Background: Neuropsychiatric symptoms occur frequently in many nursing home residents with dementia. Despite the availability of multidisciplinary guidelines, neuropsychiatric symptoms are often inadequately managed. Three proven effective methods for managing neuropsychiatric symptoms were integrated into a single intervention method: the STIP-Method, a personalized integrated stepped-care method to prevent and treat neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Article Synopsis
- Some doctors use antipsychotic medications to help people with dementia who are feeling very anxious or confused, but it's unclear if these medications really help and they might cause other problems.
- Researchers wanted to find out if these medications are safe and effective for treating agitation and psychosis specifically in people with Alzheimer's and vascular dementia.
- They looked through many studies and carefully picked which ones to include in their review, focusing on trials where people were either given the medication or a placebo (fake medicine) to see how they reacted.

The relatively poor simulation of the below-ground processes is a severe drawback for many ecosystem models, especially when predicting responses to climate change and management. For a meaningful estimation of ecosystem production and the cycling of water, energy, nutrients and carbon, the integration of soil processes and the exchanges at the surface is crucial. It is increasingly recognized that soil biota play an important role in soil organic carbon and nutrient cycling, shaping soil structure and hydrological properties through their activity, and in water and nutrient uptake by plants through mycorrhizal processes.

Objective: The effect of an intervention on neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS), particularly agitation and aggression, and psychotropic drug use (PDU) in institutionalized people with young-onset dementia (YOD) was evaluated.
Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted using a stepped wedge design. Thirteen YOD special care units were randomly assigned to three groups, which received the intervention at different time points.
Multicomponent Program to Reduce Functional Decline in Frail Elderly People: A Cluster Controlled Trial.

Background: The increasing number of community-dwelling frail elderly people poses a challenge to general practice. We evaluated the effectiveness of a general practitioner-led extensive, multicomponent program integrating cure, care, and welfare for the prevention of functional decline.
Methods: We performed a cluster controlled trial in 12 general practices in Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
