Journal ArticleDOI
Dementia caregiver burden: a review of the literature and guidelines for assessment and intervention.
TL;DR: Predictors of caregiver outcome, predictors of institutionalization, and the effect of the caregiver on the course and symptomatology of dementia are described and a model of assessment and intervention for the physician, referral processes, and resources for the caregivers are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Localized orbitofrontal and subcortical metabolic changes and predictors of response to paroxetine treatment in obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Sanjaya Saxena,Arthur L. Brody,Karron M. Maidment,Jennifer J. Dunkin,M. Colgan,Shervin Alborzian,Michael E. Phelps,Lewis R. Baxter,Lewis R. Baxter +8 more
TL;DR: Evidence is added indicating that orbitofrontal–subcortical circuit function mediates the symptomatic expression of OCD, by determining how glucose metabolism in these structures changed with paroxetine treatment of OCD patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Executive dysfunction predicts nonresponse to fluoxetine in major depression
Jennifer J. Dunkin,Andrew F. Leuchter,Ian A. Cook,Julia E. Kasl-Godley,Michelle Abrams,Susan Rosenberg-Thompson +5 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that subtle prefrontal dysfunction in subjects with major depression may be predictive of poor response with particular medications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regional differences in brain electrical activity in dementia: use of spectral power and spectral ratio measures.
Andrew F. Leuchter,Ian A. Cook,Thomas F. Newton,Jennifer J. Dunkin,Donald O. Walter,Susan Rosenberg-Thompson,Peter A. Lachenbruch,Herbert Weiner +7 more
TL;DR: Combinations of several types of parameters may be more useful than individual parameters for distinguishing demented from non-demented subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological deficits among patients with late-onset minor and major depression
Virginia Elderkin-Thompson,Anand Kumar,Warren B. Bilker,Jennifer J. Dunkin,Jim Mintz,Paul J. Moberg,Raquelle I. Mesholam,Ruben E. Gur +7 more
TL;DR: Partial correlations controlling for age and education indicate that cognitive performance does decrease as severity of depression increases, and the magnitude of the change varies from a trend to a significant deficit depending on the cognitive domain.
