Background: Pharmacoepidemiologic studies assessing drug effectiveness for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are increasingly popular given the critical need for effective therapies for ADRD. To meet the urgent need for robust dementia ascertainment from real-world data, we aimed to develop a novel algorithm for identifying incident and prevalent dementia in claims.
Method: We developed algorithm candidates by different timing/frequency of dementia diagnosis/treatment to identify dementia from inpatient/outpatient/prescription claims for 6,515 and 3,997 participants from Visits 5 (2011-2013; mean age 75.
Background: We have previously reported the neuroprotective effects of fosgonimeton in amyloid-β (Aβ)-driven preclinical models of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Fosgonimeton is an investigational small-molecule positive modulator of the neurotrophic hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) system, currently under investigation for mild-to-moderate AD (LIFT-AD; NCT04488419). Given the recent approvals of Aβ-targeting monoclonal antibodies (Aβ-mAbs) for the treatment of AD, and growing recognition that combination therapies may improve treatment outcomes, we sought to investigate the preclinical activity of fosgonimeton in the presence of Aβ-mAbs.

Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is a cyclic guanosine monophosphate-degrading enzyme involved in numerous biological pathways including those relevant to memory formation. PDE5 inhibition offers the potential to attenuate AD progression by acting at the downstream level of beta-amyloid and tau elevation.

Intubation of patients requiring cervical spine immobilization can be challenging. Recently, the use of C-MAC video laryngoscopes (VL) has increased in popularity over direct laryngoscopy (DL). We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of C-MAC VL as compared with DL for intubation in C-spine immobilized patients.

The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs (CDMRP) originated in 1992 via a Congressional appropriation to foster novel approaches to biomedical research in response to the expressed needs of its stakeholders-the American public, the military, and Congress. Currently there are 35 CDMRP programs each addressing a specific disease or condition. The Peer Reviewed Alzheimer's Research Program (PRARP) began in 2011 and has a vision to mitigate the impact of Alzheimer's and related dementias associated with military and diverse risks.
