BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE To determine the interrelationships between baseline Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score and risk of overall dementia, post-recurrent stroke dementia, and dementia without recurrent stroke among patients with a history of stroke. METHODS Prospective cohort study among participants enrolled in the Perindopril Protection Against Recurrent Stroke Study (PROGRESS) fo...

An adoption/twin design was used to address issues concerning the relationship between education and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) performance. Data on general cognitive abilities, education, and MMSE from 110 identical twin pairs and 177 fraternal pairs aged 50 through 88 were analyzed using multivariate quantitative genetic methods. Genetic influences account for 32% and 19% of the var...

---------------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT-----------------------------------------------------------Several types of Rake Receivers like A-Rake, S-Rake, P-Rake, Adaptive frequency Rake, Time frequency Rake, Conventional MMSE Rake and Adaptive MMSE rake are used for WCDMA. In this paper we observed that the BER performance of the Adoptive MMSE Rake receiver gi...

Background and purpose: Cognitive impairment (CI) is one of the causes of disabilities in multiple sclerosis patients (MS). Therefore, early detection and evaluation of cognitive performance is very important in patients with MS. The aim of the present study is to compare Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test and Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE) in Relapsing Remitting (RR) MS patients. Method...

We derive two types of approximate maximum likelihood (ML) detection based on minimum mean squared error (MMSE), MMSE-CML (conditional ML) detection and MMSECLML (conditional local ML) detection, for MIMO communication system. A simple reliability judge rule to judge the estimate of the transmit symbols is also given. For the proposed MMSECML detection, received signals are first sent into MMSE...

The goal of the research reported in this thesis is to contribute to early and accurate detection of dementia. Early detection of dementia is essential to maximising the effectiveness of treatment against memory loss. This goal is pursued by interpreting the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in novel ways. The MMSE is the most widely used screening tool for dementia, it is a questionnaire of...

BACKGROUND Frontal-type cognitive deficits are common in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) was developed to assess frontal lobe functions. However, many studies found that it also correlated with a variety of other general neuropsychological tests. OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether the FAB has an added value over the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) a...

BACKGROUND Progressive cognitive decline develops in a nontrivial minority of stroke survivors. Although commonly used to identify cognitive decline in older stroke survivors, the usefulness of the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) as a screening tool for post-stroke cognitive decline across a wider range of ages is not well established. This study therefore investigated the usefulness of th...
