Right hippocampus atrophy is independently associated with Alzheimer's disease with psychosis
ConclusionWe found that more severe hippocampal atrophy is associated with AD+P than with AD −P. In addition, atrophy of the right hippocampus remained significant among AD+P after adjustment for frontal volume. These findings suggest that right hippocampal atrophy is independently associated with AD+P.

Alzheimer's disease or Alzheimer's syndrome?: a longitudinal computed tomography neuroradiological follow‐up study of 56 cases diagnosed clinically as Alzheimer's disease
ConclusionCases of so‐called Alzheimer's disease, as observed through continued clinical follow‐up and serial CT examinations, appear so diverse in symptomatology and radiological pathomorphology that it is difficult to consider them a single nosological entity. The pathology of Alzheimer's disease has to be reconsidered in accordance with the variety observed in the sequential development of neuroradiological findings. The pathology must be reconstructed in terms of topographical dimensions and chronological developments. The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease appears to be not so simple based on any conventional diagno...

Longitudinal functional changes, depression, and health‐related quality of life among stroke survivors living at home after inpatient rehabilitation
ConclusionSocial participation was associated with long‐term improvement in activities of daily living, indicating that interventions targeting social function are important for maintaining and further improving activities of daily living in stroke survivors. Health‐related quality of life was correlated with activities of daily living and depression; therefore, interventions targeting these parameters are important in improving the quality of life of stroke survivors.

Dementia in elderly inpatients admitted to medical wards in Brazil: diagnosis and comorbidity with other clinical diseases
ConclusionsThe prevalence of CFI and dementia was high among the elderly inpatients examined. The identification of medical and sociodemographic conditions associated with a dementia diagnosis in a general hospital may be useful in the development of preventative actions.

Anton–Babinski syndrome in an old patient: a case report and literature review
Abstract Anton–Babinski syndrome is a rare disease featuring bilateral cortical blindness and anosognosia with visual confabulation, but without dementia or any memory impairment. It has a unique neuropsychiatric presentation and should be highly suspected in those with odd visual loss and imaging evidence of occipital lobe injury. In the case discussed herein, a 90‐year‐old man presented with bilateral blindness, obvious anosognosia, and vivid visual confabulation, which he had had for 3 days. Brain computed tomography demonstrated recent hypodense infarctions at the bilateral occipital lobes. Thus, the patient was ...

Microstructural abnormality in white matter, regulatory T lymphocytes, and depressive symptoms after stroke
ConclusionsFA reductions in the anterior limb of the internal capsule cause abnormality in the frontal‐subcortical circuits and confer a biological vulnerability, which in combination with environmental stressors results in the onset of depression. Our findings also demonstrated the possibility of preventing post‐stroke depression by targeting the role of regulatory T lymphocytes in brain tissue repair and regeneration after stroke.

Comparisons of clinical symptoms in biomarker‐confirmed Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and frontotemporal dementia patients in a local memory clinic
ConclusionMemory impairment and apathy are not useful discriminative symptoms in diagnosing AD, DLB, and FTD. Apraxia favours AD. Hallucinations, particularly well‐formed visual hallucinations, favour DLB. Overall, behavioural and neuropsychiatric symptoms of dementia symptoms are common among the three groups of dementia patients.
