Detecting Dementia With the Mini-Mental State Examination in Highly Educated Individuals

TL;DR: Older patients with a college education who present with complaints of cognitive decline and score less than 27 on the MMSE are at a greater risk of being diagnosed with dementia and should be referred for a comprehensive dementia evaluation, including formal neuropsychological testing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of REM sleep behavior disorder and neurodegenerative disease may reflect an underlying synucleinopathy.

TL;DR: Whether rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder occurs in disproportionally greater frequency in multiple system atrophy, Parkinson's disease, and dementia with Lewy bodies, collectively known as the synucleinopathies, compared to other nonsynucleinopathy neurodegenerative disorders is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of Low Plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 Ratios With Increased Imminent Risk for Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer Disease

TL;DR: The plasma Aβ42/Aβ40 ratio may be a useful premorbid biomarker for identifying cognitively normal elderly white subjects who are at increased risk for developing MCI or AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Validation of the Mayo Sleep Questionnaire to screen for REM sleep behavior disorder in an aging and dementia cohort

TL;DR: Data suggest that among aged subjects with cognitive impairment and/or parkinsonism, the MSQ has adequate SN and SP for the diagnosis of RBD, and the utility of this scale in other patient populations will require further study.
