The effect of group-based exercise on cognitive performance and mood in seniors residing in intermediate care and self-care retirement facilities: a randomised controlled trial
Objective: To determine the effect of a general group-based exercise programme on cognitive performance and mood among seniors without dementia living in retirement villages.; Design: Randomised controlled trial.; Setting: Four intermediate care and four self-care retirement village sites in Sydney, Australia.; Participants: 154 seniors (19 men, 135 women; age range 62 to 95 years), who […]

An exploratory cluster randomized controlled trial of group exercise on mobility and depression in care home residents
Objective: To investigate the feasibility, acceptability and potential efficacy of group exercise for residents in care homes.; Design: Exploratory cluster randomized controlled trial.; Setting: Five randomly selected care homes in South Birmingham, UK.; Participants: Fifty-six care home residents (mean age 84.5, 71% female), 39 (70%) with cognitive impairments.; Intervention: Two homes (n = 28) were […]

An open-label study of memantine treatment in 3 subtypes of frontotemporal lobar degeneration
There are currently no Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). The objectives of this study were to explore the tolerability of memantine treatment in FTLD and to monitor for possible effects on behavior, cognition, and function. Forty-three individuals who met clinical criteria for FTLD [21 with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), 13 with […]

Randomized controlled trial of atomoxetine for cognitive dysfunction in early Huntington disease
Background: Cognitive symptoms are associated with functional disability in Huntington disease; yet, few controlled trials have examined cognitive treatments that could improve patient independence and quality of life. Atomoxetine is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor approved for treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.; Methods: Twenty participants with mild Huntington disease who complained of inattention were randomized to receive […]

Computer-based cognitive training for mild cognitive impairment: results from a pilot randomized, controlled trial
We performed a pilot randomized, controlled trial of intensive, computer-based cognitive training in 47 subjects with mild cognitive impairment. The intervention group performed exercises specifically designed to improve auditory processing speed and accuracy for 100 min/d, 5 d/wk for 6 weeks; the control group performed more passive computer activities (reading, listening, visuospatial game) for similar […]

Delusion symptoms and response to antipsychotic treatment are associated with the 5-HT2A receptor polymorphism (102T/C) in Alzheimer’s disease: a 3-year follow-up longitudinal study
Although the etiology of psychotic symptoms (hallucinations and delusions) in Alzheimer’s disease is still not known, alterations in serotonergic neurotransmission have been proposed. In a 3-year follow-up study, we evaluated the association of serotonin (5-HT) receptor 5-HT2a 102T/C polymorphism (allelic variants CC, CT and TT) with psychotic symptom severity and response to treatment with atypical […]

Reduced TNF-α and increased IGF-I levels in the serum of Alzheimer’s disease patients treated with the neurotrophic agent cerebrolysin
According to current scientific knowledge, excess tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and low insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) are pathogenic-risk factors that constitute therapeutic targets for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Changes in serum TNF-α, total and dissociable IGF-I levels were determined by ELISA in 207 AD patients completing a 24-wk, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the effects of […]

Cognitive decline from estimated premorbid status predicts neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease
This study investigated the relationship between premorbid and current cognitive function with respect to the clinical features of patients with various types of neurodegeneration in the form of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and subjective cognitive impairment (SCI), as compared with a healthy control group (C). Clinical features (MMSE, cognitive and depressive symptoms), […]

Incidence and prediction of falls in dementia: a prospective study in older people
Background: Falls are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in dementia, but there have been no prospective studies of risk factors for falling specific to this patient population, and no successful falls intervention/prevention trials. This prospective study aimed to identify modifiable risk factors for falling in older people with mild to moderate dementia.; Methods […]

Effects of donepezil, galantamine and rivastigmine in 938 Italian patients with Alzheimer’s disease: a prospective, observational study
Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs) have been used to improve cognitive status and disability in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, while the efficacy of AChEIs (i.e. how they act in randomized controlled trials) in this setting is widely accepted, their effectiveness (i.e. how they behave in the real world) remains controversial. To compare […]
