TL;DR: There is a clear need for brief, but sensitive and specific, cognitive screening instruments as evidenced by the popularity of the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination (ACE).

TL;DR: Frontotemporal dementia is a more common cause of early-onset dementia than previously recognized and appears to be more common in men.

TL;DR: The ability of dimethylfumarate to activate nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-related factor 2 may offer a novel cytoprotective modality that further augments the natural antioxidant responses in multiple sclerosis tissue and is not yet targeted by other multiple sclerosis therapies.

TL;DR: Key features of this study include the revised diagnostic criteria with improved specificity and sensitivity, an unrestricted age range, and simultaneous assessment of multiple FTLD syndromes, which increases beyond 65 years, with frequent genetic causes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe features in a consecutive series of 100 patients seen over a 17-year period; all cases were assessed and followed up in a specialist clinic and the mean age at diagnosis was 64.2 (±7.1) range 40-79 years, but 46 presented after age 65 and 7 after 75; a higher proportion than the existing literature might predict.
