Primary Objective: To compare results on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to those on the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to predict the outcome at discharge from the acute care setting.
Research Design: A retrospective study.
Methods And Procedures: The MoCA and the MMSE were administered to 214 patients with TBI during their acute care hospitalization in a Level I trauma centre. Outcome was measured with the Disability Rating Scale (DRS).
Main Outcomes And Results: A linear regression determined that the MoCA, the MMSE, TBI severity, education level and presence of diffuse injuries predicted 57% of the total variability of the DRS scores. The model without the MMSE had a R2 of 53.7% and the model without the MoCA had a R2 of 55.0%. The models without the MMSE or the MoCA had a R2 of 24.9%.
Conclusions: These results indicated that the MoCA and the MMSE function as similar predictors of the DRS at discharge.

Background The maintenance of cognitive health depends on thyroid hormones, and it is becoming more widely acknowledged that thyroid hormone issues may be a factor in cognitive decline in the aged. Objective This study aimed to investigate the association between thyroid hormone levels and cognitive decline among elderly individuals, considering the influence of age-related factors and comorbidities. Methodology Over the course of two years, 218 adults 60 years of age and older with clinically diagnosed hypothyroidism or subclinical thyroid disease were included in a prospective observational research.

Introduction: More and more evidence suggesting that internal carotid artery stenosis is not only a risk factor for ischemic stroke but also for cognitive impairments. Hypoperfusion and silent micro emboli have been reported as the pathophysiological mechanisms causing cognitive impairment. The effect of carotid artery stenting (CAS) on cognitive function varied from study to study.
