TL;DR: The results suggest that functional activity of the bilateral superior parietal lobules is closely related to performance time on the TMT-A, which might be a promising index of dysfunction of the superiorParietal area among mild AD patients.

TL;DR: Transfer of adult patients with severe but potentially reversible respiratory failure, whose Murray score exceeds 3.0 or who have a pH of less than 7.20 on optimum conventional management, to a centre with an ECMO-based management protocol is recommended to significantly improve survival without severe disability.

TL;DR: High-intensity resistance exercise training is a feasible and effective means of counteracting muscle weakness and physical frailty in very elderly people, in contrast to multi-nutrient supplementation without concomitant exercise, which does not reduce muscle weakness orPhysical frailty.

Population-based norms for the mini-mental state examination by age and educational level
TL;DR: Results presented should prove to be useful to clinicians who wish to compare an individual patient's MMSE scores with a population reference group and to researchers making plans for new studies in which cognitive status is a variable of interest.

Endarterectomy for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
TL;DR: Patients with asymptomaticCarotid artery stenosis of 60% or greater reduction in diameter and whose general health makes them good candidates for elective surgery will have a reduced 5-year risk of ipsilateral stroke if carotid endarterectomy performed with less than 3% perioperative morbidity and mortality is added to aggressive management of modifiable risk factors.

Eileen Withers,John Hinton +1 more
TL;DR: Three parallel forms of the clinical tests of the sensorium were devised, tried out and modified on two groups of 24 subjects and correlated moderately well when repeated.

“Memory Function” in Psychiatric Patients Over Sixty, Some Methodological and Diagnostic Implications
TL;DR: The present paper has attempted to attack the problem of differential “memory function” by examining the discriminating power of certain test results as between “functional”, “doubtful” and “organic” groups of elderly patients, showing that the best discrimination between the groups is achieved by a simple perceptual task.

A Psychometric Study of Senility
TL;DR: It is shown that tests for senility should be short, especially those with oral questions, because of straying attention, impaired comprehension, and short retention, andPerseveration is greatly increased in senescence; it can be brought out merely by having a succession of short, varied items.
