Age-associated deep-subcortical white matter lesions (DSCLs) are an independent risk factor for dementia, displaying high levels of CD68 + microglia. This study aimed to characterize the transcriptomic profile of microglia in DSCLs and surrounding r...

Associations between multimorbidity and neuropathology in dementia: a case for considering functional cognitive disorders, psychiatric illness, and dementia mimics (2024)
Journal Article
Hamilton, C. A., Matthews, F. E., Attems, J., Donaghy, P. C., Taylor, J., & Thomas, A. J. (in press). Associations between multimorbidity and neuropathology in dementia: a case for considering functional cognitive disorders, psychiatric illness, and dementia mimics. British Journal of Psychiatry, https://doi.org/10.1192/bjp.2024.25

Cognitive impairment in older people has a variety of underlying causes. In addition to neurodegenerative causes such as Alzheimer's disease, a dementia-like cognitive disorder may appear due to non-degenerative factors. Multimorbidity has been previ...

BMC Geriatrics, 24(1), Article 171. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12877-024-04707-w

Objectives: Longitudinal evidence documenting health conditions in spousal caregivers of people with dementia and whether these influence caregivers’ outcomes is scarce. This study explores type and number of health conditions over two years in careg...

Background Most people with dementia have multiple health conditions. This study explores (1) number and type of health condition(s) in people with dementia overall and in relation to age, sex, dementia type, and cognition; (2) change in number of h...
