Abstract:
The prevalence of dementia is increasing in our aging population at an alarming rate. Because of the heterogeneity of clinical presentation and complexity of disease neuropathology, dementia classifications remain controversial. Recently, the National Plan to address Alzheimer’s Disease prioritized Alzheimer’s disease-related dementias to include: Alzheimer’s disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia, vascular dementia, and mixed dementias. While each of these dementing conditions has their unique pathologic signature, one common etiology shared among all these conditions is cerebrovascular dysfunction at some point during the disease process. The goal of this comprehensive review is to summarize the current findings in the field and address the important contributions of cerebrovascular, physiologic, and cellular alterations to cognitive impairment in these human dementias. Specifically, evidence will be presented in support of small-vessel disease as an underlying neuropathologic hallmark of various dementias, while controversial findings will also be highlighted. Finally, the molecular mechanisms shared among all dementia types including hypoxia, oxidative stress, mitochondrial bioenergetics, neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration, and blood–brain barrier permeability responsible for disease etiology and progression will be discussed.

Abstract:
Dementia costs the UK economy over £26.3 billion a year. Although dementia is a progressive and often terminal condition, people typically survive for many years after diagnosis. People affected by dementia and their families can struggle in understanding the changes that occur in daily living and will often turn to their GPs for support. This article outlines the problems that people with dementia can face and the organisations and other sources of support that can help right from the outset.

Abstract:
Dementia is a progressive and eventually terminal condition, but with early intervention and the right support, people with dementia can continue to enjoy a good quality of life for many years. Living with dementia can be challenging both for those affected and their families as it can affect all aspects of daily life. It is vital that people with dementia and their carers are signposted to the support services that can help them take control of their condition and help them remain active and independent.

Abstract:
No previous comparison of test performance in probable Alzheimer's disease (pAD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) dementia has provided information about potential differences in the dementing process. This study compared the evolution of cognitive changes associated with these dementias. Generalized estimating equations (GEE) applied to regression analyses with repeated measures were used to evaluate cognitive changes over 1 to 3 years prior to the point when dementia was diagnosed in 40 matched pairs of patients with incident pAD and PD dementia. Both groups' performance declined on the Short Blessed, Selective Reminding Test (SRT; total recall, long-term retrieval, and delayed recall), Boston Naming Test, Category Fluency, and Similarities. The decline on naming and SRT delayed recall was more rapid in the PD dementia group, suggesting that these performance deficits emerge earlier in the development of pAD. The PD dementia group performed worse on Category Fluency throughout the follow-up period, suggesting either that dementia is overlaid on this preexisting performance deficit or that this type of executive deficit is an early manifestation of dementia in PD. The pAD group performed more poorly throughout the follow-up period on SRT delayed recognition, consistent with a pAD-specific encoding deficit. We conclude that while pAD and PD dementia are similar in many respects, differences in their evolution support previous observation of unique features in the 2 dementias and suggest different underlying pathologies.

Abstract:
Abstract One in eight older adults in the US has Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia, which are characterized by progressive cognitive and physical declines. The impact of dementia also goes beyond the individual since 92% of persons with dementia receive functional and emotional support from family members and other informal caregivers. The time demands, financial strain, and emotional toll of caregiving are known to cause increased stress and health problems. Therefore, there is a wealth of opportunities to develop new ways to intervene in the progressive loss of function among persons with dementia and ways to support them and their caregivers. Co-sponsored by the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias and Technology and Aging Interest Groups, this symposium addresses innovations in the implementation of new and existing technologies in the dementia care continuum. We will discuss the development and testing of a new mobile application designed to integrate both physical activity and cognitive training. Then we will discuss results from a virtual support group intervention to provide disease education, care planning, and emotional and social support among persons newly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and living alone. Next we will share results from a study using customized voice-assisted technologies to enable individuals with memory impairment to maintain independence and quality of life and reduce caregiver burden. Finally, we will present findings regarding the validity and accuracy of a wearable sensor-based device that measures skin conductivity and heart rate variability to monitor stress level among caregivers of persons with dementia.

Abstract:
Purpose: This research was conducted to identify the effects of providing support programs to families of elderly with dementia on family empowerment and attitudes toward dementia. Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre- and post-test design was used. Participants were 49 family caregivers, experimental (24) and control (25), recruited from families through a dementia support center in Y district. This program implemented Haearim, a support program for family caregivers of demented elders developed by the National Institute of Dementia in 2016. Outcome measures were empowerment and attitudes toward to dementia. Data were analyzed with a ${chi}^2-test$, independent t-test, Fisher's exact probability test, paired t-test, and repeated measures ANOVA with SPSS/PC version 20.0. Results: Family empowerment (F=6.84, p=.002) and family caregivers' attitudes (F=16.48, p<.001) toward dementia in the experimental group improved significantly more than that of the control group after intervention. Conclusion: Results indicate that support programs for families of elderly with dementia are effective in positively changing empowerment and attitudes toward dementia among family caregivers.

