Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) are a group of rare inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system that can manifest as subacute cognitive impairment. Despite the presence of diagnostic criteria, it can be challenging to identify this disease in certain age groups. In this article, we present the two main clinical phenotypes of AE associated with cognitive impairment, the factors contributing to the long-term cognitive outcome and its management after the acute phase.

Trends in Medicare Coverage of Overactive Bladder Medications in the United States.
Urogynecology (Phila)
December 2024
From the Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery, MedStar Washington Hospital Center/Georgetown University, Washington, DC.
Importance: Strong evidence demonstrates long-term cognitive decline associated with anticholinergics. While prevalent among older populations, medical management of overactive bladder (OAB) is dictated by insurance coverage rather than medical provider and patient preferences.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess Medicare insurance plan coverage for select OAB medications and evaluate coverage of preferred medications to medications with a greater risk of cognitive dysfunction.
Covert Vascular Brain Injury and Cognitive Dysfunction Among Chinese Adults Living in Canada and China: The CAHHM and PURE-MIND Studies.
Neurology
February 2025
Department of Medicine, University of Toronto, Canada.
Background And Objective: It is unclear whether variation in covert cerebrovascular disease prevalence is attributable to ethnic differences or to other factors. We aimed to examine the associations of country of residence with covert vascular brain injury (VBI) and cognitive dysfunction among Chinese adults residing in Canada and China.
Methods: This was a multisite cross-sectional study of Chinese adults aged 40-80 years in the Canadian Alliance for Healthy Hearts and Healthy Minds (CAHHM; January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018) and Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiological-Mind (PURE-MIND; November 1, 2010, to July 31, 2015) cohorts living in Canada and China.
High Prevalence of Malnutrition in Geriatric Patients With Solid Organ Cancer-An Institutional Study.
JCO Glob Oncol
January 2025
Department of Geriatric Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh, India.
Purpose: The demographic transition toward aging heralds an increase in the number of geriatric patients with cancer in India. Comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) is a sine qua non for treatment planning and shared decision making in these patients. We aimed to study the prevalence of malnutrition and the associated risk factors in geriatric patients with solid organ cancer.

Background And Objectives: Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) represents the ability of cerebral blood vessels to regulate blood flow in response to vasoactive stimuli and is related to cognition in cerebrovascular and neurodegenerative conditions. However, few studies have examined CVR in the medial temporal lobe, known to be affected early in Alzheimer disease and to influence memory function. We aimed to examine whether medial temporal CVR is associated with memory function in older adults with and without mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
