Clinical Features of Patients with Alzheimer ’s Disease and a History of Traumatic Brain Injury
Conclusion: Our results underscore previous findings on the vulnerability of the brain during critical maturation phases and suggest that an early TBI may contribute to lower resilience to neurodegenerative changes.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2022;12:122 –130 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Nurses ’ Pain Assessment Practices for Cognitively Intact and Impaired Older Adults in Intensive Care Units
Conclusion: Our study results showed that the majority of participant nurses felt that the use of pain assessment tools for cognitively intact and impaired older adult ICU patients to self-report is somewhat not at all important. This study also reported that nurses perceived themselves as the individuals who accurately rate the pain in cognitively intact patients, followed by the patients themselves.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2022;12:115 –121 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Brain Morphometric Correlates of Depressive Symptoms among Patients with and without Dementia
Conclusion: We confirm the previous findings of structural brain changes in temporal regions among patients with dementia and concomitant depressive symptoms. This may contribute to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying depression in dementia. To the best of our knowledge, this is the largest study conducted on this topic to date.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2022;12:107 –114 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

The Effect of the Ketogenic Diet on the Therapy of Neurodegenerative Diseases and Its Impact on Improving Cognitive Functions
The ketogenic diet (KD) is a high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet with controlled amounts of protein. The use of drastic caloric restriction or ultralow-carbohydrate diets increases the production of ketone bodies, which are an alternative energy substrate in situations of insufficient glucose supply. Alzheimer ’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease are the most common neurodegenerative diseases in the world. It is believed that carbohydrate metabolism disorders may affect the progression of these diseases, as confirmed by both animal and human studies. Among patients with AD, the presence of ketone b odies in the body ...

Awareness of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Disability: Pilot Study for Elderly Requiring Care and Caregivers
Conclusions: It is important for caregivers to notice the emergence of impaired awareness among the elderly as soon as possible to ensure early diagnosis and treatment. The results of this study suggest the need for caregivers to take care of the elderly patients with the perspective that they may develop impaired awareness of responsibility for their own medications.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2022;12:94 –99 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)
