Article Synopsis
- Visual mental imagery (VMI) is the brain's ability to create images without actual sensory input, and it shows changes in Alzheimer's disease (AD) but hasn't been studied in the earlier stage called mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
- The study examined VMI in 14 mild AD patients, 19 with amnestic MCI, and 23 healthy controls using specific tests to measure different VMI processes.
- Results indicated that AD patients struggled significantly with image creation and manipulation, while those with aMCI had issues mostly with creating mental images, suggesting VMI deficits appear early in the progression of Alzheimer's.
Purpose: Optimal follow-up strategies following trimodal treatment for muscle invasive bladder cancer play a crucial role in detecting and managing relapse and side-effects. This article provides a comprehensive summary of the patterns and risk factors of relapse, functional outcomes, and follow-up protocols.
Methods: A systematic literature search on PubMed and review of current guidelines and institutional follow-up protocols after trimodal therapy were conducted.
Article Synopsis
- Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe epilepsy affecting adults and this study explores long-term cognitive and adaptive behavior outcomes in adults with LGS, an area not extensively studied before.
- *The study involved 38 adults with LGS, finding that all participants had low adaptive behavior scores, especially in daily living skills and socialization, with younger diagnosis age linked to worse outcomes.
- *Results showed specific associations between clinical factors (like seizure frequency and EEG abnormalities) with lower adaptive behavior scores, and treatment with cannabidiol was linked to better outcomes compared to benzodiazepines.
