There is currently a need to develop tools identify patients with mild AD and cognitive impairment (MCI). We determined the validity reliability of brief, easily administered screening battery consisting fusion two well-known brief tests (Mini-Mental Status Examination [MMSE] Clock Drawing Test [CDT]) (Mini-clock) differentiate between AD, MCI, healthy control subjects. 66 consecutive 21 controls seen in memory clinic setting were compared. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve...
The natural history of symptomatic adult type I Arnold-Chiari (ACM1) malformation is variable. Patients with this condition frequently develop corticospinal and sensory deficits, together cerebellar signs lower cranial nerve palsies in various combinations. In the present report we describe a patient ACM1 whom sleep apnea disturbances central regulation arterial pressure were major component symptomatology. These paroxysmal blood changes has not been previously reported. decompression our...
<i>Objective:</i> The aim of this paper was to compare the performance a group patients with early Alzheimer’s disease (EAD) against control healthy (HC) subjects in Clock Drawing Test (CDT), i.e. verbal command versus copying clock model presented subject. <i>Patients and Methods:</i> authors have studied 140 subjects; 70 probable EAD, mean age 76.4 ± 7.64 years clinical dementia rating stage 1 (mild dementia), and70 HC 75.16 6.34 years. <i>Results:</i>...
Background: Specific cognitive alterations could be one of the predictors that lead to complex activities daily living (CADL) impairment in mild (MCI) and, hence, help explain continuum between MCI and dementia. Objective: We aimed reevaluate existing uncertainty regarding impact memory executive functions on CADL patients with MCI. Methods: Caregivers 161 amnestic multi-domain 150 incipient Alzheimer’s disease as well 100 age-, sex-, education-matched controls, completed Interview for...
We examined whether there are selective deficits in early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD; n = 27) and unipolar depression (UD; 17) patients on recall recognition of spatial visual components nonverbal memory (NVM) the two groups can be differentiated based their performance such tasks. also investigated which NVM measures had best discrimination power. tested spatial, visuospatial, visuoconstructive abilities AD UD patients. patients' scores tasks were significantly lower than those healthy...
To describe the design of baseline assessment an epidemiological study elderly persons living in Salamanca, central-western Spain: Neurological Diseases Salamanca (NEDISA) study. We assessed epidemiology stroke, cognitive disorders, essential tremor (ET), Parkinson's disease (PD) and restless legs syndrome.In phase 1 (February to May 31, 2007), 4 neurologists 2 trained general physicians examined performed phlebotomy on all participants. In (June 1, 2007, June 2008), participants were...
Background: The Neurological Disorders in Central Spain, second survey (NEDICES-2) is a population-based, closed-cohort study that will include over 8000 subjects aged ≥55 years. It also biobank. Objective: objective of this was to evaluate all major aspects the NEDICES-2 (methods, database, screening instruments, and questionnaires, as well interexpert rating neurological diagnoses) each one planned areas (all them central Spain) test possibility obtaining biological samples from...
