Clock Drawing Test in acute stroke and its relationship with long-term functional and cognitive outcomes.
CONCLUSION: Performance on the CDT in acute stroke is related to long-term outcomes including patients' degree of independence in performing activities of daily living, the degree to which they achieved reintegration into daily occupations, and the degree of cognitive decline observed one-year post-stroke. Future studies are needed to clarify the nature of the relationship between different CDT scoring systems and post-stroke outcomes. PMID: 29985104 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The Association of Depression, Cognitive Impairment Without Dementia, and Dementia With Risk of Ischemic Stroke: A Cohort Study
Conclusions: CIND and co-occurring depression and CIND are independently associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke. Individuals with co-occurring depression and CIND represent a high-risk group that may benefit from targeted interventions to prevent stroke.

Alzheimer's disease is associated with increased risk of haemorrhagic stroke
Question Question: Are community-dwelling people with Alzheimer's disease at increased risk of stroke, and is there a difference by type of stroke? People: All 28 093 community-dwelling adults with Alzheimer's disease living in Finland on 31 December 2005, who were each matched to a person without Alzheimer's disease by age, sex and region of residence (total n=56 186; mean age 79.6 years; 67.8% were female; age range 42–101). People with strokes prior to 1 January 2006 or to their Alzheimer's diagnosis were excluded along with their matched controls, as were pairs where the matched controls had been e...

Lifestyle and Neurocognition in Older Adults With Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Cognitive Impairment
Conclusions: Higher levels of physical activity, aerobic fitness, and adherence to the DASH diet are associated with better neurocognitive performance in adults with CIND. These findings suggest that the adoption of healthy lifestyle habits could reduce the risk of neurocognitive decline in vulnerable older adults. Clinical Trial Registration: NCT01573546.

Changes in painting styles of two artists with Alzheimer's disease.
A substantial body of literature supports the idea that systematic changes can occur in artists' painting styles after the onset of degenerating neurological illnesses like Alzheimer's disease or Fronto-temporal dementia. However, these studies have typically been descriptive and qualitative in their analyses. Our study was motivated to show that quantitative methods can be applied to the neuropsychology of art production and to determine whether there are systematic changes in the art produced by two individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Using the Assessment of Art Attributes which probes 6 formal characteristics (de...

Preliminary Evidence of Disparities in Physical Activity among Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder
Conclusions Frontal-executive dysfunction implicates frontal brain regions, which are known to be susceptible to oxidative damage. Further studies are needed, and those examining psychiatric populations may be especially fruitful. Focusing on youth may yield enhanced signal detection. Further study is needed to identify which antioxidant interventions work best for which cognitive functions and for which patients.

Reaction times match IQ for major causes of mortality: Evidence from a population based prospective cohort study.
Conclusion: The association between intelligence with mortality from the major causes is also seen with reaction times. That effect sizes are of similar magnitude is suggestive of a common cause. It also implies that the association of cognitive ability with mortality is unlikely to be due to any social, cultural or educational biases that are sometimes ascribed to intelligence measures.

Limb apraxia profiles in different clinical samples.
CONCLUSION: Different types of patients display varying limb apraxic symptoms detectable by the DILA-S. In these limb apraxia susceptible populations, testing should be warranted as standard. Prospectively, individual error profiles may be helpful for shaping motor cognitive training. PMID: 31002018 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The DAISY psychosocial intervention does not improve outcomes in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease or their carers
Question Question: What are the effects of a semitailored multicomponent intervention for patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and their carers? Patients: In total, 330 patients with recently diagnosed mild Alzheimer's disease living in the community and their caregivers. Other inclusion criteria: age ≥50 years, DSM-IV dementia, probable Alzheimer's disease (National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) criteria) or Lewy body dementia (McKeith criteria), diagnosis in past 12 months, mini-mental state exam...

Outcomes: Progression to dementia or Alzheimer's disease (National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's disease and Related Disorders Association (NINDS-ARDRA), International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV criteria), dementia with Lewy bodies or vascular dementia (consensus criteria) at 12, 24 and 36 months and adverse events.

Blood Pressure and Cognition Among Older Adults: A Meta-Analysis.
Abstract Hypertension has adverse effects on cognition, can alter cerebral vasculature integrity, and is associated with the pathogenesis of dementia. Using meta-analysis, we correlated blood pressure to multiple cognitive domains among older adults free of clinical stroke and dementia. We identified 230 studies indexed in PubMed and PsycINFO relating blood pressure and cognition. After applying exclusion criteria, we selected n = 12 articles with n = 4,076 participants (age range 43-91 years). Meta-analysis yielded an association between blood pressure and episodic memory (r = -.18, p < .001) and between blood...

Increased depression risk among patients with chronic osteomyelitis
Inflammatory processes, which provoke alternations of neurotransmitter metabolism, neuroendocrine function, and neuroplasticity in the brain, might promote depression. In depression patients who do not exhibit risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease and dementia, particularly in young people, inflammation is a likely risk factor for depression. We explored whether chronic osteomyelitis (COM), a chronic inflammatory disease, increases depression risk.

Aims: To assess the influence of physical illness on risk of suicide among rural residents of China, and to examine the differences in the characteristics of people completing suicide with physical illness from those without physical illness. Method: In all, 200 suicide cases and 200 control subjects, 1:1 pair-matched on sex and age, were included from 25 townships of three randomly selected counties in Shandong Province, China. One informant for each suicide or control subject was interviewed to collect data ...

Depression – not just in your head, it’s also in your genes
We all want to understand telomeres, the caps at the ends of our DNA strands, because the longer they are the longer we tend to live – and live freer of age related illnesses like heart disease, stroke, dementia, diabetes, and osteoporosis - and are free of depression.read more
