Efficacy of acatinol memantine in mild cognitive disorder

An open 6 month clinical trial of efficacy of acatinol has been carried out in patients with mild cognitive disorder (MCD). Forty patients received acatinol and 20 patients of comparison group were treated with piracetam. Mean age of patients was 67,7+/-7,2 years. Patient’s state was assessed with a battery of scales, questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. […]

Galantamine (reminyl) in the treatment of severe Alzheimer’s disease

Twenty-five patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in moderate-severe and severe stages received galantamine in dosage 8 mg daily during the 1st month with the following increasing to 16 mg daily. Six patients received 24 mg per day from the 3rd month. The total duration of therapy was 26 weeks. 15 patients received in addition the […]

Continuous dopaminergic stimulation by Duodopa in advanced Parkinson’s disease: Efficacy and safety

Introduction: When advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients experience motor complications (fluctuations and dyskinesias) despite standard oral treatment, two treatment options are available: deep brain stimulation and subcutaneous apomorphine infusion with respects of indications for each strategy. Continuous intraduodenal infusion of levodopa (Duodopa) via a gastrojejunal tube may be proposed at this stage of the disease […]

Use of memantine (akatinol) for the correction of cognitive impairments in Parkinson’s disease complicated by dementia

This study addresses the effects of 52 weeks of treatment with the NMDA glutamate receptor antagonist memantine on motor, cognitive, and mental disorders in patients with Parkinson’s disease complicated by dementia, as compared with a control group of patients not treated with memantine. Patients of the experimental group (32 subjects) received memantine (20 mg/day), while […]

Improved cognitive-cerebral function in older adults with chromium supplementation

Insulin resistance is implicated in the pathophysiological changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease, and pharmaceutical treatments that overcome insulin resistance improve memory function in subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease. Chromium (Cr) supplementation improves glucose disposal in patients with insulin resistance and diabetes. We sought to assess whether supplementation with Cr might […]

Effectiveness and tolerability of high-dose (23 mg/d) versus standard-dose (10 mg/d) donepezil in moderate to severe Alzheimer’s disease: A 24-week, randomized, double-blind study

Background: Currently approved Alzheimer’s disease (AD) treatments have been reported to provide symptomatic benefit, without proven impact on clinical progression. We hypothesized that the loss of initial therapeutic benefit over time may be mitigated by higher doses of a cholinesterase inhibitor.; Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness and tolerability of […]

A 25-week, open-label trial investigating rivastigmine transdermal patches with concomitant memantine in mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease: a post hoc analysis

Objective: To investigate the tolerability and efficacy of the rivastigmine transdermal patch in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease receiving concomitant memantine.; Research Design and Methods: Post hoc analysis of a 25-week, randomized, prospective, open-label, parallel-group study. Patients receiving donepezil were switched to rivastigmine patches (4.6 mg/24 h) immediately or following a 7-day withdrawal for 4 […]

Low-dose divalproex in agitated patients with Alzheimer’s disease

Adequate treatment of behavioral disturbances in Alzheimer’s disease is both important and difficult. This report describes a case series that examined the effectiveness and safety of low-dose divalproex in the treatment of agitated patients with Alzheimer’s disease who were admitted to an inpatient geriatric psychiatry unit over a 1-year period. All patients had agitation due […]

Effects of rivastigmine transdermal patch and capsule on aspects of clinical global impression of change in Alzheimer’s disease: a retrospective analysis

Background: The Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study-Clinical Global Impression of Change (ADCS-CGIC) scale is widely used in Alzheimer trials. It assesses cognition, activities of daily living (ADLs), behavior and global functioning. To advance the understanding of relationships between the ADCS-CGIC and scores from other commonly used tools, this analysis investigated the ability of each domain to […]

Rivastigmine transdermal patch skin tolerability: results of a 1-year clinical trial in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease

Background and Objectives: Transdermal patches provide non-invasive, continuous drug delivery, and offer significant potential advantages over oral treatments. With all transdermal treatments a proportion of patients will experience some form of skin reaction. The rivastigmine patch has been approved for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD) since July 2007 in the US. The aim […]
