Research suggests that the quality of care provided by family members may be influenced by the quality of relationship they have with the person living with dementia. The study investigated this in the context of assisting with daily activities. The quality of the relationship was assessed using the conceptual framework of relationship continuity/discontinuity which focuses on whether the carer experiences their relationship as continuous or discontinuous with the pre-dementia relationship.

Diabetes increases the risk of dementia, and insulin resistance (IR) has emerged as a potential unifying feature. Here, we review published findings over the past 2 decades on the relation of diabetes and IR to brain health, including those related to cognition and neuropathology, in the Religious Orders Study, the Rush Memory and Aging Project, and the Minority Aging Research Study (ROS/MAP/MARS), three harmonised cohort studies of ageing and dementia at the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center (RADC). A wide range of participant data, including information on medical conditions such as diabetes and neuropsychological tests, as well as other clinical and laboratory-based data collected annually.

Background/purpose: Chronic periodontitis and tooth loss contribute to cognitive decline. Since many biological processes are shared by loss of teeth and loss of pulps, this study investigated the potential association between loss of pulp and the development of dementia.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted to investigate the association between dental treatment and the development of dementia.

Inflammation and angiogenesis have been defined as potential mechanisms associated with clinical progression from a cognitively normal state to Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this observational case-control study, we aimed to determine plasma levels of cytokines as indicators of inflammation involved in cognitive decline. We measured 30 plasma proteins in 49 controls (CTL), 36 individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and 52 patients diagnosed with probable AD.

Transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B), previously identified as a risk factor in frontotemporal lobar degeneration, has recently been detected to form fibrillar aggregates in the brains of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) and normal elders. While the specifics of when and where TMEM106B fibrils accumulate in human brains, as well as their connection to aging and disease progression, remain poorly understood. Here, we identified an antibody (NBP1-91311) that directly binds to TMEM106B fibrils extracted from the brain and to Thioflavin S-positive TMEM106B fibrillar aggregates in brain sections.
