Effects of age, gender, education and race on two tests of language ability in community-based older adults
Background: Neuropsychological tests, including tests of language ability, are frequently used to differentiate normal from pathological cognitive aging. However, language can be particularly difficult to assess in a standardized manner in cross-cultural studies and in patients from different educational and cultural backgrounds. This study examined the effects of age, gender, education and race on performance […]

The long-term effect of group living homes versus regular nursing homes for people with dementia on psychological distress of informal caregivers
Objective: In this follow-up study, the long-term influence of group living homes (GLHs) on informal caregiver distress was compared with modern yet regular nursing homes (NHs).; Method: Informal caregivers of GLH (N = 37) and NH residents (N = 49) were studied at the time of admission, 6 months thereafter, and approximately 24 months after […]

Cognitive dysfunction in HIV patients despite long-standing suppression of viremia
Objective: To determine the prevalence of cognitive complaints and HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HANDs) in a cohort of aviremic HIV-positive patients. To evaluate the relevance of the HIV dementia scale to detect HANDs.; Design: Assessment of HANDs with neuropsychological tests.; Methods: Two hundred HIV-infected patients with undetectable HIV-1 RNA concentrations in the plasma, no history of […]

A randomized placebo-controlled pilot trial of omega-3 fatty acids and alpha lipoic acid in Alzheimer’s disease
Oxidative stress, inflammation, and increased cholesterol levels are all mechanisms that have been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology. Several epidemiologic studies have reported a decreased risk of AD with fish consumption. This pilot study was designed to evaluate the effects of supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids alone (ω-3) or omega-3 plus alpha lipoic acid […]

Relation of hemoglobin to level of cognitive function in older persons
Background: While decreased hemoglobin concentration is common in the elderly, the relationship of the entire range of hemoglobin concentrations with cognitive function is not well understood.; Methods: Cross-sectional analyses were conducted utilizing data from community-dwelling, older persons participating in the Rush Memory and Aging Project. Proximate to first available hemoglobin measurement, 21 cognitive tests were […]

Current treatments of Alzheimer disease: are main caregivers satisfied with the drug treatments received by their patients?
Background/aims: A full comparison of the satisfaction with treatment using the current Alzheimer’s disease (AD) therapies from the perspective of caregivers has not yet been done. The aim of this study was thus to find out the degree of satisfaction with the main available drug treatments in monotherapy for AD from this point of view.; […]

Cognitive function in early clinical phase huntington disease after rivastigmine treatment
Background: In Huntington disease (HD) patients receiving rivastigmine treatment improvement of behavioral symptoms and of cognitive function (assessed with screening diagnostic instruments) has been reported. The aim of the present study was to verify such improvement in cognitive function by cognitive function assessment with a detailed neuropsychological battery covering all relevant cognitive systems expected to […]

Dual-task performances can be improved in patients with dementia: a randomized controlled trial
Background: Deficits in attention-related cognitive performance measured as dual-task performance represent early markers of dementia and are associated with motor deficits and increased risk of falling. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a specific dual-task training in patients with mild to moderate dementia.; Methods: Sixty-one geriatric patients with confirmed dementia […]

Improvements in gait characteristics after intensive resistance and functional training in people with dementia: a randomised controlled trial
Background: Preventing and rehabilitating gait disorders in people with dementia during early disease stage is of high importance for staying independent and ambulating safely. However, the evidence gathered in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effectiveness of exercise training for improving spatio-temporal gait parameters in people with dementia is scarce. The aim of the present […]

An intensive exercise program improves motor performances in patients with dementia: translational model of geriatric rehabilitation
Background: Translation of intensive exercise programs developed specifically for patients with dementia into clinical settings is lacking.; Objective: To determine if a progressive resistance and functional training program, previously evaluated in dementia outpatients, can be implemented in a geriatric inpatient setting in order to improve motor performances in patients with dementia.; Methods: Eligible patients in […]
