Depression outcome among a biracial sample of depressed urban elders.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION:: Depressed community elders in Brooklyn have highly unfavorable outcomes. Preventive strategies that target at-risk persons-i.e., especially those with baseline subsyndromal depression, greater anxiety symptoms, and more paranoid ideation and/or psychoses-may reduce the development of severe or persistent depression.

Use of latent variable modeling to delineate psychiatric and cognitive profiles in Parkinson disease.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS:: LCA delineates four classes of patients in mild-moderate PD, three of which experience significant nonmotor impairments and comprise over two thirds of patients. Neuropsychiatric symptoms and cognitive deficits follow distinct patterns in PD, and further study is needed to determine whether these classes are generalizable, stable, predict function, quality of life, and long-term outcomes and are amenable to treatment at a class level.

CONCLUSION: The specific attributable benefits of BPST cannot be determined from an open trial.

Prevalence of mood, anxiety, and substance-abuse disorders for older Americans in the national comorbidity survey-replication.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: This study documents the continued pattern of lower rates of formal diagnoses for elders. These rates likely underestimate the burden of late-life psychiatric disorders, given the potential for underdiagnosis, clinical significance of subthreshold symptoms, and lack of representation from high-risk older adults (e.g., medically ill, long-term care residents).

Predictors of new onset depression in medically ill, disabled older adults at 1 year follow-up.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: These findings underscore the significant fluctuations in both depression and disability in high-risk older adults and suggest that both persistent and new onset disability increase the risk of depression.

Apathy is not associated with basal ganglia atrophy in frontotemporal dementia.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings imply that the etiology of apathy seen in patients with FTD differs from that of patients with apathy after acquired injuries to the basal ganglia. Further study is needed to determine whether posterior thalamic atrophy correlates with apathy in FTD or functional imaging techniques might successfully find a relationship between basal ganglia dysfunction and apathy.

A longitudinal community-based study of chronic illness, cognitive and physical function, and depression.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Chronic illness, physical function, and cognitive function all independently predict depressive morbidity in late-life. The CIDI-S appeared less informative about these key relationships when compared to the CESD-8. The significance of depressive symptoms was demonstrated by their independent association with all-cause mortality at 2-year follow-up.

CONCLUSION: Although onset of ANXDEP demonstrated communality in risk factors, comparing risk factors associated with DEP and ANX revealed more differences than similarities.

CONCLUSION:: Cognitive exercise training in healthy older individuals produces strong and persistent protective effects on longitudinal neuropsychological performance. Transfer of these effects to dementia-relevant domains such as general cognition and daily functioning has also been reported in some studies.
