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 […]
English longitudinal study of aging: Can Internet/E-mail use reduce cognitive decline?
Xavier, A. J.,
d'Orsi, E.,
de Oliveira, C. M.,
Orrell, M.,
Demakakos, P.,
Biddulph, J. P.,
Marmot, M. G.
Background: Cognitive decline is a major risk factor for disability, dementia, and death. The use of Internet/E-mail, also known as digital literacy, might decrease dementia incidence among the older population. The aim was to investigate whether digital literacy might be associated with decreased cognitive decline in older adulthood. Methods: Data from the English Longitudinal Study […]
Tailored educational intervention for primary care to improve the management of dementia: the EVIDEM-ED cluster randomized controlled trial

Lefford, Frances,
Rapp, David
Background: Early diagnosis of dementia is important because this allows those with dementia and their families to engage support and plan ahead. However, dementia remains underdetected and suboptimally managed in general practice. Our objective was to test the effect of a workplace-based tailored educational intervention developed for general practice on the clinical management of people […]
Effects of small-scale, home-like facilities in dementia care on residents’ behavior, and use of physical restraints and psychotropic drugs: A quasi-experimental study
Verbeek, Hilde,
Zwakhalen, Sandra M.G.,
van Rossum, Erik,
Ambergen, Ton,
Kempen, Gertrudis I.J.M.,
Hamers, Jan P.H.
Background: Small-scale, home-like care environments are increasingly implemented in institutional nursing care as a model to promote resident-directed care, although evidence on its effects is sparse. This study focuses on the effects of small-scale living facilities on the behavior of residents with dementia and use of physical restraints and psychotropic drugs. Methods: A quasi-experimental study […]
Do nurse-led skill training interventions affect informal caregivers’ out-of-pocket expenditures?
Van Houtven, C. H.,
Thorpe, J. M.,
Chestnutt, D.,
Molloy, M.,
Boling, J. C.,
Davis, L. L.
Purpose Of the Study: This paper is a report of a study of the Assistance, Support, and Self-health Initiated through Skill Training (ASSIST) randomized control trial. The aim of this paper is to understand whether participating in ASSIST significantly changed the out-of-pocket (OOP) costs for family caregivers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) or Parkinson’s disease (PD) […]
The implementation of integrated emotion-oriented care: did it actually change the attitude, skills and time spent of trained caregivers?
van der Kooij, C.,
Droes, R.,
de Lange, J.,
Ettema, T.,
Cools, H.,
van Tilburg, W.
Background: Successful implementation is a vital precondition for investigating the outcome of care innovation. This study concerned the evaluation of the implementation of integrated emotion-oriented care (IEOC) in psychogeriatric nursing home wards. The main question was whether the trained caregivers actually applied the knowledge and techniques of IEOC during their daily work.; Methods: The study […]

Background and Purpose: MTI is a quantitative MR imaging technique that has recently demonstrated structural integrity differences between controls and patients with HD. Potentially, MTI can be used as a biomarker for monitoring disease progression. To establish the value of MTI as a biomarker, we aimed to examine the change in these measures during the […]
