"Real-world" eligibility for anti-amyloid treatment in a tertiary memory clinic setting. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION The societal impact of anti‐amyloid treatment (AAT) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) depends largely on patient eligibility. Estimates suggest that 1% to 18% of individuals with AD may qualify for AAT; however, data from everyday clinical practice remain limited.

Structural and functional connectivity in tau mutation carriers: from presymptomatic to symptomatic frontotemporal dementia. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Microtubule‐associated protein tau (MAPT) mutations cause frontotemporal dementia (FTD), characterised by behavioural, language, and motor impairments due to brain connectivity disruptions. We investigated structural and functional connectivity in 86 mutation carriers and 272 controls to map connectivity changes at different ...

Cross-country variance in facial emotion recognition in presymptomatic and symptomatic behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia: Insights from the GENFI and ReDLat consortia. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION We investigated international differences in facial emotion recognition (FER) across stages of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Previous studies may have missed early decline by combining data and masking variations in FER across countries.

Distinctive cell-free DNA methylation characterizes presymptomatic genetic frontotemporal dementia. [PDF]
Abstract Objective Methylation of plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) has potential as a marker of brain damage in neurodegenerative diseases such as frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Here, we study methylation of cfDNA in presymptomatic and symptomatic carriers of genetic FTD pathogenic variants, next to healthy controls.

Biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction and cognition: A two-step IPD meta-analysis. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION This study assessed the association of plasma biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction with cognitive performance and decline. METHODS Data from 9414 individuals from eight Dutch cohorts were included (Ø age‐range: 57–93 years). Plasma biomarkers of endothelial dysfunction (soluble intercellular adhesion molecule‐1 (sICAM‐1), soluble

Contributions of amyloid beta and cerebral small vessel disease in clinical decline. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION We assessed whether co‐morbid small vessel disease (SVD) has clinical predictive value in preclinical or prodromal Alzheimer's disease. METHODS In 1090 non‐demented participants (65.4 ± 10.7 years) SVD was assessed with magnetic resonance imaging and amyloid beta (Aβ) with lumbar puncture and/or positron emission tomography scan ...

Vooruitdenken – Steun voor naasten van verpleeghuisbewoners met dementie in proactieve zorgplanning
Dementie is een ongeneeslijke ziekte. Daarom is een zorgaanpak nodig die zich richt op de kwaliteit van leven van mensen met dementie en hun naasten: palliatieve zorg. In deze zorg is het belangrijk om vooruit te denken over wensen en grenzen in de zorg
