[Safety at home for people with dementia: Preliminary evaluation of situations-at-risk in a French geriatric memory clinic]

30 Aug 2009 Community-dwelling people with Alzheimer's disease are exposed to situations-at-risk at home, but this phenomenon has rarely been studied empirically. The purpose of this pilot study was to describe the safety problems experienced at home in a ... Read more...

Persistence of neuropsychological testing deficits in mild cognitive impairment.

24 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The significant variability across studies of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in rates of progression to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and reversion to normal cognition may be due to differences in specific neuropsychological tests and ... Read more...

False recognition helps to distinguish patients with Alzheimer's disease and amnestic MCI from patients with other kinds of dementia.

18 Aug 2009 Two recent reviews on neuropsychological assessment argue that Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by deficits in delayed recall and that this allows differentiating AD from other types of dementia. We attempted to differentiate patients with ... Read more...
