Open Educational Resources (OER) are an integral part of the debate about the digitization of education. This article reviews the state of international empirical research on OER to identify possible desiderata for a future research agenda. A systematic mapping approach is used to map the empirical English-speaking research landscape. The results reveal that research concentrates on the higher education sector while only a few studies are available for the school sector. In terms of research methodology, quantitative studies are prevalent, mostly using surveys. The research interest of the studies lies in the perception of OER and their adoption and usage in educational practices. Open Textbooks and their comparative cost advantages or qualitative comparability with traditional educational material is a newly emerging field. Research gaps exist regarding usability and user-friendliness of OER repositories. Addressing these gaps could support the numerous initiatives of the German federal states to establish OER portals. Further research gaps were identified regarding the effects of the use of OER on pedagogical approaches and established educational practices.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Södermanland and Uppland, Sweden.
Background: Novel anti-amyloid therapies (AAT) for Alzheimer's Disease (AD) have recently been approved in the United States, Japan and China, and are under regulatory review in Europe. Questions remain regarding the long-term effectiveness and value of these drugs when used in routine clinical practice. Data from follow-up studies will be important to inform their optimal use, including criteria for treatment initiation, monitoring strategies, stopping rules, pricing and reimbursement considerations.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
Background: Behaviour support plans (BSPs) for people in residential aged care (RAC) were mandated nationally in 2019 for those who require, or may require, restrictive practices as part of their care. The legislation aims to reduce and potentially eliminate restrictive practices: long-standing problems of their inappropriate use were highlighted by the Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety (2018). Many people living with dementia will be impacted: up to 90% experience changed behaviours; 54% of people in RACs have dementia; and approximately 20% experience cognitive decline without a diagnosis.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders, University of California, Irvine, Irvine, CA, USA.
Background: Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) populations are underrepresented in Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) research, despite being the fastest growing racial group in the United States. The Collaborative Approach for AANHPI Research and Education (CARE) registry aims to create a sustainable research recruitment source to address this need.
Method: Participants can enroll online, by phone, or in-person by completing an enrollment survey in English, Chinese (Simplified/Traditional), Hindi, Korean, Samoan, or Vietnamese.

Fleni, Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Background: LatAm-FINGERS is a non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial aimed at preventing cognitive impairment. The intervention advocates for a lifestyle change based on diet, exercise, risk factor control, cognitive training, and socialization. However, the baseline assessment lacks a evaluation of the participants sociability before the intervention.

Geriatric Research Education & Clinical Center, VA Bedford Healthcare System, Bedford, MA, USA.
Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a significant contributor to hemorrhagic stroke, notably lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). This study describes the natural occurrence of ICH and SAH events among veterans, including those with AD, within the United States Veterans Affairs Healthcare System (VAHS).
Method: The VAHS database was evaluated to identify ICD-10 codes for ICH (I61.
