    Recalling feature bindings differentiates Alzheimer's disease from frontotemporal dementia
    (2017) CECCHINI, Mario Amore; YASSUDA, Monica Sanches; BAHIA, Valeria Santoro; SOUZA, Leonardo Cruz de; GUIMARAES, Henrique Cerqueira; CARAMELLI, Paulo; CARTHERY-GOULART, Maria Teresa; PATROCINIO, Flavia; FOSS, Maria Paula; TUMAS, Vitor; LIMA-SILVA, Thais Bento; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; NITRINI, Ricardo; SALA, Sergio Della; PARRA, Mario A.
    It has been challenging to identify clinical cognitive markers that can differentiate patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) from those with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). The short-term memory binding (STMB) test assesses the ability to integrate colors and shapes into unified representations and to hold them temporarily during online performance. The objective of this study is to investigate whether free recall deficits during short-term memory binding (STMB) test can differentiate patients with AD from those with bvFTD and controls. Participants were 32 cognitively intact adults, 35 individuals with AD and 18 with bvFTD. All patients were in the mild dementia stage. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were used to examine the diagnostic accuracy of the STMB. The results showed that AD patients performed significantly worse than controls and bvFTD patients in the STMB test, while the latter groups showed equivalent performance. The bound condition of the STMB test showed an AUC of 0.853, with 84.4% of sensitivity and 80% of specificity to discriminate AD from controls and an AUC of 0.794, with 72.2% of sensitivity and 80% of specificity to differentiate AD from bvFTD. Binding deficits seem specific to AD. The free recall version of the STMB test can be used for clinical purposes and may aid in the differential diagnosis of AD. Findings support the view that the STMB may be a suitable cognitive marker for AD.

    Addenbrooke's cognitive examination-revised: normative and accuracy data for seniors with heterogeneous educational level in Brazil
    (2017) CESAR, Karolina G.; YASSUDA, Monica S.; PORTO, Fabio H. G.; BRUCKI, Sonia M. D.; NITRINI, Ricardo
    Background:Several cognitive tools have been developed aiming to diagnose dementia. The cognitive battery Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination - Revised (ACE-R) has been used to detect cognitive impairment; however, there are few studies including samples with low education. The aim of the study was to provide ACE-R norms for seniors within a lower education, including illiterates. An additional aim was to examine the accuracy of the ACE-R to detect dementia and cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND). Methods:Data originated from an epidemiological study conducted in the municipality of Tremembe, Brazil. The Brazilian version of ACE-R was applied as part of the cognitive assessment in all participants. Of the 630 participants, 385 were classified as cognitively normal (CN) and were included in the normative data set, 110 individuals were diagnosed with dementia, and 135 were classified as having CIND. Results:ACE-R norms were provided with the sample stratified into age and education bands. ACE-R total scores varied significantly according to age, education, and sex. To distinguish CN from dementia, a cut-off of 64 points was established (sensitivity 91%, specificity 76%) and to differentiate CN from CIND the best cut-off was 69 points (sensitivity 73%, specificity 65%). Cut-off scores varied according to the educational level. Conclusions:This study offers normative and accuracy parameters for seniors with lower education and it should expand the use of the ACE-R for this population segment.

    INTRODUCTION: Latin American Initiative for Lifestyle Intervention to Prevent Cognitive Decline (LatAm-FINGERS) is the first non-pharmacological multicenter randomized clinical trial (RCT) to prevent cognitive impairment in Latin America (LA). Our aim is to present the study design and discuss the strategies used for multicultural harmonization. METHODS: This 1-year RCT (working on a 1-year extension) investigates the feasibility of a multi-domain lifestyle intervention in LA and the efficacy of the intervention, primarily on cognitive function. An external harmonization process was carried out to follow the FINGER model, and an internal harmonization was performed to ensure this study was feasible and comparable across the 12 participating LA countries. RESULTS: Currently, 1549 participants have been screened, and 815 randomized. Participants are ethnically diverse (56% are Nestizo) and have high cardiovascular risk (39% have metabolic syndrome). DISCUSSION: LatAm-FINGERS overcame a significant challenge to combine the region's diversity into a multi-domain risk reduction intervention feasible across LA while preserving the original FINGER design.

