Hoarding disorder is a chronic and progressive psychiatric disorder that often begins in adolescence and early adulthood. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of hoarding severity on college students' psychosocial functioning and possible methods of early intervention. Undergraduate students ( = 363) at a large public university in the United States. Participants completed a self-report battery that included their parental history of clutter, perceptions about possible interventions for clutter, and standardized measures of hoarding severity, psychiatric symptoms, and psychosocial functioning. Hoarding symptom severity predicted significant unique variance in emotional support and companionship, even when controlling for comorbid psychiatric symptoms. The main reasons endorsed by participants for disorganization of their objects despite adequate storage space were "lack of time" (37%), "easily distracted" (26%), and "procrastination" (34%). Emerging adults may benefit from early intervention focused on time management, attentional control, and consistent motivation.

Background: The vicious cycle between depression and dementia increases the risk of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathogenesis and pathology. This study investigates therapeutic effectiveness versus side effects and the underlying mechanisms of intranasal dantrolene nanoparticles (IDNs) to treat depression behavior and memory loss in 5XFAD mice.
Method: 5XFAD and wild-type B6SJLF1/J mice were treated with IDNs (IDN, 5 mg/kg) in Ryanodex formulation for a duration of 12 weeks.

Background: Effective early intervention of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the key for preventing dementia. However, there is currently no drug for MCI. As a multi-targeted neuroprotective agent, butylphthalide has been demonstrated to repair cognition in patients with vascular cognitive impairment, and has the potential to treat MCI due to Alzheimer's disease (AD).

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.

Background: The effectiveness of multimodal lifestyle interventions to prevent dementia is being validated. Since a relatively long period (∼2 years) is required for manifesting an impact on cognitive function, the exploration of an alternative marker that exhibits changes within a comparatively brief duration, thereby prognosticating future alterations in cognitive function, is needed. The decline in gait function is associated with cognitive impairment and is also a predictor of future cognitive decline.

Previous work has demonstrated highly specific binding of a novel Re complex (Re-1) complex to amyloid-β (Aβ) in vitro, subsequently inhibiting fibril formation and reducing Aβ-induced cytotoxicity in neuronal cell cultures. The aim of this preliminary study is to evaluate the efficacy of early intervention combining FUS-BBBO and Re-1 for anxiety amelioration and memory improvement in a triple transgenic (3xTg)-AD mouse model.
