Abstract:
Abstract. Dementia is characterized by a decline in memory, language, problem-solving and in other cognitive domains that affect a person’s ability to perform everyday activities and social functioning. It is consistently agreed that cognitive impairment is an important risk factor for developing functional disabilities in patients with dementia. Functional status can be conceptualized as the ability to perform self-care, self- maintenance and physical activity. A person with dementia usually requires help with more complex tasks, such as managing bills and finances, or simply maintaining a household. Good functional performance is fundamental for elderly people to maintain independency and avoid institutionalization. The purpose of this review is to describe functional changes in demented patients, evaluating the variability in subgroups of dementias.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTDementia raises many ethical issues. The present review, taking note of the fact that the stages of dementia raise distinct ethical issues, focuses on three issues associated with stages of dementia's progression: (1) how the emergence of preclinical and asymptomatic but at-risk categories for dementia creates complex questions about preventive measures, risk disclosure, and protection from stigma and discrimination; (2) how despite efforts at dementia prevention, important research continues to investigate ways to alleviate clinical dementia's symptoms, and requires additional human subjects protections to ethically enroll persons with dementia; and (3) how in spite of research and prevention efforts, persons continue to need to live with dementia. This review highlights two major themes. First is how expanding the boundaries of dementias such as Alzheimer's to include asymptomatic but at-risk persons generate new ethical questions. One promising way to address these questions is to take an integrated approach to dementia ethics, which can include incorporating ethics-related data collection into the design of a dementia research study itself. Second is the interdisciplinary nature of ethical questions related to dementia, from health policy questions about insurance coverage for long-term care to political questions about voting, driving, and other civic rights and privileges to economic questions about balancing an employer's right to a safe and productive workforce with an employee's rights to avoid discrimination on the basis of their dementia risk. The review highlights these themes and emerging ethical issues in dementia.

Abstract:
Treatment of dementia costs billions of dollars in long-term care and community services every year. Dementia also burdens the acute care system and may contribute to financial problems for hospitals serving large numbers of demented elderly. In a specialized geriatric medical unit devoted to acute care of the frail elderly, Alzheimer's disease and vascular and mixed dementias afflicted 63% of inpatients and were associated with excess consumption of nursing resources, complications of treatment, nosocomial infections, lengthy hospitalizations, and financial losses to the hospital. Due in part to the effects of dementia on mobility, continence, and nutrition, demented patients suffered more frequently from life-threatening infections, sepsis, iatrogenic disease, and prolonged hospital stays. Hospital losses were 75% higher for demented patients than for nondemented patients.Dementia affected the majority of acute care patients in this study. However, it was rarely coded as an admitting diagnosis, even though it may have been the proximate cause of the medical morbidity which led to the acute hospitalization. In addition, despite the significant impact of dementia on the hospital course and costs, it was a factor in hospital reimbursement in less than one third of cases. The results indicate that dementia was not considered to be an acute diagnosis, nor was it recognized as a complex medical illness. The impact of dementia on acute hospitalization, including the mechanisms by which dementia prolongs the hospital stay, requires further investigation.

