Article Abstract

The impact of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy on dementia risk in high H. pylori prevalence populations remains uncertain. This study investigates the relationship between PUD, H. pylori eradication, and dementia risk, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), in an elderly South Korean cohort, considering age and eradication timing. Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (2002-2015) for individuals aged 55-79 were analyzed. Participants were divided based on PUD and H. pylori therapy status. Propensity score matching was used to evaluate dementia incidence and hazard ratios over 5 and 10 years, alongside the timing of eradication therapy. PUD is linked to higher dementia risk at 5 and 10 years, more for overall dementia than AD, with eradication status not significantly altering the risk. Age-specific analysis showed increased AD risk in the 60s and 70s age groups. Late eradication therapy is correlated with a higher dementia risk. PUD is a risk factor for dementia in elderly South Koreans, particularly with delayed H. pylori therapy. The findings emphasize timely H. pylori management and its potential role in neurodegenerative disease prevention.

Background: Early identification of pathological α-synuclein deposition (αSynD) may improve understanding of Lewy body disorder (LBD) progression and enable timely disease-modifying treatments.

Objectives: We investigated αSynD using a seed amplification assay and assessed prodromal LBD symptoms in individuals with idiopathic olfactory dysfunction (iOD).

Methods: In this cross-sectional, case-control study, we included iOD participants and normosmic healthy controls (HC) aged 55 to 75 years without diagnoses of dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease (PD), or other major neurological disorders.

Elucidating the earliest biological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD) is critical for advancing early detection strategies. While amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau pathologies have been central to preclinical AD research, the roles of peripheral biological processes in disease initiation remain underexplored. We investigated patterns of F-MK6240 tau positron emission tomography (PET) and peripheral inflammation across stages defined by Aβ burden and neuronal injury in n = 132 (64.

Introduction: Risperidone is approved for behaviors and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), despite modest efficacy and known risks. Identifying responsive symptoms, treatment modifiers, and predictors is crucial for personalized treatment.

Method: A one-stage individual participant data meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials (risperidone: n = 1009; placebo: N = 712) was conducted.
