Long-term safety of rivastigmine in parkinson disease dementia: an open-label, randomized study
Objective: This study investigated the long-term safety of rivastigmine (12 mg/d capsules, 9.5 mg/24 h patch) and effects on motor symptoms in patients with mild-to-moderately severe Parkinson disease dementia.; Methods: This was a 76-week, prospective, open-label, randomized study in patients aged 50 to 85 years. Primary outcomes included incidence of, and discontinuation due to, predefined […]

Assessment of sociocognitive functions in neurological patients Presentation of a French adaptation of two tools and implementation in frontal dementia
This paper presents a French battery designed to assess emotional and sociocognitive abilities in neurological patients in clinical practice. The first part of this battery includes subtests assessing emotions: a recognition task of primary facial emotions, a discrimination task of facial emotions, a task of expressive intensity judgment, a task of gender identification, a recognition […]

Effect of a non-pharmacological intervention, Voix d’Or(®), on behavior disturbances in Alzheimer disease and associated disorders
An innovative non-pharmacological intervention called Voix d’Or(®) (Golden Voice) was proposed in the Cognitive behavioral unit (CBU) of the Memory center at the Hospices civils in Lyon. Voix d’Or(®) offers eight sound activities disseminated via an audio device based on different approaches sociotherapeutic (music therapy, reminiscence, relaxation, reorientation in reality). The aim of this study […]

Do patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease benefit from a psycho-educational programme for family caregivers? A randomised controlled study
Objective: The Aide dans la Maladie d’Alzheimer (AIDMA) study was conducted to determine whether a psycho-educational programme (PEP) for primary caregivers in addition to standard anti-dementia drugs for patients improves caregivers’ psychological condition and patients’ activities of daily life.; Method: Multicentre randomised controlled intervention trial. One hundred and sixty-seven dyads ‘patient-caregiver’ were recruited from 15 […]

Cognitive changes in mild cognitive impairment patients with impaired visual recognition memory
Objective: This study aims to evaluate whether assessing memory using the visual recognition memory task DMS48 in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) can contribute to the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In an 18-month follow-up study, we assessed if longitudinal change in aMCI patients who failed on the DMS48 differs from that of patients […]

Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease patients with rapid cognitive decline in clinical practice: interest of the Deco questionnaire
Background: Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) who deteriorate rapidly are likely to have a poorer prognosis. There is a clear need for a clinical assessment tool to detect such a decline in newly diagnosed patients.; Objective: To identify the predictive factors of rapid cognitive decline (RCD) in a cohort of patients with mild to moderate […]

A subtest of the MMSE as a valid test of episodic memory? Comparison with the Free and Cued Reminding Test
Background/aims: Episodic memory impairment is known to be the core of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia syndrome and one of the earliest domains to decline. However, episodic memory tests are long and expensive.; Methods: In a sample of the French Three-City Study (n = 1,516), we aimed at validating a subtest of the Mini-Mental State Examination […]

Olive oil and cognition: results from the three-city study
Background: Olive oil is a major component of the Mediterranean diet suggested to be beneficial to counteract Alzheimer’s disease.; Aim Of the Study: Our objective was to examine the association between olive oil use, cognitive deficit and cognitive decline in a large elderly population.; Methods: We followed 6,947 subjects with a brief baseline food frequency […]

Gait changes with anti-dementia drugs: a prospective, open-label study combining single and dual task assessments in patients with Alzheimer’s disease
Background: No comparison of anti-dementia drugs-related gait changes has been previously conducted combining single and dual task assessments.; Objectives: (1) To quantify and compare gait changes among patients with possible or probable Alzheimer’s disease before and after the use of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (i.e., donepezil, galantamine, rivastigmine) or memantine, and among controls with possible or probable […]

Comparison of adverse drug reactions with donepezil versus memantine: analysis of the French Pharmacovigilance Database
Background: Since donepezil and memantine are currently used for treating Alzheimer’s disease, it is interesting to analyse, reassess and compare their safety profile in order to promote a better use.; Methods: All spontaneous reports of suspected serious adverse drug reactions with donepezil alone and with memantine alone recorded in the French Pharmacovigilance Database during 6 […]
