Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders
May 22, 2024
INTRODUCTION: The prevalence of cognitive impairment and dementia in the older population is increasing, and thereby, early detection of cognitive decline is essential for effective intervention.
Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) has increasingly been used to study both Alzheimer's disease (AD) and schizophrenia (SZ). While most rs-fMRI studies being conducted in AD and SZ compare patients to healthy controls, it i...
Alzheimer's disease (AD) stands as the prevalent progressive neurodegenerative disease, precipitating cognitive impairment and even memory loss. Amyloid biomarkers have been extensively used in the diagnosis of AD. However, amyloid proteins offer lim...
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's Disease is the second most common neurological disease in over 60s. Cognitive impairment is a major clinical symptom, with risk of severe dysfunction up to 20 years post-diagnosis. Processes for detection and diagnosis of cogn...
This paper presents a deep learning method using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, to distinguish between Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and Normal Cognitive (NC) conditions in older adults. We propose a framework that analyzes transcrip...
IMPORTANCE: Predicting neurocognitive deficits using complex auditory assessments could change how cognitive dysfunction is identified, and monitored over time. Detecting cognitive impairment in people living with HIV (PLWH) is important for early in...
BACKGROUND: Dementia is a leading cause of disability in people older than 65 years worldwide. However, diagnosing dementia in its earliest symptomatic stages remains challenging. This study combined specific questions from the AD8 scale with compreh...
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) includes deficits in different cognitive domains, and one domain to explore for neurocognitive impairment following the DSM-V is social cognition. However, this domain is not inclu...
Dementia is characterized by a progressive loss of cognitive abilities, and diagnosing its early stages Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), is difficult since it is a transitory state that is different from total cognitive collapse. Recent clinical rese...
OBJECTIVES: Impaired perivascular clearance has been suggested as a contributing factor to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer disease (AD). However, it remains unresolved when the anatomy of the perivascular space (PVS) is altered during AD progression. T...