Abstract.MINDFULNESS AND NEUROCOGNITIVE REHABILITATION.Nowadays approximately fifty million persons are suffering from dementia throughout the world according to the latest statistics of the European Commission (2016). Moreover, every year new 7.7 million instances of this disease are detected. At this moment, Alzheimer’s disease would be the most common mental disorder in terms of world population health, in other words, this disease can signify 70% of all dementia. Even now pharmacological treatments are ineffective. Consequently, utilization of non pharmacological therapies is opening a wide range of possibilities aimed to increase prevention and, at the same time, improvement in living standards of careers and relatives of patients with dementia who are usually overburdened. This presentation contains a review about researches on mindfulness (MF) and its implementation like potentially strategies aimed to treat this disorder.Keywords: Dementias, Mindfulness, Neuroimagen, meta-analysis.Resumen.Los últimos datos aportados por la Comisión Europea señalan que la demencia afecta actualmente a casi cincuenta millones de personas en todo el mundo y que cada año se detectan 7.7 millones de nuevos casos. A día de hoy, el Alzheimer es la demencia más padecida por la población mundial pudiendo constituir en términos relativos el 70% de las demencias. En la actualidad no existen tratamientos farmacológicos que den una respuesta definitiva a este tipo de patologías. Las utilizaciones de terapias no farmacológicas abren un amplio abanico de posibilidades desde el ámbito de la prevención, y de la mejora de la calidad de vida en cuidadores y familiares de enfermos con demencia, básicamente con sintomatología de “sobrecarga”. En este articulo hacemos una revisión sobre investigaciones relacionadas con la “atención plena” ( MF) y de su implementación como estrategias potenciales en el abordaje de este tipo de patologías. Los últimos trabajos aportados con técnicas morfométricas por neuroimagen constituyen un importante avance a la hora de intentar aportar evidencia científica en este campo.Palabras clave: Demencias, Mindfulness, Neuroimagen, Meta-análisis, Rehabilitación.

Abstract:
Background: Previous studies of dementia and family caregiving have focused on individuals seeking diagnosis and treatment, and have rarely been conducted in representative community samples. Identifying demented individuals participating in a community survey, we determined (a) the factors associated with demented elderly living alone; (b) the factors associated with the demented elderly having caregivers; (c) the factors associated with increased levels of burden among caregivers of persons with dementia. Population and Methods: During an epidemiological survey of a mostly rural U.S. community, the authors identified 116 noninstitutionalized elderly individuals with dementia. These individuals were classified into those living alone and those living with others; both groups were further classified into those with an without identifiable family caregivers. Characteristics of both caregivers and care recipients were examined. Results: Approximately a third of the subjects with dementia lived alone, and only half of them had caregivers. The average age of the caregivers was 67.4 years, and 73% of them were women. Almost half of the caregivers were spouses, whereas almost a third were offspring, of the demented individuals. Over two thirds of caregivers lived with the subjects. Female caregivers were significantly younger than male caregivers. Multivariate analyses revealed that subjects with dementia who were living alone were independently and significantly more likely to be women and to have dementias of shorter duration, lesser severity, and lesser functional impairment than those living with others. Demented subjects with caregivers were more likely to have greater dementia severity, functional impairment, and cognitive impairment and more current cognitive and behavioral symptoms than those without caregivers. Demented subjects whose caregivers reported higher levels of burden were more likely to be women and to have greater dementia severity, functional impairment, and cognitive impairment and more current symptoms than those whose caregivers had no/minimal burden. Conclusions: These results draw attention to the problems of persons with dementia living alone, particularly those without caregivers. Our data also provide epidemiological confirmation of previous clinical/volunteer studies of dementia caregiving, as well as a preliminary assessment of need in the community at large. Living arrangements and caregiver issues should be taken into account when planning services for the elderly.

