Burdens on caregivers of patients with stroke during a pandemic: relationships with support satisfaction, psychological distress, and fear of COVID-19
Caregivers have faced unprecedented circumstances throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, but previous research only minimally addresses the caregivers' burden. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relatio...

As some hail new antibody treatment for Alzheimer ’s, safety and benefit questions persist
In a packed San Francisco conference room with a celebratory atmosphere, upbeat company representatives and scientists yesterday presented detailed clinical trial data on the first Alzheimer’s treatment shown to clearly, albeit modestly, slow the disease’s normal cognitive decline. The antibody therapy has buoyed a field marked by decades of failures. Now, it appears to be on the cusp of being greenlit by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Yet other researchers warn of potential risks, including brain swelling and brain hemorrhages that were linked to the recently disclosed deaths of two trial participants wh...

Neurological Complications and Consequences of the Novel Coronavirus COVID-19 Infection in Elderly and Senile Patients (Literature Review)
AbstractBased on available publications, the article systematizes information about some forms of lesions of the central nervous system (CNS), their pathogenesis and clinical manifestations in the case of COVID-19. The risk factors, mechanisms of development, diagnostic approach, and the age characteristics of patients with neurological complications of COVID-19 are discussed. The specific mechanisms of the neuroinvasiveness and neurovirulence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, regardless of the age of patients and the presence of risk factors, lead to systemic damage to the endothelium of small-caliber vessels, generalized thrombov...

Carotid disease, cognition, and aging: time to redefine asymptomatic disease?
AbstractThere is an increasing appreciation of the vascular contributions in the development of age-related cognitive impairment and dementia1,2. Identifying risk and maintaining cognitive health for successful aging is ever relevant in our aging population. Carotid disease, a well-established risk factor for stroke and often a harbinger of other vascular disease states, is also emerging as another vascular risk factor for age-related cognitive decline. When combined with vascular risk factors, the incidence of age-related carotid disease can be as high as 70%3,4. Historically, carotid disease has been dichotomized into tw...

Pressure pain threshold and somatosensory abnormalities in different ages and functional conditions of post-stroke elderly
Somatosensory deficits and abnormal pain sensitivity are highly prevalent among stroke survivors, which negatively impacts their quality of life and recovery process. However, the factors for pressure pain thr...

Strengths and Weaknesses of the Vascular Apathy Hypothesis: A Narrative Review
Am J Geriatr Psychiatry. 2022 Oct 1:S1064-7481(22)00526-7. doi: 10.1016/j.jagp.2022.09.016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe vascular apathy hypothesis states that cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can cause apathy, even when no other symptoms of CSVD are present. In order to examine this hypothesis, the objectives of this narrative review are to evaluate the evidence for a pathophysiological mechanism linking CSVD to apathy and to examine whether CSVD can be a sole cause of apathy. The nature of the CSVD-apathy relationship was evaluated using the Bradford Hill criteria as a method for research on the distinction betw...

Invited commentary: The vascular apathy hypothesis and its meaning for clinicians
For geriatric psychiatrists, apathy is one of the most challenging syndromes to diagnose and treat. Although it is a common syndrome characterized by a lack of motivation1, it is striking to observe how frequently apathy is missed or misdiagnosed in clinical settings. It often underlies treatment resistance, which can leave patients, caregivers, and clinicians feeling frustrated with a perceived lack of progress. Apathy is the most common neuropsychiatric symptom of dementia, but it is also seen in numerous neurological diseases including stroke and Parkinson's disease, and it may co-occur with depression.
