The Short Form of the Geriatric Depression Scale: A Comparison With the 30-Item Form The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) exists in both short and long forms. The original 30-item form of the GDS has been shown to be an effective screening test for depression in a variety of settings. However, its utility in patients with demen tia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) is questionable. The short, 15-item version of the GDS was developed primarily for brev ity and, in particular, fo... ...

Sleep Problems and Institutionalization of the Elderly This study examined the role of sleep problems in the decisions of families to institutionalize elderly relatives. Previous work on institutionalization of the elderly has given little attention to the contribution of nocturnal, sleep-related problems. Seventy-three primary caregivers of elders recently admitted to a nursing home or psychiatric hospital were asked to identify the problems... ...

Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson DiseaseAim: To compare quality of life, level of disability, and caregiver burden in 3 groups of people with Parkinson disease (PD): those with mild cognitive impairment (PD-MCI), those with dementia (PDD), and those with no cognitive impairment (PD-NC). Background: Although the cognitive profile of ...

Effects of Cognitive Challenge on Gait Variability in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease Attention plays an important role in the gait disturbances of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, the effects of “dual tasking” on fall risk and gait instability have not been well studied. The authors tested the hypothesis that gait variability increases when subjects with PD walk while performing a cognitively challenging task (CCT). Subjects with idiopathic PD walked under... ...

Neuropsychological Prediction of Decline to Dementia in Nondemented Elderly This study examined whether baseline neuropsychological performance in elderly assessed at a research clinic could accurately predict subsequent decline to dementia. Logistic regression analyses were applied to (1) 213 nondemented elderly with a Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) score of 1, 2, or 3, of whom 74 (35%) subsequently declined to any diagnosis of dementia, and (2) a diagnostical... ...

Middle-Aged Children of Persons With Alzheimer’s Disease: APOE Genotypes and Cognitive Function in the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention Adult children of persons with Alzheimer’s disease are at increased risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease because of hereditary, environmental, and health risk factors shared with affected parents. The Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP) has completed baseline assessments on 452 middle-aged persons (mean = 53 years) who have at least 1 parent with AD. Forty-five percent ... ...

Very Early Detection of Alzheimer Neuropathology and the Role of Brain Reserve in Modifying Its Clinical Expression Numerous studies show that the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease is present decades before a clinical diagnosis of dementia can be made. Given the likelihood that agents will become available that reliably delay onset and/or slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease, it will be important to detect preclinical Alzheimer’s disease as early as possible for maximal treatment effect. Detection of... ...

Depression and Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease: Possible Effect of Genetic Variation in the Serotonin Transporter Recently, a functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene has been linked to anxiety. In cell culture, the short allele of this polymorphism synthesizes less serotonin transporter, resulting in a reduction of the removal of serotonin from the synaptic cleft. This pilot study examines depression and anxiety in Parkinson's disease patients as a function of... ...

MR Spectroscopy, Functional MRI, and Diffusion-Tensor Imaging in the Aging Brain: A Conceptual Review In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) have recently opened new possibilities for noninvasively assessing the metabolic, functional, and connectivity correlates of aging in research and clinical settings. The purpose of this article is to provide a conceptual review intended for a multidisciplinary au... ...

When One Loses Empathy The effects of empathy loss in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer disease (AD) on carer symptomatology were investigated. Carers of patients with 2 clinical subtypes of FTD (behavioral-variant FTD [bvFTD] = 18; semantic dementia [SD] = 14) and AD (n = 18) completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI), a standardized questionnaire of empathy as well as a measure of perceived ... ...
