Prevalence of post-stroke depression and its relationship with risk factors for stroke
Background & Objective: Stroke is a major public health problem. Post-stroke depression is one of the common emotional disorders afflicting stroke survivors. The purpose of this study was to determine of the prevalence of depression and its relationship with risk factors for stroke after an episode of stroke. Materials & Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 100 consecutive patients ...
متن کاملPolygenic risk of ischemic stroke is associated with cognitive ability
OBJECTIVES We investigated the correlation between polygenic risk of ischemic stroke (and its subtypes) and cognitive ability in 3 relatively healthy Scottish cohorts: the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 (LBC1936), the Lothian Birth Cohort 1921 (LBC1921), and Generation Scotland: Scottish Family Health Study (GS). METHODS Polygenic risk scores for ischemic stroke were created in LBC1936 (n = 1005),...
متن کاملWhy is Mini-Mental state examination performance correlated with estimated premorbid cognitive ability?
BACKGROUND Tests requiring the pronunciation of irregular words are used to estimate premorbid cognitive ability in patients with clinical diagnoses, and prior cognitive ability in normal ageing. However, scores on these word-reading tests correlate with scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), a widely used screening test for possible cognitive pathology. This study aimed to test wh...
متن کاملAssociation of Diagnostic Stroke Biomarkers with Post Stroke Cognitive Impairment
Stroke patients are at a higher risk of developing progressive cognitive impairment, often retarding patient rehabilitation. Studies have been carried out to find out the molecular mechanism associated with the stroke and its consequences on the various brain regions implicated in cognitive function. The current available therapy does not improve longterm outcome and remains a substantially unm...
متن کاملCognitive impairment after stroke.
The concept of vascular dementia is undergoing revision. The multi-infarct model and the Alzheimer's model of dementia, usually referred to as 'multi-infarct dementia', are gradually being replaced by a much broader concept of vascular cognitive impairment. This conceptual evolution reflects a more profound understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms that underlie this complex syndrome. As a con...
