Brain structure and cerebrovascular risk in cognitively impaired patients: Shanghai Community Brain Health Initiative-pilot phase.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations among brain morphologic changes as seen on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cerebrovascular risk (CVR), and clinical diagnosis and cognition in elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia living in urban Shanghai. DESIGN Cross-sectional study performed from May 1, 2007, to November 31, 2008. SETTING Memory Disorders Clinic of the H...
متن کاملPatient safety concerns for cognitively impaired patients with brain tumors.
Patients with malignant gliomas often have safety concerns not common in patients with other types of cancer. Neurologic and cognitive deficits make the care of such patients more complex, with much of the burden of care falling to the primary caretaker and family.
متن کاملPain in cognitively impaired nursing home patients.
Pain is an understudied problem in frail elderly patients, especially those with cognitive impairment, delirium, or dementia. The focus of this study was to describe the pain experienced by patients in skilled nursing homes, which have a high prevalence of cognitive impairment. A random sample of 325 subjects was selected from ten community skilled nursing homes. Subjects underwent a cross-sect...
متن کاملAn Intervention Framework for Cognitively Impaired Patients
People suffering from memory impairments experience decreased concentration, with difficulty in recalling and thinking. Inhabitants in a smart home are surrounded by multiple sensors and the sensor data collected provide information about the inhabitant’s interaction with the environment. Sensor data can be used to monitor the cognitive disabilities of the person by studying their behaviour in ...
متن کاملEvoked Potentials and Neuropsychological Tests Validate Positron Emission Topography (PET) Brain Metabolism in Cognitively Impaired Patients
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) Positron Emission Topography (PET) brain hypometabolism (HM) correlates with diminished cognitive capacity and risk of developing dementia. However, because clinical utility of PET is limited by cost, we sought to determine whether a less costly electrophysiological measure, the P300 evoked potential, in combination with neuropsychological test performance, would valida...