Abstract:
“Impresiones en azul” se corresponde con el nombre genérico de varios talleres dentro de un programa de educación artística para personas con demencia temprana, realizados en el Centro de Referencia Estatal de Atención a Personas con Enfermedad de Alzheimer y otras Demencias, de Salamanca, dependiente del IMSERSO. El objetivo de este programa era evaluar si la implementación de actividades artísticas podía ser una estrategia eficaz para promover el bienestar y las capacidades psicosociales, cognitivas y de comunicación de las personas con demencia temprana y, en consecuencia, una manera de mejorar los sistemas de cuidado de los mayores con principios de demencia. Estos talleres consistieron en el desarrollo de una sencilla técnica fotográfica, combinada con nuevas tecnologías. La investigación psicosocial cualitativa fue la metodología utilizada, prevista en tres fases: diseño de las actividades, desarrollo y seguimiento de los mismos y análisis de las producciones artísticas de los asistentes. Las conclusiones a las que se han llegado se pueden resumir en las siguientes: la demencia no ha supuesto problema alguno para el desarrollo de los talleres, el interés demostrado por los pacientes ha sido significativo, obteniendo resultados positivos en relación con su bienestar psicosocial, se ha experimentado un incremento de la comunicación entre los asistentes, tanto en sus relaciones interpersonales, como en su proyección al exterior y, por último, merece la pena destacar los modelos que pueden ser desarrollados en el cuidado de las personas con demencia temprana.“Impressions in blue” is the generic name given to several workshops belonging to an Art Education program targeted to people with early dementia, carried out in the State Centre for the Attention to People with Alzheimer Disease and other Dementias, in Salamanca, dependent on the IMSERSO. The aim of this program was assessing if the implementation of artistic activities could be an efficient strategy for promoting wellbeing and psychosocial, cognitive and communication capacities in people with early dementias and, therefore, improve the caring systems for the elderly with early dementias. These workshops consisted on the development of a simple photographic technique, combined with new technologies. The psychosocial qualitative research was the chosen methodology and was organised in three phases: activities design, development, follow-up and analysis of the artistic productions done by the participants. The conclusions drawn can be outlined as follows: Dementia didn’t cause any problem while developing the workshops; the interest shown by the participants was remarkable, obtaining positive reactions in regard to their psycho-social wellbeing; it was observed an increase in communication amongst the participants, not only in their personal relationships but also in their contact with the outside; lastly, it is worth highlighting the models that can be developed in the early dementia care.

Abstract:
Background: Most cases of dementia are due to Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia, but attention on these disorders means that other important causes of dementia may be relatively neglected. About 10–15% of people with dementia have other diagnoses, and there are numerous causes of the less common types of dementia. Aims: This paper provides information about the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and nursing management of some of the different types of less common dementias, with the aim of helping nurses to provide better care to patients and families affected. Methods: This is one of two connected papers and provides a narrative review of the literature on the clinical presentation of frontotemporal dementia, HIV dementia, prion dementias and alcohol-related dementia. Findings: Frontotemporal dementia has important clinical subtypes with distinct different presentations; for example, predominantly behavioural symptoms or progressive language dysfunction. Alcohol-related dementia is one of several types of alcohol-related brain damage. This is important as, with abstinence, its progression may be halted or even to some extent improved. HIV dementia has become less common since the introduction of effective antiretroviral therapy, but, nonetheless, the less severe picture of HIV-associated cognitive dysfunction remains prevalent despite treatment. Prion dementias encompass sporadic, familial and acquired Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and are incurable, therefore requiring extensive palliative care. Conclusions: These forms of dementia all have different symptoms and courses from common types of dementia, such as Alzheimer's disease. It is important for nurses to be aware that dementia may have several causes and that people with different dementias will have different needs. Nonetheless, the general skills of nurses in supporting patients and families remain essential in order to develop appropriate care plans and to provide individualised, person-centred care.

Abstract:
When patients present with a dementia syndrome at a young age, the experienced clinician will automatically include uncommon dementias in the diagnostic considerations, as familial uncommon dementias due to genetic mutations frequently present as early-onset dementias. This paper highlights why uncommon dementias due to genetic mutations, although marginal in terms of prevalence numbers in the total population, are of significance in the quest to unravel the underlying cause of common dementias such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), frontotemporal dementias (FTD) and vascular dementia (VaD).