Abstract:
Current political drivers are set to increase the volume of people receiving a dementia diagnosis. However, there are problems with how diagnoses are being delivered, with people reporting it to be confusing, anxiety provoking, and being generally dissatisfied. Limited guidance exists that could help improve the delivery and steps are required to address this. Research has begun to explore the components of a good delivery of a diagnosis of dementia, however interventions to support clinicians to deliver diagnoses are limited. This project’s overarching aim was to develop a prototype tool that has future potential to be used by clinicians, patients, and companions who are involved in the delivery of diagnoses of dementia. A two-phase sequential design was undertaken. Phase one explored four Memory Assessment Service (MAS) clinicians’, five patients’, and five companions’ perspectives of what makes a good delivery of a diagnosis of dementia via 10 semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis of this data produced four overarching themes relevant to a good delivery of a diagnosis of dementia: overcoming barriers; navigation of multiple journeys; and completing overt and covert tasks. Two paper based tools were devised from these themes. One tool for service deliverers to support reflective practice and skill development; and the other for service recipients. This contained three elements: an information guide containing an overview of MAS appointments and outcomes, introduction to choices, bringing a relative or friend; a notes sheet which supported consideration of main concerns and choices, provision of space to record answers; and a prompt sheet to use during appointments to prompt question asking, and recording information discussed. Phase two assessed the tool’s acceptability across four focused group discussions with seven service deliverers and six service recipients. Thematic analysis was used to explore the preliminary acceptability of the tools, as perceived by the participants, and guided revisions to improve the design of both tools. Overall feedback was positive and both tools were deemed to be acceptable. The tools were modified to remove the prompt sheet and incorporate the principles into the service deliverer’s guide. Some minor adaptations to improve acceptability of phrasing were also made. This project developed a novel tool for supporting clinical practice in the delivery of dementia diagnoses. It also contributes towards the knowledge of dementia diagnosis and provides an alternative narrative of quality diagnostic delivery, rather than diagnostic volume. The tool uniquely articulates clinicians' experiences of diverse and changing emotional responses to the process of diagnosis delivery and of their management of this to prevent impact on the recipient. It is suggested that by mastering these skills clinicians can facilitate cohesion with, rather than distancing from, the attendee’s emotions. It also highlights barriers to good practice and the management of power within diagnostic appointments, both considered to potentially extend previous guidelines. The next steps are to take the tools into further development work and then to evaluate the tools. This may include completing further focus groups to establish acceptability of the tools and contribute to further development. Formal evaluation of quality and usability could include field testing to assess feasibility.

Abstract:

Aim: The overall aim of the present thesis was to describe and evaluate IT support in dementia care from the perspectives of staff and relatives. More specifically, it was to examine staff members’ satisfaction with work, life satisfaction and sense of coherence before and after increased IT support, to describe staff members’ opinions and perceptions of IT support during the process of implementation, to describe relatives’ opinions of IT support and to compare relatives’ perceptions of their irritations with care and life satisfaction before and after increased IT support. In addition, three questionnaires were further developed and tested among staff working in elderly care, and then used in the staff evaluation. Methods: A quasi-experimental design with baseline assessments and follow-ups and experimental and control groups was used in two studies to investigate the outcomes of IT support. A descriptive design was used to study staff views on IT support, and a correlative design was used in the methodological study. Participants were 33 staff members and 22 relatives in the evaluation, 14 staff members in the descriptive study and 299 staff members in the methodological study. Data collection methods were questionnaires and group interviews. The IT support consisted of passive passage alarms, fall detectors, sensor-activated night-time illumination of the lavatory, movement detectors, email communication, an Internet website and additional computers. Findings and conclusions: Staff job satisfaction and perceived quality of care increased in the experimental group. The relatives were generally positive about the IT support, and the experimental group showed a decrease in practical/logistical irritations. Staff described ‘moving from fear of losing control to perceived increase in control and security’ and ‘constant struggling with insufficient/deficient systems’. Conclusions are that IT support can be a resource in dementia care as perceived by caregivers if IT support is incorporated into the care system.

