Check out our mixed methods study of care partner experiences of burden following an amyloid PET scan! We found the scan result influenced care partners expectations and the emotional impact of their caregiving role. Full text 👇

@WheelerSimon When I was care worker, it was company policy to call for help if a client has fallen no matter the circumstances. Sometimes CWs can also feel powerless in these situations

@_ChrisAlbertyn @PhDStudents @demrescommunity I feel being “selfish” is important. Only you can give your thesis the respect and time it deserves. Wanting to do other things is a sign you’re ready to move on and should push to the end. It’s too easy to give vital time away to other ppl/projects. I schedule weekly ‘me’ time.

Determining how long beta-amyloid plaques have been building up in a person’s brain may help predict the course of their Alzheimer’s disease, according to recent NIA-funded research. Read more: https://t.co/qW5CWP0T8a

Saturation as a marker of #qualitative quality is overrated. However, if that's your goal, this systematic review is your friend.
It concludes that, given the right analytic practices, 9-17 interviews or 4-8 focus groups can lead to saturation. https://t.co/eIqmoqIrKg

✨ Excited to share the pre-proof of our latest open access paper, accepted and published in @J_Psychosom_Res. We conducted a systematic review & meta-analysis to investigate the association between anxiety symptoms and Alzheimer's disease biomarkers. https://t.co/wJOlSaTXaW ✨

A more precise diagnosis by means of amyloid PET contributes to delayed institutionalization, lower mortality, and reduced care costs in a tertiary memory clinic setting https://t.co/2xclOAkKEJ

[JAGS @AGSJournal]

ACP interventions, such as the PREPARE website and easy-to-read ADs focused on quality of life and preparation for medical decision making, rather than end-of-life procedures, may be more likely to result in goal concurrent care. #geriatrics #HaPC https://t.co/gjdi3L7xhA

Our new @alzheimerssoc funded work is out! We have found that ~50% of memory clinic patients sent for a clinical #amyloidPET had a history of depressive symptoms, with 89% of them experiencing ongoing symptoms at the time of the first visit to our Centre. https://t.co/Oa5MB6v1OS

CSF Biomarkers for dementia
Involved in dementia diagnosis? As per @NICEcomms & @AlzAssociation more patients should be offered CSF tests; @AshviniKeshavan @jmschott et al. @drcionucl @uclh describe how they do it from clinic setup to interpreting results
