This study focuses on neuroimaging methods such as structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) have been used to diagnose and categorize AD
Olfactory impairments are notably present in MCI, particularly with significant declines in odor identification, similar to the primary sensory deficit observed in AD, suggesting the incorporation of odor identification tests for early AD detection.
Dementia is a global leading cause of disability and death among older adults, and there is a need to carefully evaluate existing evidence on related risk factors to guide future research. This review summarized and evaluated the most updated evidence on associations of various magnesium forms (supplements, dietary intake, and biomarkers) with cognitive outcomes in adults, based on evidence from randomized controlled trials and cohort studies.

Interaction of human and socially assistive robot can have applicability in actual settings, and adoption to function in human environment for Alzheimer's disease. This review revealed that there are still several technical challenges that must be addressed in future advancements before being integrated in real life of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. The results will help move towards the establishment of best practices for the development of human and socially assistive robot interaction for Alzheimer's disease and, in turn, help enhance the experience of people suffering from this disease.
This study investigates the relationship between antidiabetic drugs and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in a population-based sample.
This review discusses the impact of Apolipoprotein-E4 (ApoE4) on cognitive performance in targeted-replacement human ApoE knock-in mice, finding that ApoE4 mice exhibit significant cognitive deficits compared to ApoE3 mice in various cognitive tests, indicating an intrinsic vulnerability in ApoE4 mice that may be exacerbated in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.

On 23 December 1994, the United Nations General Assembly decided, in its resolution 49/214, that the International Day of the World’s Indigenous People shall be observed on 9 August every year. The date marks the first meeting, in 1982, of the UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations.

Indigenous Peoples face disproportionate risks from climate change while being key to planetary health and climate resilience due to their traditional ecological knowledge. This manuscript provides Indigenous perspectives on climate justice, exploring the intersection of health, sovereignty, and ancestral practices, and discusses opportunities for decolonizing relationships to place, highlighting a case of rematriation and healing at Bdóte, the place of genesis for Dakota Peoples, also known as Minneapolis and Saint Paul, MN.
