We analyzed verbal episodic memory learning and recall using the Logical Memory (LM) subtest of the Wechsler Memory Scale-III to determine how gender differences in AD compare to those seen in normal elderly and whether or not these differences impact assessment of AD. We administered the LM to both an AD and a Control group, […]
Safety and effectiveness of donepezil on behavioral symptoms in patients with Alzheimer disease
The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and treatment responsiveness of neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with mild to moderately severe Alzheimer disease recruited in a naturalistic treatment setting in Spain. All the patients, who matched the prescribing recommendations for donepezil and were able to participate in the study, received donepezil (5 to […]
Diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease patients with rapid cognitive decline in clinical practice: interest of the Deco questionnaire
Carcaillon, L.,
Berrut, G.,
Sellal, F.,
Dartigues, J. F.,
Gillette, S.,
Pere, J. J.,
Bourdeix, I.
Background: Patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) who deteriorate rapidly are likely to have a poorer prognosis. There is a clear need for a clinical assessment tool to detect such a decline in newly diagnosed patients.; Objective: To identify the predictive factors of rapid cognitive decline (RCD) in a cohort of patients with mild to moderate […]
Trazodone improves sleep parameters in Alzheimer disease patients: A randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled study

Naves, Janeth O.S.,
Louzada, Fernando M.,
Nóbrega, Otávio T.
Objectives: There are no randomized clinical trials regarding efficacy of trazodone in the treatment of sleep disturbances (SD) in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). We tested the efficacy and safety of trazodone to treat SD in patients with AD. Design: We conducted a double-blind, randomized and controlled trial during periods of 7–9 days at baseline […]

Mjalli, Adnan MM
Background: TTP488, an antagonist at the Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products, was evaluated as a potential treatment for patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A previous report describes decreased decline in ADAS-cog (delta = 3.1, p = 0.008 at 18 months, ANCOVA with multiple imputation), relative to placebo, following a 5 mg/day dose of TTP488. Acute, reversible cognitive […]

Background: Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiatives (“ADNI”) aim to validate neuroimaging and biochemical markers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Data of the pilot European-ADNI (E-ADNI) biological marker programme of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma candidate biomarkers are reported.; Methods: Six academic EADC centres recruited 49 subjects (healthy controls, subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD). We […]
