Ultrasound delivery of a TrkA agonist confers neuroprotection to Alzheimer-associated pathologies

Kristiana Xhima et al.

Summary: Early degeneration of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons plays a crucial role in cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease. Therapeutic benefits of nerve growth factor (NGF) in neuroprotection and cognitive function remain unresolved in the presence of Alzheimer's disease-related pathologies. MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRIgFUS) can enhance delivery of TrkA agonists to targeted brain areas and potentially counteract Alzheimer's disease-related vulnerability.

Motor and non-motor circuit disturbances in early Parkinson disease: which happens first?

Javier Blesa et al.

Summary: The prevailing theory of Parkinson disease pathogenesis involves the spread of alpha-synuclein toxicity from the periphery to the brain. While this bottom-up mechanism is implicated, early neuronal loss in the nigrostriatal system also plays a prominent role.

Onset pattern of nigrostriatal denervation in early Parkinson's disease

Jose A. Pineda-Pardo et al.

Summary: The striatal dopaminergic deficit in Parkinson's disease follows a somatotopically related pattern, with an upper-limb onset and progression to other regions of the striatum. The denervation of the putamen was confirmed in both hemispheres and corresponding hemibodies. The findings suggest a precise somatotopic onset of nigrostriatal denervation in Parkinson's disease.

'Getting back to normality seems as big of a step as going into lockdown': the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on people with early to middle stage dementia

Catherine Talbot et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the 'shrinking world' effect for people with early to middle stage dementia, making them feel safe but lacking social interaction, cognitive stimulation, and meaningful activities. During lockdown, these individuals experienced a loss of confidence and anxiety about reintegrating into society.

Motor Onset Topography and Progression in Parkinson's Disease: the Upper Limb Is First

Mariana H. G. Monje et al.

Summary: The study found that motor manifestations in Parkinson's disease typically start distally in one upper limb, gradually progressing to involve the lower limb but remaining limited to one side at onset. Various clinical metrics and objective measurements confirmed upper limb predominance at onset.

So Hee Park et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the safety and potential benefits of repeated extensive BBB opening for patients with AD. Results indicated that the therapy could help remove amyloid plaque to some extent, but further research is needed to ensure the sustainability of the effects.

The Effect of Prolonged Lockdown Due to COVID-19 on Greek Demented Patients of Different Stages and on Their Caregivers

Angeliki Tsapanou et al.

Summary: The study found that the prolonged isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic had significant impacts on people with dementia and their caregivers, including increased physical and psychological burden for caregivers, overall decline in the people with dementia, and specific decline in domains like communication and mood. Collaboration among care workers, online programs, governmental support, and day-care centers is necessary to provide continuous care for those in need during the pandemic.

Association of COVID-19 Pandemic and Rate of Cognitive Decline in Patients with Dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Cross-sectional Study

Ismail Ibrahim Ismail et al.

Summary: This study conducted in Kuwait examined the rate of cognitive decline among patients with dementia during the COVID-19 lockdown. The results showed a significant increase in cognitive decline, particularly in the memory domain, during the lockdown period. Healthcare systems should provide more attention and support to this vulnerable group during the crisis.
