    Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) are chronic, progressive disorders affecting the elderly, which fosters global healthcare concern with the growing aging population. Both T2DM and AD have been linked with increasing age, advanced glycosylation end products, obesity, and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance in the periphery is significant in the development of T2DM and it has been posited that insulin resistance in the brain plays a key role in AD pathogenesis, earning AD the name "type 3 diabetes". These clinical and epidemiological links between AD and T2DM have become increasingly pronounced throughout the years, and serve as a means to investigate the effects of antidiabetic therapies in AD, such as metformin, intranasal insulin, incretins, DPP4 inhibitors, PPAR-γ agonists, SGLT2 inhibitors. The majority of these drugs have shown benefit in preclinical trials, and have shown some promising results in clinical trials, with the improvement of cognitive faculties in participants with mild cognitive impairment and AD. In this review, we have summarize the benefits, risks, and conflicting data that currently exist for diabetic drugs being repurposed for the treatment of AD.

    Abstract Huge investments continue to be made in treatment for Alzheimer's disease (AD), with more than one hundred drugs currently in development. Pharmacological approaches and drug development, particularly those targeting amyloid-β, have dominated the therapeutic landscape. At the same time, there is also a growing interest in devices for treating AD. This review aimed to identify and describe devices under development for AD treatment. In this review, we queried the devices that are in development for the treatment of AD. PubMed was searched through the end of 2021 using the terms "device," "therapeutics," and "Alzheimer's" for articles that report on devices to treat AD. Ten devices with 31 references were identified as actively being developed for the treatment of AD. Many of these devices are far along in development. Device-based therapies are often overlooked when evaluating treatment approaches to AD. However, many devices for treating AD are in development and some show promising results.

    Abstract Introduction: Evidence from in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrates that amyloid beta (Aβ) oligomers have potent, broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties created by fibrils that entrap pathogens and disrupt their membranes. Data suggest that Aβ may play a protective role in the innate immune response to microbial infections and that Aβ in the brain plays a damaging role when the inflammatory response is not well controlled.

    Abstract Background: A once-weekly donepezil transdermal delivery system (TDS; Adlarity; Corium, LLC) is indicated for the treatment of mild, moderate, and severe dementia of the Alzheimer type.
    Methods: In this placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind phase 1 trial, healthy volunteers aged 40 years or older were randomized to receive a placebo and donepezil TDS and were evaluated for the primary endpoints of skin irritation and sensitization potential. Skin irritation was scored.
    Results: Two hundred fifty-six participants were randomized and received ≥1 dose of any treatment. After the first weekly TDS application, no skin irritation or minimal irritation was evident between donepezil and placebo TDSs. At the third weekly TDS application, for donepezil TDS, the average of the mean combined skin irritation score was 0.55 of a possible maximum of 7, indicating none to minimal skin irritation, and for placebo, the score was 0.19, indicating no skin irritation. Of 198 participants, 4 (2.0%) were considered potentially sensitized to donepezil TDS, and 0 were potentially sensitized to placebo TDS.
    Conclusion: Once-weekly 5-mg/d donepezil TDS demonstrated minimal skin irritation under conditions of use of 3 consecutive weekly patch applications to the same skin site and minimal sensitization potential.

    Abstract Introduction: Nearly a dozen monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against beta-amyloid (Aβ) have been developed for the treatment of Alzheimer disease (AD), and most of these mAbs are undergoing clinical trials. Newer mAbs have targeted more specific Aβ types. Lecanemab Eisai has a high affinity for large and soluble Aβ protofibrils. Data from phase 2 clinical trials have suggested the possibility of a robust efficacy signal and manageable risk of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIAs). Lecanemab is currently being studied in phase 3 trials.
    Areas covered: This article briefly reviews mAbs that target Aβ in AD and discusses the biology, mechanism of action, and targets of lecanemab.
    Expert opinion: mAbs that target Aβ are an important focus of therapeutic development for AD, with several soon to be considered for US Food and Drug Administration approval. The experience of aducanumab informs the development of other mAbs, such as lecanemab. One consideration is the conformation of Aβ targets. Targeting monomeric species has not resulted in robust clinical efficacy, whereas targeting Aβ in the form of oligomers, protofibrils, and plaques has shown evidence of slowing clinical decline. Another consideration is that mAbs will require safety monitoring for ARIAs.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the value of rescreening patients with Alzheimer's disease who do not meet the inclusion criteria for the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status Delayed Memory Index (RBANS DMI) at the initial assessment.
    Patients and methods: Participants (aged 50-85 years, without dementia, Mini-Mental State Examination score ≥22, valid Clinical Dementia Rating [CDR] global score, and amyloid status at baseline) were identified in the European Prevention of Alzheimer's Dementia database. Changes from baseline in RBANS DMI were estimated using a mixed model for repeated measurements. Logistic regressions were used to estimate the probability of participants with baseline RBANS DMI 86-95 having RBANS DMI ≤85, CDR global score ≥0.5, and amyloid positivity at 6 and 12 months.
    Results: There was significant variability in the change in RBANS DMI scores over time (median change at 6 months: 2.0). An estimated 15% of participants with RBANS DMI 86-95 at baseline progressed to ≤85 at 6 months; 8% also achieved CDR global score ≥0.5 and 5% were also amyloid positive.
    Conclusions: The results from our analysis indicate that there is limited value in rescreening patients based on their initial RBANS DMI score.

    Abstract Introduction: Cognitive impairment (CI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD) encompasses a decline in cognitive abilities and can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Early detection and intervention are crucial in managing CI, both in the preclinical and prodromal stages of AD prior to dementia.
    Methods: In this preliminary study, we investigated differences in resting-state functional connectivity and dynamic network properties between 23 individual with CI due to AD based on clinical assessment and 15 healthy controls (HC) using Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Dominant-Coactivation Pattern (d-CAP) analysis. The cognitive status of the two groups was also compared, and correlations between cognitive scores and d-CAP switching probability were examined.
    Results: Results showed comparable numbers of d-CAPs in the Default Mode Network (DMN), Executive Control Network (ECN), and Frontoparietal Network (FPN) between HC and CI groups. However, the Visual Network (VN) exhibited fewer d-CAPs in the CI group, suggesting altered dynamic properties of this network for the CI group. Additionally, ICA revealed significant connectivity differences for all networks. Spatial maps and effect size analyses indicated increased coactivation and more synchronized activity within the DMN in HC compared to CI. Furthermore, reduced switching probabilities were observed for the CI group in DMN, VN, and FPN networks, indicating less dynamic and flexible functional interactions.
    Discussion: The findings highlight altered connectivity patterns within the DMN, VN, ECN, and FPN, suggesting the involvement of multiple functional networks in CI. Understanding these brain processes may contribute to developing targeted diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for CI due to AD.
