Alzheimer disease: can the exam predict the pathology?
Neurology 2012;78:374–375 Memory testing beyond the 3-word recall of brief mental status examinations is not routinely performed on patients with memory complaints. This is due to time constraints and uncertainty over how to conduct and interpret a valid learning and memory examination. Failure to evaluate memory complaints consistently with objective assessments has no doubt contributed to the...
متن کاملSuperior frontal cortex cholinergic axon density in mild cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer disease.
BACKGROUND Loss of cortical choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) activity contributes to end-stage Alzheimer disease (AD) dementia. In general, ChAT activity levels are stable in the neocortex in mild to moderate AD (mAD) and there is a selective up-regulation in the superior frontal cortex (SFC) in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), indicating a transient, region-specific cholinergic neuroplastic re...
متن کاملOxidative stress in the progression of Alzheimer disease in the frontal cortex.
We investigated oxidative stress in human postmortem frontal cortexfrom individuals characterized as mild cognitive impairment (n= 8), mild/moderate Alzheimer disease (n = 4), and late-stage Alzheimer disease (n = 9). Samples from subjects with no cognitive impairment (n = 10) that were age- and postmortem interval-matched with these cases were used as controls. The short postmortem intervalbra...
متن کاملAltered mechanisms of protein synthesis in frontal cortex in Alzheimer disease and a mouse model.
Expression of the nucleolar chaperones nucleolin (NCL) and nucleophosmin (NPM1), upstream binding transcription factor (UBTF), rRNA18S, rRNA28S, and several genes encoding ribosomal proteins (RPs) is decreased in frontal cortex area 8 at advanced stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This is accompanied by reduced protein levels of elongation factors eEF1A and eEF2. Changes are more marked in AD ...
متن کاملCognitive measures predict pathologic Alzheimer disease.
BACKGROUND Neuropsychologic testing is often used to infer neuropathologic processes, but clinicopathologic correlations for individual cognitive measures are based on a small number of published studies. OBJECTIVE To examine the usefulness of the age- and education-adjusted Mayo Cognitive Factor Scales (MCFS) obtained at participants' initial assessments for predicting the presence or absenc...
