SED by AD is a type of advance directive in which a proxy is instructed to stop offering food and fluids ...
To investigate the effects of mold-fermented cheese (MFC) on brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in community-dwelling older Japanese women with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
To compare the accumulation of hospital days, a proposed proxy for overall drug safety, between antipsychotic initiators and noninitiators with Alzheimer's disease (AD).
To determine whether the trajectory of preclinical lap time variability from a 400-m walk differentiates participants with future mild cognitive impairment (MCI)/Alzheimer's disease (AD) from matched controls.
Early diagnosis of cognitive impairment is increasingly emphasized in the literature to facilitate timely preventive interventions. Although bedside cognitive tests such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) are widely used for such early diagnostic purposes, they may not have comparable performance ...
Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) have been recognized to increase the risk of dementia among individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, it is unclear whether the risk is shared across the various NPS or driven primarily by selected few symptoms. This study sought to provide confirmatory evid...
While various short variants of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) have been developed, they have not been compared among each other to determine the most optimal variant for routine use. This study evaluated the comparative performance of the short variants in identifying mild cognitive impairment o...
To investigate whether depression and/or antidepressants can be a potential risk factor for the development of dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
