TL;DR: The intervention had an equal effect on cognition in those with mild (MMSE score ⩾20) and moderate (score < 20) dementia and no significant effect was observed for behavioural and functional outcomes.

TL;DR: A patient with progressive left hemisphere atrophy who presented a lexical retrieval deficit more pronounced in naming non-living items than in naming living items confirms that living and non- Living categories may dissociate and that distinct neural systems subsume their knowledge.

TL;DR: The results of the present study confirm that σ4 allele seems to be associated with an increased risk for sporadic AD, while the significant decrease of σ2 allele frequency in the LOAD group supports the hypothesis of a possible protective role of ρ2 allele in AD.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the high levels of NCAM found in the CSF of improving MS patients treated with steroids did not contain a quota of PSA-NCAM, but only the unsialylated soluble form of the molecule.

TL;DR: The results suggest that semantic impairment begins with difficulties in using the associative relations that link concepts together in the semantic memory of patients with mild AD dementia (and possibly in individuals with mild cognitive impairment).
