Do patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease benefit from a psycho-educational programme for family caregivers? A randomised controlled study
Objective: The Aide dans la Maladie d’Alzheimer (AIDMA) study was conducted to determine whether a psycho-educational programme (PEP) for primary caregivers in addition to standard anti-dementia drugs for patients improves caregivers’ psychological condition and patients’ activities of daily life.; Method: Multicentre randomised controlled intervention trial. One hundred and sixty-seven dyads ‘patient-caregiver’ were recruited from 15 […]

Pharmacological modulation of cognitive and behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease
To evaluate correlations of pharmacological treatment with cognitive and behavioral symptoms in patients with dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease with low schooling, subjects were assessed for demographic features, neuropsychiatric symptoms, cognitive decline, functionality, caregiver burden, APOE haplotypes and pharmacological treatment. Among 217 patients, use of cholinesterase inhibitors with or without Memantine was associated with less […]

Cognitive changes in mild cognitive impairment patients with impaired visual recognition memory
Objective: This study aims to evaluate whether assessing memory using the visual recognition memory task DMS48 in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) can contribute to the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In an 18-month follow-up study, we assessed if longitudinal change in aMCI patients who failed on the DMS48 differs from that of patients […]

Silicon-rich mineral water as a non-invasive test of the ‘aluminum hypothesis’ in Alzheimer’s disease
There has been a plausible link between human exposure to aluminum and Alzheimer’s disease for several decades. We contend that the only direct and ethically acceptable experimental test of the ‘aluminum hypothesis’, which would provide unequivocal data specific to the link, is to test the null hypothesis that a reduction in the body burden of […]

Pharmacodynamics of cholinesterase inhibitors suggests add-on therapy with a low-dose carbamylating inhibitor in patients on long-term treatment with rapidly reversible inhibitors
Despite three decades of intensive research in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and numerous clinical trials of new therapeutic agents, cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs) are still the mainstay of therapeutics for AD and dementia with Lewy bodies. Pharmacodynamic analyses of ChEIs provide paradoxical observations. Treatment with the rapidly reversible, noncarbamylating ChEIs (donepezil, galantamine, and tacrine) […]

Neuromidin in mixed vascular and Alzheimer’s dementia
The efficacy of neuromidin (ipidacrinum), a nonselective inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase and butyrilcholinesterase was studied in patients with mixed vascular and Alzheimer’s dementia of mild and moderate severity. Thirty patients of the main group received neyromidin in dosage 80 mg/day during 3 months; 10 patients of the comparison group matched by age, sex and severity of […]

Differential effects of current specific treatments on behavioral and psychological symptoms in patients with Alzheimer’s disease: a 12-month, randomized, open-label trial
Background: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) occur in up to 80% of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients and represent one of the most common reasons for early institutionalization and increase in management costs.; Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of four drugs (memantine, donepezil, rivastigmine, galantamine) in BPSD in AD patients.; Methods: This was […]

Multivariate spatial covariance analysis of 99mTc-exametazime SPECT images in dementia with Lewy bodies and Alzheimer’s disease: utility in differential diagnosis
We examined (99m)Tc-exametazime brain blood flow single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images using a spatial covariance analysis (SCA) approach to assess its diagnostic value in distinguishing dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) from Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Voxel SCA was simultaneously applied to a set of preprocessed images (AD, n=40; DLB, n=26), generating a series of eigenimages […]

Long-acting intranasal insulin detemir improves cognition for adults with mild cognitive impairment or early-stage Alzheimer’s disease dementia
[Correction Notice: An Erratum for this article was reported in Vol 45(4) of Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease (see record [rid]2015-17286-023[/rid]). In the original article, Tables 1 and 2 were missing. Tables 1 and 2 are present in the erratum.] Previous trials have shown promising effects of intranasally administered insulin for adults with Alzheimer’s disease dementia […]

Tolerability and efficacy of memantine add-on therapy to rivastigmine transdermal patches in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease: a multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group study
Objective: To compare the tolerability and efficacy of combination therapy of memantine plus rivastigmine patch with rivastigmine patch monotherapy in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD).; Research Design and Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, open-label study, patients entered an 8-week run-in period (a 5 cm 2 rivastigmine patch for 4 weeks, then a […]
