Treatment for patients with neglekt after ischemic stroke.

Objective: Introduction: Motion disturbances are one of the main causes of disabling patients after a stroke, causing problems of walking and balance. Only 20% of patients after a stroke are returned to work, and only 10% of patients can return a daily activity level that was before the disease. Cognitive impairment occurs in 30-50% of patients who have suffered a cerebral stroke.

Association between depressive symptoms and cognitive impairment in patients with metabolic syndrome.

Introduction: Metabolic dysregulation is intimately associated with wide array of seemingly unrelated disorders, including cognitive impairment and depression. The aim was: to identify special characteristic features of depressive disorder in patients with metabolic syndrome (Mets); to identify possible association between depressive disorder (DD) and cognitive impairment in patients with Mets; to establish whether metabolic syndrome and its components are associated with severity of DD.

Materials And Methods: The study group consisted of 108 patients with depressive disorders aged from 45 to 84 years.
