Effects of a multimodal exercise program on balance, functional mobility and fall risk in older adults with cognitive impairment: a randomized controlled single-blind study
Background: Exercise programs have important role in prevention of falls, but to date, there are conflicting findings about the effects of exercise programs on balance, functional performance and fall risk among cognitively impaired older adults. AIM. To investigate the effects of a multimodal exercise program on static and dynamic balance, and risk of falls in […]

What effect does a structured home-based exercise programme have on people with Huntington’s disease? A randomized, controlled pilot study
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore feasibility, safety and outcome of an exercise intervention in people with Huntington’s disease.; Design: A randomized controlled pilot trial.; Setting: A home-based exercise programme.; Subjects: A total of 25 subjects with early to mid-stage Huntington’s disease.; Intervention: Subjects were randomly allocated to either an exercise intervention […]

Long-term effects of galantamine on cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease: a large-scale international retrospective study
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), it is important to consider long-term effects, not only in patients receiving treatment, but also in subjects in whom therapy has been discontinued. The present analysis evaluates the long-term effects of galantamine on cognitive function in AD in terms of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores for up to 7 years, using […]

Long-term statin therapy is associated with better episodic memory in aged familial hypercholesterolemia patients in comparison with population controls
The cognitive status of aged familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients treated with long-term statin therapy was compared with that of population controls. A comprehensive cohort of 43 elderly (age > or = 65 years) patients all with the same FH North Karelia mutation living in North Karelia (eastern Finland) was identified, 37 of whom (aged 65 […]

Influence of regular exercise on subjective sense of burden and physical symptoms in community-dwelling caregivers of dementia patients: a randomized controlled trial
With an aim to improve quality of life in caregivers of dementia patients, we examined the effect of regular exercise on caregivers’ sense of burden and their physical symptoms. Participants were 31 elderly caregivers living with older patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s-type dementia. They were randomly assigned to either the intervention group, who were prescribed regular […]

Are two methods better than one? Evaluating the effectiveness of combining errorless learning with vanishing cues
A growing trend in memory rehabilitation is to combine learning principles to enhance treatment effects. While this makes intuitive sense, little is known about the added value of incorporating each method. A further complication is that some interventions, although primarily based on one learning principle, actually incorporate several, which again adds to the difficulty in […]

Antihypertensive therapy and cerebral hemodynamics in executive mild cognitive impairment: results of a pilot randomized clinical trial
Objectives: To compare the effects of three antihypertensive medications on cerebral hemodynamic and cognitive function in hypertensive individuals with executive dysfunction.; Design: Double-blind randomized clinical trial.; Setting: Community.; Participants: Fifty-three individuals aged 60 and older with hypertension and executive dysfunction.; Intervention: Lisinopril, candesartan, or hydrochlorothiazide for 1 year.; Measurements: Cerebral blood flow velocity (BFV; transcranial […]

Evaluating proFamilies-dementia: adopting photovoice to capture clinical significance
Dementia is a challenging chronic illness that affects the patients and their families. Families often perform a full-time, specialised role, which requires expert knowledge and skills. This paper describes the evaluation of proFamilies-dementia (a programme developed to support families that care for a relative with dementia) using an innovative participatory methodology: photovoice, a qualitative method […]

The memory support system for mild cognitive impairment: randomized trial of a cognitive rehabilitation intervention
Objective: Individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have few empirically based treatment options for combating their memory loss. This study sought to examine the efficacy of a calendar/notebook rehabilitation intervention, the memory support system (MSS), for individuals with amnestic MCI.; Methods: Forty individuals with single domain amnestic MCI and their program partners were randomized […]

Effect of the bathing without a battle training intervention on bathing-associated physical and verbal outcomes in nursing home residents with dementia: a randomized crossover diffusion study
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of the Bathing Without a Battle intervention in reducing physical and verbal aggressive behaviors for nursing home residents with dementia.; Design: A randomized crossover diffusion study, with one group receiving the intervention after one round of baseline observations and a delayed intervention group receiving the intervention after two rounds of […]
