Our objective was to compare responsiveness and construct validity of change scores, following donepezil treatment, of the standardized Mini-Mental State Examination (sMMSE) and other measures potentially usable in primary care.; Methods: A six-month, outcome measurement study. […]

A randomized controlled trial of an activity specific exercise program for individuals with Alzheimer disease in long-term care settings

Patterns of cognitive decline, conversion rates, and predictive validity for 3 models of MCI
Our objective was to compare the predictive ability of different models of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as a marker of incipient dementia in a longitudinal population-based Canadian sample. We examined the use of existing, well-documented MCI criteria using data from persons who underwent a clinical examination in the second wave of the Canadian Study of […]

Prospective flutemetamol positron emission tomography and histopathology in normal pressure hydrocephalus
Unlabelled: BACKGOUND/OBJECTIVE: To determine the level of association between uptake of the amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) imaging agent [(18)F]flutemetamol and the level of amyloid-β measured by immunohistochemical and histochemical staining in a frontal cortical region biopsy site.; Methods: Seventeen patients with probable normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) underwent prospective [(18)F]flutemetamol PET and subsequent frontal cortical […]

Individual music therapy for agitation in dementia: an exploratory randomized controlled trial
Objectives: Agitation in nursing home residents with dementia leads to increase in psychotropic medication, decrease in quality of life, and to patient distress and caregiver burden. Music therapy has previously been found effective in treatment of agitation in dementia care but studies have been methodologically insufficient. The aim of this study was to examine the […]

Background: Despite increasing knowledge about the limited effectiveness and severe adverse effects, the prescription rate of psychotropic medications in frail elderly persons remains high. Prescriptions are mainly made to control behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, although factors associated with prescriptions are rarely reported. However, such information is a prerequisite to develop intervention programs aiming […]

Galantamine treatment in outpatients with mild Alzheimer’s disease
Objective: To assess long-term effectiveness of galantamine in community-dwelling persons with mild Alzheimer’s disease.; Methods: Prospective open-label trial including patients with mild AD (NINCDS-ADRDA criteria) treated with galantamine for up to 36 months. Outcome parameters included ADAS-cog/11, Bayer-ADL scale (self- and caregivers’ ratings), 10-item NPI and CGI-change, safety and tolerability measures. Data are presented based […]

Vital conversations with family in the nursing home: preparation for end-stage dementia care
Family members of persons with advanced dementia may be asked to make complex treatment decisions without having adequate knowledge regarding the risks and benefits. This 6-month, prospective, randomized trial tested the effect of an intervention consisting of a face-to-face, structured conversation about end-of-life care options with family members of nursing home residents with advanced dementia. […]
