Broadly analogous to the behavioral and psychological symptoms that plague dementia, the neuropsychiatric disturbances (NPD) of delirium pose significant burdens to patients, their loved ones, and clinicians. Moreover, these disturbances are often the most salient aspect of delirium, causing distress and placing patients and those around them at risk of harm. The field’s limited understanding of delirium’s NPD could also be a key reason why the pharmacology of delirium remains underdeveloped. In this narrative review, we propose clinically relevant neuropsychiatric syndromes in delirium, along with provisional definitions. We then discuss evidence for potential pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions for each, both within the context of delirium and in other conditions, especially where these syndromes also occur in dementia. Candidate syndromes include excessive psychomotor activity and the related akathisia; inadequate psychomotor activity, either as reduced arousal or as avolition; psychosis, including perceptual disturbances and erroneous beliefs; emotional disturbances, either as affective dysregulation or as anxious distress; catatonia; and sleep-wake disturbances. The NPD of delirium should be differentiated from the global cognitive impairment of delirium as they often warrant independent clinical attention. The failure to tailor treatments to specific syndromes—for instance, treating akathisia in delirium with an antipsychotic, leading to greater behavioral activation—stands not only to prolong distress but also to worsen clinical outcomes. These syndromes deserve greater awareness and conceptual refinement to inform clinical management and to identify novel avenues for research.
与困扰痴呆的行为和心理症状大致相似,谵妄的神经精神障碍(NPD)给患者、他们的亲人和临床医生带来了巨大的负担。此外,这些干扰往往是谵妄最显著的方面,造成痛苦并使患者及其周围的人处于伤害的危险之中。该领域对谵妄NPD的有限理解也可能是谵妄药理学仍然不发达的关键原因。在这个叙述性的回顾,我们提出临床相关的神经精神综合征谵妄,以及临时的定义。然后,我们讨论了在谵妄和其他情况下,特别是在痴呆症中也发生这些综合征的情况下,每种症状的潜在药物和非药物干预的证据。候选症状包括过度的精神运动活动和相关的静坐症;精神运动活动不足,表现为觉醒减少或不自觉;精神病,包括知觉障碍和错误信念;情绪障碍,无论是情感失调还是焦虑困扰;紧张症;以及睡眠-觉醒障碍。谵妄的NPD应与谵妄的整体认知障碍区分开来,因为它们通常需要独立的临床关注。未能针对特定症状量身定制治疗——例如,用抗精神病药物治疗谵妄中的静坐症,导致更大的行为激活——不仅会延长痛苦,还会恶化临床结果。这些综合征应该得到更多的认识和概念改进,以告知临床管理和确定新的研究途径。

Public trust in research and scientific advances appears to be deteriorating. It behooves us, as researchers and educators, to take more responsibility for improving our communication strategies to reach the public and explain the value and relevance of our work to their lives. To address this need, the Training Program in Population Neuroscience of Aging at the University of Pittsburgh piloted a seminar on writing for the media, focusing on the local Western Pennsylvania audience. Six graduate and postdoctoral trainees in public health attended the seminar. Instructors besides public health faculty included local newspaper editors and science communication specialists working at the National Institutes of Health, at an advocacy organization, and at our university’s own communications program. In weekly seminar sessions, instructors discussed audiences, motivations, and formats for science writing. Trainees pitched story ideas, shared proposed outlines, and obtained ongoing feedback from instructors and fellow trainees. Over the course of several weeks, trainees prepared op-ed style articles for potential newspaper publication. Four of the six trainees succeeded in publishing articles in the local newspaper. A course to learn how to write for the public is both feasible and needed in academic settings.
公众对研究和科学进步的信任似乎正在恶化。作为研究人员和教育工作者,我们应该承担更多的责任,改善我们的沟通策略,以接触公众,并解释我们的工作对他们生活的价值和相关性。为了满足这一需求,匹兹堡大学的人口神经科学老龄化培训计划试点了一个针对媒体写作的研讨会,重点关注宾夕法尼亚州西部当地的观众。6名公共卫生研究生和博士后学员参加了研讨会。除了公共卫生教师之外,还有当地的报纸编辑和科学传播专家,他们在国家卫生研究院、一个倡导组织和我们大学自己的传播项目中工作。在每周的研讨会上,教师讨论科学写作的受众、动机和格式。学员们提出故事的想法,分享建议的大纲,并从导师和其他学员那里获得持续的反馈。在几周的时间里,学员们准备了一些专栏式的文章,准备在报纸上发表。6名学员中有4人成功地在当地报纸上发表了文章。在学术环境中,开设一门学习如何为公众写作的课程既是可行的,也是必要的。

Background

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia is the leading cause of cognitive decline in late life, yet treatment options remain limited. Lithium, widely used in bipolar disorder, has been suggested to exert neuroprotective effects through inhibition of GSK-3β and modulation of amyloid and tau pathology. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of lithium in AD dementia.

