INTRODUCTION Routine cognitive screening for in-patients aged ≥75 years is recommended, but there is uncertainty around how this should be operationalised. We therefore determined the feasibility and reliability of the Abbreviated mental test score (AMTS/10) and its relationship to subjective memory complaint, Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA/30) and informant report in unselected older admi...

BACKGROUND We aimed to examine the role of age and premorbid intelligence (IQ) in suppressing the relationship between subjective memory complaints (SMCs) and raw score memory performance. METHODS We used a community sample of older adults aged 66-90 years (N = 121) to test whether the inclusion of age and a premorbid IQ measure in multiple regression analyses increased semipartial correlatio...

The aim of the study was to find whether there is an association between subjective memory complaint and memory impairment and probable underlying psychological conditions. A total of 90 patients with subjective memory complaint enrolled in this study. Short history and demographic information were obtained and then the patients underwent memory and mental health assessments, using Wechsler Mem...

Bilateral thalamic infarcts are a rare, but sometimes they can present as memory loss as the chief complaint. So they should always be kept as a differential in a patient with dementia. We report a short case series of 3 patients who presented to our center with the history of memory impairment and turned out to be isolated thalamic infarcts.

Normal aging can be characterized by a gradual decline in some cognitive functions, such as memory. Memory complaints are common among older adults, and may indicate depression, anxiety, or cognitive decline. Objectives To investigate the association between memory complaints and age in cognitively unimpaired older adults, and the relationship between memory complaints and memory performance....

Background The locus coeruleus (LC) is critical for late-lift cognitive processing by modulating the norepinephrine system, which often first place Alzheimer’s pathology appears. Previous researches have identified that LC was associated with late-life ability. This study aims to investigate whether intrinsic functional connectivity (LC-FC) altered in older adults subjective memory complaints (...
