MRI biomarkers of vascular damage and atrophy predicting mortality in a memory clinic population.

22 Dec 2008 BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: MRI biomarkers play an important role in the diagnostic work-up of dementia, but their prognostic value is less well-understood. We investigated if simple MRI rating scales predict mortality in a memory clinic population. ... Read more...

Prediction of cognitive dysfunction after resuscitation from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest using serum neuron-specific enolase and protein S-100.

11 May 2007 BACKGROUND: More than 50% of patients initially resuscitated from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest die in hospital. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prognostic value of serum protein S-100 and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) concentrations for predicting ... Read more...

Vasodilators and nootropics as predictors of dementia and mortality in the PAQUID cohort.

27 Feb 2007 OBJECTIVES: To assess the effects of treatment for memory impairment and the Ginkgo biloba extract (EGb 761) on dementia, mortality, and survival without dementia. DESIGN: Prospective community-based cohort study. SETTING: France. PARTICIPANTS: ... Read more...
