currently prs seems most applicable to estimate risk in lateonset forms of ad 28 64 and has proven useful to stratify patients for clinical trials to reduce variability 65 66 and for genes that show reduced penetrance eg psen2 prs might influence clinical expression as has been shown for other diseases such as hereditary breast cancer

although a few families showed higher risk, this currently seems insufficient to justify clinical action — similar to apoe — until disease-modifying therapies or cost-effective preventive measures become available. as a result, although the prs will likely improve when more variants are added to it, we foresee it will not change this view on its clinical utility in familial eoad in the near future.

a detailed understanding of the formation of toxic aβ oligomers and their effects is essential to develop urgently required new treatments for ad patients. this manuscript describes pharmacological characteristics of the new drug candidate gal-201 as an aβ aggregation modulator based on data from binding experiments, from a rat pharmacokinetic study and from patch clamp and ltp experiments.

in the literature it is widowhood of the patient that is reported as a risk factor of nhp as well as the fact of living alone being cared for by an adult offspring caregiver can be considered as a proxy report of living alone or being widowed and as such our finding is consistent with the literature some evidence suggests that spouses regard caregiving as part of their marital duties whereas for adult children such caregiver tasks require an important change in their lifestyle
[18606052 22759566 26658776 20723154 20374966]
we found the status of “offspring caregiver” to be a risk factor of nhp. the literature reports difficulties in life balance among adult offspring caregivers especially with regards to work workfamily life balance in the group of offspring caregivers the incidence of nhp is however similar independently of the patients marital status

a decrease in the volume of these brain regions in patients with depression may be associated with both a decrease in astrocyte density 8485 and neuronal atrophy 8586 and a decrease in the number and functioning of synapses

atrophy of these brain regions is considered as a significant predictor of the development of clinical dementia consequently, atrophy of the medial pfc and hippocampus may be associated with pre-existing depression and/or with early stages of dementia development.

along with a decrease in astrocytes density, possibly occurring only in the most severe cases of depression, there are data indicating changes in the functioning of astrocytes in patients with mild depression. in the cortex lc and hippocampus transcriptomic analysis revealed a depressionassociated decrease in the expression of astrocytespecific glutamine synthetase and glutamate transporters which are involved in glutamateglutamine cycle between neurons and astrocytes and play an important role in the functioning of synapses

few studies have assessed whether the relationship between tbi and adrd risk differs by sex and the evidence has been mixed this may be because adverse health and psychosocial factors throughout the lifespan moderate the risk of adrd following tbi for example greater exposure to adverse childhood experiences earlier in life has been observed as a risk factor for both tbi and other poor health behaviors and outcomes that interact throughout life to increase adrd risk many of the overlapping adverse psychosocial risk factors for tbi disproportionally affect women whereas sports and occupations two of the biggest risks for tbi differentially impact men in addition women are at greater risk for poorer healthrelated outcomes including adrd even at equivalent levels of these psychosocial risk factors few studies of tbi and dementia have been conducted in lmics where tbi rates are often higher than hics and few resources for treatment are available for example in pakistan domestic violence against women which sometimes results in head trauma is a significant problem in addition poor safety conditions frequent incidents of terrorism and political violence also contribute to the high rates of tbi in pakistan

several measures have been developed to examine neurocognitive function in populations with high rates of illiteracy andor low levels of formal education including the rowland universal dementia assessment scale neuropsi or the figure memory test although additional tools and normative data to be used in diverse cultural and geographical populations are still needed female advantage on verbal memory tests has critical implications for early detection and intervention because clinical tests of cognitive function in older adults often do not consider sex differences thus the verbal advantage for females could lead to a delayed diagnosis of mci compared to males and subsequently to a more rapid rate of deterioration and diagnosis of dementia for females

while newer mechanisms and potential targets for diseasemodifying treatments are being explored there remains an urgent need for novel symptomatic drugs that can reinstate damaged or dysfunctional neurotransmission to provide sustained and clinically meaningful benefits for patients regardless of the outcome of the disease modification strategies

over the last two decades, many of the drug discovery strategies for alzheimer's disease (ad) have focused on disease‐modifying treatments targeting amyloid beta (aβ) pathology. despite extensive research and large numbers of clinical trials these as well as other targeted approaches have generally failed to show clinical benefit in the future it seems probable that multiple therapeutic approaches will be necessary to successfully treat ad

there is evidence that pimavanserin a medication approved for the treatment of parkinsons disease pd psychosis may be effective in treating psychosis in ad and other dementias pimavanserin is novel among antipsychotics as it does not antagonize dopamine receptors as all other available antipsychotics do rather it acts as an inverse agonist primarily at neuronal 5ht2a and to a lesser extent 5ht2c receptors with no appreciable activity at other targets including dopamine receptors this unique binding profile avoids the extrapyramidal side effects such as dystonia tremor and akathisia associated with dopamine blocking antipsychotics although the phenomenology of psychosis is a strictly human construct, a common strategy in the development of novel antipsychotic medications involves screening candidate compounds in preclinical models using behavioral outcomes established in human psychosis that can be observed in animal models.
