  • Parkinson Disease-Associated Cognitive Impairment
    PRIMER Parkinson disease-associated cognitive impairment Dag Aarsland 1,2 ✉ , Lucia Batzu 3, Glenda M. Halliday 4, Gert J. Geurtsen 5, Clive Ballard 6, K. Ray Chaudhuri 3 and Daniel Weintraub7,8 Abstract | Parkinson disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, affecting >1% of the population ≥65 years of age and with a prevalence set to double by 2030. In addition to the defining motor symptoms of PD, multiple non-motor symptoms occur; among them, cognitive impairment is common and can potentially occur at any disease stage. Cognitive decline is usually slow and insidious, but rapid in some cases. Recently, the focus has been on the early cognitive changes, where executive and visuospatial impairments are typical and can be accompanied by memory impairment, increasing the risk for early progression to dementia. Other risk factors for early progression to dementia include visual hallucinations, older age and biomarker changes such as cortical atrophy, as well as Alzheimer-type changes on functional imaging and in cerebrospinal fluid, and slowing and frequency variation on EEG. However, the mechanisms underlying cognitive decline in PD remain largely unclear. Cortical involvement of Lewy body and Alzheimer-type pathologies are key features, but multiple mechanisms are likely involved. Cholinesterase inhibition is the only high-level evidence-based treatment available, but other pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies are being tested. Challenges include the identification of disease-modifying therapies as well as finding biomarkers to better predict cognitive decline and identify patients at high risk for early and rapid cognitive impairment. Parkinson disease (PD) is the most common movement The full spectrum of cognitive impairment occurs in disorder and the second most common neurodegenera­ individuals with PD, from subjective cognitive decline tive disorder after Alzheimer disease (AD).

  • NASPA President's Report
    Kevin Kruger NASPA President March 2014 – March 2015 Report NASPA President’s Report NA The complexity of issues facing higher education and student affairs is really quite extraordinary. This creates both a challenge and a unique opportunity for NASPA. It is easy to be a mile wide and inch deep – but the complexity demands more than that and our members increasingly expect substance and expertise on a wide range of topics and issues. Overall, as reflected in this report, I think NASPA has been very successful in meeting this challenge. This past year, we have increased our capacity to cover new areas, while maintaining the quality of existing programmatic efforts. The list below is an abbreviated list of topics and constituent based programs that have been successfully addressed this past year: Constituent Based Programs Alice Manicur Symposium Careers in Student Affairs Month Programming New CSAO Institute Graduate Associate Program Aspiring CSAO Institute BACCHUS Programs & Peer Education AVP, “Number Two” Institute Mid-Level Institute & New Professionals Institute Small Colleges & University Institute NASPA Gulf/MENASA Conference Community Colleges Institute NASPA IASAS Global Summit NUFP Dungy Leadership Institute International Symposium Undergraduate Women’s Leadership Content Based Programs Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Prevention Student Veterans and Active Duty Military Students Prescription Drug Misuse Student Affairs Fundraising Mental Health Technology in Student Affairs Violence Prevention Civic and Democratic Engagement Gender-based Violence, Sexual Assault and Title IX Law and Policy Campus Protest Student Affairs Assessment Equity, Inclusion, & Multicultural Issues and Programs Adult Learner Persistence and Completion Leadership Development and Leadership Educators Students with Disabilities and the ADA There would be little argument that the roles of student affairs professionals have expanded and become more complex in the last five years.
