The paper gives the results of experimental and clinical studies of the nootropic agents dimephosphone, sermion, and piracetam on local cerebral circulation, cerebrovascular responsiveness and O2 tension. The vasoactivity of the parameters studied has been shown to be displayed by their ability to normalize cerebrovascular responsiveness and it is associated with decreased brain tissue oxygen consumption when dimephosphone is applied and with its increased one when sermion and piracetam are used.

Background: Vascular dementia (VaD) is one of the most prevalent, burdensome, and costly forms of dementia. Pharmacological treatment is often the first-line choice for clinicians; however, there is a paucity of comparative information regarding the multiple available drug options.

Methods And Analysis: A systematic review and network meta-analysis were conducted on randomized trials involving adult patients with VaD, sourced from PubMed, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Web of Science, OPENGREY, ClinicalTrials.

Distress and senescence, their reciprocal aggravating-quickening connections, and their related pathologies have a large worldwide impact on healthcare systems in this new millennium. For this reason, Antagonic-Stress (AS)--an advanced integrative therapy, with specific synergistic composition, and patented internationally--represents a significant strategy in health, aging, and longevity. Clinical research with AS proves the drug's efficacy in the management of distress (neurotic, stress-related, and affective disorders; behavioral syndromes associated with physiological disturbances and physical factors; mental and behavioral disorders due to psychoactive substance uses) and psychogeriatrics [organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders (OMD)].

This is a review of the data available in the literature and the authors' own findings on pathogenetical rationale for the use and clinical study of current treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD) (synonym: Alzheimer-type dementia). In the past decade many attempts have been made at targeting different links of the pathogenesis of a neurodegenerative process that underlie AD. Several areas of pathogenetical therapy for AD have been developed on the basis of experimental studies and pilot clinical tests.

Pharmacological treatment of patients suffering from sporadic late-onset dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) is controversely discussed, omitting the fact that this age-related most frequently occurring DAT form is based on a heterogenous pathogenesis, but forms a rather uniform clinical phenotype. Furthermore, sporadic late-onset DAT is influenced in two different ways, 1) by the aging process, and 2) by the disease process itself. In this context, changes in brain glucose/energy metabolism, maintenance of calcium homeostasis, and membrane stability are discussed.
