The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This fully updated and revised chapter comprehensively reviews the latest evidence on diagnosis, assessment, investigations, clinical features, management, risk factors, prognosis, and future potential treatments for AD. Importantly, the chapter explores newer evidence that has changed the way AD is viewed as regards methods of assessment using various scales to determine diagnosis, as well as current and investigative methods of treating AD. Finally, it looks at the states of disease progression, potential disease-modifying drugs for Alzheimer’s disease, and possible therapeutic approaches to treatment and management.","PeriodicalId":101216,"journal":{"name":"The American Journal of Medicine Supplements","volume":"81 1 1","pages":"91-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86590684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Nasal Feeding Tubes Are Associated With Fewer Adverse Events Than Feeding Via Ostomy in Hospitalized Patients Receiving Enteral Nutrition.","authors":"Chip A. Bowman, Elizabeth Hutchins, Marissa Burgermaster, V. Sant, D.

These policies lack supportive evidence. Comparisons of adverse event rates between surgical and natural orifice tubes are few, and lacking in the inpatient setting. Additionally, we hypothesize that adverse events related to feeding tubes are under-reported. We sought to quantify adverse events to test the relative safety of surgical feeding ostomies and natural orifice (e.g. nasogastric or orogastric) feeding tubes in hospitalized patients.\u0000\u0000\u0000METHODS\u0000A prospective observational cohort study of enterally fed inpatients using semiweekly focused physical exam, scripted survey, and chart review.\u0000\u0000\u0000RESULTS\u0000All tube-fed patients admitted to a large, urban, adacemic hospital received semi-weekly bedside evaluation and chart review over a 9 week period (n = 226 unique patients, mean 6.25 visits each, total 1118 observations). Demographics were comparable between 148 subjects with natural orifice and 113 subjects with surgical feeding tubes. A higher incidence of adverse events were observed with surgical tubes (3.34 versus 1.25 events per 100 subject days, p<0.001). Only 50% of all adverse events were documented in the medical record. More patients with surgical tubes were discharged to skilled nursing facilities (58% versus 24%).\u0000\u0000\u0000CONCLUSIONS\u0000Surgical feeding tubes are associated with significantly higher in-hospital adverse events rates when compared to natural orifice (nasal/oral) feeding tubes. Policies requiring surgical feeding ostomies should be reevaluated.\u0000\u0000\u0000FUNDING\u0000National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (Burgermaster-training grant T32 HL 7343-37).","PeriodicalId":101216,"journal":{"name":"The American Journal of Medicine Supplements","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79644908","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
