Article Synopsis
- Measures of complex decision-making capacity, like the Assessment of Functional Capacity Interview (AFCI), are useful for identifying mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and could help in the early intervention of dementia care.
- In a study involving 97 older adults, those with cognitive impairment showed significantly lower AFCI scores, indicating difficulties in areas like safety and financial decision-making compared to those who were cognitively unimpaired or experiencing subjective cognitive decline.
- The results suggest that using the AFCI alongside cognitive tests could improve the assessment process and help prevent poor decision-making in older adults.
Collection of peripheral blood progenitor cells by leukapheresis is the preferred method to obtain grafts for autologous transplantation. Optimizing this procedure is important to warrant sufficient cell yield and reduce associated risks. To obtain sufficient to optimal yields of ≥ 2 to ≥ 5 × 10 CD34+ cells/kg body weight with a single leukapheresis procedure, success rates between 83 and 92% have been reported in children.