Abstract:
Dementia is a syndrome caused by a chronic or progressive disease of the brain, which affects memory, orientation, thinking, calculation, learning ability and language. Until recently, early diagnosis of dementia was not a high priority, since the related diseases were considered untreatable and irreversible. 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. Therefore, early diagnosis is becoming more important. The Clock Drawing Test (CDT) and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) are well-known cognitive assessment tests. A known obstacle to the wider usage of the CDT assessments is the scoring and interpretation of the results. This thesis introduces a novel diagnostic Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) based on CDT which can help in the diagnosis of three stages of dementia. It also introduces the advanced methods developed for the interpretation and analysis of CDTs. The data used in this research consist of 604 clock drawings produced by dementia patients and healthy individuals. A comprehensive catalogue of 47 visual features within CDT drawings is proposed to enhance the sensitivity of the CDT in diagnosing the early stages of dementia. These features are selected following a comprehensive analysis of the available data and the most common CDT scoring systems reported in the medical literature. These features are used to build a new digitised dataset necessary for training and validating the proposed CDSS. In this thesis, a novel feature selection method is proposed for the study of CDT feature significance and to define the most important features in diagnosing dementia. iii A new framework is also introduced to analyse the temporal changes in the CDT features corresponding to the progress of dementia over time, and to define the first onset symptoms. The proposed CDSS is designed to differentiate between four cognitive function statuses: (i) normal; (ii) mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia; (iii) moderate or severe dementia; and (vi) functional. This represents a new application of the CDT, as it was previously used only to detect the positive dementia cases. Diagnosing mild cognitive impairment or early stage dementia using CDT as a standalone tool is a very challenging task. To address this, a novel cascade classifier is proposed, which benefits from combining CDT and MMSE to enhance the overall performance of the system. The proposed CDSS diagnoses the CDT drawings and places them into one of three cognitive statuses (normal or functional, mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia, and moderate or severe dementia) with an accuracy of 78.34 %. Moreover, the proposed CDSS can distinguish between the normal and the abnormal cases with accuracy of 89.54 %. The achieved results are good and outperform most of CDT scoring systems in discriminating between normal and abnormal cases as reported in existing literature. Moreover, the system shows a good performance in diagnosing the CDT drawings into one of the three cognitive statuses, even comparing well with the performance of dementia specialists. The research has been granted ethical approval from the South East Wales Research Ethics Committee to employ anonymised copies of clock drawings and copies of Mini Mental State Examination made by patients during their examination by the memory team in Llandough hospital, Cardiff.

Abstract:
Yes
We interviewed people with dementia and carers from the IDEAL cohort to find out how the COVID-19 lockdown and continuing restrictions affected those living with dementia. Some people with dementia coped well, while others coped with difficulty or were only just coping. The additional stress of COVID-19 exacerbated pre-existing coping difficulties. For many, social isolation increased anxiety. Some felt that lack of activity or lack of social contact caused a decline in their abilities to manage everyday tasks. Confusion about COVID-19 rules or difficulty remembering what to do led to anxiety when leaving the house. People felt that members of the public might not understand their particular needs. While some carers felt they were coping well, others experienced stress when having to leave the home because the person with dementia might not be safe if left alone. Some experienced increased strain in the caring relationship compounded by an uncertainty about future availability of respite. Some were concerned about the complex health needs of the person with dementia alongside COVID-19 risk and lack of personalised information. Both people with dementia and carers talked about the importance of access to safe outdoor space. People were anxious about how others would react or behave towards them regarding keeping a distance if they went out. Being connected to friends, family and wider community or support groups was important to help combat the effects of isolation. People from BAME communities worried about their increased vulnerability to the virus. A lack of trust in Government guidance and in health care services added to their anxiety. However, some benefitted from strong community and faith group involvement. What might be helpful for people with dementia? • Reablement to help regain or maintain skills • Personalised health advice regarding managing COVID-19 risk and the opportunity to ask questions. • Identification of people with dementia who live alone and an assessment of their needs. What might be helpful for carers? • Needs assessment in regard to respite. • Novel forms of respite care that incorporate social distancing. What might be helpful for both carers and people with dementia? • Access to COVID-safe outdoor spaces. • Continuation and expansion of ‘just checking’ services. • Support to get online and use the internet. • Communication and information through non-digital means. • Community COVID-19 ‘dementia awareness’ initiatives. What might be helpful for people from Black and minority ethnic groups? • Addressing concerns about their increased risk of COVID-19. • Directing information and support through existing community and faith groups.

