Purpose: This purpose of this prologue is to introduce readers to the Forum: Minding the Gap: Using Implementation Science to Improve Clinical Practice in Schools. Ten articles comprise this forum presenting a variety of topics, such as the use of implementation science frameworks and methods, program adaptation, de-implementation, and interprofessional collaboration.
Conclusion: As showcased in this forum, implementation science offers many ways to bridge the gap between research and practice and improve school-based services for children with communication disorders.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Relecura, Bangalore, karnataka, India.
Background: Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and its evaluation have been important nowadays as its prevalence in older ages after 60 years. Early identification of dementia can help the world to take preventive measures as most of them are treatable. The cellular Automata (CA) framework is a powerful tool in analyzing brain dynamics and modeling the prognosis of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: There is a need to understand the benefits and limitations of innovative models of dementia care to ensure models meet the needs of people living with dementia, their families and staff. The aim of this scoping review was to explore and synthesise the barriers and facilitators to the widespread implementation of small-scale residential dementia care.
Method: A scoping review was conducted in 2023 in MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus, Web of Science, and CENTRAL to identify empirical, peer-reviewed studies, published in English from database inception to October 2023.

National Ageing Research Institute, Melbourne, VIC, Australia.
Background: The Promoting Independence Through quality Care at Home (PITCH) project aimed to improve outcomes for people with dementia and their carers via a co-designed training intervention for home care workers (HCWs). The results of the primary efficacy analysis of the successful stepped-wedge cluster RCT (n = 172 HCWs in 18 clusters in 7 Australian service providers) were presented at AAIC 2023.
Method: This presentation goes beyond efficacy and discusses the implementation science (process evaluation and behavioural change) and health economic analysis of the intervention.

Background: In recent years, brain banks have become a valuable resource for examining the molecular underpinnings of various neurological and psychological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease; however, the availability of brain tissue has significantly declined. Proper collection, preparation, and preservation of post-mortem autopsy tissue are essential for optimal downstream brain tissue distribution and experimentation. Collaborations between brain banks through larger networks such as NeuroBioBank with centralized sample request mechanisms promote tissue distribution where brain donations are disproportionately lower.

Background: Writing is a cortical function studied by the human science of Graphology, which allows the personal knowledge of the subject, and psychophysical conditions, both in healthy older people and in those affected by dementia. Graphologists and geriatricians can successfully cooperate with this.
Method: Five volunteers aged between 60 and 80 years old (3 women and 2 men) were enrolled after signing an informed consent.
