric and Memory Center, 92 amyloid-negative profiles out of 182 patients with an ATN framework were categorized into subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment (non-amnestic MCI), amnestic MCI, Alzheimer's dementia, vascular dementia, mixed dementia, unspecified dementia, or other memory changes based on diagnoses written in the chart.

Aim: Despite the clinical importance and significant social burden of neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in dementia, the underlying neurobiological mechanism remains poorly understood. Recently, neuroimaging-derived brain-age estimation by machine-learning analysis has shown promise as an individual-level biomarker. We investigated the relationship between NPS and brain-age in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early dementia.

Unlabelled: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) such as depression, anxiety, and apathy are present in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and are risk factors for cognitive decline. However, the relationship between NPS and specific cognitive domains is less clear.
Objective: This study aimed to assess whether there is a correlation between NPS and specific cognitive domains.