Full text
Abstract:
How are we to understand dementia? The main argument involves an analysis (in Chapter 2) of intentional mental states, using Wittgenstein's discussion of rule-following, which suggests that such states demonstrate an irreducible, transcendental normativity. This externalist account of intentional mental states highlights the worldly embedding of practices. In Chapters 3,4 and 5, this analysis is applied respectively to the disease, cognitive neuropsychology and social constructionist models of dementia. Whilst clinically and scientifically useful, none generates an adequate account of normativity. The Wittgensteinian analysis supplies a constitutive (as opposed to causal) account that supports the notion of dementia-in-the-world (Chapter 6). A full understanding of dementia requires the human-person-perspective in order to accommodate all that dementia amounts to in the normatively-constrained world. The sub-plot considers our understanding of the person. Rather than the Locke-Parfit view, which stresses psychological continuity, the Wittgensteinian analysis supports the situated-embodied-agent view of the person (Chapters I and 6). This view and the notion of the human-person-perspective are mutually supportive, so that main and subplot both encourage a broader understanding. The works of Wittgenstein have acted as a primary source, with secondary literature commenting on his works. In discussing the models of dementia, I have cited primary sources. I have also considered philosophical works pertinent to the particular models, usually in connection with the mind-brain problem. The thesis concludes that there is no single way to understand dementia, but any understanding will be from the human-person-perspective, in accord with the situated-embodied-agent view and reflecting an externalist construal of intentional psychological states. This has implications for further research in philosophy, medical ethics and gerontology. The unique application of the Wittgensteinian philosophical analysis to clinical reality suggests an approach to people with dementia that stresses personhood in the context of embedded, embodied histories and continuing relationships with others.

Abstract:

Although the population of adults age 65 and older with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias is growing exponentially, many dental professionals are not adequately prepared to work with these special needs patients in the clinical setting. The purpose of this project was to develop a training for dental professionals including basics about dementia, and communication and behavioral management. Personal oral hygiene, often lacking in a person with dementia, contributes to periodontal inflammation and oral infection that may be linked to potentially, life-threatening diseases, including cardiovascular disease, and aspiration pneumonia. This could result in poor quality of life, and hospital or nursing home admission. The training will help dental professionals to better provide preventive or maintenance dental care or assist in providing care. The training will meet a portion of the continuing education biennial course requirements and course provider requirements for license renewal of dental professionals in California. The training was presented to dental professionals. Their feedback, as well as suggestions from an expert panel, informed revisions to the training, such as increasing the length of the training and including “brain breaks” in the presentation.

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University
Background: Dementia is a chronic, irreversible condition that currently affects millions of Americans. With increasing life expectancies and an aging population, it is predicted that this number will triple within the next fifty years, possibly affecting 16 million Americans by 2050. The majority of care for these patients is provided by informal caregivers, usually their spouses or children. However, studies have shown that most informal caregivers feel they need more information about the disorder and the services available to help them, as well as on how to effectively care for their family member. Caring for a dementia patient is more stressful and burdensome than caring for someone who is solely physically impaired. Dementia caregivers experience higher rates of anxiety and depression, less time for personal activities, and greater difficulties maintaining jobs. Thus, interventions that provide caregivers with support and train them to properly care for dementia patients can be beneficial for both the patients and their families by reducing the adverse effects caregiving has on the caregiver’s mental and physical health while also improving the patient’s quality of care. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Dementia Care Coordination intervention on dementia patients and their caregivers. This study will determine whether the intervention improves the qualities of life of patients and caregivers, lowering their depression and hospitalization rates while also reducing caregivers’ levels of burden, distress, and anxiety.

Abstract:
The portfolio thesis is divided into three parts: Part one is a systematic literature review exploring the relationship between self and staff-proxy assessments of quality of life in dementia. The review aimed to provide an exploration into the relationship between ratings made between self and staff-proxy rating as well as the factors that may explain or predict any differences between ratings. A systematic search of four databases identified 12 relevant studies. The findings of the studies are analysed using narrative synthesis and forest plots. Results are discussed in relation to clinical practices and research. Part two is an empirical paper that explores the subjective understandings and lived experiences of Old Age Psychiatrists in relation to positive wellbeing in dementia. Qualitative data was collected using semi-structured interviews and analysed using Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Eleven psychiatrists from three NHS Trusts participated in the research. Three super-ordinate themes and nine sub-ordinate themes emerged from the data. These themes are discussed in relation to the wider literature base. Part three comprises the appendices supporting the systematic literature review and empirical paper. It also includes a reflective statement of the primary researcher’s experiences of the research process.

