Addressing Mild Cognitive Impairment and Boosting Wellness for the Elderly through Personalized Remote Monitoring

ABSTRACT: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may occur with old age and is associated with increased cognitive deterioration compared to what is normal. This may affect the person’s quality of life, health, and independence. In this ageing worldwide context, early diagnosis and personalized assistance for MCI therefore become crucial. This paper makes two important contributions: (1) a system (RO-SmartAgeing) to address MCI, which was developed for Romania; and (2) a set of criteria for evaluating its impact on remote health monitoring. The system aims to provide customized non-invasive remote monitoring, health assessment, and assistance for the elderly within a smart environment set up in their homes. Moreover, it includes multivariate AI-based predictive models that can detect the onset of MCI and its development towards dementia. It was built iteratively, following literature reviews and consultations with health specialists, and it is currently being tested in a simulated home environment. While its main strength is the potential to detect MCI early and follow its evolution, RO-SmartAgeing also supports elderly people in living independently, and it is safe, comfortable, low cost, and privacy protected. Moreover, it can be used by healthcare institutions to continuously monitor a patient’s vital signs, position, and activities, and to deliver reminders and alarms.

Mild Cognitive Impairment Subtypes in a Cohort of Elderly Essential Tremor Cases.

Project description:Individuals with essential tremor (ET) exhibit a range of cognitive deficits generally conceptualized as "dysexecutive" or "fronto-subcortical," and thought to reflect disrupted cortico-cerebellar networks. In light of emerging evidence that ET increases risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), it is critical to more closely examine the nature of specific cognitive deficits in ET, with particular attention to amnestic deficits that may signal early AD.We performed a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from 128 ET cases (age 80.4±9.5 years) enrolled in a longitudinal, clinical-pathological study. Cases underwent a comprehensive battery of motor-free neuropsychological tests and a functional assessment to inform clinical diagnoses of normal cognition (ET-NC), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) (ET-MCI), or dementia (ET-D). ET-MCI was subdivided into subtypes including: amnestic single-domain (a-MCI), amnestic multi-domain (a-MCI+), non-amnestic single-domain (na-MCI), or non-amnestic multi-domain (na-MCI+).Ninety-one (71.1%) cases were ET-NC, 24 (18.8%) were ET-MCI, and 13 (10.2%) were ET-D. Within MCI, the a-MCI+ subtype was the most common (13/24; 54.2%) followed by a-MCI (4/24; 16.7%), na-MCI+ (4/24; 16.7%), and na-MCI (3/24; 12.5%). Cases with amnestic MCI demonstrated lower recognition memory Z-scores (-2.4±1.7) than non-amnestic groups (-0.9±1.2) (p=.042).Amnestic MCI, defined by impaired memory recall but associated with lower memory storage scores, was the most frequent MCI subtype in our study. Such impairment has not been explicitly discussed in the context of ET and may be an early hallmark of AD. Results have implications for the prognosis of specific cognitive deficits in ET.

Elderly Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment Exhibit Altered Gut Microbiota Profiles.

Project description:BackgroundAs a transitional state between normal aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is characterized by a worse cognitive decline than that of natural aging. The association between AD and gut microbiota has been reported in a number of studies; however, microbial research regarding MCI remains limited.MethodsThis study examined 48 participants, of whom 22 were MCI cases and 26 were normal control cases. Fecal samples were collected for 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) quantitative arrays and bioinformatics analysis.ResultsA principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) and nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) both demonstrated that the microbial composition of participants with MCI deviated from that of healthy control participants. Multiple bacterial species were significantly increased (e.g., Staphylococcus intermedius) or decreased (e.g., Bacteroides salyersiae) in samples from the MCI group.ConclusionThe composition of gut microbiota differed between normal control and MCI cases. This is the first study to identify a signature series of species in the gut microbiota of individuals with MCI. The results provide a new direction for the future development of an early diagnosis and probiotic regimen.

Identification of Dementia & Mild Cognitive Impairment in Chinese Elderly Using Machine Learning.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess the role of Machine Learning (ML) in identification critical factors of dementia and mild cognitive impairment.Methods371 elderly individuals were ultimately included in the ML analysis. Demographic information (including gender, age, parity, visual acuity, auditory function, mobility, and medication history) and 35 features from 10 assessment scales were used for modeling. Five machine learning classifiers were used for evaluation, employing a procedure involving feature extraction, selection, model training, and performance assessment to identify key indicative factors.ResultsThe Random Forest model, after data preprocessing, Information Gain, and Meta-analysis, utilized three training features and four meta-features, achieving an area under the curve of 0.961 and a accuracy of 0.894, showcasing exceptional accuracy for the identification of dementia and mild cognitive impairment.ConclusionsML serves as a identification tool for dementia and mild cognitive impairment. Using Information Gain and Meta-feature analysis, Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) and Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) scale information emerged as crucial for training the Random Forest model.

