Validation study of the Italian Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised in a young-old and old-old population

2011

<i>Aims:</i> The main aims of the study were the translation and the subsequent validation in Italian of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R), and the evaluation of its usefulness in discriminating cognitively normal subjects from patients with mild dementia in an elderly population. <i>Methods:</i> The ACE-R was translated and adapted into Italian. The Italian ACE-R was administered to a group of 179 elderly subjects (72 cognitively healthy and 107 subjects with mild dementia, mean age 75.4 ± 6.4 years). The group was stratified into two subsamples according to age, i.e. a young-old (<75 years) and an old-old (≧75 years) group, in order to eval…

Normative data of BMI and physical fitness in a Norwegian sample of early adolescents.

2013

Aim: The purpose of the present study was to 1) provide normative data quantifying the physical fitness level and body mass index of 13–15-year-old Norwegian adolescents using a multi-component fitness assessment, and 2) compare the physical fitness of Norwegian teenagers with available European and International fitness data. Methods: 1059 adolescents (529 males, 530 females) from 12 public schools in Kristiansand were invited to testing at age 13, 14, and 15 years (Grades 8–10). Test participation was 75%–80%. The participants performed objectively anthropometrical measures (height and weight) and six field-based physical fitness tests. Results and Conclusions: As expected, sex differenc…

Spatial analysis of the relationship between mortality from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and drinking water hardness

2004

Journal Article; Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't; Reproduced with permission from Environmental Health Perspectives. Previously published scientific papers have reported a negative correlation between drinking water hardness and cardiovascular mortality. Some ecologic and case-control studies suggest the protective effect of calcium and magnesium concentration in drinking water. In this article we present an analysis of this protective relationship in 538 municipalities of Comunidad Valenciana (Spain) from 1991-1998. We used the Spanish version of the Rapid Inquiry Facility (RIF) developed under the European Environment and Health Information System (EUROHEIS) research project. The strateg…

Demonstration of endogenous lectins in synovial tissue.

1991

We have recently shown that synoviocytes and extracellular matrices exhibit distinct patterns of carbohydrate expression. Their biological relevance is however not known. The purpose of the present study was to find out whether human synovial tissue would also show a specific receptor pattern for complex sugar molecules. Endogenous lectins were displayed by means of biotinylated neoglycoproteins and sulfated polysaccharides in paraffin-embedded material or cryosections. In addition to certain carbohydrate components that are known to be constituents of the carbohydrate part of cellular glycoconjugates, our panel included heparin and fucoidan, a sulfated fucose. Binding sites were shown usin…

Abdominale, perineale und vaginale sonographische Diagnose der Zervikalinsuffizienz

2008

In patients with cervical incompetence, the diagnostic efficiency of abdominal, perineal and vaginal sonography was compared. 73 patients, who were divided into three groups, were examined: Group A (n = 50) control group, Group B (n = 11) normal pregnancies, Group C (n = 12) pregnancies with demonstrated cervical incompetence. According to our results, using vaginal sonography, only the incompetent pregnancies showed significant shortening of the cervical length. Characteristic scans were also obtained (membrane herniation) which were useful in diagnosis and control in the performance of cerclage.

Erfasst der FBT lokale visuelle Informationsverarbeitung bei Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen?

2010

Fragestellung: Der kognitive Phänotyp von Autismus-Spektrum-Störungen (ASS) ist unter anderem durch eine Neigung zu lokaler Informationsverarbeitung (schwacher zentraler Kohärenz) gekennzeichnet. Es wurde untersucht, ob der Fragmentierte Bilder Test (FBT) diese Präferenz zu erfassen vermag. Methodik: Die FBT-Leistungen 15 autistischer, 16 depressiver und 16 schizophrener Patienten sowie von 16 typisch entwickelten Kontrollpersonen wurden verglichen. Mit dem Embedded Figures Test (EFT) und dem Mosaiktest (MT) wurden ebenfalls validierte Tests lokaler Informationsverarbeitung erhoben. Ergebnisse: Patienten mit ASS zeigten eine Präferenz für lokale Informationsverarbeitung, d. h. Beeinträchti…

Sonographic size of uterus and ovaries in pre- and postmenopausal women

1996

Uterine and ovarian size were measured in 765 pre- and postmenopausal women by transvaginal ultrasound. Of these, 263 (premenopausal, n = 155; postmenopausal, n = 108) were found to have neither uterine nor ovarian pathological findings. According to parity, premenopausal women were separated into three groups: nullipara, primipara and multipara. Postmenopausal women were separated into two groups according to years since menopause: 5 years since menopause. In the premenopausal group, a parity-related enlargement in uterine size was observed between nulliparous and parous women. After the menopause, a significant reduction in uterine size and in the corpus-cervix ratio was observed. The red…

Psychometrische Güte der Selbst- und Fremdbeurteilungsinstrumente ADHS-SB und Wender-Reimherr-Interview bei Senioren mit Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-/Hype…

2016

Zusammenfassung Ziel der Studie und Methodik Die Anwendbarkeit der etablierten ADHS-Verfahren für Erwachsene, ADHS-SB und Wender-Reimherr-Interview, im Senium wurde an einer Stichprobe von 324 Personen im Alter zwischen 60 und 99 Jahren überprüft. Ergebnisse Die beiden Verfahren weisen für den Einsatz bei SeniorInnen eine geringere psychometrische Güte auf im Vergleich zur Anwendung bei Erwachsenen im jungen und mittleren Lebensalter. Es zeigt sich eine hohe Korrelation beider Verfahren mit der klinischen Beurteilung der Experten bei Personen im Seniorenalter. Schlussfolgerung Als Ergänzung zur ausführlichen klinischen Exploration können die ADHS-SB und das WRI auch im Senium als valide Dia…

Aktive Muskeldehntestung der ischiocruralen Muskulatur: Referenzwerte und Einflussfaktoren

2013

Einleitung: Eine verminderte Dehnfahigkeit der ischiocruralen Muskulatur fuhrt zu einem erhohten Verletzungsrisiko. Ziel ist deshalb die Herstellung einer muskularen Balance. Der Active-Knee-Extension-Test (AKE) uberpruft die Dehnfahigkeit der ischiocruralen Muskulatur. Da die bislang verfugbaren „Referenzwerte“ einem Kollektiv von wenigen mannlichen Probanden entstammen, ist deren Aussagekraft nur eingeschrankt verwertbar. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie ist daher die Erhebung von Referenzwerten an einem grosen gemischtgeschlechtlichen Probandenkollektiv gesunder Fitnesssportler sowie die Ermittlung von Einflussfaktoren auf die aktive Dehnfahigkeit der ischiocruralen Muskulatur. Material und …

Veränderung des Schmeckvermögens bei Patienten mit Vestibularisschwannom

2014

Das Vestiularisschwannom ist ein gutartiger Tumor. Klinisch wird die Erkrankung durch die Kardinalsymptome einseitige Hörminderung, Tinnitus und Gleichgewichtsstörungen auffällig. Auf Grund der anatomischen Enge im Bereich des inneren Gehörganges kann es auch zu Affektionen des N.[for full text, please go to the a.m. URL]
