Frailty in Older Adults with Mild Dementia: Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Alzheimer ’s Disease
Conclusion: Frailty was higher than expected in both types of dementia. The prevalence of frailty was higher in those with DLB compared to AD. This new finding underscores the need for a multi-systems approach in both dementias, with a particular focus on DLB.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2019;9:176 –183 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

People with Dementia in Sub-Saharan Africa: From Support to Abuse by Caregivers: Results of EPIDEMCA-FU Program in Congo
Conclusion: Stigma, generated by social representations, can change the patient’s behavior and the one of informal caregivers, leading to time delay in the search for appropriate help.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2019;9:163 –175 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Cerebrospinal Fluid Biomarkers for the Diagnosis of Prodromal Alzheimer ’s Disease in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
Conclusions: CSF biomarkers are very useful tools for the differential diagnosis of prodromal AD in aMCI patients. The concentration of CSF biomarkers is well correlated with the stages of the AD spectrum.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2019;9:100 –113 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Novel Face-Name Paired Associate Learning and Famous Face Recognition in Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Neuropsychological and Brain Volumetric Study
Conclusions: Novel and semantically familiar face-name associative recalls are significantly impaired in MCI, and these potentially predate the MRI volumetric changes in MCI. Our findings expand the spectrum of recall deficits in MCI.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2019;9:114 –128 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Impact of Physical Fitness on Cognitive Performance in Patients at a Memory Clinic
Conclusion: Low CRF and MF are associated with cognitive impairment. This applies even in 50- to 60-year-old nondemented subjects without marked physical morbidity. These findings support the potential usefulness of physical exercise for dementia prevention.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2019;9:129 –135 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Language in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment and Dementia of Alzheimer ’s Type: Quantitatively or Qualitatively Different?
Conclusion: Language tests provide an important contribution to the diagnostic process in their capacity to identify language impairments at an early stage. Understanding the nature of language decline is critically important to the intervention process as this information would inform cognitive intervention approaches aimed at promoting quality of life in people living with MCI and dementia.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2019;9:136 –151 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)

Long-Term Storage Effects on Stability of A β < sub > 1 –40 < /sub > , A β < sub > 1 –42 < /sub > , and Total Tau Proteins in Human Plasma Samples Measured with Immunomagnetic Reduction Assays
Conclusion: Although the measured concentrations of T-Tau in human plasma may alter during storage, the diagnostic utility of the results are only slightly affected when the product of A β1 –42 and T-Tau concentrations are used. The results show that the overall agreement between baseline and repeated measurements in the ability of discriminating NCs from aMCI/AD patients is higher than 80%.Dement Geriatr Cogn Disord Extra 2019;9:77 –86 (Source: Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders Extra)
