Abstract:
The role of cognitive reserve in determining the severity of dementia following a stroke in individuals aged 55 and above is of interest. Hence, a total of 128 stroke survivors were followed for 12 months post-event, with cognitive reserve quantified using education level, occupational attainment and engagement in cognitive activities. Higher cognitive reserve scores were associated with milder post-stroke dementia outcomes and better functional independence. Thus, we show that cognitive reserve is a significant protective factor against severe cognitive decline after stroke.

Graphical and Analytic Representation of Sinusoids
The first step is measuring the peak-to-peak value, which is twice the amplitude of the sinusoid. This provides information about the maximum voltage swing of the waveform.
Secondly, the period and angular frequency are determined. The period is the time taken for one complete cycle of the waveform, while...
