This recent clinical trial evaluated the effects of a particular extract (Memo[R]) on

The assignment to augment the textbook reading assignments on "cognitive deficits and diagnosis" is to view the free

Severity of SDB, regardless of the measure used, was associated with cognitive impairment as measured by the

The researchers tested immediate memory and delayed recall, and also administered two other tests known as the

Progression has been measured using various endpoints, such as global cognitive function, or tools, such as the
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE).
The subjects underwent a cognitive assessment with the Modified
Mini-Mental State Examination during their baseline examinations and again in a follow-up interview completed during 1998-1999.
Patients were followed daily throughout their hospitalization for evidence of dementia assessed using 3 cognitive tests (the
Mini-Mental State Examination, the Digit Span test, and the Confusion Assessment Method rating).
The
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) [27] was originally developed in institutionalized subjects but has been widely used for population screening to estimate the prevalence of severe cognitive impairment.
Using a test called the
Mini-Mental State Examination, the investigators discovered that 44 percent of the volunteers improved their scores by three or more points after treatment.
Mental status was assessed using the
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Confusion Assessment Method (CAM) both simple bedside tests routinely used in clinical practice.
