Compensatory Postural Adjustments in an Oculus Virtual Reality Environment and the Risk of Falling in Alzheimer's Disease
Conclusion: The slower reaction by CPA in AD may be a reflection of different cognitive resources including body schema self-perception, visual motion, depth perception, or a different state of fear and/or anxiety.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:252-267 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Physical Exercise with Multicomponent Cognitive Intervention for Older Adults with Alzheimer's Disease: A 6-Month Randomized Controlled Trial
Conclusion: This study indicates that it is possible to improve cognitive function in older adults with moderate to severe AD through 6-month physical exercise with a multicomponent cognitive intervention.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:222-232 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Validation Study of the Korean Version of the Brief Clinical Form of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory
Conclusions: The KNPI-Q is a reliable and brief instrument that can be employed for screening in the evaluation of neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia and associated caregiver distress. It may be suitable for use in general clinical practice and could be administered as a brief neuropsychiatric interview.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:214-221 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Co-Occurrence of Language and Behavioural Change in Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration
Conclusion: Behavioural and language symptoms frequently co-occur in patients with FTLD pathology. Current classifications, which separate behavioural and language syndromes, do not reflect this co-occurrence.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:205-213 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Vestibular Impairment in Frontotemporal Dementia Syndrome
Conclusion: The present study revealed that impairment of VS in patients with FTD results in an inability to regulate vestibular function by means of visual perception, regardless of multiple presumed neuropathological backgrounds. This could also be associated with gait disturbance in patients with FTD syndrome.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:194-204 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Cognitive and Functional Decline among Individuals 50 Years of Age or Older in Cambé, Paraná, Brazil: A Population-Based Study
Conclusions: These data show a high frequency of CFD among adults 50 years and older. Individuals with less education and a lower socioeconomic level exhibited poorer cognitive and functional conditions.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:185-193 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Neuroepidemiologic and Neurobehavioral Characteristics of Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome in an Old-Old Population: The Kurihara Project
Conclusions: The MCR syndrome increases the rate of conversion to dementia, and both slow gait and lower scores in executive tests, which are ‘frontal-based' functions, are predictive of higher rates of conversion to dementia.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:176-182 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Trajectories of Depressive Symptomatology in Rural Memory Clinic Patients between Baseline Diagnosis and 1-Year Follow-Up
Conclusion: Future studies should further examine short-term postdiagnostic trajectories in depressive symptomatology in multiple dementia diagnostic groups to inform prognoses and treatment decisions.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:161-175 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

A Psychometric Evaluation of the Threadgold Communication Tool for Persons with Dementia
Conclusion: Despite the low sample size in this study, the results revealed the TCT as a reliable and valid instrument, suitable for measuring communication among people with dementia. We suggest clarifying the understanding of ‘vocalizing' before considering removing it from the scale.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:150-160 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Cerebrospinal Fluid TDP-43 in Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Patients with and without the C9ORF72 Hexanucleotide Expansion
Conclusion: CSF TDP-43 does not seem to distinguish the C9ORF72 expansion carriers from noncarriers. However, higher CSF TDP-43 levels were detected in ALS than in FTLD, which might be an indicator of a more rapid progression of TDP-43 pathology in ALS.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:142-149 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Brain Perfusion in Corticobasal Syndrome with Progressive Aphasia
Conclusion: CBS patients with aphasia exhibit motor symptoms predominantly on the right side and cortical atrophy mainly in the left perisylvian cortices. In particular, left frontal dysfunction might be related to nonfluent aphasia in CBS.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:133-141 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Comparison between Early-Onset and Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Patients with Amnestic Presentation: CSF and 18F-FDG PET Study
Conclusions: The results of our study show that patients with EOAD show a different metabolic pattern as compared to those with LOAD that mainly involves the left parietal lobe.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2016;6:108-119 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)
