Neurocognitive diseases are diagnosed in specialized centers such as memory clinics, where the waiting time can be long. The reference assessment involves a battery of tests carried out by a specialized team. Facilitating screening in primary care using new technologies could make it possible to appropriately direct care pathways towards specialist care. This work aimed to set up a battery of questionnaires, cognitive and manual dexterity tests on a digital tablet to screen people with cognitive impairment. Three groups of people are recruited from a memory consultation: people with major neurocognitive disorders, people with mild neurocognitive disorders and people with no cognitive impairment. Initial results in geriatric settings show that the digital tablet assessment test is feasible and well accepted, but that manual dexterity assessment needs to be adapted to the bodily particularities of the very old.

Although antipsychotics are used commonly for delirium, they increase the risk of mortality in elderly patients and those with dementia. As hydroxyzine has sedative and anxiolytic effects, it can be used in the treatment of delirium. We performed a retrospective study to compare the effects of intravenous hydroxyzine and haloperidol monotherapy on delirium.

Background: The prompt and accurate identification of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is crucial for preventing its progression into more severe neurodegenerative diseases. However, current diagnostic solutions, such as biomarkers and cognitive screening tests, prove costly, time-consuming, and invasive, hindering patient compliance and the accessibility of these tests. Therefore, exploring a more cost-effective, efficient, and noninvasive method to aid clinicians in detecting MCI is necessary.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is linked to abnormal brain structure and cognitive dysfunction. However, there is a lack of studies conducted to assess the impact of diabetes on cortical gyrification and cognition. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess the potential negative effects of glucose metabolism levels on cognition and cortical gyrification in T2DM.