    Neuropsychiatric Symptoms, Caregiver Burden and Distress in Behavioral-Variant Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease
    (2015) LIMA-SILVA, Thais Bento; BAHIA, Valeria Santoro; CARVALHO, Viviane Amaral; GUIMARAES, Henrique Cerqueira; CARAMELLI, Paulo; BALTHAZAR, Marcio Luiz; DAMASCENO, Benito; BOTTINO, Cassio Machado; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria; NITRINI, Ricardo; YASSUDA, Monica Sanches
    Background/Aims: We aimed to compare caregiver burden and distress in behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and to investigate which factors contribute to caregivers' burden and distress. Methods: Fifty patients and their care-givers were invited to participate. Among the patients, 20 had a diagnosis of bvFTD and 30 had AD. Caregivers and patients were statistically equivalent for age, sex, education and dementia severity according to Clinical Dementia Rating. The protocol included the Short Zarit Burden Inventory, the Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD), the Cornell Scale for Depression in Dementia (CSDD), Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised, the Executive Interview with 25 Items, Direct Assessment of Functional Status and the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI). Results: In the NPI, caregivers of bvFTD patients reported a higher presence and severity of neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregiver distress compared to caregivers of AD patients. There was no significant difference in the perceived burden. In bvFTD, DAD and GAI scores were significantly correlated with burden, whereas in AD, burden was correlated with CSDD and NPI scores. Psychiatric symptoms were associated with distress in both groups. Conclusions: Caregivers of bvFTD patients experienced higher levels of distress than caregivers of AD patients. Patients' functional limitations were associated with burden of caregivers of bvFTD patients, whereas neuropsychiatric symptoms were associated with caregiver strain in both groups. (C) 2015 S.

    Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease: A 12-Month Follow-Up Study
    (2021) SILVA, Thais Bento Lima Da; ORDONEZ, Tiago Nascimento; BREGOLA, Allan Gustavo; BAHIA, Valeria Santoro; CECCHINI, Mario Amore; GUIMARAES, Henrique Cerqueira; GAMBOGI, Leandro Boson; CARAMELLI, Paulo; BALTHAZAR, Marcio Luiz Figueredo; DAMASCENO, Benito Pereira; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; SOUZA, Leonardo Cruz de; NITRINI, Ricardo; YASSUDA, Monica Sanches
    Introduction: Neuropsychiatric symptoms in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are highly prevalent and may complicate clinical managements. Objective: To test whether the Neuropsychiatry Inventory (NPI) could detect change in neuropsychiatric symptoms and caregiver's distress in patients diagnosed with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) from baseline to a 12-month follow-up and to investigate possible predictors of change in NPI scores. Methods: The sample consisted of 31 patients diagnosed with bvFTD and 28 patients with AD and their caregivers. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R), the INECO Frontal Screening (IFS), the Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB), the Executive Interview (EXIT-25) and the NPI were applied. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test, Wilcoxon test, Chi square (chi(2)) test and Linear Regression Analysis were used. Results: NPI total and caregiver distress scores were statistically higher among bvFTD patients at both assessment points. MMSE, ACE-R scores significantly declined and NPI Total and Distress scores significantly increased in both groups. In the bvFTD group, age was the only independent predictor variable for the NPI total score at follow up. In the AD group, ACE-R and EXIT-25, conjunctively, were associated with the NPI total score at follow up. Conclusions: In 12 months, cognition declined and neuropsychiatric symptoms increased in bvFTD and AD groups. In the AD group only, cognitive impairment was a significant predictor of change in neuropsychiatric symptoms.

S.; DARE, Patricia; SMID, Jerusa; PORTO, Claudia S.; CARTHERY-GOULART, Maria T.; YASSUDA, Monica S.; MANSUR, Leticia L.; NITRINI, Ricardo
    Background:The prevalence of cognitive impairment is insufficiently determined in developing countries. The aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of cognitive impairment without dementia and dementia in community-dwelling elderly in Brazil.Methods:This was a single-phase cross-sectional survey of the elderly (aged 60 years and above) living in the municipality of Tremembe, Brazil. Twenty percent of the households with elderly persons were randomly selected from urban and rural areas, to obtain a homogenous representation of all socioeconomic and cultural levels.Results:We assessed 630 individuals [mean age, 71.3 y (7.99); mean years of education, 4.9 (+/- 4.54)] and found prevalence rates of 17.5% (95% confidence interval, 14.6-20.6) for dementia and 19.5% (95% confidence interval, 16.6-22.8) for cognitive impairment without dementia. These prevalence rates were influenced by age (P<0.001) and by educational level (P<0.001). There was no significant sex difference among diagnostic groups (P=0.166). The prevalence of dementia was higher in relatively younger individuals (below 70 y) when compared with other studies. Besides, dementia was associated with low socioeconomic status, stroke, previous psychiatric disorder, alcoholism, and epilepsy.Conclusions:The prevalence of dementia in this study was higher than in other studies, particularly among younger elderly.