Abstract:
This study explores the issues raised for people with dementia and their carers when they receive a diagnosis of dementia. Previous research suggests that more people with dementia than other serious illnesses such as cancer will not be told their diagnosis. The implications of this for the way that people with dementia adjust psychologically to their situation are reviewed. It is suggested that the complex illness concept and the particular nature of dementia as an illness influence communication about it The research had three groups of participants. Twenty-six people caring for a relative with dementia completed a short survey. Two people with dementia and seven people caring for someone with dementia were interviewed face-to-face to gather in-depth information about their experiences of receiving and coping with a diagnosis. Grounded theory was used to analyse the interviews and a descriptive summary of the survey was produced. The survey confirmed that many people with dementia do not get told their diagnosis. The interviews described the issues raised for people with dementia, such as the feelings raised for them by having dementia and highlighted their ways of coping with dementia. The interviews with carers suggested that if sharing was an issue, the carers tried to strike a balance between remaining honest and protecting the person from the implications of the knowledge. Maintaining a sense of hope for the person seemed to be very important. A critical discussion of the methodology is presented. The implications for future research and the clinical relevance of the research are also discussed.

Abstract:
Background: Positrons emission tomography associated with computed tomography- PET/CT using the 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose is a well-established exam for the medical evaluation of dementia, mainly helping in differential diagnosis to determine the specific type of dementia. Objectives: To describe the role of the PET/CT in the differential diagnosis of dementia in patients. Methods: a single-center, descriptive and records-based analysis of patients with Dementia evaluated in a clinic of Neurology at Recife and referred to PET/ CT due to diagnosis uncertainty, between 2020-2021. Results: 29 patients were included. The mean age was 65 years-old and 62% were female. Alzheimer’s dementia was the main diagnostic hypothesis (41.3%). PET/CT was suggestive of Alzheimer’s in 24%, Frontotemporal dementia in 21% and Lewy Bodies Dementia in 17% of patients. PET/CT results disagreed from clinical hypothesis in 21% o and in 10% it was inconclusive. In 38% it corroborated the clinical suspicion. Conclusions: in this sample the use of PET/CT FDG contributed to improve diagnostic accuracy in a significant subset of patients, mostly in the scenery of diagnostic uncertainty or atypical syndromes such as earlyonset dementias. A larger sample size and the continuation of this research will give us more information in the near future.

Abstract:
Background: dementia is a syndrome characterized by the presence of a progressive deficit in cognitive function, with interference in social and occupational activities, with risk factors varying with genetic and environmental stressors. The differential diagnosis must identify potentially reversible conditions, of different etiologies, such as metabolic changes, intoxications, and nutritional deficiencies. In primary degenerative dementias and sequelae forms, the etiological diagnosis carries therapeutic and prognostic implications. Objectives: to analyse the current epidemiological profile of dementia in the state of São Paulo in the last 5 years. Methods: a literature review was carried out based on articles available in the Scielo and PubMed database and an observational, descriptive and cross- sectional collection of epidemiological data on dementias available in DATASUS – SUS Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) – in the last 5 years – January 2016 to December 2020 – assessing the number of hospitalizations, the amount of public spending, mortality rate and permanence. Results: in the analyzed period, 3.105 hospitalizations were observed due to occurrences related to dementia, representing a total expenditure of R$37.847.961,13, with 2017 being the year with the highest number of hospitalizations and responsible for the highest amount spent. The total mortality rate in the 5 years studied was 5,57, corresponding to 173 deaths, with 2020 being the year with the highest rate while 2017 had the lowest rate. The average of the permanence in the hospital was 180 days. Conclusion: patients with dementia need early diagnosis and procedures to reduce the rate of hospitalizations and mortality, as well as public costs. For this, technological innovations, using structural and functional neuroimaging methods, as well as biology and molecular genetics techniques, have presented perspectives for the early diagnosis of dementia.

