Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies have demonstrated regional patterns of brain macrostructural atrophy and white matter microstructural alterations separately in the three major subtypes of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), which includes behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD), semantic dementia (SD), and progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA). This study was to investigate to what extent the pattern […]

Several molecular subtypes of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease have been identified and electroencephalogram and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers have been reported to support clinical diagnosis but with variable utility according to subtype. In recent years, a series of publications have demonstrated a potentially important role for magnetic resonance imaging in the pre-mortem diagnosis of sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. […]

Objectives: To investigate maintenance of training effects of a novel brain plasticity-based computerized cognitive training program in older adults after a 3-month no-contact period.; Design: Multisite, randomized, controlled, double-blind trial with two treatment groups.; Setting: Communities in northern and southern California and Minnesota.; Participants: Four hundred eighty-seven community-dwelling adults aged 65 and older without diagnosis […]
Comparing registration methods for mapping brain change using tensor-based morphometry
Measures of brain changes can be computed from sequential MRI scans, providing valuable information on disease progression for neuroscientific studies and clinical trials. Tensor-based morphometry (TBM) creates maps of these brain changes, visualizing the 3D profile and rates of tissue growth or atrophy. In this paper, we examine the power of different nonrigid registration models […]
Concentration of donepezil to the cognitive response in Alzheimer disease
Yang, Yuan-Han,
Chen, Chun-Hung,
Chou, Mei-Chuan,
Li, Chien-Hsun,
Liu, Ching-Kuan,
Chen, Su-Hwei
Background: Donepezil has been approved, and higher dosages are recommended for the treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD). However, a few studies have reported different cognitive responses in patients with AD treated with donepezil without measuring the concentration.; Methods: We evaluated the relationships between the therapeutic responses and plasma concentrations of donepezil in various cognitive domains […]
Effects of cognitive stimulation therapy Japanese version (CST-J) for people with dementia: a single-blind, controlled clinical trial
Yamanaka, Katsuo,
Kawano, Yoshiyuki,
Noguchi, Dai,
Nakaaki, Shutaro,
Watanabe, Norio,
Amano, Takashi,
Spector, Aimee
Objectives: Cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) has shown to have significant benefits in improving the cognitive function and quality of life (QOL) in people with mild-to-moderate dementia in a UK randomized controlled trial (RCT). We developed and examined the Japanese version of group CST (CST-J) in a single-blind, controlled clinical trial.; Method: CST-J consisting of 14 […]
