Abstract

Pause is a prosodic parameter used in oral statements, and has been used in this research study to analyze the discourse of two Alzheimer's patients. This disorder does not only manifest clinically, but in communicative situations and discourses that can be observed through pauses, for example. Data for analysis were taken from a corpus of speech samples provided by Laboratorio de Neurociencias (Neuroscience Laboratory) at Universidad del Zulia (LUZ). For analysis, samples with voiced and unvoiced pauses were selected. Duration was the acoustic parameter mostly analyzed. Thus, pause in Alzheimer's discourse shows linguistic and cognitive deficits because discourses observed present more and longer pauses than normal subjects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Art in its many expressions is a product of the evolved human brain, with its own neuronal networks. These pathways are more resistant to some pathological processes, as cerebrovascular disorders, acquired brain injury and particularly to Alzheimer's disease and related dementia. As education, bilingualism, intellectual challenging jobs, and healthy life style are all inductors of cognitive reserve, We are proposing that many expressions of Art as, Music, Painting, and Writing should be also considered as Reserve Capacity builders.

Abstract

Introduction. The "7- Minute Screen" is a neurocognitive screening test for the detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients in primary care settings. It consists of 4 brief subtests (orientation, memory, visuoconstruction and verbal fluency) and provides a broader neuropsychological profile than other widely used screening tests. The aim of the present study was to study the usefulness of this screening test for the detection of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Methods. Thirty-two patients with probable AD (NINCDS-ADRDA criteria), 25 patients with MCI, and 35 healthy control subjects, matched for age and education, underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological battery and the Rio-de-la-Plata version of the 7-Minute Screen. Results. This test showed 93 % sensitivity and 97 % specificity in detecting mild-moderate Alzheimer's disease MMSE < 24), but it exhibited a substantially decreased sensitivity (28 %) in its ability to detect MCI in AD (MMSE >24). Conclusion. The screening batteries do not replace a more comprehensive neuro psychological assessment. They are useful in detecting patients with mild dementia, but caution must be the rule when considering a diagnosis of MCL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
