One-year prognosis of non-traumatic cortical subarachnoid haemorrhage: A prospective series of 34 patients.

Introduction: Cortical subarachnoid haemorrhage (cSAH) has multiple aetiologies. No prospective study has reported the long-term progression of the condition. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical and aetiological characteristics of patients with cSAH and to gain insight into prognosis.

Translation and adaptation of the Disability Assessment for Dementia scale in the Spanish population.

Background And Objective: Functional assessment is especially relevant in patients with cognitive impairment (CI). The Disability Assessment for Dementia (DAD) scale assesses functional ability and its use is becoming increasingly popular. This study aims to perform the translation and cultural adaptation of the DAD scale in order to create a Spanish version: DAD-E.

[Patients with mild cognitive impairment and a reduced CSF Aβ₁₋₄₂ protein progress rapidly to Alzheimer's disease].

Introduction: Some studies have shown that CSF amyloid-beta 1-42 (Aβ₁₋₄₂), total tau (T-tau) and tau phosphorylated at threonine 181 (P-tau(181p)) proteins are useful diagnostic markers for distinguishing between clinically stable mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients and those who will develop Alzheimeŕs disease (AD). Our objective was to test the ability of this technique to discriminate in our cohort of MCI patients, according to the clinical outcome, one year after the lumbar puncture.

Material And Methods: A total of 36 MCI patients were included from the local hospital memory clinic.
