d'Abrera, J. C.; Holland, A. J.; Landt, J.; Stocks-Gee, G.; Zaman, S. H. – Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, 2013
Background: Research into specific illnesses and the development of new treatments may only become possible as new technologies become available. When used for research, such technologies may best be described as "intrusive", in that they require a considerable willingness and commitment on the part of the participants. This has…

Brayne, Carol; Ince, Paul G.; Keage, Hannah A. D.; McKeith, Ian G.; Matthews, Fiona E.; Polvikoski, Tuomo; Sulkava, Raimo – Brain, 2010
The potential protective role of education for dementia is an area of major interest. Almost all older people have some pathology in their brain at death but have not necessarily died with dementia. We have explored these two observations in large population-based cohort studies (Epidemiological Clinicopathological Studies in Europe; EClipSE) in…

Approximately 30% of healthy persons aged over 75 years show A[beta] deposition at autopsy. It is postulated that this represents preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD). We evaluated the relationship between A[beta] burden as assessed by PiB PET and cognitive decline in a well-characterized, non-demented, elderly cohort. PiB PET studies and…

Peisah, Carmelle; Snowdon, John; Kril, Jillian; Rodriguez, Michael – Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior, 2007
The neuropathological correlates of suicide in older persons have received little research attention. Our recent study of elderly suicide victims from an Australian forensic medicine department (n = 143), unlike a previous case-control study, did not find an increased prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in older persons who committed suicide…
