“…DAT patients filled a demographic questionnaire and were evaluated by a geriatric psychiatrist at the Psychiatric Hospital "Fray Bernardino Alvarez." Dementia was diagnosed based on the DSM-IVR criteria since our study group found memory impairment and at least one other cortical function affected 13 . All the patients had a family history of Alzheimer's disease in at least one, first, or second degree relative, and fulfilled the criteria for probable Alzheimer's diagnosis according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's Disease Related Disorders Association 14 .…”

Background: Schizophrenia (SCZ) and dementia, often related, are two of the most common neuropsychiatric diseases; epidemiological studies have shown that SCZ patients present a 2-fold increased risk for dementia compared to non-schizophrenic individuals. We explored the presence of rare and novel damaging gene variants in patients diagnosed with late-onset dementia of Alzheimer's type (DAT) or SCZ. Methods: We included 7 DAT and 12 SCZ patients and performed high-depth targeted sequencing of 184 genes. Results: We found novel and rare damaging variants in 18 genes in these Mexican patients. Carriers of these variants showed extreme phenotypes, including, treatment-resistant SCZ or cognitive decline. Furthermore, we found a variation on ABCC1 as a possible link between psychosis and cognitive impairment. Discussion: As an exploratory analysis, we report some interesting variations that should be corroborated in larger sample size studies.

“…According to the Global Dementia Observatory, about 50 million people suffer from dementia and there are almost 10 million new cases per year, six million of them in low-and middle-income countries [5]. In fact, Brazil has the second highest age-standardised prevalence of dementia [6], studies found rates varying between 5.1% [7] and 17.5% [8], being the point prevalence of dementia and of major neurocognitive disorder in 2018, 6.2% and 8.1%, respectively [9].…”

Serious games are a promising tool in different scenarios, such as education and health; however, there has been little research reported on their specialized use for older adults. We created a digital cognitive test – with the characteristics of a serious game – using Unified Design aiming to reproduce digitally the results of clinical cognitive evaluation in older people. The digital cognitive test was submitted to two validation experiments targeting an older public (n=40) with little experience in dealing with tablets or smartphones. The first experiment did not show significant correlation, but from it, we implemented initiatives to simplify the tests, which brought a positive result regarding convergence analysis in the second experiment. We concluded that it is possible to use digital games as cognitive tests adapted to the needs of older adults to achieve similar results as those of paper-based cognitive tests.
