This study aimed to investigate whether the demographic variable-adjustment and supplementation of Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) score can improve the screening ability of Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for dementia and its subtypes. Five hundred forty-one non-demented comparison (NC) and 474 dementia (320 Alzheimer's disease [AD]; 139 non-Alzheimer's disease dementia [NAD]; and 15 mix...

The goal of the current project was to determine (a) the cognitive abilities assessed by the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE; M. F. Folstein, S. E. Folstein, & P. R. McHugh, 1975), (b) whether the same abilities are associated with MMSE performance among people of different ages, and (c) whether the same abilities are involved in changes within the same people over time. The authors therefo...

Background: The electrical dose selected for electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) must have an acceptable efficacy and no or minimal cognitive side-effects. We evaluated the clinical efficacy and cognitive side-effects of ECT in relation to the stimulus dose administered. Method: This study assessed 71 depressed patients who were treated with bilateral ECT. For evaluation of depressive and cognitive...

BACKGROUND General practitioners (GPs) are in best position to suspect dementia. Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Clock Drawing Test (CDT) are widely used. Additional neurological tests may increase the accuracy of diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate diagnostic ability to detect dementia with a Short Smell Test (SST) and Palmo-Mental Reflex (PMR) in patients whose MMSE and CDT are normal, b...

This retrospective case-control study aimed to investigate associations between disease severity of Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and macular thickness. Data patients with AD who were under medication (n = 192) 2013 2020, as well an age- sex-matched control group 200) normal cognitive function, included. divided into subgroups according scores the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Clinical Demen...

OBJECTIVES To develop a 10-minute cognitive screening tool (Montreal Cognitive Assessment, MoCA) to assist first-line physicians in detection of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a clinical state that often progresses to dementia. DESIGN Validation study. SETTING A community clinic and an academic center. PARTICIPANTS Ninety-four patients meeting MCI clinical criteria supported by psychome...

Abstract Objective To analyze the association of self-perceived depressive feelings and cognitive performance with prevalence symptoms among quilombola elderly people. Methods Cross-sectional study conducted people from 11 communities in Bequimão-MA. Socioeconomic health conditions, self-perception feelings, by Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-30) were invest...

OBJECTIVES To design and test a brief, efficient dementia-screening instrument for use by general practitioners (GPs). DESIGN The General Practitioner Assessment of Cognition (GPCOG) consists of cognitive test items and historical questions asked of an informant. The validity of the measure was assessed by comparison with the criterion standard of diagnoses of dementia derived from the Diagno...

While several biomarkers have been developed for the detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD), not many are available prediction severity, particularly patients in mild stages AD. In this paper, we explore multimodal Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores using resting-state electroencephalography (EEG) and structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Analyses were carried out on a data...
