Materials and methods A multicenter, open label, prospective, observational study enrolled 800 patients, more 50 years old with Mild Neurocognitive Disorder (DSM IV criteria), during 24 months of treatment with galantamine 16 mg./day. Assessments included the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR), Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale (ADAS-GOG), Seven minutes test...

We recently completed an audit on cognitive testing used in routine practice within our Older People Community Mental Health Team in East Dorset, U.K. We measured the frequency of use of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination (ACE) following its introduction as the baseline test for cognition, comparing it to the Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) (Folstein et al., 1975). Published research ...

Stroke disrupts motor, sensory, and cognitive systems in survivors. Unlike in physical impairments, assessment of cognitive function is often inadequate, as no standardized procedure to monitor cognitive recovery post stroke exists. We evaluated a number of novel task-orientated tools designed to assess subtle cognitive deficits (including memory, attention, and executive functioning) in a samp...

OBJECTIVE The interaction between dementia and nutritional state is very complex and not yet fully understood. The aim of the present study was to assess the interaction between cognitive impairment and nutritional state in a cohort of residential elderly in relationship with functional condition of patients and their load of assistance in long-term-care facilities of the National Association o...

Background: The prevalence of cognitive impairment among patients with epilepsy is about 70%. There is still no approved medication for the treatment of this problem. Objectives: The present study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of memantine in improving the cognitive function of patients with epilepsy. Materials & Methods: This is a pilot, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlle...

BACKGROUND The development of an effective brief dementia test will help in the early identification of dementia. AIM This study investigates the diagnostic utility of a brief cognitive test for dementia which combines a short subjective informant-rated questionnaire (AD8) with an objective cognitive measure (Mini-Mental State Examination, MMSE) or its subcomponents. METHODS Subjects with m...

BACKGROUND We examined the discriminant validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in detecting multiple-domain mild cognitive impairment (md-MCI) in a Chinese sub-sample drawn from elderly population-based study. METHODS This study included Chinese participants from the Epidemiology of Dementia in Singapore (EDIS) study aged ≥ 60 years w...

Early accurate detection of Alzheimer disease (AD) and its prognostic stage, i.e., Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is getting more and more vital. A novel approach is applied for the diagnosis of very mild (CDR0.5) to mild (CDR-1) Alzheimer disease patients from normal controls combining morphometric features along with MMSE (Mini Mental State Examination) score. The combined features are fed i...
