The brain dysfunction associated with certain medical and neurological conditions can produce essentially any psychiatric symptom. This means there is always a chance that presentations thought to be 'psychiatric' are actually explained by unidentified medical pathology. This paper aims to outline an approach to minimise these missed diagnoses.

Background: Mivelsiran (ALN-APP) is an investigational, intrathecally administered RNA interference therapeutic designed to lower levels of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide, a key driver of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) pathogenesis, by reducing upstream production of amyloid precursor protein (APP). We report additional safety, pharmacodynamic, and biomarker data from the double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose part of the ongoing mivelsiran Phase 1 study (NCT05231785).
Method: Patients with early-onset AD (symptom onset <65 years of age, Clinical Dementia Rating global score 0.

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).

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: The progressive nature of dementia and the complex needs means that people living with dementia require tailored approaches to address their changing care needs over time. These include physical multimorbidity, psychological, behavioural, and cognitive symptoms and possible risks arising from these and helping family caregivers. However, provision of these interventions is highly variable between and within countries, partly due to uncertainty about their efficacy and scarce resources.

Background: Given that the majority of people with dementia live in their homes in the community and are primarily cared for by informal caregivers, there is a growing interest in developing interventions suitable for this setting. Further, it is important to establish how music selections can differentially affect PwD. In this pilot trial, we thus compare two caregiver-delivered music listening MBIs with care-as-usual.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Medical Faculty, University of Cologne, Cologne, Germany.
Background: Due to further development of diagnostic methods of early-stage diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and new disease-modifying treatment options that require early diagnosis, a new focus on predictive and preventive medicine arises. With progress in AD dementia risk estimation, guidelines for counseling, considering individual aspects of those affected, are becoming more important. As part of the trinational project PreTAD (The Predictive Turn in Alzheimer's Disease: Ethical, Clinical, Linguistic and Legal Aspects) anticipated effects of AD dementia risk estimation for first-degree relatives of people with AD dementia are evaluated.
