Summary: This study investigated the impact of APOEe4 on the relationship between hsCRP and the risk of dementia, AD, and cognitive impairment. The findings suggest that raised hsCRP levels are associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment seven years later among individuals who carry at least one allele of APOEe4.

Summary: The ILiAD trial is a pilot study exploring the potential benefits of the anti-seizure medication levetiracetam in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. The primary outcome is the change in a touchscreen memory task, and secondary outcomes include mood effects, quality of life changes, and carer-reported outcomes.

Summary: Researchers used ChatGPT to generate medical research abstracts, which were mostly detected as fake by an AI output detector. The generated abstracts scored lower in plagiarism detection and human review, but it was difficult for reviewers to differentiate between the generated and original ones. AI output detectors can be used as editorial tools to maintain scientific standards.

Summary: This pilot study suggests that traditional neuropsychological tests and error process scores can accurately identify cognitively resilient individuals. This provides possibilities for studying genetic, lifestyle, and other factors that confer resilience among individuals at high risk for dementia.

Summary: A deep learning NLP method was developed to detect cognitive concerns in unstructured clinician notes from EHR, improving detection accuracy without dementia-related codes or medications. The model showed increased sensitivity and maintained high specificity, demonstrating potential for early detection of cognitive issues and predicting hospital readmissions.

Summary: Although health-related literature is available online for a wide audience, the language used in scientific articles is often too complex for the general public. Adapting these articles into plain language versions is crucial for public understanding. Deep Learning algorithms offer a solution, but reliable evaluation requires high-quality datasets.

Summary: The R145C variant is a potent risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) among individuals of African ancestry with the e3/e4 genotype. Our findings should enhance AD risk prediction in this population and contribute to our understanding of the relationship between the apoE protein and AD pathogenesis.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of white matter structural abnormalities caused by LATE-NC using diffusion tensor imaging. The results showed that greater LATE-NC burden was associated with lower diffusion anisotropy in the medial temporal lobe white matter. These white matter connectivity anomalies may potentially contribute to the prediction of this disease.
