    An Exploration of the Training Needs for End-of-Life Doulas in Alzheimer\u27s Disease and Related Dementias

    The end-of-life doula movement originated from the birth doula movement during the 21st century to serve as companions, mentors, and advocates for the dying. The end-of-life doula role is relatively new, and there are no standardized practices for overseeing training programs. This project sought to describe the experience of trained end-of-life doulas working with persons living with dementia and to identify the educational need to improve dementia training. This project used a qualitative descriptive design. Eight doulas were recruited through a purposive sampling method and completed in-depth interviews. These interviews were then analyzed in two cycles of coding: descriptive and pattern coding. Five themes were identified: three describing doula experiences (working with people living with dementia, impact on families, techniques for working with people living with dementia) and two describing educational needs relating to ADRD (doula attributes, what should be taught to doulas). Participants described the experience of working with people living with dementia as unique when compared to other disease processes. They emphasized the lack of and need for training in caring for persons living with dementia at end-of-life. Results were mapped to the principles of adult learning theory, and recommendations were made for future efforts to improve dementia training for end-of-life doulas

    Synthesis and Evaluation of [<sup>18</sup>F]RAGER: A First Generation Small-Molecule PET Radioligand Targeting the Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts

    The receptor for advanced glycation endproducts (RAGE) is a 35 kDa transmembrane receptor that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules. Its role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is complex, but it is thought to mediate influx of circulating amyloid-β into the brain as well as amplify Aβ-induced pathogenic responses. RAGE is therefore of considerable interest as both a diagnostic and a therapeutic target in AD. Herein we report the synthesis and preliminary preclinical evaluation of [<sup>18</sup>F]­RAGER, the first small molecule PET radiotracer for RAGE (<i>K</i><sub>d</sub> = 15 nM). Docking studies proposed a likely binding interaction between RAGE and RAGER, [<sup>18</sup>F]­RAGER autoradiography showed colocalization with RAGE identified by immunohistochemistry in AD brain samples, and [<sup>18</sup>F]­RAGER microPET confirmed CNS penetration and increased uptake in areas of the brain known to express RAGE. This first generation radiotracer represents initial proof-of-concept and a promising first step toward quantifying CNS RAGE activity using PET. However, there were high levels of nonspecific [<sup>18</sup>F]­RAGER binding <i>in vitro</i>, likely due to its high log <i>P</i> (experimental log <i>P</i> = 3.5), and rapid metabolism of [<sup>18</sup>F]­RAGER in rat liver microsome studies. Therefore, development of second generation ligands with improved imaging properties would be advantageous prior to anticipated translation into clinical PET imaging studies
