Persistent Bilateral [18F]THK5351 and Migrating Unilateral [18F]FDG Uptake in Anti‐LGI1 Encephalitis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anti–leucine‐rich glioma‐inactivated 1 encephalitis (LGI1‐E) can cause persistent cognitive deficits, but the mechanisms remain unclear. A 40‐year‐old woman with LGI1‐E presented with subacute cognitive deficits and showed mild left medial temporal lobe (MTL) swelling and fluid‐attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) hyperintensity on initial ...

Evaluating a Pragmatic Strength Alternative for Frailty Measurement and Assessing Its Predictive Capacity Against Established Frailty Instruments in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Frailty occurs prematurely in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is associated with poor health outcomes. We compared the performance of four frailty instruments, including a pragmatic alternative measure using chair sit‐to‐stand (STS), and evaluated their abilities to predict poor health outcomes.

The 10-word learning task in the differential diagnosis of early Alzheimer's disease and elderly depression: a cross-sectional pilot study [PDF]

, 2010
Objectives: Identification of early Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become very important. Episodic memory tasks appear to have predictive power for indicating early AD. Deficits in encoding and storage processes that are characteristic of AD, however, must

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment

, 2009
Epidemiological studies show us that the aging population, which is well known to clinicians and healthcare planners, will continue to increase in number. With increasing age, the development of cancer becomes more likely, and many older individuals will be diagnosed with a malignancy in later life or may survive from a younger age with such a ...

Developing and Evaluating a Laboratory‐Based Frailty Index for the Prediction of Long‐Term Health Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective We aimed to construct and evaluate the first laboratory‐based frailty index (FI‐Lab) for predicting adverse outcomes in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to compare its predictive ability to that of an existing clinical FI. Methods We used data from a single‐center prospective cohort of adult patients with SLE whose baseline visit ...

'Online' geriatric assessment procedure for older adults referred for geriatric assessment during an acute care episode for consideration of reliability of triage decisions

BMC Geriatrics, 2012
Background Comprehensive geriatric assessment has been shown to improve patient outcomes, but the geriatricians who deliver it are in short-supply. A web-based method of comprehensive geriatric assessment has been developed with the potential to improve ...

Autonomous Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment [PDF]

, 2017
This paper presents the MARIO’s CGA (Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment) module for the Kompai platform that aims at autonomously performing and managing the execution of specific tests required in the CGA process. The application relies on the CGA ontology, which is part of the Mario Ontology Network (MON)4, as a support to the execution of the ...
