Hello! Our summer issue contains a wide range of topics ranging from a pilot study examining the effects of methylphenidate for apathy on visual attention scanning behavior,⁽¹⁾ to an attempt to find a consensus on essential components of the physical exam in the setting of a primary care-based memory clinic.⁽²⁾ Other papers examine the factors involved in the delay between the onset of symptoms and clinical assessment at a memory clinic,⁽³⁾ guidelines for gait assessments in the Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA),⁽⁴⁾ a systematic review of the national dementia strategies of various countries,⁽⁵⁾ and an evaluation of Twitter use at the 2017 Canadian Geriatrics Society conference in Toronto, Canada.⁽⁶⁾

Thanks again for your interest!

Cheers,
