Background: Alzheimer's and related disorders (ADRD) represent a range of neurodegenerative conditions characterized by abnormal protein deposits in the brain. Despite advances, there is a need for enhanced diagnostic and treatment approaches that acknowledge the diversity of ADRD. This project introduces the Alzheimer's and Related Disorders Multicenter Archive (ARMA), a collaborative platform with an advanced Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system linked to Electronic Medical Records (EMR) designed to refine ADRD diagnosis and natural history understanding, thus informing precision medicine.

Background: Mobile health applications have the potential to enhance dementia care and promote well-being among older adults living independently. This systematic review aims to synthesise and evaluate the existing evidence on the effectiveness of mobile applications developed to improve or maintain cognitive function among older adults diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.
Method: A systematic search was conducted across major electronic databases, including PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, and PsycInfo, to identify relevant studies published from 2012 to 2023.

Ultrathin indium oxide films show great potential as channel materials of complementary metal oxide semiconductor back-end-of-line transistors due to their high carrier mobility, smooth surface, and low leakage current. However, it has severe thermal stability problems (unstable and negative threshold voltage shifts at high temperatures). In this paper, we clarified how the improved crystallinity of indium oxide by using ultrahigh-temperature rapid thermal O annealing could reduce donor-like defects and suppress thermal-induced defects, drastically enhancing thermal stability.

Background: Marital status and living status are components of social isolation (SI), a modifiable factor thought to impact cognitive resilience, which has the potential to impact cognition throughout the course of Alzheimer's and related dementia (ADRD) diagnosis. Electronic health records (EHRs) offer access to large scale clinical data, capable of longitudinal analyses.
Method: Cognitive function measurement - Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) - data, demographic (including marital and living status as SI proxies) data and ADRD diagnosis data from patients aged 50+ years from Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust (UK) were extracted using natural language processing algorithms from EHRs dated 1995 to 2022.

Background: Multidomain lifestyle interventions for dementia risk reduction have been developed and trialled because reversible lifestyle factors have been shown to contribute to the onset and progression of dementia. A recent review and meta-analysis confirmed small beneficial effects of such interventions on cognitive performance. To enhance the effectiveness of these interventions, we have developed and incorporated personalisation approaches.