Abstract:

 

With this study I wanted to capture the experience of support and increase the knowledge of what it means for women who are living with a husband who suffers from dementia. To do so I conducted four interviews and used an informal questionnaire. The result shows that there are four key words that can symbolize what the women experience as support: communica-tion, freedom, understanding and knowledge. The women’s experience of support range from meaningful and secure to not satisfying and complicated. Living with a husband who suffers from dementia has made their lives very different from before. But even if they sometimes are in a tough situation they want to take care of their husbands. Being able to go away a few hours or half a day once a week, can sometimes be enough and gives the women a sense of satisfaction. On the other hand it is not certain that the support offered is what the women need or that it is satisfactory for the husband. The link between the women’s experience of support and that of their husband is strong. And if the husband is not pleased nor will the wife be.

Abstract:
Social Robotics is becoming more relevant for the healthcare sector as an increasing amount of research and development is invested by researchers and practice. One research area where additional research would help the acceptation and adoption of social robots is intramural care where people with dementia live. The current body of knowledge on this topic can be described as nascent. In this study, we add to the body of knowledge regarding the design and enactment of social robots like the one used in this study, the Tessa robot, with the goal to improve acceptation and adoption of social robots in dementia care. To do so, we conducted a case study at a healthcare organization, featuring semi-structured interviews, observations and talking mats. During this case study, an experiment was carried out in which a Tessa robot was used in intramural care with three clients suffering from dementia. The most important finding of this study is that for the robot to be accepted and effective it must be implemented properly in the existing healthcare processes, otherwise it might serve as a companion, but will not relieve the workload of healthcare workers.

Abstract:
Abstract Artificial Intelligence is driving a revolution in the most diverse domains of computational services and user interaction. Data collected in large quantities is becoming useful for feeding intelligent systems that analyse, learn and provide insights and help decision support systems. Machine learning and the usage of algorithms are of most importance to extract features, reason over collected data so it becomes useful and preventive, exposing discoveries augmenting knowledge about systems and processes. Human driven applications, as those related with physiological assessment and user experience, are possible especially in the health domain and especially in supporting patients and the community. The work hereby described refers to different aspects where the Artificial Intelligence can help citizens and wraps a series devices and services that where developed and tested for the benefit of a special kind of citizens. The target population are those under some kind of Dementia, but the proposed solutions are also applicable to other elder citizens or even children that need to be assisted and prevented from risks.

Abstract:
Background: In the last 10 months, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, several studies have demonstrated the viability of health education and virtual support strategies for caregivers of dementia patients to provide home care. Low and middle-income countries in particular, have sought to use these approaches to reduce the daily burden of caregivers, through virtual meetings providing education and support. Objectives: To present the feasibility of a pilot study on the use of a care support action under the CAAD Project - indirect costs of dementia – run by the HC-FMUSP. Methods: An observational study of 93 caregivers invited to participate in virtual 1-hour meetings three times a week was conducted. Results: Of the 93 family members who took part, 42 answered the eight questions about the effectiveness of the action after 3 months. The rate of positive responses for program satisfaction was high, ranging from 86% to 100%. Conclusion: The study results of this simple intervention suggest the utility of the program for caregivers of dementia patients in primary care. The intervention can provide a better understanding of difficulties faced by caregivers in their daily care of dementia patients and daily management guidance on a case-by-case basis. The program also promoted the implementation of an education strategy on the importance of understanding and recognizing anatomical-physiological changes in the aging process and their implications for the invisible line between senescence and senility. This process empowers the caregiver to feel able to protect both the patient and themselves by preventing the emergence of common diseases in this age group. Further studies are needed to explore this non-pharmacological support approach.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: What is the current status of implementation of interventional programs on early functional rehabilitation during acute, hospital-based medical care, specifically tailored for older patients with CI and what are the most appropriate programs or program components to support early rehab in this specific population? This study combines a systematic umbrella review with a scoping review. While an umbrella review synthesizes knowledge by summarizing existing review papers, a scoping review aims to provide an overview of an emerging area, extracting concepts and identify the gaps in knowledge. The study focuses on older hospitalized adults (>65 yrs.) receiving ward based early rehabilitation. The focus within this review is on study participants with cognitive impairment or dementia. The study targets at controlled trials independent of their randomization procedure reporting on an early functional rehabilitation during hospitalization. Trials that were conducted in different or mixed settings (e.g. inpatient and aftercare intervention) without a clear focus on hospital based rehabilitation were excluded. The study aim is to identify the presence of CI specific features for early rehabilitation including: CI/dementia assessment, sub-analysis of results according to cognitive status, sample description defined by cognitive impairment, program modules specific for geriatric patients CI.
