Background: The National Institute on Aging (NIA) Imbedded Pragmatic Alzheimer's Disease and Alzheimer's Related Dementia (AD/ADRD) Clinical Trials (IMPACT) Collaboratory, in partnership with the Alzheimer's Association, convened a Lived Experience Panel (LEP), a group of 9-12 individuals, including people living with cognitive symptoms, proxies representing people with an advanced cognitive disorder or who are deceased, and care partners of a person living with dementia. The aim was for the LEP members to share their experiences with research, inform the development of research priorities, and provide input on conducting embedded pragmatic clinical trials (ePCTs) of dementia care interventions. Given the importance of providing a space for people with lived experiences to share their thoughts and recommendations, we continue to report on the final stage of LEP in its original design.

Background: Hearing rehabilitation has been a promising approach to improve cognitive outcomes. An ongoing study identified some barriers to engage patients in counseling sessions and using their hearing devices. Here we present the results from the first stage of a Sense-Cog Brazil pilot study, the recruitment phase.

The Swedish BPSD registry was founded in 2010 to develop an evidence base for quality improvement in the care of patients with BPSD. Here we describe the process of establishing and operating the registry, the patient population included, and data collected since the start of the registry in 2010.

Objective: To describe the epidemiology and clinical features of pressure injury (PI) development in adult patients supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).
Design: Retrospective, observational, cohort study from January 2018 to May 2023.
Setting: A single-centre high-volume ECMO specialist intensive care unit (ICU).
Purpose: Double-level osteotomies (DLOs) have shown promising results for knee joint preservation, however, most ultimately progress in terms of degenerative disease resulting in conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the time to TKA conversion, long-term clinical outcomes and revision rates of patients who have undergone TKA after prior ipsilateral DLO.
Methods: Patients who underwent simultaneous or staged DLO and subsequently underwent conversion to TKA at a single academic institution from 1997 to 2022 were evaluated.
