Concord grape juice supplementation and neurocognitive function in human aging
Polyphenol compounds found in berry fruits, in particular flavonoids, have been associated with health benefits including improvement in cognition and neuronal function with aging. Concord grape juice contains polyphenols, including anthocyanins and flavanols, and previous research has shown improvement in a number of human health conditions with grape juice supplementation. In the current study, older […]

Dairy consumption and working memory performance in overweight and obese adults
All individuals will experience some degree of cognitive impairment in their later years. Diet is one readily modifiable factor that may influence cognitive function and psychological well-being. Very little research has considered the potential role of dairy foods in modulating cognitive and psychological functions. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of […]

Functional response to cholinesterase inhibitor therapy in a naturalistic Alzheimer’s disease cohort
Background: Activities of daily living (ADL) are an essential part of the diagnostic criteria for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A decline in ADL affects independent living and has a strong negative impact on caregiver burden. Functional response to cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment and factors that might influence this response in naturalistic AD patients need investigating. The […]

Effect of acupuncture in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer disease: a functional MRI study
We aim to clarify the mechanisms of acupuncture in treating mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer disease (AD) by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Thirty-six right-handed subjects (8 MCI patients, 14 AD patients, and 14 healthy elders) participated in this study. Clinical and neuropsychological examinations were performed on all the subjects. MRI data acquisition […]

Long-term outcome and prediction models of activities of daily living in Alzheimer disease with cholinesterase inhibitor treatment
In untreated patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) the functional ability is gradually lost. What happens to the patients after continuous long-term cholinesterase inhibitor (ChEI) treatment is less investigated. The objective of this study was to describe the longitudinal functional outcome and analyze factors affecting the outcome in ChEI-treated patients. In an open, 3-year, nonrandomized, prospective, […]

Viewing Art on a Tablet Computer: A Well-Being Intervention for People With Dementia and Their Caregivers
BACKGROUND: Art-based interventions have been shown to be beneficial for the well-being of people with dementia and their caregivers. This article explored whether such interventions can be delivered via a touchscreen tablet device displaying art images. METHOD: Twelve pairs of volunteers with dementia and informal caregivers were recruited (N = 24). A quasi-experimental mixed-methods within-subjects […]

Public-private partnerships improve health outcomes in individuals with early stage Alzheimer’s disease
Purpose: In a collaborative effort between the Missouri Department of Health, Area Agencies on Aging (AAA), Alzheimer Association, and academic researchers, we tested whether early dementia detection and comprehensive care consultations would improve health outcomes in care receivers (CRs) and their family caregivers (FCGs), therefore addressing an important public health concern.; Participants and Methods: A […]

Effects of donepezil treatment on platelets α and β secretase activities in Alzheimer’s disease patients
Objective: To explore the effects of donepezil on the activities of platelet α and β secretases in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients.; Methods: During the period of 2007 – 2010, a total of 76 AD patients received either regular treatment alone or in combination with donepezil (5 mg/d) for a 12-week period. And their effects on […]

Impacts of moxibustion on vascular dementia and neuropeptide substance content in cerebral spinal fluid
Objective: To observe the effects of moxibustion therapy on the improvements of clinical symptom scale score and neuropeptide substance in vascular dementia (VD) and investigate a part of mechanism of moxibustion on Vd.; Methods: Eighty-seven cases of VD were divided randomly into a moxibustion group (43 cases) and a western medicine group (44 cases). In […]

A prospective multicenter randomized double-blinded controlled clinical trial on effects of tiantai no.1 in treating mild cognitive impairment
Objective: To observe the clinical effectiveness and safety of Tiantai No. 1 (TT1) in treating mild cognitive impairment (MCI).; Methods: With randomized double-blinded method adopted, the 128 MCI patients, selected according to the commonly accepted standard for MCI diagnosis, were assigned to 2 groups, the treatment group (65 cases) treated with TT1 and the control […]
