Developing Personally Relevant Goals for People with Mild Dementia
Semin Speech Lang 2015; 36: 190-198DOI: 10.1055/s-0035-1551840Many speech-language pathologists work in the skilled nursing facility setting and frequently treat patients in subacute rehabilitation who are experiencing mild cognitive deficits as a result of dementia. Treatment of these individuals needs to be carefully differentiated from rehabilitative treatment of a stroke or traumatic brain injury. A “habilitation” approach should be considered, focusing on an individual's preserved strengths and developing patient-centered goals that focus upon the integration of personally relevant stimuli into the care plan.

Developing Personally Relevant Goals for People with Mild Dementia.
Abstract Many speech-language pathologists work in the skilled nursing facility setting and frequently treat patients in subacute rehabilitation who are experiencing mild cognitive deficits as a result of dementia. Treatment of these individuals needs to be carefully differentiated from rehabilitative treatment of a stroke or traumatic brain injury. A "habilitation" approach should be considered, focusing on an individual's preserved strengths and developing patient-centered goals that focus upon the integration of personally relevant stimuli into the care plan. Environmental modification, the use of visual memory...

Depression as a risk factor for cognitive impairment in later life: the Health In Men cohort study
ConclusionsThe lack of association between past depression and cognitive impairment suggests that the link between depression and cognitive impairment is not causal and that the presence of clinically significant depressive symptoms in later life may herald the onset of cognitive impairment in at least some people.

Differentiating between right-lateralised semantic dementia and behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia: an examination of clinical characteristics and emotion processing
Conclusions This study demonstrates comparable deficits in facial emotion processing in right SD and bvFTD, in keeping with their similar clinical profiles. These deficits are attributable to divergent neural substrates in each patient group, namely, right lateralised regions in right SD, versus predominantly left lateralised regions in bvFTD.

Framingham Study Suggests Dementia Rates May Be Falling
Many experts predict that as people live longer, the prevalence of dementia will climb. However, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine now suggests the incidence of dementia may be falling.Researchers from Boston University School Medicine analyzed data from 5,205 people aged 60 and older who were participants in the Framingham Heart Study, a community-based, longitudinal cohort study that was initiated in 1948. Since 1975, the cognitive status of the original cohort has been regularly monitored via the Mini-Mental State Examination, neurological and neuropsychological examinations, and subjective memory...

Public Health and Citizens, Truly United
There are just two problems with the prevailing conception of "public health" -- the public, and health. Neither means what we think it means. For starters, there is no public. The public is an anonymous mass, a statistical conception, nameless, faceless, unknowable, and unlovable. I have made the case before that laboring under this crippling fiction, the potential good that all things "public health" might do is much forestalled. We talk, for instance, about the genuine potential to eliminate up to 80 percent of the total global burden of chronic disease -- heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, dementia -- but somehow...

Decline in dementia rate offers “cautious hope”
“The number of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias will grow each year as the size and proportion of the U.S. population age 65 and older continue to increase. The number will escalate rapidly in coming years as the baby boom generation ages.” 2015 Alzheimer’s disease Facts and Figures Despite these alarming projections, a report from a recent issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) offered a few words of encouragement. Researchers from the longstanding Framingham study found that the rate of dementia has declined over the course of three decades. Framingham researchers had been study...

Prognostic Risk Profiles for Dementia: A Machine Learning Approach (P1.091)
Conclusions: These results suggest that vascular factors may play a greater role in dementia pathogenesis than currently thought. Furthermore, using this method we were able to achieve prediction accuracies that compare favorably with the existing literature.Disclosure: Dr. Morgenstern has nothing to disclose.
