Q: if monoclonal antibodies for Alzheimer's were available now, how many people in the UK would be eligible?

A: 30,200 people/yr (less than expected) applying trial criteria to real populations in Cambridge + South London.

When to order neuroimaging in first episode psychosis - for everyone or just if we have suspicions of an ‘organic’ cause?

We looked at MRI scan reports in people with first episode psychosis (n=1,486) using Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) to find out

Paper out now and open access: @NIHRMaudsleyBRC CRIS study showing that people with MCI and loneliness or relationship problems had a higher risk of being diagnosed with dementia later. A potentially modifiable target for intervention at the MCI stage.
