Urinary homocysteic acid levels correlate with mini-mental state examination scores in Alzheimer's disease patients.
Homocysteic acid (HA) has been suggested as a pathogen in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD), 3xTg-AD. However, it is not established whether HA is involved in humans. We investigated the relationship between urinary HA levels and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores in AD patients (n = 70) and non-AD controls (n = 34). We found a positive, statistically significant relationship b...
متن کاملModelling mini mental state examination changes in Alzheimer's disease.
The Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) is widely used to measure dementia severity in Alzheimer's disease patients. While changes over time in the MMSE due to dementia have been studied, the relationship between MMSE scores and the duration of disease course is less well understood. Using the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) data, we modelled change in MMSE a...
متن کاملCognitive Impairment in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease; Comparison of Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE)
Background & Objective: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transient state between normal condition and dementia. Available data indicates that coronary artery diseases (CAD) may increase the risk of MCI. Hence, the early detection of MCI can prevent the progression of cognitive decline. Materials & Methods: A sample of 65 subjects with degrees of CAD was enrolled to the study. For cogniti...
متن کاملMini-mental state examination in neurological patients.
The Mini-Mental State examination has been found to be a quick and valuable test for simple bedside screening, and for serial assessment of cognitive function in a population of 126 neurological patients. Amongst those with cognitive impairment, there was a close relation between the Mini-Mental State examination and the conventional Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). However, the Mini-M...
متن کاملThe Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).
WHY: Cognitive impairment is no longer considered a normal and inevitable change of aging. Although older adults are at higher risk than the rest of the population, changes in cognitive function often call for prompt and aggressive action. In older patients, cognitive functioning is especially likely to decline during illness or injury. The nurses' assessment of an older adult's cognitive statu...
