Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in Alzheimer's disease (AD) affect up to 97% of AD patients, with an estimated 80% current patients experiencing these symptoms. Common AD-associated NPS include depression, anxiety, agitation, aggression, and apathy. The severity is typically linked the disease's progression extent cognitive decline. Additionally, are responsible for a significant increase morbidity, mortality, caregiver burden, earlier nursing home placement, greater healthcare expenditure. Despite their high prevalence impact, there notable lack clinical research on AD. In this article, we explore analyze prevalence, symptom manifestations, challenges diagnosis, treatment options associated Our literature review reveals that distinguishing accurately diagnosing remains challenging task settings. It often difficult discern whether secondary pathophysiological changes from or comorbid psychiatric conditions. Furthermore, availability effective pharmaceutical interventions, as well non-pharmacotherapies AD, limited. By highlighting advance diagnosis NPS, aspire offer new insights into complexity identifying treating within context contribute deeper understanding multifaceted nature

A series of clinical trials support the effectiveness monoclonal antibodies for generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) compared to placebo, but priority among drugs remains unclear. Therefore, we conduct a frequentist network meta-analysis (NMA) compare relative effects different MG. PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and clinicaltrials.gov were systematically searched eligible studies up 1 June 2023. The primary outcome was efficacy (Myasthenia Gravis Activities Daily Living [MG-ADL] score Quantitative Myasthenia [QMG] score) safety (adverse events [AEs]). Mean difference (MD) risk ratio (RR) with their 95% credible intervals (95%CrIs) used show effect size continuous categorical variables, respectively. quality evidence assessed using Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development Evaluation (GRADE) approach.

Background: Depression and dementia represent significant health challenges in older adults, affecting both quality of life independence, with a combined point prevalence 35%. Despite guidelines recommending antidepressants, their efficacy depressed patients remains controversial.Objective: This review primarily aims to determine the effect any-type antidepressant on level depression adults secondly if there is an antidepressants cognitive state, life, functionality old-age population dementia.Methods: A systematic meta-analysis was conducted RCTs, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central Register Controlled Trials databases. Study participants were aged 65 older, diagnosed any type dementia, excluding those other severe psychiatric conditions or undergoing brain stimulation treatments. We used Risk-of-Bias tool GRADE framework for certainty evidence. Analysis involved standardized mean difference heterogeneous measures, 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Findings: Of 27,771 screened articles, 14 studies, totaling 1909 participants, mild treatment SSRI, SSNRI, atypical, tricyclic included. Due missing information, only 8 studies included quantitative synthesis, 617 participants. No evidence found (SMD -0.10 [-0.26, 0.07]), nor when subgrouped based severity level, secondary outcomes.Interpretation: did not find clinical treating dementia.

Many studies have examined evidence for managing agitation dementia. However, results are not always consistent, which might be explained by variations definition type presence comorbidities, including other BPSD. The Dementia Working Group International Psychogeriatric Association (IPA) has recently updated criteria defining cognitive disorders proposed an management algorithm that only integrates both pharmacological nonpharmacological interventions also distinguishes strategies different types based on latest available (Sano et al.
