Although psychiatric aftercare has received increased attention, little is known about patients' needs for community resources or about predischarge referral patterns. The authors interviewed hospital staff about needs and referrals for each of 747 patients about to be discharged. Nearly all patients had needs in the medical/therapeutic area and most received referrals. In three other nonmedical aftercare areas needs were identified for a much lower percentage of patients, and identified need was two to three times greater than referrals made. The authors discuss the implications of these findings for the provision of aftercare services.

Center for Cognitive Disorders, Technical University of Munich, School of Medicine and Health, Klinikum rechts der Isar, Munich, Bavaria, Germany.
Background: The increasing number of people living with dementia and its burden on families and systems particularly in low- andmiddle-income countries require comprehensive and ecient post-diagnostic management. This study aimed to explore the acceptability and ecacy of a multi-professional case management and psychoeducation model (North Macedonia Interprofessional Dementia Care, or NOMAD) delivered bymobile teams for people with dementia and their caregivers in North Macedonia.
Method: We conducted a two-arm randomized controlled trial comparing the intervention with treatment as usual.

Background: Given that the majority of people with dementia live in their homes in the community and are primarily cared for by informal caregivers, there is a growing interest in developing interventions suitable for this setting. Further, it is important to establish how music selections can differentially affect PwD. In this pilot trial, we thus compare two caregiver-delivered music listening MBIs with care-as-usual.

Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Background: Best practice recommendations suggest a person close to a patient with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia be involved in their care. This person is often referred to as a "caregiver," though the term "care partner" has increasingly been used in research and care instead of "caregiver." Unlike "caregiver," "care partner" suggests a collaborative relationship between the patient and their support person, in which the patient actively participates rather than passively receives help.

Huntington's disease (HD) causes progressive cognitive decline, with no available treatments. Computerized cognitive training (CCT) has shown efficacy in other populations, but its effects in HD are largely unknown. This pilot study will explore the effects and neural mechanisms of CCT in HD.

Evaluation of mechanisms of action of EEG neurofeedback (EEG-nf) using simultaneous fMRI is highly desirable to ensure its effective application for clinical rehabilitation and therapy. Counterbalancing training runs with active neurofeedback and sham (neuro)feedback for each participant is a promising approach to demonstrate specificity of training effects to the active neurofeedback. We report the first study in which EEG-nf procedure is both evaluated using simultaneous fMRI and controlled via the counterbalanced active-sham study design.
