Clinical characterization of probable Dementia with Lewy Bodies based on the initial clinical presentation in a Latin American Low‐ and Middle‐ Income Country [PDF]
Abstract Background Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is a specific type of dementia associated with the accumulation of alpha‐synuclein protein in the brain. The disease often presents heterogeneously in its early stages, and little is known about how this variability affects its progression.

Clinical Scores for Predicting Outcomes in Pediatric Oncology Sepsis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Background Pediatric oncology patients with sepsis are at high risk of morbidity and mortality due to immunosuppression and acute or fulminant multiorgan dysfunction. There have been many clinical scores proposed for risk of mortality prediction (PELOD‐2, pSOFA, and Phoenix), but it remains unknown how well these scores predict risk in pediatric ...

Clinical, Neuropsychological, and Neuroimaging Features of Peruvian Patients with Primary Progressive Aphasia [PDF]
Abstract Background Primary progressive aphasias (PPA) are a group of neurodegenerative syndromes primarily characterized by the progressive loss of language. Despite established diagnostic criteria, identification can be challenging, especially in regions with limited resources and few studies, such as Latin America.

Assessing the Overlap in Diagnostic Criteria for Primary Progressive Aphasia in a Latin American Population [PDF]
Abstract Background Primary progressive aphasias (PPA) are characterized by a progressive deterioration of language. Despite the establishment of international criteria in 2011 defining three variants (semantic, nonfluent, and logopenic), these variants can present overlapping symptoms, making their identification and differentiation challenging.

Relationship between genetic risk and p‐tau concentration on cognitive performance in a multiethnic population from Peru [PDF]
Abstract Background The presence of APOE 4 is considered the main genetic risk factor for the development of dementia. Additionally, plasma p‐tau has been shown to be an important biomarker associated with Alzheimer's disease. However, these factors have been understudied in Latin American ethnic minorities, such as the Quechuas and Aymaras.

Clinical Validation and Standardization of the Brain Health Assessment in the Tablet‐Based Cognitive Assessment Tool (BHA‐TabCAT) in Peruvian Older Adults [PDF]
Abstract Background Detecting cognitive decline presents a significant challenge for researchers and clinicians, particularly in older adults with low educational levels or different sociocultural characteristics. Additionally, traditional normative data may under‐ or overestimate preliminary diagnoses in these populations, due its non‐use of measures ...

Divergent Functional Capacity in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia: Insights from the Peruvian Adaptation of the Amsterdam Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire [PDF]
Abstract Background Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) involve activities with higher cognitive demands, such as meal preparation, shopping, home maintenance, and financial management. IADL disturbances often emerge in early disease stages, affected by cognitive deficits regardless of dementia diagnosis.

Educational Disparities and Lower Cognitive Performance on MMSE and RUDAS Despite Neuroanatomical and Functional Preservation in Aging: Insights from Peru [PDF]
Abstract Background Cognitive assessment of older adults who are either illiterate or with low levels of education is particularly challenging because several battery tasks require a certain educational background, despite a large portion of the world having not completed primary school.

Adaptation and Validation of Amsterdam Instrumental Activities of Daily Living Questionnaire Short Version for Peru [PDF]
Abstract Background Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) are key indicators of functional decline in dementia, but culturally adapted tools for Latin America are scarce. The Amsterdam IADL Questionnaire Short Version (A‐IADL‐Q‐SV) has shown strong psychometric properties globally but has not been validated in Peru.
