Alzheimers Dement

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.

Background: Gamma desynchronization is an early pathophysiological event in Alzheimer's disease with a disturbance in oscillation in the gamma frequency range 30-80 Hz. This disruption was found to be directly related to the disease progression and severity. Thus, the use of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) possessed greater interest.

Optimization of anti-amyloid therapy (timing and duration of intervention, modality, combinations, biomarker guidance) is limited by incomplete understanding of the disease, such as relationship between amyloid and tau pathways. Mechanistic Alzheimer's progression modeling investigated how amyloid and tau pathologies are connected in driving progression.

Anti-amyloid therapies are ideal candidates for prevention trials. Secondary prevention in those at risk of ADAD (DIAN-TU) has shown reduction of brain amyloid deposition leads to significant downstream biological change; early secondary prevention using a monoclonal antibody in sporadic AD (AHEAD 3-45) is ongoing and will provide critical information on whether treating earlier leads to greater clinical benefit. However, this is not preventing disease but delaying onset in those with presymptomatic disease.

Background: Caring for family caregivers of dementia patients has grown to an important topic. Social media platforms, like Twitter, provide great resources for studying the needs of caregivers. It would be beneficial to understand the caregivers' interested or concerned topics from their tweets.
