Conclusion: Caregiver burden is strongly related to the extent of frontal or right-predominant parietal or temporal lobe dysfunction. Regional abnormality on perfusion imaging can be used to facilitate identification of individuals who are likely to create a high burden on caregivers.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:180 –189 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Driving Cessation in Patients Attending a Young-Onset Dementia Clinic: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Conclusions: YOD diagnosis, female gender, and impairment in praxis have a higher probability for driving cessation in those under 65 years of age with cognitive impairment.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:190 –198 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

The Link between Potassium and Mild Cognitive Impairment in Mexican-Americans
Conclusion: Our finding suggested a link between serum potassium levels and a diagnosis of MCI in Mexican-Americans. The results of this study support a previous research which has suggested that the risk factors for MCI may vary by ethnicity.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:151 –157 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Frontal White Matter Hyperintensity Is Associated with Verbal Aggressiveness in Elderly Women with Alzheimer Disease and Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
Conclusion: The current results indicated that PVH in the frontal lobe was independently associated with verbal aggressiveness.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:138 –150 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Caregiver Burden in Semantic Dementia with Right- and Left-Sided Predominant Cerebral Atrophy and in Behavioral-Variant Frontotemporal Dementia
Conclusion: Caregiver burden was highest in the bvFTD group, comparatively high in the SD (R #x3e; L) group, and lowest in the SD (L #x3e; R) group. Adequate support and intervention for caregivers should be tailored to differences in caregiver burden between these patient groups.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:128 –137 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Application of the DSM-5 Criteria for Major Neurocognitive Disorder to Vascular MCI Patients
Conclusion: We provide rules for the DSM-5 criteria for major NCD based on cognitive and functional changes over time, and define psychometric thresholds for clinically significant worsening to be used in longitudinal studies. According to these operationalized criteria, one-third of the MCI patients with SVD progressed to major NCD after 2 years, but only within the multiple-domain subtypes.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:104 –116 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Time from Symptom Debut to Dementia Assessment by the Specialist Healthcare Service in Norway
Conclusion: The findings may perhaps be explained by the hypothesis that highly educated people may be able to compensate better for cognitive impairment, which is in line with a hypothesis of cognitive reserve.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:117 –127 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in Saudi Arabia: A Community-Based Study
Conclusion: Prevalence of MCI and dementia in Saudi Arabia using MoCA were in the upper range compared to developed and developing countries. The high rate of risk factors for cognitive impairment in Saudi Arabia is contributing to this finding.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:98 –103 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Rivastigmine Improves Appetite by Increasing the Plasma Acyl/Des-Acyl Ghrelin Ratio and Cortisol in Alzheimer Disease
Conclusions: Our results suggest that compared with donepezil, rivastigmine has the advantage of improving appetite by increasing the acyl/des-acyl ghrelin ratio and cortisol level, thereby preventing weight loss.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:77 –84 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Automatic MRI Quantifying Methods in Behavioral-Variant Frontotemporal Dementia Diagnosis
Conclusion: VOL, VBM, and their combination are effective in differential diagnostics between bvFTD and AD or SMC. However, MRI atrophy profiles for bvFTD and LBD are too similar for a reliable differentiation with the quantification methods tested in this study.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:51 –59 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

High Incidence of Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in Slovenia in 2015: A Case Series
Conclusions: The incidence of sCJD was considerably higher in 2015. It reflects fluctuations in sporadic cases of this rare disease. The rising trend might indicate a previous underestimation and better recognition of the disease.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:42 –50 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Delirium, Frailty, and Fast-Track Surgery in Oncogeriatrics: Is There a Link?
Conclusions: Only few procedure-specific studies have examined the impact of FTS for colorectal cancer on POD. This is the first study to investigate the risk factors for POD, in a vulnerable octogenarian oncogeriatric population submitted to FTS surgery and frailty stratification.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:33 –41 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)