Abstract:
Introduction:The lack of engagement and the shortage of motivation and drive, also referred to as apathy, negatively impacts the effectiveness and adherence to treatment and the general well-being of people with neurocognitive disorders (NCDs), such as dementia. Methodology:The hypothesis raised states that the engagement of people with dementia during their non-invasive treatments for NCDs is affected by the noisy source levels and negative auditory stimuli present within environmental treatment settings. An online survey was conducted with the study objectives to assess 1) the engagement levels of dementia patients while interacting with others at home versus in therapy facilities, 2) the emotions perceived when interacting with people at home compared to therapy sessions, 3) the perceived loudness of the environment at home versus in therapy facilities, and 4) which source sounds negatively impact the patients at home and during therapy sessions. A purposive sampling (n=62) targeting relatives, friends, and caregivers of dementia patients was conducted via online community forums in the DACH region. Moreover, a recording session was conducted in a psychotherapist’s office to verify the answer tothe questionnaire on the noise sources perceived in therapy facilities. Results and Discussion:The raised hypothesis that disruptive auditory stimuli and noise levels influence the engagement levels of demented individuals during treatment is confirmed as the engagement is affected by the perceived noise disruptions when comparing perceived noise levels and engagement at home to those in treatment facilities.Significant statistical results were found between the lower engagement of demented individuals when interacting with people during therapy sessions compared to higher engagement in-home interactions. Furthermore, negatively perceived sound sources can be found in both therapy facilities and home settings. The noise sound sources identified, such as human voices, household appliances and household noises, while recording inthe psychotherapist’s office align with the questionnaire responses received on this topic. The findings indicate that the perceived heightened noise levels in therapy facilities stand in correlation with the lowered engagement rate perceived during the therapy session compared to the lower noise level and higher engagement encountered when demented individuals interact at home. Conclusion:If the identified noise elements are masked or replaced by other auditory stimuli that promote a soothing soundscape, the original disturbances encountered during therapy and the lack of engagement can possibly be minimized. Further studies need to be conducted in the prototyping of a noise intervention tool to analyze the impact on lack of engagement through noise disturbances.Keywords. Noise, Engagement, Dementia, Therapy, Apathy.INTRODUCTIONNeurocognitive disorders (NCDs) are a steadily rising global public health concern. In 2020, around 50 million people worldwide lived with major NCDs, specifically dementia, with nearly 10 million new cases per year1NCDs can be found in many diseases, including Alzheimer, Parkinson, Huntington, and Creutzfeldt-Jakob (Reith, 2018). The causes of NCDs are typically associated with advanced age. Still, it can occur from incidents such as traumatic brain injuries, infections, thyroid problems, damage to the blood vessels, and other causes (Kane et al., 2017), increasingly affecting a wide range of people and age groups. Successful treatment methods are limited and can be split into two main categories, invasive and non-invasive methods.Invasive treatment methods are surgical procedures, such as Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), a neurosurgical procedure in which a neurotransmitter is placed in the brain to send electrical 1World Health Organization, Dementia [website] https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/dementia(accessed 12 April 2021)

