These differences in clinical features suggest a different pathogenesis of parkinsonism in these 2 patient groups.
-
Twenty formal carers employed in three nursing homes narrated 92 episodes of lucidity (ELs) in people with severe dementia.
Why it matters
Twenty formal carers in three nursing homes narrated 92 episodes of lucidity in people with severe dementia, mostly involving speech, often occurring spontaneously when carers made no demands and regarded patients as valuable. The authors question the assumption that severe dementia destroys the self or personhood, but this is a qualitative study of care experiences and reports no treatment, cure or prevention.

Renal failure is relatively common, but except in association with spina bifida or paraplegia it is unlikely to occur as a result of disease of the CNS.
-
We conducted a single-stage community-based study of dementia on all registered residents > or =65 years in age in a rural Chinese community.
Why it matters
This community-based study measured how common dementia was in a rural Chinese population. It found lower prevalence rates than in Western populations and that age was a risk factor, but it does not test any treatment or cure.
-
Our results provide some support for the lateralised model of material specific memory deficits, but suggest that a number of demographic and epilepsy-related factors may interact with the extent and laterality of hippocampal pathology in shaping the nature of the associated neuropsychological deficit.
-
Microvascular disease, not macroscopic infarction, was the chief substrate of vascular dementia in this series of cases.
-
Our hospice enrollment criteria identified a group with a median survival time of 4 months and a mean survival time of 6.9 months.
-
Identified population, pro-rating for identifiable non-response, accounted for 78% of EURODEM prevalence.
Why it matters
This survey found high levels of need in a local population with dementia known to services, with assistance required more than once a day for mobility, personal care, domestic tasks, and behavioural problems. It confirmed the value of a broad-based survey snapshot across the range of settings.
-
These findings, which are generally consistent with prior reports of reduced hippocampal volume in combat veterans with PTSD, suggest that diminished hippocampal size may be either a consequence of trauma exposure or a risk factor for the development of psychiatric complications following trauma exposure.
-
The hippocampal formation, which contains high levels of adrenal steroid receptors, is vulnerable to insults such as stroke, seizures, and head trauma, and it is also sensitive and vulnerable to the effects of stress.
-
Extrahippocampal volume abnormalities were bilateral and occurred in both temporal and extra-temporal cortical regions in TLE, whereas hippocampal deficits were related to the side of the epileptogenic focus.
-
Patients with delirium, dementia, depression, and schizophrenia were administered a newly developed test designed to identify delirium in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting.
-
A retrospective case note audit was conducted in order to determine the most prevalent symptoms in terminal dementia and to assess the palliation given.
-
We have determined the volume and location of hippocampal tissue required for normal acquisition of a spatial memory task.
-
Newly proposed criteria for Lewy body dementia include alterations in consciousness.
-
These findings are consistent with a smaller right hippocampal volume in PTSD that is associated with functional deficits in verbal memory.
-
It has been suggested that the physical basis for dementia is structural or functional loss of synapses.
-
A national survey of hospices revealed that few patients with primary dementia are currently treated by these programs, unless they have other terminal illnesses.
-
Neurospectroscopy measures a neuronal marker, energy and redox state, specific fuels of tissue respiration, maturation, and possibly myelination.
-
The authors critically reviewed 26 international and American outcome studies that assessed the effect of psychiatric comorbidity on length of stay for medical/surgical inpatients.
-
Functional and structural neuroimaging techniques are increasingly indispensable in the evaluation of epileptic patients for localization of the epileptic area as well as for understanding pathophysiology, propagation, and neurochemical correlates of chronic epilepsy.
-
In the study of brain morphometry, it is accepted that a relationship exists between brain structure and function, both normal and abnormal.
-
Professional and family members of demented individuals, especially if they have experience in terminal care decisions, strongly favor palliative care for end-stage dementia.

One was associated with moderate to marked cerebral amyloid deposition ("pathological aging"), while the other had either minimal or no amyloid deposition ("normal aging").
-
Neuropathologic and neuroradiologic studies have reported hippocampal abnormalities in schizophrenics.
