ObjectivesTo describe the differences observed in risk factors for delirium and outcomes between men and women undergoing hip fracture repair surgery. DesignProspective cohort study. SettingAcademic medical center. ParticipantsIndividuals with acute hip fracture admitted to an academic medical center (N = 431). MeasurementsInformation on preoperative demographic characteristics, medical history, laboratory results, and postoperative outcomes was obtained according to history and chart review. Delirium was assessed using the Confusion Assessment Method. ResultsThe overall incidence of postoperative delirium was 34%, with men more likely to experience postoperative delirium (44.8%) than women (30.2%) (P = .004). Male sex was associated with postoperative delirium in individuals with hip fracture, even after adjusting for other preoperative risk factors. Other significant preoperative risk factors included age, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and American Society of Anesthesiologists classification. Men were also more likely to experience other postoperative complications and have longer hospital length of stay. ConclusionMen are at higher risk of postoperative delirium after hip fracture repair than women and have more postoperative surgical complications. Their higher risk of postoperative delirium may be due to their underlying preoperative disease severity.

Psychotropic Medication and Cognitive, Functional, and Neuropsychiatric Outcomes in Alzheimer's Disease (AD)

Esther S. Oh, Paul B. Rosenberg, Gail B. Rattinger, Elizabeth A. Stuart, Constantine G. Lyketsos, Jeannie-Marie S. Leoutsakos

Summary: This study found that the use of atypical antipsychotics in AD patients was associated with worse cognition and function, while the use of non-SSRI antidepressants was associated with better function. However, no drug class was associated with improvement in neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Association of Depressive Symptoms With Postoperative Delirium and CSF Biomarkers for Alzheimer's Disease Among Hip Fracture Patients

Summary: The study revealed an association between depressive symptoms and postoperative delirium in elderly hip fracture patients, with mild depressive symptoms being the strongest predictor of delirium. Additionally, depressive symptoms were linked to underlying Alzheimer's disease pathology, indicating a potential dementia prodrome.

Reducing Risky Drug Use Behaviors by Enrolling Syringe Exchange Registrants in Methadone Maintenance

Michael Kidorf, Robert K. Brooner, Jeannie-Marie Leoutsakos, Jessica Peirce

Summary: Referring syringe exchange registrants with opioid use disorder to methadone maintenance treatment can reduce drug use risk behaviors. Longer treatment episodes lead to additional risk reduction. However, continued illicit drug use in treatment diminishes the benefits of risk reduction.

Summary: This study describes the chronology of functional disabilities in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and investigates the associations between psychiatric comorbidities and functional disabilities. The findings provide guidance for clinicians to predict disabilities and target interventions in PPA.

Summary: The study evaluated the feasibility and potential efficacy of a technology-assisted education program in teaching high-risk adults about opioids. Results showed significant increases in participant accuracy after each course, with learning retained across tests. Participant education, employment, and poverty did not affect learning outcomes.

Neuronal-Derived EV Biomarkers Track Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer's Disease

Erden Eren, Jeannie-Marie Leoutsakos, Juan Troncoso, Constantine G. Lyketsos, Esther S. Oh, Dimitrios Kapogiannis

Summary: The hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology are senile plaques containing amyloid-beta (A beta) and neurofibrillary tangles containing hyperphosphorylated tau. Additional pathologies often co-exist, whereas multiple pathogenic mechanisms are involved in AD, especially synaptic degeneration, which necessitate the need for synaptic integrity-related biomarkers alongside A beta- and tau-related biomarkers. Plasma neuron-derived Extracellular Vesicles (NDEVs) provide biomarkers related to A beta and tau and synaptic degeneration. Higher levels of NDEV A beta(42) were consistently associated with better cognitive status, memory, fluency, working memory, and executive function. Higher levels of NDEV synaptic integrity-related biomarkers were associated with better performance on executive function tasks. Our findings support the hypothesis that releasing A beta(42)-laden NDEVs may be an adaptive mechanism in AD.

Psychosocial Interventions to Promote Undetectable HIV Viral Loads: A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials

Summary: Based on evaluation of randomized controlled trials, only a few interventions were able to significantly increase the proportion of HIV-infected individuals achieving undetectable viral loads. Overall, these interventions were found to be more effective than Standard of Care. However, recent interventions did not show increased effectiveness in promoting undetectable viral loads.

Summary: Community-dwelling dementia care partners (CPs) have diverse and modifiable unmet needs. Optimal approaches to dementia care should take a family-centered home-based approach, including routine needs assessment for CPs and targeted interventions to improve outcomes for both patients and CPs.

Summary: This study found that long-term delivery of abstinence-contingent wage supplements can promote drug abstinence and employment, but many patients relapse to drug use and cease employment when wage supplements are discontinued.

Summary: This study compared the correlates of depressive symptoms in first-time mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients within the first 6 months of recovery. The study found that depressive symptoms were associated with persistent postconcussive symptoms and incomplete functional recovery in the first 6 months after mTBI. The study also identified factors such as being female, older, lower education, having brain lesions, experiencing worse postconcussive symptoms, and incomplete functional recovery that were associated with the development of depressive symptoms and poor outcomes after mTBI.

Summary: This study investigated the timing at which A beta-PET binding starts showing associations with other markers of Alzheimer's disease. Participants with regional A beta binding had more APOE epsilon 4 carriers, reduced CSF A beta 1-42 levels, and greater longitudinal A beta-PET accumulation compared to A beta-negative individuals.

Summary: Anxiety associated with dopamine medication fluctuations is a significant problem for individuals with Parkinson's disease. This study aimed to determine whether a specific profile of fluctuating anxiety exists in PD patients and whether it is associated with other symptoms or characteristics. The findings revealed that 31% of participants experienced a worsening in anxiety during the off-dopamine medication state, indicating the potential need for targeted interventions for this subgroup.
