We present a framework -Digi-DOP- that includes a series of evidence-based recommendations to design and apply cognitive interventions for people with Neurocognitive Disorders (NCDs) using a relatively new approach, the Differential Outcomes Procedure (DOP). To do so, we critically review the substantial experimental research conducted with relevant clinical and non-clinical populations, and the theoretical underpinnings of this procedure. We further discuss how existing digital technologies that have been used for cognitive interventions could be applied to overcome some of the limitations of DOP-based interventions and further enhance DOP benefits. Specifically, we present three digital DOP developments that are currently being designed, investigated and/or tested. Finally, we discuss constraints, ethical and legal considerations that need to be taken into account to ensure that the use of technology in DOP-based interventions proposed here does not widen disparities and inequalities. We hope that this framework will inform and guide digital health leaders and developers, researchers and healthcare professionals to design and apply DOP-based interventions for people with NCDs.

Purpose: To conduct a scoping review of the related research on cognitive frailty (CF) in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients, so as to provide a basis for early diagnosis, treatment and intervention of CF in MHD patients.

Methods: Utilizing a scoping review approach, we searched PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, the China Biological Medicine Database (CBM), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Weipu (VIP) for literature on CF in MHD patients up to October 20, 2024. Two researchers conducted independent screening and data extraction of the literature's fundamental characteristics.

Loneliness, social isolation, and living alone: a comprehensive systematic review, meta-analysis, and meta-regression of mortality risks in older adults.

Aging Clin Exp Res

January 2025

Research Laboratory Psychology of Patients, Families, and Health Professionals, Department of Nursing, School of Health Sciences, University of Ioannina, Ioannina, Greece.

Loneliness, social isolation, and living alone are significant risk factors for mortality, particularly in older adults. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify their associations with all-cause and cause-specific mortality in older adults, broadening previous research by including more social factors. Comprehensive searches were conducted in PubMed, APA PsycINFO, and CINAHL until December 31, 2023, following PRISMA 2020 and MOOSE guidelines.

Parkinson's disease (PD) stands as the sec most prevalent incapacitating neurodegenerative disorder characterized by deterioration of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) has garnered attention as a potential antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent and enhancer of mitochondrial complex-I activity. This study aimed to examine and compare the effectiveness of liposomal and non-encapsulated CoQ10 in rotenone induced-PD mouse model over a 21-day treatment duration.

Voxel-based morphometry (VBM) of T1-weighted (T1-w) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is primarily used to study the association of brain structure with cognitive functions. However, in theory, T2-weighted (T2-w) MRI could also be used in VBM studies because of its sensitivity to pathology and tissue changes. We aimed to compare the T1-w and T2-w images to study brain structures in association with cognitive abilities.

Association of objective subtle cognitive difficulties with amyloid-β and tau deposition compared to subjective cognitive decline.

Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging

January 2025

Department of Nuclear Medicine & PET Center, Huashan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai, China.

Purpose: This study evaluated the differences in amyloid-β (Aβ), tau deposition, and longitudinal tau deposition between subjective cognitive decline (SCD) and objective subtle cognitive difficulties (Obj-SCD).

Methods: Participants from the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort (n = 234) and the Huashan cohort (n = 267) included individuals with Obj-SCD, SCD, subjective memory concern (SMC), and healthy controls (HC). General linear models (GLM) were used to compare baseline and longitudinal differences in Aβ and tau among the groups, and to examine the associations between these biomarkers.
