This workshop is organized by Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto, MD, PhD, from The Douglas Research Centre, 看片视频 University, and The Neuro. The event will focus on discussing the indications, prescription, and management of adverse events associated with anti-amyloid therapy using monoclonal antibodies.

The workshop will provide valuable insights into the latest treatment strategies and guidelines, aiming to equip healthcare researchers and professionals with the necessary tools to manage and prescribe anti-amyloid therapies effectively. Additionally, it will help enhance the knowledge and skills required to handle adverse effects associated with these treatments.

罢补濒办:听Diagnosis and Treatment of Early听 Symptomatic Alzheimer鈥檚 Disease

Abstract: The early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer鈥檚 disease in patients with cognitive impairment is more important than ever now that disease-modifying treatments are becoming available. This lecture will describe how to diagnose early symptomatic Alzheimer鈥檚 disease by integrating clinical information with biomarker tests. The advantages and disadvantages of amyloid PET, CSF biomarkers, and new blood biomarkers will be reviewed with a focus on clinical blood biomarker tests. Further, the identification, treatment, and monitoring of appropriate patients for anti-amyloid treatments will be discussed. Real-world data and experience with biomarker testing and anti-amyloid treatments from the Washington University Memory Diagnostic Center will be detailed.

叠颈辞:听Dr. Schindler is a clinical neurologist and dementia specialist. Dr. Schindler is also trained as a neuroscientist and her overall research goal is to improve the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer disease and related disorders. Dr. Schindler's recent research has been on developing and testing fluid (blood and CSF) biomarkers for Alzheimer disease and is currently working towards predicting if and when cognitively normal individuals will develop symptoms of Alzheimer disease dementia based on a single blood or CSF sample and individual characteristics.

罢补濒办:听Amyloid Related Imaging Abnormalities (ARIA)

Abstract: Amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) are imaging changes associated with beta-amyloid plaque-lowering monoclonal antibodies for treatment of early clinical stage Alzheimer鈥檚 disease (AD) that can be observed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ARIA-E refers to vasogenic edema in the brain parenchyma and/or leptomeningeal/subpial sulcal effusion; ARIA-H refers to hemosiderin deposits including cerebral microhemorrhage and localized superficial siderosis. ARIA can result in symptomatic adverse events and poor outcomes if not detected, monitored and managed through timely, coordinated and appropriate practices. A spectrum of radiographic and clinical presentations of ARIA have been observed and with the emerging availability of lecanemab and donanemab there is an important need for ARIA awareness, coordination and proficiency among a diversity of clinicians and practice settings. This presentation will discuss current understanding and learnings about the nature and factors associated with ARIA; the varied radiographic and clinical presentations of ARIA; and detection, monitoring and management strategies for that can increase knowledge and proficiency for clinicians and researchers to care for persons treated with AD amyloid plaque-lowering monoclonal antibodies.
