Background: Wearable EEG devices offer an accessible and unobtrusive system for regular brain health monitoring outside clinical settings. However, due to the current lack of data available from wearable low-density EEG devices, we need to anticipate...
Background: Dementia is a chronic, multifactorial syndrome with a high incidence and prevalence worldwide. The clinical assessment of these patients is challenging, imposing several barriers related to the system, the healthcare professional and the...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology is marked by the deposition of amyloid-β plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau neurofibrillary tangles. This pathology begins years before the first clinical symptoms emerge and progresses through several s...
Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is commonly observed after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and could have serious consequences. Its prevalence varied among prior published series. With increasing patient age, a worsening of this pro...
Background/Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder and one of the leading causes of death among older adults in the United States. It causes gradual cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired functioning....
Background: Dementia incidence is rising globally, yet its determinants remain debated. While diet has been linked to cognitive health, distinguishing dietary effects from socioeconomic and demographic transitions is challenging. This study examined...
Background/Objectives: Falls are a leading cause of hospitalization, injury, and healthcare spending among older adults. Surveillance data on local falls, especially for those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), ar...
Dementia significantly impacts cognitive, behavioral, and functional abilities, creating challenges for both individuals and caregivers. Recent advancements in HCI have introduced innovative technological solutions to support people with dementia (Pw...
Background: Performance of daily activities (Activities of Daily Living [ADLs] and Instrumental ADLs [IADLs]) is key to independent functioning in dementia, and greater I/ADL dependence contributes to burden in caregivers. We investigated how domains...
Dementia, the most common subtype of which is Alzheimer’s disease, represents a significant global and social health challenge. Its effective management is currently hindered by poor access to diagnostic services, a lack of effective treatments...
Background: Early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is constrained by invasive and costly tests. Aggregation of
Alzheimer’s disease accounts for approximately 50% to 80% of all causes of dementia. Co-existence of AD with other diseases causing dementia poses a diagnostic challenge, as we are still far from diagnosing AD accurately in order to manage it a...
Aim: As the global population ages, the number of bilingual individuals living with dementia is increasing, yet their communication needs remain underrepresented in both clinical practice and research. This evidence review examines the intersection o...
Background: Timely intervention and effective control of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have been shown to limit memory loss and preserve cognitive function and the ability to perform simple activities in older adults. In addition, magnetic resonance...
Background: Transitions from hospital to long-term care (LTC) facilities are critical periods for older adults living with dementia, often involving complex medical, cognitive, and psychosocial needs. Virtual team-based care has emerged as a promisin...
