This study examined in detail patterns of cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) and memantine use and explored the relationship between patient characteristics and such use. Patients with probable Alzheimer disease AD (n=201) were recruited from the Predictors Study in 3 academic AD centers and followed from early disease stages for up to 6 years. Random effects logistic […]

The study aimed to verify whether the format of an individual or group intervention, applied in a multimodal cognitive stimulation program (MCSP), had an impact on progression and behavioral disturbances associated with Alzheimer’s disease patients (AD). Forty-five participants diagnosed with probable AD were randomly divided into 3 groups. The performance of both experimental groups, receiving […]
