Impairment of the Missing Fundamental Phenomenon in Individuals with Alzheimer ’s Disease: A Neuropsychological and Voxel-Based Morphometric Study
Conclusions: These results suggest that impairments in the MFP represent a manifestation of the degeneration of auditory-related brain regions in AD. Further studies are required to more fully elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying auditory impairments in patients with AD and related dementia disorders.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:23 –32 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Lexical Retrieval or Semantic Knowledge Which One Causes Naming Errors in Patients with Mild and Moderate Alzheimer ’s Disease
Conclusion: Anomia in the initial phase of Alzheimer ’s disease is due to problems in lexical retrieval; however, as the disease advances, in addition to lexical retrieval problems, conceptual knowledge causes naming problems.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:419 –429 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Verbal or Visual Memory Score and Regional Cerebral Blood Flow in Alzheimer Disease
Conclusion: The posterior medial cortices (PMC) are very important areas in episodic memory among patients with mild AD. Verbal memory is more closely related to the both sides of the PMC, while visual memory is more closely related to the right PMC.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:1 –11 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Assessment of Dementia in Individuals with Dual Sensory Loss: Application of a Tactile Test Battery
Conclusion: The findings from this study of applying tactile tests for cognitive examination in individuals with DSL are promising. They indicate that symptoms of dementia can be differentiated from symptoms related to DSL.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2018;8:12 –22 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

The Effect of Motion Artifacts on Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) Data and Proposal of a Video-NIRS System
Conclusion: Like the blood oxygen level-dependent imaging effect in functional MRI, the deoxy-Hb concentration will decrease if the data correctly reflect the change in neural activity. The video-NIRS system might be useful to collect NIRS data by recording the waveforms and the subject ’s appearance simultaneously.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:406 –418 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Gustatory Dysfunction as an Early Symptom of Semantic Dementia
Conclusions: Gustatory dysfunction at both the sensory and semantic levels may be among the early symptoms of SD. Although patients with SD had difficulty detecting sweet tastes, they more easily recognized these tastes than others, which may explain their strong preference for sweets.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:395 –405 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Fear of Falling and Cognitive Impairments in Elderly People with Hip Fractures
Conclusion: Our results suggested that more than two-thirds of patients with hip fractures had dementia. Fear of falling may reflect not only physical functions but also cognitive impairments.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:386 –394 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Cerebrospinal Fluid S100B and Alzheimer ’s Disease Biomarkers in Hip Fracture Patients with Delirium
Conclusions: CSF S100B was elevated in patients with incident delirium who also had pathological levels of the Alzheimer disease biomarker P-tau, suggesting vulnerability caused by a preexisting process of astrocytic activation and tau pathology.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2017;7:374 –385 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)
