Dementia Overdiagnosis in Younger, Higher Educated Individuals Based on MMSE Alone: Analysis Using Deep Learning Technology.

Background: Dementia is a multifaceted disorder that affects cognitive function, necessitating accurate diagnosis for effective management and treatment. Although the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is widely used to assess cognitive impairment, its standalone efficacy is debated. This study examined the effectiveness of the MMSE alone versus in combination with other cognitive assessments in predicting dementia diagnosis, with the aim of refining the diagnostic accuracy for dementia.

Using Deep Learning Techniques as an Attempt to Create the Most Cost-Effective Screening Tool for Cognitive Decline.

Objective: This study aimed to use deep learning (DL) to develop a cost-effective and accessible screening tool to improve the detection of cognitive decline, a precursor of Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study integrating a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests adjusted for individual demographic variables such as age, sex, and education level.

Methods: A total of 2,863 subjects with subjective cognitive complaints who underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological assessment were included.

Review of Visualization Approaches in Deep Learning Models of Glaucoma.

Glaucoma is a major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. As glaucoma often presents without symptoms, early detection and intervention are important in delaying progression. Deep learning (DL) has emerged as a rapidly advancing tool to help achieve these objectives.

Amblyopia and strabismus by monocular corneal opacity following suspected epidemic keratoconjunctivitis in infancy.

Purpose: To identify the long term clinical course of amblyopia and strabismus that developed secondary to a monocular corneal opacity following suspected epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) in infancy.

Methods: This was a retrospective study analyzing the medical records of seven patients, treated in our clinic, who were followed for more than five years.

Results: Four patients in our clinic underwent a corneal ulcer treatment following suspected EKC.
