Abstract:

Background: A timely diagnosis of dementia can be beneficial for providing good support, treatment, and care, but the diagnostic rate remains unknown and is probably low. Objective: To determine the dementia diagnostic rate and to describe factors associated with diagnosed dementia. Methods: This registry linkage study linked information on research-based study diagnoses of all-cause dementia and subtypes of dementias, Alzheimer’s disease, and related dementias, in 1,525 participants from a cross-sectional population-based study (HUNT4 70+) to dementia registry diagnoses in both primary-care a

Abstract:

AbstractDementia is a global health issue, the burden of which will worsen with an increasingly aging population. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common dementia, with 50 to 60% of all dementias attributable to AD alone, while the rest are mostly due to frontotemporal lobar dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease dementia, and vascular dementia. Diagnosis of dementias is made clinically with the aid of other testing modalities including neuroimaging. While the role of imaging has traditionally been to exclude reversible causes of dementia, positron emission tomography (PE

Abstract:

Dementia means persistent deterioration of intellectual and cognitive functions with little or no impairment of consciousness/awareness or perception. There are several types of dementia, but the most common in everyday practice are: Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies (DLT), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), vascular dementia, and dementia due to hydrocephalus. In 10-15% of cases, dementias are reversible because they arose as a clinical manifestation of some other disease that can be treated and cured. This is particularly important for doctors in primary health care, who should reco

Abstract:

Introduction: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is a disease that encompasses several syndromes that differ in their cognitive, behavioral, language signs, and motor phenomena. Only Alzheimer’s disease causes more early-onset dementia cases than FTD. According to World Health Organization (WHO) projections, dementia rates will double every 20 years and reach 115.4 million people in 2050, ranging from 3% to 26%. The FTD spectrum encompasses three variant syndromes, namely the behavioral variant, the semantic variant, and the non-fluent/agrammatical variant. Frontotemporal lobar degeneration is neur

IntroductionDementia is a common diagnosis in service users seen by Psychiatry of Old Age (POA) Services. This clinical audit was conducted prior to the services engagement with a focus group, which aimed to explore the implementation of the “Appropriate prescribing of psychotropic medication for non-cognitive symptoms in people with dementia” (National Clinical Guideline No. 21) and identify additional resource requirements to be submitted for consideration by the HSE’s estimate process for 2023.ObjectivesIts aims were to evaluate:•The prevalence of service users with a dementia diagnosis amo

Abstract:

Abstract: Apart from Alzheimer’s disease (AD), no biomarkers for the differential diagnosis of dementia have been established to date. Inflammatory processes contribute to the pathogenesis of dementia subtypes, e.g., AD or frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In the context of cancer or cardiovascular diseases, white blood cell (WBC) populations and platelet counts, as well as C-reactive protein (CRP), have emerged as biomarkers. Their clinical relevance in dementia, however, is currently only insufficiently investigated. In the present study, hematological and inflammatory parameters were measured

Abstract:

In this issue of Clinical Science, Biesbroek and colleagues describe recent work on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based cerebral lesion location and its association with cognitive decline. The authors conclude that diagnostic neuroimaging in dementia should shift from whole-brain evaluation to focused quantitative analysis of strategic brain areas. This commentary uses the review of lesion location mapping to discuss broader issues around studies of dementia test strategies. We draw upon work completed by the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group designed to improve design, cond

Abstract:

Objectives: Single photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) studies allow the assessment of cerebral blood flow and have been increasingly used as a clinical tool in neurology and neuropsychiatry. This paper examines the contribution of SPECT to the clinical management of patients with neuropsychiatric disorders, in particular patients with atypical or early onset dementia. Method: All patients admitted to an eight-bed neuropsychiatry unit in a general hospital setting who had undergone SPECT scanning over a 15–month period were reviewed.

Abstract:

Dementia is a condition caused by and associated with separate physical changes in the brain. The signs and symptoms of dementia are very similar across the diverse types, and it is difficult to diagnose the category by behavioral symptoms alone. Diagnostic criteria have relied on a constellation of signs and symptoms, but it is critical to understand the neuroanatomical differences among the dementias for a more precise diagnosis and subsequent management. With this regard, this review aims to explore the neuroanatomical aspects of dementia to better understand the nature of distinctive subty

Background Individuals with cognitive impairment and their families place a high value on receiving a dementia diagnosis, but clinician approaches vary. There is a need for research investigating experiences of giving and receiving dementia diagnoses. The current study aimed to investigate clinician approaches to giving dementia diagnoses as part of a larger study investigating patient, caregiver, and clinician experiences during the diagnosis encounter. Method Investigators conducted telephone interviews with Florida-based clinicians who give dementia diagnoses either rarely or commonly. Inte

ABSTRACT Frontotemporal dementias are classically described as early onset dementias with personality and behavioral changes, however, late onset forms can also be found. Considering the paucity of information about late onset behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia and its challenging diagnosis, we present a case report of an 85-year-old woman with behavioral changes and slow progression to dementia who was first diagnosed as having bipolar disorder and then Alzheimer's disease. The Daphne scale provided a structured means to improve clinical diagnosis, also supported by characteristic fea

Prior studies found that patients with dementia have higher mortality than non-demented counterparts, mostly from non-cancer causes.

Preventing dementia in elderly individuals is an important public health challenge. While early identification and modification of predictors are crucial, predictors of dementia based on routinely collected healthcare data are not fully understood. We aimed to examine potential predictors of dementia diagnosis using routinely collected claims data.

Background:The Dementia Action Plan for Wales (UK), published in 2018, includes aims for improving assessment and diagnosis, as well as suggestions for what might characterise services that provide optimal support. Wales is a largely rural country, a factor shown previously to impede access to services. Suitable support for people living with rarer dementias is also limited, which may be further exacerbated by living in a rural area.
