Something for me to look into since 40% of Alzheimer diagnoses are wrong pre-autopsy.

This month I have been focusing on research advances in neuropsychology in neuroscience medicine.My daily feed screener picked up a report of a screening tool for Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) today.LBD is often confused with Alzheimer's disease. Distinguishing the two is important for management and selection of appropriate drug treatment.This research is not published in a free full-text manuscript format but there is a link to the scale for readers with more interest.The research study examined the validity of a newly developed scale called the Lewy Body Composite Risk Score or LBCRS.
