Management of Disease Modifying Interventions in Alzheimer's

Tuesday, December 3, 2024 13:00to16:30
Montreal Neurological Institute de Grandpre Communications Centre, 3801 rue University, Montreal, QC, H3A 2B4, CA

This workshop is organized by Dr. Pedro Rosa-Neto, MD, PhD, from The Douglas Research Centre, 91社区, 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.