Abstract:
Introduction: Population aging has been considered the main risk factor for the development of dementia globally. In low- and middle-income countries such as Brazil, the projections are for expressive numbers due to poor socioeconomic conditions. However, the epidemiological profile of dementias in Brazil is still little known due to the scarcity of studies, especially in the northeast of the country, where poverty and illiteracy are severe. Design: Retrospective and descriptive study of data obtained from a comprehensive review of medical records. Methods: Records of cases treated between 2018 and 2021 were examined, cases that did not have information in the medical record were excluded from the study. Results: 128 medical records were analyzed, 109 of which met inclusion criteria. 57.8% of patients were male with a mean age of 65.3 years. 38.4% of the sample had less than 8 years of formal education and 15.1% were illiterate. Unskilled manual labor was the occupation type in 50% of the sample. The mean baseline Mini-Mental State Examination score was 16.88. Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) was the most frequent diagnosis (37%) mostly in a moderate (22%) to advanced stage (20%) of dementia. 32% of all cases met criteria for mixed forms of Dementia. Frontotemporal Dementia (14%), Lewy Body’s Disease (6%) and Pure Vascular Dementia (6%) were also reported. 69.7% of our sample underwent magnetic resonance imaging and 24% also had access to molecular imaging methods. Conclusion: The degree of dementia of the examined cases caught our attention, most of them in a moderate or advanced stage, probably related to the time patients wait for care at a specialized center. Such bias may also explain the high frequency of non-AD pathologies in the sample, in contrast to data from the general population. With the limitation of its descriptive and retrospective design, the present study represents an important initiative towards characterizing data of Dementia in northeastern Brazil.

Abstract:
We present ``Together about Dementia'', a mobile health app that aims to help persons with dementia when they get lost through the help of caregivers, relatives, and volunteering citizens. When the app detects that a person with dementia is disoriented, wandering, and getting lost, it triggers an alarm that activates a relative and possibly a volunteer in the proximity. A backend system based on a microservice and serverless architecture performs the detection of wandering and the subsequent coordination of users that are put on a mission to the rescue of the person with dementia. The backend system implements an AI technique for spatio-temporal anomaly detection based on location data recorded by the frontend system installed on the portable device of the person with dementia.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The efficacy and safety of butylphthalide combined with donepezil in the treatment of vascular dementia: Ameta-analysis. Condition being studied: Vascular dementia is the second most common cause of dementia and a major health concern worldwide, only after to Alzheimer's disease. As the increasing aging of the global population, the number of vascular dementia patients is expected to increase year by year, which will bring great economic burden to all countries in the world. In recent years, more and more published RCT studies have shown that butylphthalide can further improve behavioral ability and dementia symptoms in vascular dementia patients based on donepezil treatment. Our study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of butylphthalide combined with donepezil in the treatment of vascular dementia through meta-analysis, providing an objective and scientific reference for the clinical use of butylphthalide.

Review question / Objective: How does the efficacy of Intranasal Insulin in improving Cognition in Mild Cognitive Impairment or Dementia. Condition being studied: Insulin regulates many aspects of brain function related to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or dementia, which can be delivered to the brain center via intranasal (IN) devices. Some small, single-site studies indicated that intranasal insulin can enhance memory in patients with MCI or dementia. The pathophysiology of Alzheimer disease (AD) and diabetes mellitus (DM) overlap, making insulin an attractive therapy for people suffering from MCI or dementia. The goal of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of IN insulin on cognition in patients with MCI or dementia.

Abstract:
Dementia is an illness with complex health needs, varying between individuals and increasing in severity over time. Approaches to use technology to aid people with dementia are often designed for a specific environment and/or purpose, such as the RadioMe system, a system designed to detect agitation in people with mild dementia living in their own home and calming them with music when agitation is detected. Both the monitoring and intervention components could potentially be beneficially used outside of the own home to aid people with dementia and carers in everyday life. But the adaptation could put additional burdens on the carer, as many decisions and the handling of the data and software could rely on their input. In this paper we discuss thoughts on the potential role of the carer for adaptations of specified system’s expansion to a larger ecosystem on the example of RadioMe.

Abstract:
This Evidence Check review, commissioned by Dementia Training Australia, aimed to identify existing education and training standards frameworks that may be used to support development of a national standards framework for education and training of the dementia workforce in Australia. The report identified thirteen frameworks and key elements which would be relevant and useful to development and implementation of a framework in the Australian context. Three frameworks (from Northern Ireland, the UK and Scotland) were identified for use as a starting point and as most adaptable to the Australian context. Based on analysis of the various frameworks the authors make a series of recommendations for an Australian framework and identify gaps to be addressed.
