Background: Agitation associated with dementia due to Alzheimer's disease encompasses a wide range of behaviors, including excessive motor activity, verbal aggression, and physical aggression. In a survey of unpaid caregivers living with an individual with Alzheimer's disease, the "most bothersome" agitation behaviors (which may influence the decision to transfer the patient to long-term care) were: cursing or verbal aggression, spitting, repetitive sentences or questions, hitting, constant unwarranted requests for attention or help, trying to get to a different place, inappropriate dress or disrobing, pacing/aimless wandering, grabbing onto people, and throwing things. This post hoc analysis aimed to determine the efficacy of brexpiprazole on agitation in patients frequently exhibiting these bothersome behaviors.

Background: Previous studies suggest that it may be inappropriate to determine treatment strategies solely based on the degree of stenosis for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS). In order to better risk stratify patients with ICAS, we developed a novel non-invasive fractional flow (FF) calculation technique based on intracranial angiography (Angio-FF) to assess the hemodynamics for patients with ICAS. This study aims to investigate the difference in FF between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with ICAS and its potential optimal threshold.

Context: In European and Anglo-Saxon countries, life-sustaining treatment (LST) limitation decisions precede more than 80% of ICU deaths. However, there is now increasing evidence of disagreement and conflict between clinical teams and family members over LST limitation decisions. In some cases, these conflicts are brought to the courts.
