Concomitant antidementia drug use does not affect pimavanserin safety, PK profile

13 Aug 2021 by

In patients with neurodegenerative and/or neurovascular disease (NDD) and dementia-related psychosis (DRP), concomitant antidementia medications (cADMs) used alongside the selective serotonin receptor modulating agent pimavanserin did not adversely impact its safety and pharmacokinetic (PK) profile, according to data presented at AAIC 2021.

New CBT programme may help manage persecutory delusions

10 Aug 2021 by

The Feeling Safe Programme (FSP) – a new, modular, personalized, theoretically driven cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) programme – led to a significant reduction in persistent persecutory delusions compared with befriending, a UK study suggests.

Blood biomarkers useful for improving stroke risk prediction in AF

09 Aug 2021

Higher concentrations of the blood biomarkers cystatin C, factor VIII, interleukin (IL)‐6, and N‐terminal B‐type natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP), are strongly associated with increased risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation (AF), according to data from the REGARDS* study. Moreover, these markers improve the prediction of stroke risk when added to the CHA2DS2VASc score.

AI-derived MRI indices aid early differential diagnosis of three cognitive disorders

05 Aug 2021 by

Recent research carried out at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has demonstrated high sensitivity and specificity of artificial intelligence (AI)–derived MRI indices for detection of three early-stage cognitive disorders, namely, Alzheimer’s disease (AD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Alteplase can stave off death in stroke patients with AF not undergoing thrombectomy

04 Aug 2021 by

The thrombolytic drug alteplase appears to confer survival gains in acute ischaemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), especially those who are not undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT), as shown in the IAC (Initiation of Anticoagulation After Cardioembolic Stroke) study.
