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 β-amyloid and the Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood are key biomarkers. Fluorescent probes c...
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...
Background/Objectives: With the expected growth in the number of people with dementia and the effect it has on their daily life, physical therapists will be required to provide competent care across all settings for people with dementia. This study a...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most frequent neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, is characterized by two key pathological features: extracellular amyloid beta plaques and intracellular highly phosphorylated tau protein aggregates known as neur...
Background/Objectives: This study analyzes the database of the National Alzheimer’s Coordinating Center (NACC) to examine the correlation between the age of onset and the prevalence of cognitive impairment with the number of subjects carrying A...
