In this article, we summarise the findings of the situational analysis of dementia care generated as part of the project, including a desk review, a SWOT analysis and views from relevant stakeholders. In addition, the article incorporates the experience of 4 years of work within the STRiDE project of FEDMA, Mexico's Federation of Alzheimer's and other dementias and its allied Associations in presenting specific recommendations to optimise dementia care in the country. All the information gathered brings together a detailed understanding of the current dementia care systems of diagnosis, treatment, and support in general and what is lacking, allowing for the generation of general recommendations to enhance the isolated efforts currently available and amplify their impact, as well as strategies to generate new services currently unavailable, but urgently needed.

Methods: A two-stage sampling method was used to conduct a multicenter cross-sectional survey.
Plasma phosphorylated tau and neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia with Lewy bodies.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Centre for Healthy Brain Ageing, Department of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience, King's College London, London, UK.
Introduction: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) are common in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) but their neurobiological mechanisms are poorly understood.
Methods: NPSs and cognition were assessed annually in participants (DLB n = 222; Alzheimer's disease [AD] n = 125) from the European DLB (E-DLB) Consortium, and plasma phosphorylated tau-181 (p-tau181) and p-tau231 concentrations were measured at baseline.
Results: Hallucinations, delusions, and depression were more common in DLB than in AD and, in a subgroup with longitudinal follow-up, persistent hallucinations and NPSs were associated with lower p-tau181 and p-tau231 in DLB.
The role of neuropsychological assessment in the evaluation of patients with cognitive-behavioral change due to suspected Alzheimer's disease and other causes of cognitive impairment and dementia.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Northwestern Mesulam Center for Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The Alzheimer's Association convened a Diagnostic Evaluation, Testing, Counseling and Disclosure Clinical Practice Guideline workgroup to help combat the major global health challenges surrounding the timely detection, accurate diagnosis, and appropriate disclosure of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other diseases that cause these types of cognitive-behavioral disorders. The newly published clinical practice guidelines are proposed as a structured approach to evaluation. The purpose of the present article is to provide a clinical perspective on the use of neuropsychology within the new framework and practice guidelines outlined under the Diagnostic Evaluation, Testing, Counseling and Disclosure of Suspected Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (DETeCD-ADRD) recommendations for primary care and specialty care.

Aim: To translate the 9-item Confidence in Dementia (CODE) scale into Chinese (Confidence in Dementia-Chinese, CODE-C) and evaluate its psychometric properties among clinical nurses.
Background: With the rapidly ageing population, an increasing number of patients with dementia will be cared for in hospitals. Clinical nurses' confidence in dementia care is crucial to provide quality care.