MULTIMODAL PERSONALIZED CHRONOTHERAPY IMPROVES SLEEP IN ADULTS WITH MILD COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT: A RANDOMIZED TRIAL

Project description:Abstract Poor sleep is common among older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and may contribute to their increased risk for dementia. Chronotherapy is a set of intervention strategies which can improve sleep quality by strengthening the entrainment of the biological clock to the solar light-dark cycle, and includes strategies such as: 1) bright light therapy (BLT); 2) physical activity (PA); and 3) good sleep hygiene. Thus, in this 24-week randomized controlled trial (RCT; NCT02926157), we aimed to examine the efficacy of a multimodal, personalized chronotherapy intervention to improve sleep quality among older adults with MCI. Ninety-six older adults (65+ years) with MCI were randomized to either: 1) a multimodal personalized chronotherapy group (INT); or 2) a waitlist-plus-education control group (CON). Participants allocated to the INT received four once-weekly, general sleep hygiene education classes, followed by 20 weeks of 1) individually-timed BLT; and 2) bi-weekly, individually-tailored PA counselling in conjunction with receiving a consumer-available PA tracker (Fitbit® FlexTM). We found a significant group x time interaction for objectively measured sleep fragmentation (5.01; p< 0.01) and also for Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) score (p= 0.03), such that the INT: 1) maintained sleep fragmentation while CON worsened at 12 weeks (p< 0.01); and 2) had improved PSQI score compared to CON at both 12 weeks (p< 0.01) and 24 weeks (p= 0.04). Our results provide novel evidence that a multimodal personalized chronotherapy approach may promote both objective and subjective aspects of sleep quality in older adults with MCI.

Brain structural, functional, and cognitive correlates of recent versus remote autobiographical memories in amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment.

Project description:Deficits in autobiographical memory appear earlier for recent than for remote life periods over the course of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The present study aims to further our understanding of this graded effect by investigating the cognitive and neural substrates of recent versus remote autobiographical memories in patients with amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment (aMCI) thanks to an autobiographical fluency task. 20 aMCI patients and 25 Healthy elderly Controls (HC) underwent neuropsychological tests assessing remote (20-to-30 years old) and recent (the ten last years) autobiographical memory as well as episodic and semantic memory, executive function and global cognition. All patients also had a structural MRI and an FDG-PET scan. Correlations were assessed between each autobiographical memory score and the other tests as well as grey matter volume and metabolism. Within the aMCI, performances for the remote period correlated with personal semantic memory and episodic memory retrieval whereas performances for the recent period only correlated with episodic memory retrieval. Neuroimaging analyses revealed significant correlations between performances for the remote period and temporal pole and temporo-parietal cortex volumes and anterior cingulate gyrus metabolism, while performances for the recent period correlated with hippocampal volume and posterior cingulate, medial prefrontal and hippocampus metabolism. The brain regions related with the retrieval of events from the recent period showed greater atrophy/hypometabolism in aMCI patients compared to HC than those involved in remote memories. Recall of recent memories essentially relies on episodic memory processes and brain network while remote memories also involve other processes such as semantic memory. This is consistent with the semanticization of memories with time and may explain the better resistance of remote memory in AD.

Intrinsic connectivity of hippocampal subfields in normal elderly and mild cognitive impairment patients.

Project description:Hippocampal connectivity has been widely described but connectivity specificities of hippocampal subfields and their changes in early AD are poorly known. The aim of this study was to highlight hippocampal subfield networks in healthy elderly (HE) and their changes in amnestic patients with mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Thirty-six HE and 27 aMCI patients underwent resting-state functional MRI scans. Specific intrinsic connectivity of bilateral CA1, SUB (subiculum), and CA2/3/4/DG was identified in HE (using seeds derived from manually delineation on high-resolution scans) and compared between HE and aMCI. Compared to the other subfields, CA1 was more strongly connected to the amygdala and occipital regions, CA2/3/4/DG to the left anterior cingulate cortex, temporal, and occipital regions, and SUB to the angular, precuneus, putamen, posterior cingulate, and frontal regions. aMCI patients showed reduced connectivity within the SUB network (with frontal and posterior cingulate regions). Our study highlighted for the first time three specific and distinct hippocampal subfield functional networks in HE, and their alterations in aMCI. These findings are important to understand AD specificities in both cognitive deficits and lesion topography, given the role of functional connectivity in these processes.

Proteomic study of amnestic mild cognitive impairment

Project description:Amnestic MCI is often considered an early clinical stage of AD, but its subtle presentation leads to infrequent neurological evaluations. Early plasma biomarker screening during routine check-ups in community hospitals could enhance aMCI detection rates. Advances in proteomics, particularly mass spectrometry, have enabled the detection of low-abundance plasma proteins, opening new possibilities for aMCI biomarker identification. This study included 84 participants from the STAR cohort. We utilized deep plasma proteomics to detect low-abundance proteins, enriched with biofunctional magnetic beads. An early diagnostic model for aMCI was developed through bioinformatics and machine learning, with performance compared to the Simoa assay.
