Filter by:Primary objective - Collection of patients with wilson disease either presented with neurological or hepatic symptoms - Assessment of psychiatric and cognitive disorders in both groups by using specific scales Secondary objective - correlation of MRI brain findings with cognitive & psychiatric symptoms found in the patients ,if possible.
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group study. The use of placebo is appropriate to minimize bias related to treatment expectations of the subject, study partner, and site investigator, as well as to changes in the relationship between the subject and study partner that might occur with the initiation of treatment and expectation of improvement in motor symptoms or cognition. Changes in subject/study partner interactions can impact subject mood and might introduce biases that cannot be quantified. The double-blind use of placebo will also prevent bias in the clinical and scientific assessments.
A prospective study was conducted on 84 CSVD patients with dysphagia and cognitive impairment. They were divided into the comparison group and observation group evenly. All the patients were provided with routine therapy, while the patients in the observation group were given SGB. The swallowing function, cognitive function and activities of daily living of the two groups of patients before and after treatment were evaluated by Penetration-Aspiration Scale, Mini-mental state examination and modified Barthel index.
Advanced age is a consistent risk factor for the incidence of postoperative cognitive decline, which is associated with longer hospital stays, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. Anaesthetic drugs can also affect postoperative cognition, as their residual effects can alter central nervous system activity. Desflurane and sevoflurane are widely used volatile anesthetics. Choice anesthetics may influence the occurrence of postoperative delirium. However, evidence in this aspect is conflicting.
the goal of this type of study : observation study is to learn about cerebral edema and hematoma in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage the main questions it aims to answer are current clinical practices lack predictive models to identify early structural brain abnormalities affecting cognition.
Poor sleep quality can significantly jeopardize the brain health, cognitive functions, daily activities, quality of life, and even be implicated as a key potential contributing factor in the development of accelerated cognitive decline and prodromal dementia. Consequently, research efforts to understand, and therefore potentially model, the effects of sleep quality on cognition and brain health are of great pragmatic values.
Elderly disability and cognitive impairment rates were different between elderly man and woman. Sex-specific risk factors and observed gender differences across the lifespan were associated with different degrees of cognitive and activity of daily living function decline between men and women. However, some of these viewpoint remains controversial. The aim of this study is to explore the gender differences and influencing factors of disability and cognitive impairment among the elderly.
This is a single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial with a parallel-group design conducted at Minia University hospital.
GOIZ ZAINDU ("caring early" in Basque) is a pilot study to adapt the Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability (FINGER) methodology to the Basque population and evaluate feasibility and adherence to a FINGER-like multidomain intervention program. Additional aims included the assessment of efficacy on cognition and collecting data to design a large efficacy trial.
This project will facilitate early detection of cognitive decline in older adults through development and implementation of an automated risk assessment and cognitive screening tool for use in primary care. By providing an automated tool developed specifically to address the needs of PCPs, it will be easier to screen for cognitive impairment, increasing the number of older adults who are screened and thus identified and treated.
