This study explores the effective outcomes of a structured cognitive stimulation treatment to improve cognition and behavioral symptoms in people with dementia (PWDs), using randomized controlled clinical trial.THIRTY PWDS WERE DIVIDED INTO THREE GROUPS: experimental (treated stimulation), placebo occupational therapy), control (continuing usual activities nursing home). Assessment, at baseline after period 8 weeks, was performed Clinical Dementia Rating Scale, daily living, Mini-Mental...
Objective. There is consistent evidence that anorexia nervosa (AN) associated with an impairment of set-shifting abilities and central coherence. No study to date investigated handedness in AN. Our aim was abilities, coherence, subjects lifetime AN, a sample unaffected sisters healthy controls, order explore their suitability as endophenotypes Methods. The Edinburgh Handedness Inventory several neuropsychological tasks (Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, Trail Making Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure...
Cognitive reserve (CR) is a potential mechanism to cope with brain damage. The aim of this study was evaluate the effect CR on cognitive training (CT) in group patients dementia. Eighty six participants mild moderate dementia were identified by their level quantified Index questionnaire (CRIq) and underwent cycle CT. A global measure cognition mini mental state examination (MMSE) obtained before (T0) after (T1) training. Multiple linear regression analyses highlighted as significant factor...
Voice assistants allow users to control appliances and functions of a smart home by simply uttering few words. Such systems hold the potential significantly help with motor cognitive disabilities who currently depend on their caregiver even for basic needs (eg, opening door). The research voice is mainly dedicated able-bodied users, studies evaluating accessibility such are still sparse fail account participants' actual motor, linguistic, abilities.The aim this work investigate whether...
The influence of liver transplantation (LT) on mental performance is debated, as the role pretransplant overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE). aim this study was to evaluate time course neuropsychological and electroencephalogram (EEG) features patients with cirrhosis before after LT respect prior OHE. population included 65 transplant waiting list; 23 had a history Each patient underwent an extensive psychometric assessment (10 tests, including paper pencil tests computerized test) EEG 9 12...
Abstract High-definition transcranial direct current stimulation (HD-tDCS) seems to overcome a drawback of traditional bipolar tDCS: the wide-spread diffusion electric field. Nevertheless, most differences that characterise two techniques are based on mathematical simulations and not real, behavioural neurophysiological, data. The study aims compare widespread tDCS montage (i.e., Conventional with extracephalic return electrode) HD-tDCS, investigating both at level, in terms dexterity...
Previous reports documented abnormalities in cognitive functions and decision-making (DM) patients with chronic pain, but these changes are not consistent across studies. Reasons for discordant findings might include the presence of confounders, variability pain conditions, use different tests. The present study was aimed to add evidence this field, by exploring profile a specific type i.e., low back (cLBP). Twenty four cLBP 24 healthy controls underwent neuropsychological battery we focused...
Parental substance use is a major risk factor for child development, heightening the of drug problems in adolescence and young adulthood, exposing offspring to several types traumatic events. First, prenatal exposure can be considered form trauma itself, with subtle but long-lasting sequelae at neuro-behavioral level. Second, parents' addiction often entails childrearing environment characterized by poor parenting skills, disadvantaged contexts adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), leading...
Abstract The present study aims to investigate the relationship between cerebellar volumes and cognitive reserve in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). A description of proxies terms different across lobules is also provided. 36 MCI underwent neuropsychological (MoCA, MMSE, Clock test, CRIq) assessment neuroimaging acquisition magnetic resonance imaging at 3 T. Simple linear correlations were applied measures. Multiple regression models then used estimate standardized...
Objectives The present study aims to investigate the role that cognitive cerebellar lobules, compared motor ones, could have on performance abilities control in older individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Methods Thirty-six participants MCI were retrospectively recruited from outpatient clinic for Decline and Dementia at Geriatric Clinic Regional Center Brain Aging. Cognition was assessed through a reaction time (RT) task which mere (COG) component (RT/S1 COG, RT/S3 COG) has been...
