Sleep, Cognition May Be Closely Linked in People With Bipolar Disorder
Sleep abnormalities and cognition in bipolar disorder may be related, and may affect cognition in this patient population.
Cognitive Impairment
Frontal Lobe Cognitive Dysfunction Symptom Reduction Associated With Rotigotine Therapy
Researchers conducted a randomized clinical trial to assess whether 24 weeks of treatment with rotigotine can modify cognitive functions in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease.
Left Atrial Enlargement With AF Not Associated With Greater Cognitive Decline
Left atrial enlargement with vs without atrial fibrillation was not found to be associated with greater cognitive decline over a 5-year period.
Economic Hardship Results in Reduced Cognitive Function
Data emphasize the impact of poverty on certain aging outcomes, notably physical performance, cognitive ability, and systemic inflammation.
Cortisol Levels May Contribute to Global Cognitive Decline in Elderly Adults With Depression
These data indicate that cortisol levels may contribute to the cognitive decline observed in elderly adults with late-life depression.
Apathy Associated With Increased Risk for Dementia
These findings have high clinical relevance because patients with apathy are likely to withdraw from care.
Intensive Blood Pressure Control Cuts Combined Mild Cognitive Impairment, Dementia Risk
In the previous SPRINT study, researchers compared an intensive BP reduction strategy (target systolic BP <120 mmHg) vs standard BP reduction strategy (target systolic BP <140 mmHg).
Depression, Apathy Associated With Increased Risk for Mild Cognitive Impairment
Adults with depressive symptoms and apathy in middle and late life were at a higher risk for conversion to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia.
Hearing Aids May Mitigate Cognitive Decline, Memory Loss
Using hearing aids may slow cognitive decline in later life.
Systematic Review of Automated Cognitive Tests Yields Little Useful Clinical Guidance
The researchers noted that automated tests should not be used alone, but should instead be used as part of a comprehensive evaluation that must include clinical judgment and involve traditional assessor-guided cognitive batteries.
