"TiC-TUG": technology in clinical practice using the instrumented timed up and go test-a scoping review
Aging Clin Exp Res. 2024 Apr 27;36(1):100. doi: 10.1007/s40520-024-02733-7.ABSTRACTDigitized assessments have a considerable potential to guide clinicial decision making and monitor progress and disease trajectories. The Timed Up and Go test (TUG) has been long established for assessment in geriatric medicine and instrumented versions (iTUG) have been developed and validated. This scoping review includes studies that applied the iTUG and aims to identify use cases to show where and how iTUG assessment could guide interventions and clinical management. The literature search was limited to peer-reviewed studies that performe...

"The least significant change on bone mineral density scan increased in patients with higher degrees of obesity"
CONCLUSION: LSC of 0.05 g/cm² could be used in clinical practice in patients with class 2 or 3 obesity. These findings should help to improve the interpretation of BMD scans in these patients and optimize their management.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: Comité de Protection des Personnes Ile-de France VII, France.PMID:38652346 | PMC:PMC11039528 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02736-4 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Commentary on: physical activity and exercise for mild cognitive impairment and dementia: a collaborative international guideline
In conclusion, there is limited evidence on the beneficial role of physical activity and exercise in preserving cognitive functions in subjects with normal cognition, MCI or dementia. The guidelines support the promotion of physical activity based on the beneficial effects on almost all facets of health.PMID:38652380 | PMC:PMC11039492 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02747-1 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Predicting the efficacy of donepezil intervention in Alzheimer's disease patients using regional homogeneity in the inferior orbitofrontal cortex
CONCLUSIONS: These findings deepen our understanding of the brain mechanisms underlying the clinical efficacy of donepezil in AD patients, and provide a novel way to predict its clinical efficacy in such patients.PMID:38630202 | PMC:PMC11024046 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02691-6 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Association of serum uric acid with functional disability in older subjects: a population-based study
CONCLUSIONS: In older subjects, SUA levels are associated with disability; the cut off level above 5.5 mg/dL might be adopted in pharmacological trials aiming at reducing the incidence and progression of disability by reducing SUA, and for identifying subjects at increased risk of disability.PMID:38630352 | PMC:PMC11023951 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-024-02746-2 (Source: Aging Clinical and Experimental Research)

Combining Mini-Mental State Examination and Montreal Cognitive Assessment for assessing the clinical efficacy of cholinesterase inhibitors in mild Alzheimer's disease: a pilot study
Aging Clin Exp Res. 2024 Apr 17;36(1):95. doi: 10.1007/s40520-024-02744-4.ABSTRACTCurrent drugs for Alzheimer's Disease (AD), such as cholinesterase inhibitors (ChEIs), exert only symptomatic activity. Different psychometric tools are needed to assess cognitive and non-cognitive dimensions during pharmacological treatment. In this pilot study, we monitored 33 mild-AD patients treated with ChEIs. Specifically, we evaluated the effects of 6 months (Group 1 = 17 patients) and 9 months (Group 2 = 16 patients) of ChEIs administration on cognition with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (...
