Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors

Author(s): Mancor E; Montero-Odasso M; Bherer L; Almeida QJ; Liu-Ambrose T; Middleton LE; Camicioli R; Li K;

Background: Cognitive and motor deficits have been found to be important markers of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), a pre-dementia risk state. Recently, aerobic exercise (AE) and cognitive training (CT) interventions significantly improved cognitive and motor function in older adults with MCI. R ...

Clinical Manifestations

Author(s): Gagnon C; Montero-Odasso M; Zou G; Speechley MR; Almeida QJ; Liu-Ambrose T; Middleton LE; Camicioli R; Bray NW; Li K; Fraser S; Pieruccini-Faria F; Burhan AM; Berryman N; Lussier M; Son S; Shoemaker JK; Bherer L;

Background: In recent years, many studies have investigated the effects of non-pharmacological interventions (e.g. physical and cognitive training) on cognition in patients with mild cognitive impairment. The SYNERGIC trial showed that combining physical exercise and cognitive training leads to g ...

Synergistic effects of exercise, cognitive training and vitamin D on gait performance and falls in mild cognitive impairment-secondary outcomes from the SYNERGIC trial

Author(s): Pieruccini-Faria F; Son S; Zou G; Almeida QJ; Middleton LE; Bray NW; Lussier M; Shoemaker JK; Speechley M; Liu-Ambrose T; Burhan AM; Camicioli R; Li KZH; Fraser S; Berryman N; Bherer L; Montero-Odasso M;

Background: Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have a higher risk of gait impairments and falls; yet, the effects of multimodal interventions, including combinations of exercises with cognitive training, on improving their mobility remain unclear. Objectives: To investigate the sy ...

Use of lecanemab and donanemab in the Canadian healthcare system: Evidence, challenges, and areas for future research

Author(s): Smith EE; Phillips NA; Feldman HH; Borrie M; Ganesh A; Henri-Bhargava A; Desmarais P; Frank A; Badhwar A; Barlow L; Bartha R; Best S; Bethell J; Bhangu J; Black SE; Bocti C; Bronskill SE; Burhan AM; Calon F; Camicioli R; Campbell B; Coll ...

Lecanemab and donanemab are monoclonal antibody therapies that remove amyloid-beta from the brain. They are the first therapies that alter a fundamental mechanism, amyloid-beta deposition, in Alzheimer disease (AD). To inform Canadian decisions on approval and use of these drugs, the Canadian Con ...

Cognitive Speed in Neurodegenerative Disease: Comparing Mean Rate and Inconsistency Within and Across the Alzheimer's and Lewy Body Spectra in the COMPASS-ND Study

Author(s): Caballero HS; McFall GP; Gee M; MacDonald S; Phillips NA; Fogarty J; Montero-Odasso M; Camicioli R; Dixon RA;

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease (LBD) are characterized by early and gradual worsening perturbations in speeded cognitive responses. Objective: Using simple and choice reaction time tasks, we compared two indicators of cognitive speed within and across the AD and L ...

Gait variability across neurodegenerative and cognitive disorders: Results from the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) and the Gait and Brain Study.

Author(s): Pieruccini-Faria F, Black SE, Masellis M, Smith EE, Almeida QJ, Li KZH, Bherer L, Camicioli R, Montero-Odasso M

INTRODUCTION: Gait impairment is common in neurodegenerative disorders. Specifically, gait variability-the stride-to-stride fluctuations in distance and time-has been associated with neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. However, quantitative comparisons of gait impairments across the cogni ...

CCCDTD5 recommendations on early non cognitive markers of dementia: A Canadian consensus

Author(s): Montero-Odasso M; Pieruccini-Faria F; Ismail Z; Li K; Lim A; Phillips N; Kamkar N; Sarquis-Adamson Y; Speechley M; Theou O; Verghese J; Wallace L; Camicioli R;

Introduction: Cognitive impairment is the hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementias. However, motor decline has been recently described as a prodromal state that can help to detect at-risk individuals. Similarly, sensory changes, sleep and behavior disturbances, and frailty h ...
