Validation of Alzheimer’s disease CSF and plasma biological markers: the multicentre reliability study of the pilot European Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (E-ADNI)

Background: Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiatives (“ADNI”) aim to validate neuroimaging and biochemical markers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Data of the pilot European-ADNI (E-ADNI) biological marker programme of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma candidate biomarkers are reported.; Methods: Six academic EADC centres recruited 49 subjects (healthy controls, subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD). We […]

Neuropsychological criteria for mild cognitive impairment improves diagnostic precision, biomarker associations, and progression rates

We compared two methods of diagnosing mild cognitive impairment (MCI): conventional Petersen/Winblad criteria as operationalized by the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) and an actuarial neuropsychological method put forward by Jak and Bondi designed to balance sensitivity and reliability. 1,150 ADNI participants were diagnosed at baseline as cognitively normal (CN) or MCI via ADNI criteria […]

Olive oil and cognition: results from the three-city study

Background: Olive oil is a major component of the Mediterranean diet suggested to be beneficial to counteract Alzheimer’s disease.; Aim Of the Study: Our objective was to examine the association between olive oil use, cognitive deficit and cognitive decline in a large elderly population.; Methods: We followed 6,947 subjects with a brief baseline food frequency […]

Obesity and impaired cognitive functioning in the elderly: a population-based cross-sectional study (NEDICES)

Background and Purpose: Studies of high body mass index (BMI) and cognition in the elderly have shown conflicting results. While some studies have shown a detrimental effect of high BMI on cognitive function, others have observed beneficial effects on cognition. Our aim was to assess cognitive function in a large population-based sample of overweight (BMI […]

Predicting decline in mild cognitive impairment: A prospective cognitive study

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to identify cognitive tests that differentiate between persons with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) who later develop cognitive decline and those who remain stable. Method: This study used a prospective longitudinal design. One hundred twenty-two older adults with single-domain or multiple-domain amnestic MCI were recruited from memory clinics. […]

A pilot study of the effects of internet-based cognitive stimulation on neuropsychological function in HIV disease

Purpose: Mild cognitive deficits associated with HIV disease can affect activities of daily living, so interventions that reduce them may have a long-term effect on quality of life. We evaluated the feasibility of a cognitive stimulation program (CSP) to improve neuropsychological test performance in HIV disease.; Methods: Sixty volunteers (30 HIV-infected) participated. The primary outcome […]

A brief neuropsychological battery for use in the chronic heart failure population

Background: Cognitive impairment is a recognized consequence of heart failure; however, there are no neuropsychological batteries with documented psychometric data in the chronic heart failure population.; Aims: To document the psychometric properties of a brief neuropsychological battery in a chronic heart failure sample.; Methods: The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status, Trail Making […]

Hostility and change in cognitive function over time in older blacks and whites

Objective: To test whether the level of hostility predicted the rate of cognitive decline in a community of older blacks and whites and whether the association varied as a function of race.; Methods: Over 4800 persons from a defined community in Chicago completed up to three structured interviews at approximately 3 year intervals over a […]

Learning to live with a loved one with mild cognitive impairment: effectiveness of a waiting list controlled trial of a group intervention on significant others’ sense of competence and well-being

This controlled study examines the efficacy of a comprehensive group program aimed at care partners of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which comprises elements of psychoeducation, cognitive rehabilitation, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Pre- and posttreatment quantitative and qualitative data were collected in the significant others of 84 patients with MCI, 27 of whom had […]

Group therapy for patients with mild cognitive impairment and their significant others: Results of a waiting-list controlled trial

Background: Patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have to deal with an uncertain prognosis and also face a multitude of memory-related problems and psychosocial consequences. A newly developed group programme proved to be feasible, however, it needed confirmation by a controlled study. Aim: This controlled study evaluates this group therapy for MCI patients aimed to […]