Methods

This systematic review and meta-analysis was prospectively registered in PROSPERO and conducted following PRISMA guidelines. We searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library through April 2025 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing lithium with placebo or standard therapy in patients with AD dementia or amnestic mild cognitive impairment. Outcomes included cognition (MMSE, ADAS-Cog, memory tasks), function (CDR-SB, conversion to AD), neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPI), CSF biomarkers, and safety (adverse events [AEs], serious AEs [SAEs]). Random-effects meta-analyses were complemented by Bayesian methods and trial sequential analyses.

Results

Six RCTs involving 394 participants (196 lithium, 198 placebo) met inclusion criteria. Lithium did not significantly improve global cognition (MMSE: MD −1.61, 95% CI −4.11 to 0.88; ADAS-Cog: MD −1.82, −3.05 to −0.60; both with high heterogeneity). Memory outcomes were mixed, with possible benefit for figure recall but not delayed verbal recall. No consistent benefits were observed for episodic memory, functional outcomes (CDR-SB), neuropsychiatric symptoms, or CSF biomarkers. Safety analyses showed no increased risk of SAEs; drug-related AEs were more frequent but heterogeneous across trials.

Conclusions

Lithium demonstrated an acceptable safety profile within the dosing regimens studied. However, current evidence does not support consistent cognitive or functional benefits in AD dementia. Larger, well-designed RCTs are warranted to clarify its potential therapeutic role.
背景:阿尔茨海默病(AD)痴呆是晚年认知能力下降的主要原因,但治疗选择仍然有限。锂广泛应用于双相情感障碍,已被认为通过抑制GSK-3β和调节淀粉样蛋白和tau病理来发挥神经保护作用。我们的目的是评估锂治疗阿尔茨海默病的疗效和安全性。方法:该系统评价和荟萃分析在PROSPERO前瞻性注册,并遵循PRISMA指南进行。我们检索了PubMed、Embase和Cochrane图书馆到2025年4月的随机对照试验(rct),比较锂与安慰剂或标准治疗在AD痴呆或遗忘性轻度认知障碍患者中的疗效。结果包括认知(MMSE, ADAS-Cog,记忆任务),功能(CDR-SB,转化为AD),神经精神症状(NPI), CSF生物标志物和安全性(不良事件[ae],严重ae [sae])。随机效应荟萃分析辅以贝叶斯方法和试验序列分析。结果:6项rct共394名受试者(196名服用锂,198名服用安慰剂)符合纳入标准。锂没有显著改善整体认知(MMSE: MD -1.61, 95% CI -4.11至0.88;ADAS-Cog: MD -1.82, -3.05至-0.60,两者均具有高度异质性)。记忆结果好坏参半,可能有利于图形回忆,但不利于延迟的言语回忆。在情节记忆、功能结局(CDR-SB)、神经精神症状或脑脊液生物标志物方面没有观察到一致的益处。安全性分析显示,SAEs的风险没有增加;与药物相关的不良反应更频繁,但在不同的试验中存在异质性。结论:在研究的给药方案中,锂具有可接受的安全性。然而,目前的证据并不支持阿尔茨海默氏症对认知或功能的一致益处。需要更大规模、设计良好的随机对照试验来阐明其潜在的治疗作用。

Objectives

Late-life suicidality is rapidly increasing; psychotherapy may reduce suicidality, but trajectories of change in suicidality remain unclear. A strong therapeutic alliance may protect against persistent suicidality. We examined the association of alliance with suicidality trajectories during brief, remote interventions for depression.

Methods

Sixty middle-aged and older adults with major depression were randomized to brief remote psychosocial interventions. Suicidality and alliance were assessed during treatment. Patients’ suicidality trajectories were classified as: 1) absent; 2) improved; 3) persistent, based on pre- to post-treatment changes. All three groups were included in mixed-effects models to examine the association between suicidality and alliance.

Results

At baseline, 53% of patients endorsed suicidality, with 45% in the absent group, 45% improved, and 10% persistent. Patients in the absent and improved groups showed stable, strong alliance while the persistent group showed worsening alliance.

Conclusion

Simple, remote psychosocial interventions are promising first-line treatments for late-life suicidality. A strong alliance may reduce suicidality and enhance outcomes, guiding timely, personalized interventions.
目的:老年自杀率呈快速上升趋势;心理治疗可能会降低自杀率,但自杀率变化的轨迹仍不清楚。一个强大的治疗联盟可以防止持续的自杀倾向。我们检查了联盟与自杀轨迹的关系,在短暂的,远程干预抑郁症。方法对60例中老年重度抑郁症患者随机进行简短的远程心理社会干预。在治疗期间评估自杀倾向和联盟。患者的自杀轨迹分为:1)不存在;2)改善;3)持久性,基于治疗前到治疗后的变化。所有三组都被纳入混合效应模型,以检验自杀和联盟之间的关系。结果基线时,53%的患者认可自杀,缺席组45%,45%改善,10%持续。无症状组和改善组患者联盟稳定、牢固,而持久组患者联盟恶化。结论简单、远程的心理社会干预是治疗老年自杀的一线治疗方法。一个强有力的联盟可以减少自杀并提高结果,指导及时、个性化的干预措施。
