Early versus late MCI: Improved MCI staging using a neuropsychological approach
ConclusionsOur novel neuropsychological approach improved the staging of MCI by (1) capturing individuals at an early symptomatic stage, (2) minimizing false-positive cases, and (3) identifying a late MCI group further along the disease trajectory.

Longitudinal study of hearing loss and subjective cognitive function decline in men
We examined the relation between self-reported hearing loss, hearing aid use, and risk of subjective cognitive function (SCF) decline.MethodsWe conducted an 8-year (2008–2016) longitudinal study of 10,107 men aged ≥62 years who reported their hearing status in 2006 and had no subjective cognitive concerns in 2008. Change in SCF scores was assessed by a 6-item questionnaire, and subjective decline was defined as new report of at least one SCF concern during follow-up.ResultsHearing loss was associated with higher risk of SCF decline. Compared with no hearing loss, the multivariable-adjusted relative risk (95% CI) of in...

Genetic screen in a large series of patients with primary progressive aphasia
DiscussionOur results show that while pathogenic variants within the most common dementia genes were rarely associated with PPA, these were found almost exclusively in GRN and C9orf72, suggesting that PPA is more TDP43- than tau-related in our series. This is consistent with the finding that PPA frequency in dominantly inherited dementias is the highest in kindreds with GRN variants.

Predicting diagnosis and cognition with 18F-AV-1451 tau PET and structural MRI in Alzheimer's disease
DiscussionOptimized tau PET classifiers may diagnose AD with high accuracy, but both tau PET and structural brain MRI capture partly unique information relevant for the clinical deterioration in AD. (Source: Alzheimer's and Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association)
