Background: There has been a rise in dementia awareness, with policy changes leading to increased diagnosis rates. However, the stigma of dementia is likely to cause challenges in diagnostic communication. This is complicated by the effect of dementia on cognitive functioning. The aims of this study were to (1) identify how diagnoses of dementia are communicated, (2) identify how people with dementia respond to the diagnosis, and (3) explore doctors’ perspectives on dementia diagnosis delivery. Methodology: A systematic literature review was conducted. Twenty doctors from 9 memory clinics acro

This study examined differences in scoring patterns among those diagnosed with Alzheimer's dementia and vascular dementia on the clock-drawing test. Archival clock drawing data was retrieved on 279 patients presenting at a county hospital-based memory clinic. Analysis of drawings was based on frequency of qualitative errors, as well as an overall quantitative score. Mean comparisons found those patients with Alzheimer's dementia to perform worse on both quantitative and qualitative scoring measures.

Dementia is a syndrome of illnesses resulting in cognitive decline, severely impacting the lives of those afflicted as well as their loved ones. The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, with roughly 10 million new cases each year. In this study we examine different machine learning models and approaches aimed to aid healthcare professionals in early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, potentially automating parts of the diagnostic process. We evaluate our models on the Pitt corpus of the Dementia Bank dataset, using 10-fold cross validation. We compare the BERT and RoBERTa transf

[Truncated abstract] Background: Dementia, largely due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), is a major public health problem. The early identification of disease is an important challenge for clinicians because treatment of AD is now available. A simple and accurate means of stratifying risk for AD and identifying early disease is needed so that risk factor modification and treatment can occur optimally. To date, despite many attempts, an accurate means of standardising an approach to the assessment of subtle cognitive symptoms has not been developed.

The concept of subcortical dementia predicts higher rates of depressive symptomatology in dementia syndromes with predominant subcortical pathology.

However, more effective treatments are becoming available, which can slow the progress of dementia if they are used in the early stages of the disease.
