Self-estimation of performance implies the ability to understand one's own with relatively objective terms. Up date, few studies have addressed this topic in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. The aim present study was compare measures subjective perception specific on tests and investigate differences assessment between MCI patients healthy elderly.Thirty-five participants diagnosed (women = 16, men 19, mean age 65.09 years ±SD 7.81, education 12.83 4.32) 35 control subjects similar...
Summary Objectives To examine the driving variables that predict accident probability in mild dementia due to Alzheimer's disease (AD), cognitive impairment (MCI) and healthy older control drivers simulated driving. compare three groups mean performance frequency of scores exceeding 1.5 SD from mean. Methods/Design Participants were 37 with MCI, 16 AD, 21 over age 52. Driving measures derived four rural conditions: moderate traffic without distraction high distraction. The z‐transformed...
Introduction: According to latest research, a percentage of cognitively impaired drivers fail recognize their areas weakness and overestimate driving abilities. Methods: Twenty-seven individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (MCI) 26 healthy elderly participated in simulator study. After the assessment, participants were asked self-evaluate performance comparison what they considered as average for people similar age educational level. Results: applied mixed analysis variance...
the apolipoprotein e4 allele (APOE4) constitutes an established genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease Dementia (ADD). We aimed to explore frequency of APOE isoforms in Greek population Southern Greece.peripheral blood from 175 AD patients, 113 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 75 healthy individuals. DNA isolation was performed a High Pure PCR Template Kit (Roche), followed by amplification real-time qPCR kit (TIB MolBiol) Roche's Light Cycler platform.APOE4 20.57% ADD group,...
A 51-year-old Caucasian man presented with cervical pain, right hand weakness, and progressively deteriorating gait. Onset of symptoms occurred 1 month before admission pain that worsened during neck flexion. few days later he noticed reduced dexterity numbness his hand. During the following 3 weeks, gait became increasingly unstable. Additionally, reported erectile dysfunction urinary hesitancy. No previous trauma was recalled. His medical family history unremarkable except for hypertension...

Mental and physical changes that accompany natural ageing are expected to affect driving ability in the elderly. Most elderly drivers, especially under influence of cognitive impairment, have been found adjust their behavior order compensate for attenuated skills (Braitman et al., 2011). However, there seems be a percentage cognitively impaired drivers fails recognize areas weakness overestimate abilities (Wong 2012). The aim present study was evaluate level agreement between self-estimated...
OBJECTIVE:To present preliminary findings on driving measures of middle aged/older healthy controls and neurology patients in four Rural Urban simulation environments: Moderate Traffic with/without distraction High (conversation). The study examines the contributions traffic load to above groups. It is part a larger simulator experiment funded by NSRF 2007-13. BACKGROUND:Driver performance different road conditions with without offers valuable information concerning safety, but difficult...
OBJECTIVE: To present preliminary findings on driving measures of middle aged/older healthy controls and neurology patients in four motorway segments (presentation a traffic sign, start, road works, finish) from two simulation environments (low, high traffic). The study examines the contributions load environment to above groups. It is part larger simulator experiment funded by NSRF (2007-13) BACKGROUND: Driver performance different conditions especially while offers valuable information...
Abstract Background Sleep disorders precede cognitive deficits by an average of four years in Alzheimer’s disease, and disrupted sleep has been associated with worse performance. We examined the association a novel sleep‐mediated assessment to architecture people without impairment, towards earlier diagnosis impairment. Method Forty‐three participants from & Memory Center at Neurological Institute Athens cohort underwent comprehensive evaluation that included polysomnography pre‐ post‐...
The main difference between incidental and intentional episodic memory lies in people's intention to memorize the relevant information during encoding process. Regarding memory, of new is a more automatic effortless cognitive process, whereas encoding, individuals have strong presented information. Patients with aMCI patients depression may present similar impairments (Zihl et al., 2010). Aim study was explore whether performance on tasks could facilitate distinction depression. (a) 30...
Abstract Background Cognitive Behavioral Sleep Medicine is a rapidly growing discipline that aims at the comprehensive evaluation and treatment of people with cognitive or sleep symptoms, established on bidirectional relationship between disorders neurodegeneration. On this basis, we protocol for deep phenotyping cognitive‐sleep syndromes, present first results its feasibility novel to associations. Method We enrolled 29 patients (age: 71.5 ± 11.7; education: 9.6 2.8 years) minor major...
Abstract Background The demand for specialized care in neurocognitive disorders greatly surpasses its availability. Patients have complex needs and specialists are scarce. As a result, there is gap between the of patients capacity health systems to address them. Expert help fill this working towards early accurate phenotyping (description) better identify successfully allocate limited resources. We developed Cognitive Behavioral Score (CBS), 51‐item structured self‐administered questionnaire...
Objective of this study was to investigate whether specific motor and cognitive tests performed in clinic can predict behind-the-wheel driving behavior (DB) Parkinson's disease (PD).