    Adherence to the Mediterranean and MIND diets is associated with better cognition in healthy seniors but not in MCI or AD
    (2018) CALIL, Silvia R. B.; BRUCKI, Sonia M. D.; NITRINI, Ricardo; YASSUDA, Monica S.
    Background: Dietary habits have become the focus of intensive research in cognitive aging and neuro-degenerative diseases, showing potential to promote and maximize cognitive function. Aim: The aim was to investigate the association between the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean and MIND diets and cognitive performance in elderly with different cognitive profiles. Methods: Cross-sectional study with participants from neurology outpatient clinic. Participants: A total of 96 individuals were classified by a multidisciplinary team into normal controls (NC), individuals with mild cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer's disease. Measurements: The Brief Cognitive Screening Battery, Mini-Mental State Examination, and a 98-item food frequency questionnaire were applied. Anthropometric data were also collected. Adherence scores to the Mediterranean and MIND diets were subsequently calculated. Results: Clinical groups did not differ regarding body mass index or level of adherence to the diets. Greater adherence to the Mediterranean and MIND diets was associated with higher scores on the MMSE and BCSB Learning in the NC group only. Conclusions: Moderate adherence to the Mediterranean and MIND dietary patterns may be associated with better cognition among healthy seniors living in middle to low income countries.

    Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and applicability of the Brazilian version of the Frontotemporal Dementia Rating Scale (FTD-FRS)
    (2013) LIMA-SILVA, Thais Bento; BAHIA, Valéria Santoro; CARVALHO, Viviane Amaral; GUIMARÃES, Henrique Cerqueira; CARAMELLI, Paulo; BALTHAZAR, Márcio; DAMASCENO, Benito; BOTTINO, Cássio Machado de Campos; BRUCKI, Sônia Maria Dozzi; MIOSHI, Eneida; NITRINI, Ricardo; YASSUDA, Mônica Sanches
    ABSTRACT Background: Staging scales for dementia have been devised for grading Alzheimer's disease (AD) but do not include the specific symptoms of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Objective: To translate and adapt the Frontotemporal Dementia Rating Scale (FTD-FRS) to Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: The cross-cultural adaptation process consisted of the following steps: translation, back-translation (prepared by independent translators), discussion with specialists, and development of a final version after minor adjustments. A pilot application was carried out with 12 patients diagnosed with bvFTD and 11 with AD, matched for disease severity (CDR=1.0). The evaluation protocol included: Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Executive Interview (EXIT-25), Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), Frontotemporal Dementia Rating Scale (FTD-FRS) and Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR). Results: The Brazilian version of the FTD-FRS seemed appropriate for use in this country. Preliminary results revealed greater levels of disability in bvFTD than in AD patients (bvFTD: 25% mild, 50% moderate and 25% severe; AD: 36.36% mild, 63.64% moderate). It appears that the CDR underrates disease severity in bvFTD since a relevant proportion of patients rated as having mild dementia (CDR=1.0) in fact had moderate or severe levels of disability according to the FTD-FRS. Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the FTD-FRS seems suitable to aid staging and determining disease progression.

    Vocabulary Is an Appropriate Measure of Premorbid Intelligence in a Sample with Heterogeneous Educational Level in Brazil
    (2014) OLIVEIRA, Maira Okada de; NITRINI, Ricardo; YASSUDA, Mnica Sanches; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi
    Crystallized intelligence refers to one's knowledge base and can be measured by vocabulary tests. Fluid intelligence is related to nonverbal aspects of intelligence, depends very little on previously acquired knowledge, and can be measured by tests such as Block Design (BD) and Raven Colored Matrices (RCM). Premorbid intelligence quotient (IQ) refers to one's intellectual ability level previous to the onset of disorders like mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) and it is important to estimate disease severity. The objective was to compare performance in tests that measure crystallized and fluid intelligence in healthy subjects and patients with amnestic MCI (aMCI) and AD. One hundred forty-four participants (aMCI (n = 38), AD (n = 45), and healthy controls (n = 61)) were submitted to neuropsychological tests (WAIS-III vocabulary, BD, and RCM). There were significant among groups, except for vocabulary, indicating a relative stability of crystallized intelligence in the continuum from normal to pathological cognitive decline. Vocabulary seems to be stable during the progression of the disease and useful as a measure of premorbid intelligence, that is, to estimate previous function in relation to the level of education and, as a collateral measure of cognition in people with low education.
