BACKGROUND To test the hypothesis that leisure time physical activity (PA) is associated with cognitive status. METHODS We assessed cognition using the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) at enrollment and using the modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (TICS-m) administered annually since 2001 in the Northern Manhattan Study. Baseline measures of leisure time PA were collected ...

AIM To examine the relation of performance on the self-administered Test Your Memory test (TYM) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) with a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment in a population sample including people with modest cognitive decrements. METHODS Eighty-six participants (aged 56-77 years), without known cognitive dysfunction, performed a neuropsychological assessmen...

OBJECTIVE Recent studies suggest that the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is more sensitive to stroke-associated cognitive dysfunction than the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), but little is known about how these screening measures relate to neurocognitive test performance or real-world functioning in patients with good recovery after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The aim...

Background:Purpose of present study was to investigate whether chronic exposure to zinc fume would affect serum zinc levels, memory, and cognition in zinc fume-exposed workers. Methods:In a cross-sectional study, all zinc fume-exposed workers (exposed, n=20) were compared with unexposed workers (reference, n=20) matched for sex and education level in a zinc galvanization factory. The worker...

The automatic upgradation of equalizer weights in channel equalization demands a low-complexity, highly accurate estimation recovery at the minimum possible time. low-complexity frequency domain improves mean square error (MMSE) process. Adding superiority particle swarm optimization (PSO) to coefficient selection process enhances MMSE. This work proposes frequency-domain along with modified PS...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increasing attention has been paid to associations between cognitive dysfunction and brain microbleeds (MBs). Because all previous studies have investigated patients with neurological disorders, we examined subjects without neurological disorder in order to clarify pathogenic relationships. METHODS A total of 518 consecutive adults without neurological disorder who had ...

For high data rate ultra wideband communication system, performance comparison of Rake, MMSE and Rake-MMSE receivers is attempted in this paper. We have taken into account of impact of all the parameters such as the effect of the number of Rake fingers and equalizer taps on the error performance by combating ISI are the major focus of our research. The bit error rate performances are investigat...

BACKGROUND To examine the discriminant validity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in detecting patients with cognitive impairment at higher risk for dementia at a memory clinic setting. METHODS Memory clinic patients were administered the MoCA, MMSE, and a comprehensive formal neuropsychological battery. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) su...

We consider a direct sequence (DS-) code division multiple access (CDMA) system with orthogonally multiplexed pilot signals and minimum mean squared error (MMSE) data and channel estimation. Both flat and frequency-selective fading channels are considered. Large system analysis is used to optimize the pilot-to-data power ratio (PDR) and the code rate for a fixed bandwidth expansion. Specificall...
