Predictors of patient wishes and influence of family and clinicians are discussed.
-
Nursing home residence is by far the most prominent association with fecal incontinence, with a prevalence approaching 50%.
-
Antidepressants may have a neuroprotective effect during depression.
-
End-of-life care for persons with dementia in different care settings was retrospectively surveyed.
-
Hospice is the standard method for providing quality end-of-life care in the United States.
-
Studies have examined hippocampal function and volume in depressed subjects, but none have systematically compared never-treated first-episode patients with those who have had multiple episodes.
-
Recent findings suggest a possible role of diet in age-related cognitive decline, and cognitive impairment of both degenerative (Alzheimer's disease, AD) or vascular origin.
-
A smaller hippocampal volume in adult women with major depressive disorder was observed exclusively in those who had a history of severe and prolonged physical and/or sexual abuse in childhood.

Average life expectancy throughout developed countries has rapidly increased during the latter half of the 20th century and geriatric infectious diseases have become an increasingly important issue.
-
Because the automatic calculations were faster and less susceptible to rater bias than manual tracing, this automated method is expected to be very useful for analyzing hippocampal changes in studies of aging and dementia.
-
Age has a powerful effect on enhanced susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases, including susceptibility to stroke and cognitive impairment (CI) even in optimally healthy individuals.
-
Dementia is a progressive terminal disease.
-
These data provide further evidence of structural brain abnormalities in geriatric depression, particularly in patients with a longer course of illness.
-
The effect of depression on the hippocampus has become the focus of a number of structural and functional neuroimaging studies.
-

Little is known of the palliative care needs and experiences of older adults.
-
Goals The physicians' decision-making process in terminal care is complex: medical, ethical, legal and psychological aspects are all involved, particularly in critical situations.
-
The purpose of this literature review was to assess the current state of affairs in end-of-life care for persons with dementia, to identify barriers to the provision of high-quality care, and to describe exemplary programs that have discovered ways to overcome these barriers.
-
36/100
Frontal contributions to cognitive decline in aging were explored using functional MRI.
-
The present study measured prefrontal cortical gray and white matter volume in chronic, male schizophrenic subjects who were characterized by a higher proportion of mixed or negative symptoms than previous patients that we have evaluated.
-
Systematic evaluation of end-of-life care in dementia has been hampered by a lack of instruments to specifically address those issues that are unique for persons who are dying with dementia.
-
Smaller hippocampal volume is not a necessary risk factor for developing PTSD and does not occur within 6 months of expressing the disorder.
