- 这项研究通过在100%的西班牙语西班牙裔样本中检查NIHTB-CB性能来弥补这一差距.
研究的目的:
- 在健康的老年人中,研究NIHTB-CB测试和复合分数的差异,以及有amnestic轻度认知障碍 (aMCI) 的个人,以及患有阿尔茨海默氏症类型轻度痴呆症 (mDAT) 的个人.
- 评估NIHTB-CB在区分特定风险种族群体内认知功能的有用性.
主要方法:
- 该研究涉及125名健康老年人,123人患有aMCI,28人患有轻度DAT来自ARMADA研究.
- 参与者接受了NIHTB-CB,包括口头阅读识别,图片词汇,列表排序工作记忆,图片序列记忆,模式比较处理速度,维度变化卡排序和侧面抑制控制和注意力的测试.
- 分析包括ANOVA来比较得分,根据年龄,教育,性别和研究地点进行调整.
主要成果:
- 与健康对照组相比,患有aMCI和轻度DAT的个体在所有NIHTB-CB测量和复合结果上得分明显低.
- 对于列表排序工作记忆,模式比较处理速度,维度变化卡片排序和图片词汇,观察到高标准化平均差异.

Chronic Kidney Disease II: Clinical Manifestations
520
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) progressively impairs multiple body systems due to the accumulation of uremic toxins, which disrupt cellular functions across various organs.Neurologic symptomsNeurologic symptoms often arise early in CKD, as uremic toxin buildup drives changes in cognitive and motor functions. Patients frequently experience fatigue, headache, confusion, difficulty concentrating, and, in severe cases, seizures. Peripheral neuropathy commonly manifests as burning sensations in the...

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is a primary health risk worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. The condition arises from the buildup of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, resulting in diminished blood supply to the heart muscle.The clinical manifestations of CAD vary widely, from asymptomatic stages to severe, life-threatening conditions. Understanding these manifestations is crucial for early diagnosis and effective management.Angina Pectoris: The Warning...

Heart failure (HF) manifests primarily as dyspnea, fatigue, and fluid retention, resulting in peripheral and pulmonary edema. Symptoms may vary depending on which ventricle is more affected, left or right.Left-Sided Heart FailureAlso known as left ventricular failure, this condition results from the left ventricle's inability to fill or eject sufficient blood into the systemic circulation. It leads to pulmonary congestion, which occurs when the left ventricle fails to eject blood effectively...

Hypertension III: Clinical Manifestations and Diagnostic Studies
437
Hypertension is asymptomatic and also referred to as the "silent killer" until it progresses to a severe stage or causes target organ disease. Patients may experience symptoms stemming from the strain on blood vessels and tissues in various organs or the heart's increased workload.Physical exams might show no abnormalities other than high blood pressure. Signs of vascular damage, when present, correspond to the organs supplied by the affected vessels, leading to target organ damage. For...
