TL;DR: The Montreal Cognitive Assessment has adequate psychometric properties as a screening instrument for the detection of mild cognitive impairment or dementia in Parkinson disease, however, a positive screen using either instrument requires additional assessment due to suboptimal specificity at the recommended screening cutoff point.

TL;DR: Cognitive therapy was effective in preventing suicide attempts for adults who recently attempted suicide and reported significantly less hopelessness than the usual care group at 6 months and 18 months.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effectiveness of a 10-session cognitive therapy inter-vention designed to prevent repeated suicide attempts in a randomized controlled trial of 120 individuals who attempted suicide and were evaluated at a hospital emergency department within 48 hours of the attempt.

TL;DR: Concurrent cerebrovascular disease is a common neuropathological finding in aged subjects with dementia, is more common in Alzheimer's disease than in other neurodegenerative disorders, especially in younger subjects, and lowers the threshold for dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease and α-synucleinopathies, which suggests that these disorders should be targeted by treatments for cerebroVascular disease.

TL;DR: A study was undertaken to examine the neuropathological substrates of cognitive dysfunction and dementia in Parkinson disease (PD).
