Background: Dementia and visual impairment are both associated with reduced mobility and impaired functioning in activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Cognitive deficits in older adults have more difficulties in performing daily tasks, increase the risk of fear of participation and may lead to injury (e.g.

Background: Knowledge of nursing home (NH) residents' everyday care preferences is foundational in that it allows for the delivery of person-centered care and individualized care planning. However, little is known about how integrating preferences into care delivery impact outcomes of care. The Preference Match Tracker is an objective metric that tracks the number of recreation activities NH residents attend that match or is "congruent" with resident important preferences.

Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a language-led dementia associated with underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) or frontotemporal lobar degeneration pathology. As part of the Alzheimer's spectrum, logopenic (lv) PPA may be particularly difficult to distinguish from amnestic AD, due to overlapping clinical features. Analysis of linguistic and acoustic variables derived from connected speech has shown promise as a diagnostic tool for differentiating dementia subtypes.

Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a language-based dementia linked with underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) or frontotemporal dementia. Clinicians often report difficulty differentiating between the logopenic (lv) and nonfluent/agrammatic (nfv) subtypes, as both variants present with disruptions to "fluency" yet for different underlying reasons. In English, acoustic and linguistic markers from connected speech samples have shown promise in machine learning (ML)-based differentiation of nfv from lv.

This research was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ab-interno trabeculectomy (Trabectome and Kahook Dual Blade) combined with phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and goniosynechialysis in eyes with primary angle-closure glaucoma. A total of 47 patients were included in the study and all the patients received the combined surgery. Intraocular pressure, anti-glaucoma medications, best-corrected visual acuity, and the number of peripheral anterior synechiae quadrants were recorded at baseline and at various time points after surgery.
