Conclusion: This study is the first quantitative study to examine association between nurses ’ demographic characteristics, such as age or years of nursing experience, and their perceived control over nursing practice. Despite the preliminary findings of this study, the findings of this study provide a better understanding of the impact of nurses’ sociodemographic and professional chara cteristics on their levels of perceived control over nursing practice.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2022;12:1 –5 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Googling Alzheimer Disease: An Infodemiological and Ecological Study
Conclusion: Online interest in AD may represent a more complex metric influenced by socioeconomic factors. Awareness of the impact of celebrity diagnosis and awareness months on online search behavior may prove useful in the planning of public health campaigns for AD.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:333 –339 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

A Review of Functional Neuroimaging in People with Down Syndrome with and without Dementia
Background: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) are at high risk of dementia which is difficult to diagnose in DS. Neuroimaging has been identified as a potential tool to aid diagnosis by detecting changes in brain function. We carried out a review comparing functional neuroimaging in DS individuals with and without dementia.Summary: A literature search was conducted using PubMed to identify relevant studies. In DS subjects with dementia, fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (PET) studies showed glucose hypometabolism particularly in the parietal and/or temporal regions whilst magnetic resonance spectroscopy stu...

Translation, Cross-Cultural Adaptation, and Validation of the Portuguese Version of the Rotterdam Elderly Pain Observation Scale
Conclusion: The REPOS-P was a valuable scale for assessing elderly patients with low back pain by different healthcare professionals. Short application time, ease of use, clear instructions, and the brief training required for application were essential characteristics of REPOS-P.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:314 –323 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Prediction of Postoperative Delirium after Gastrointestinal Surgery Using the Mie Constructional Apraxia Scale
Conclusion: Preoperative MCAS results were capable of predicting the occurrence of POD after gastrointestinal surgery. In addition, a relatively short education background was also considered a risk factor for POD.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:306 –313 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

One-Year Change in Locus of Control among People with Dementia
Conclusion: Most participants showed a clinically meaningful change in locus of control after 12 months. Those with more signs of dementia progression reported a decrease in personal control but also a decrease in depressive symptoms. These findings are interesting for our understanding of coping but must be replicated with a larger sample.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:298 –305 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Effectiveness and Safety of Aromatherapy in Managing Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia: A Mixed-Methods Systematic Review
Conclusion: Aromatherapy, especially in the inhalation approach, could be a potentially safe and effective strategy for managing BPSD. However, more structuralized and comparable studies with sufficient sample size, adherence monitoring, and sound theoretical basis could be conducted to obtain conclusive findings.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:273 –297 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Impact of Plasma Donepezil Concentration on Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia in Patients with Alzheimer ’s Disease
Conclusions: These results indicate that higher plasma concentrations of donepezil contribute to preventing or alleviating rather than developing or deteriorating BPSD.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:264 –272 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

A Survey of Dementia Knowledge and Recognition of Dementia Prevention and Practice in Healthy Older Adults
Conclusions: Healthy older adults were aware of numerous behaviors for dementia prevention, and most older adults practiced preventive behaviors. In contrast, even with a high amount of knowledge about dementia, a small number of healthy older adults did not translate this knowledge into preventative behavioral practices. High levels of dementia knowledge do not translate into preventive behavioral practices.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:256 –263 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Short- and Long-Term Functional Connectivity Differences Associated with Alzheimer ’s Disease Progression
Discussion: sMCI and pMCI patients have different cognitive and FC profiles. Only pMCI patients showed cognitive differences across time. The DMN and SN showed local correlation and between-network FC differences between the sMCI and pMCI patient groups at multiple moments in time.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:235 –249 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Are Analogue or Digital Clocks Friendlier for People Living with Dementia?
Conclusions: In the present study, the digital clock was friendlier than the analogue clock for patients with dementia. Compared to the digital clock, reading analogue clocks might require more widespread cognition, such as working memory and visuospatial processing. While our finding was a general tendency, and individual assessment is necessary, it might help the development of personalized environmental adjustments.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2021;11:215 –220 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)
