Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-week individualized home programme of rehabilitation for patients with cognitive impairment.; Methods: Six patients with cognitive dysfunction, after haemorrhagic stroke, participated in this study. A programme was carried out in the home environment that consisted of four mixed training programmes: cognitive remediation therapy, story retelling, cognitive enhancing games […]
Fracture prevention in patients with cognitive impairment presenting with a hip fracture: secondary analysis of data from the HORIZON Recurrent Fracture Trial
Prieto-Alhambra, D.,
Judge, A.,
Arden, N. K.,
Cooper, C.,
Lyles, K. W.,
Javaid, M. K.
Unlabelled: Patients with cognitive impairment (CI) often do not receive secondary fracture prevention. Use of zoledronic acid led to a similar reduction in re-fracture risk but the survival benefit was limited to those without CI.; Introduction: We tested whether the effects of id (Zol) on re-frazoledronic accture and mortality differed in patients presenting with a […]
Clock drawing in the Montreal Cognitive Assessment: recommendations for dementia assessment

Penney, Dana L.,
Penisi, Alfio,
Bowers, Dawn,
Okun, Michael S.,
Libon, David J.
Background: Clock drawing is part of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test but may have administration and scoring limitations. We assessed (1) the reliability of the MoCA clock criteria relative to a published error scoring approach, (2) whether command-only administration could distinguish dementia from cognitively intact individuals and (3) the value of adding a clock […]

Importance: Agitation is common, persistent, and associated with adverse consequences for patients with Alzheimer disease. Pharmacological treatment options, including antipsychotics are not satisfactory.; Objective: The primary objective was to evaluate the efficacy of citalopram for agitation in patients with Alzheimer disease. Key secondary objectives examined effects of citalopram on function, caregiver distress, safety, cognitive safety, […]
High fruit and vegetable intake is positively correlated with antioxidant status and cognitive performance in healthy subjects

A higher daily intake of fruits and vegetables in healthy elderly is associated with an improved antioxidant status in comparison to subjects consuming diets poor in fruits and vegetables, but the impact on cognitive performance is unclear. Healthy community dwellers (45 to 102 years old, n=193) underwent cognitive testing and blood withdrawal for the measurement […]
Home blood pressure measurement in elderly patients with cognitive impairment: comparison of agreement between relative-measured blood pressure and automated blood pressure measurement

Seux, Marie-Laure,
Caillard, Laure,
Chaussade, Edouard,
Vidal, Jean-Sébastien,
Boully, Clémence,
Hanon, Olivier
Objectives: Home blood pressure measurement (HBPM) is recommended by guidelines for hypertension management. However, this method might be difficult to use in elderly individuals with cognitive disorders. Our aim was to assess the agreement and the feasibility of HBPM by a relative as compared with 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) in elderly patients with […]
