Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease: Characterization and impact on quality of life according to subtype.

Aim: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was initially described as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. Because of differences in baseline cognitive abilities, MCI in Parkinson's disease (PD; PD-MCI) requires distinct neuropsychological criteria for diagnosis and follow up. In addition to representing a risk factor for PD-related dementia, PD-MCI results in higher morbidity, which can be reduced through early detection.

Volumetric brain analysis as a predictor of a worse cognitive outcome in Parkinson's disease.

Unlabelled: Cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) results in significant morbidity and mortality being early diagnosis essential. Identification of patients who are at higher risk of developing cognitive impairment based only on clinical data is not sufficient. To this end, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with automatic segmentation, such as FreeSurfer, could be a useful tool with high accuracy because it has histological validation.

Symptoms of depression in patients with mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease.

Objective: To investigate the most frequent depressive symptoms and their association with cognition in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Methods: 48 patients with PD and 44 controls (CG), aged between 50 and 80 years and with at least 4 years of formal education, all with MCI and none diagnosed with depression, were assessed. Patients and controls were matched for age, education, and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) score.

Correlation of MRI Visual Scales with Neuropsychological Profile in Mild Cognitive Impairment of Parkinson's Disease.

Few studies have evaluated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visual scales in Parkinson's disease-Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI). We selected 79 PD patients and 92 controls (CO) to perform neurologic and neuropsychological evaluation. Brain MRI was performed to evaluate the following scales: Global Cortical Atrophy (GCA), Fazekas, and medial temporal atrophy (MTA).

Working memory intervention programs for adults: A systematic review.

Unlabelled: This systematic review aimed to identify the designs, procedures, and results of empirical studies that performed neuropsychological interventions on WM in adults.

Methods: A PubMed and LILACS literature search was conducted using the keywords AND () AND .

Results: Of the seven studies found, three were randomized controlled trials, two were case reports, one was a clinical trial, and one was an evaluation study.
