Dementia progressively erodes autonomy, personal identity, and the ability to manage everyday life, placing growing demands on the people who provide care. Many AI-based assistive tools respond to this challenge by prioritizing what the algorithm can...
Background/Objectives: Population-based risk stratification for dementia is increasingly important in rapidly ageing societies. Developing prediction models for incident dementia using longitudinal survey data remains challenging because new events a...
Background: The clinical adoption of anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies, including lecanemab and donanemab, has changed Alzheimer’s disease management from primarily symptomatic care toward biologically targeted intervention. This transition su...
Background/Objectives: Healthcare systems worldwide face challenges regarding dementia diagnosis and offered care. The focus within services has been on diagnosis and waiting times monitored through key centralised performance metrics. However, inequ...
Background: Goal setting is a core component of Occupational Therapy (OT), yet its application in people with dementia remains complex due to cognitive impairment and contextual factors. Evidence on how goal setting is implemented in this population...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, and women are disproportionately affected. This review examines the evidence that estrogen signaling contributes to this disparity and asks what a molecularly targeted therap...
Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) care is increasingly communication-intensive, requiring sustained caregiver education, symptom monitoring, behavioral management, and coordination across fragmented clinical settings. Large language models (...
Sleep loss is increasingly recognized as a potentially modifiable factor in cognitive aging and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Evidence supports a bidirectional relationship in which sleep disruption may both reflect early AD-related neurodegenerati...
Alzheimer’s and related dementias are not inevitable consequences of aging. This manuscript proposes that they arise when cumulative stress exceeds the repair capacity of three biological systems critical for maintaining brain health: proteosta...
