The Short Form of the Geriatric Depression Scale: A Comparison With the 30-Item Form
Tập 4 Số 3 - Trang 173-178 - 1991
The Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) exists in both short and long forms. The
original 30-item form of the GDS has been shown to be an effective screening
test for depression in a variety of settings. However, its utility in patients
with demen tia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) is questionable. The short, 15-item
version of the GDS was developed primarily for brev ity and, in particular, for
use in ...
Sleep Problems and Institutionalization of the Elderly
Tập 4 Số 4 - Trang 204-210 - 1991
This study examined the role of sleep problems in the decisions of families to
institutionalize elderly relatives. Previous work on institutionalization of the
elderly has given little attention to the contribution of nocturnal,
sleep-related problems. Seventy-three primary caregivers of elders recently
admitted to a nursing home or psychiatric hospital were asked to identify the
problems the elde...
Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson Disease
Tập 25 Số 4 - Trang 208-214 - 2012
Aim: To compare quality of life, level of disability, and caregiver burden in 3
groups of people with Parkinson disease (PD): those with mild cognitive
impairment (PD-MCI), those with dementia (PDD), and those with no cognitive
impairment (PD-NC). Background: Although the cognitive profile of those with
PD-MCI and PDD has been well described, little is known about the personal and
clinical impact ...
Effects of Cognitive Challenge on Gait Variability in Patients with Parkinson’s Disease
Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 53-58 - 2003
Attention plays an important role in the gait disturbances of patients with
Parkinson’s disease (PD); however, the effects of “dual tasking” on fall risk
and gait instability have not been well studied. The authors tested the
hypothesis that gait variability increases when subjects with PD walk while
performing a cognitively challenging task (CCT). Subjects with idiopathic PD
walked under normal c...
Neuropsychological Prediction of Decline to Dementia in Nondemented Elderly
Tập 12 Số 4 - Trang 168-179 - 1999
This study examined whether baseline neuropsychological performance in elderly
assessed at a research clinic could accurately predict subsequent decline to
dementia. Logistic regression analyses were applied to (1) 213 nondemented
elderly with a Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) score of 1, 2, or 3, of whom 74
(35%) subsequently declined to any diagnosis of dementia, and (2) a
diagnostically more r...
Middle-Aged Children of Persons With Alzheimer’s Disease: APOE Genotypes and Cognitive Function in the Wisconsin Registry for Alzheimer’s Prevention
Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 245-249 - 2005
Adult children of persons with Alzheimer’s disease are at increased risk of
developing Alzheimer’s disease because of hereditary, environmental, and health
risk factors shared with affected parents. The Wisconsin Registry for
Alzheimer’s Prevention (WRAP) has completed baseline assessments on 452
middle-aged persons (mean = 53 years) who have at least 1 parent with AD.
Forty-five percent had 1 or ...
Very Early Detection of Alzheimer Neuropathology and the Role of Brain Reserve in Modifying Its Clinical Expression
Tập 18 Số 4 - Trang 218-223 - 2005
Numerous studies show that the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease is present
decades before a clinical diagnosis of dementia can be made. Given the
likelihood that agents will become available that reliably delay onset and/or
slow progression of Alzheimer’s disease, it will be important to detect
preclinical Alzheimer’s disease as early as possible for maximal treatment
effect. Detection of individu...
Depression and Anxiety in Parkinson's Disease: Possible Effect of Genetic Variation in the Serotonin Transporter
Tập 12 Số 2 - Trang 49-52 - 1999
Recently, a functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the serotonin
transporter gene has been linked to anxiety. In cell culture, the short allele
of this polymorphism synthesizes less serotonin transporter, resulting in a
reduction of the removal of serotonin from the synaptic cleft. This pilot study
examines depression and anxiety in Parkinson's disease patients as a function of
the vari...
MR Spectroscopy, Functional MRI, and Diffusion-Tensor Imaging in the Aging Brain: A Conceptual Review
Tập 20 Số 1 - Trang 3-21 - 2007
In vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI), and diffusion-tensor imaging (DTI) have recently opened new
possibilities for noninvasively assessing the metabolic, functional, and
connectivity correlates of aging in research and clinical settings. The purpose
of this article is to provide a conceptual review intended for a
multidisciplinary audience, c...
When One Loses Empathy
Tập 26 Số 3 - Trang 174-184 - 2013
The effects of empathy loss in frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Alzheimer
disease (AD) on carer symptomatology were investigated. Carers of patients with
2 clinical subtypes of FTD (behavioral-variant FTD [bvFTD] = 18; semantic
dementia [SD] = 14) and AD (n = 18) completed the Interpersonal Reactivity Index
(IRI), a standardized questionnaire of empathy as well as a measure of perceived
burden (Z...
