La batería neuropsicológica UDS (del inglés Uniform Data Set), se usa a nivel mundial para homogeneizar las investigaciones de enfermedad de Alzheimer. Objetivo: Sintetizar cuantitativamente los resultados de las subpruebas de la UDS, para perfil cognitivo de controles, pacientes con deterioro cognitivo leve y demencia de tipo Alzheimer. Método: Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática avanzada y manual en bases de datos (PubMed/ MedLine, Web Of Science, Scopus, Lilacs, Science Direct, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO) para evaluar el rendimiento diagnóstico de la UDS. Resultados: La revisión sistemática, mostró una sintesís narrativa donde se analizaron 8 artículos que incluyeron 9260 sujetos, con un rango de edad entre 60 y 90 años. La síntesis cuantitativa utilizó 13 artículos con una muestra total de 2.884 participantes, con una edad promedio de 74 años y una media de 15 años de educación. Conclusión: Se describió una síntesis de las puntuaciones mediales, que generan puntos de corte para demencia tipo alzheimer (DTA), deterioro cognitivo leve (DCL) y controles cognitivamente normales, evidenciando una adecuada precisión diagnóstica.

Driving and Alzheimer's disease: A neuropsychological screening battery for the elderly
...
Crivelli, Lucía | 2019

As life expectancy increases, there is a marked increase in the elderly population eager to continue driving. A large proportion of these elderly drive safely, however, patients with mild dementia are high-risk drivers. Objective: to identify the cognitive tests that best predict driving ability in subjects with mild dementia. Methods: 28 drivers with mild dementia and 28 healthy elderly subjects underwent an extensive cognitive assessment (NACC Uniform Data Set Neuropsychological Battery), completed an adapted On Road Driving Test (ORDT) and a Driving Simulator assessment. Results: drivers with mild dementia made more mistakes on the ORDT and had slower responses in the simulator tasks. Cognitive tests correlated strongly with on road and simulator driving performance. Age, the Digit Symbol Modalities Test and Boston Naming Test scores were the variables that best predicted performance on the ORDT and were included in a logistic regression model. Conclusion: the strong correlation between driving performance and performance on specific cognitive tests supports the importance of cognitive assessment as a useful tool for deciding whether patients with mild dementia can drive safely. The algorithm including these three variables could be used as a screening tool for the detection of unsafe driving in elderly subjects with cognitive decline.

The purpose of this work was to describe the changes that occur in the communicational processes in the family environment of people suffering from Alzheimer's disease in the city of Barranquilla, initially exploring how people suffering from the disease communicate with their relatives verbally and nonverbally, and identifying the feedback strategies used by caregivers, members of the family environment, to communicate with the affected relative. Theoretically, this research was based on the contributions of Herbert Blumer (1969) regarding the theory of symbolic interactionism and Paul Watzlawick (1952) with his theory of human communication. Observation units 1 and 2 were 2 persons with Alzheimer's disease living in the city of Barranquilla and 2 family caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease living in the city of Barranquilla, respectively, according to certain characteristics, a descriptive and qualitative research was proposed, focusing on discovering the meaning of communicational changes, through observation of those affected by the disease and in-depth interviews with family members. The results obtained were the detection and description of the changes that occur in the communication process of the family environment that has a relative with this condition, observing that non-verbal communication is the model most used unconsciously by people with the disease, and that their relatives consciously do not use any type of feedback strategy to communicate with them.

Prognostic value of atn alzheimer biomarkers: 60-month follow-up results from the argentine alzheimer's disease neuroimaging initiative

Purpose: To describe results of the Amyloid, Tau, Neurodegeneration (ATN) research framework classification in the Argentine-Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (arg-ADNI) cohort. Methods: Twenty-three patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), 12 dementia of Alzheimer's type (DAT), and 14 normal controls were studied following the ADNI2 protocol. Patients were categorized according to presence or absence of the biomarkers for amyloid beta (Aβ; A: amyloid positron emission tomography [PET] scan or cerebrospinal fluid [CSF] Aβ42), tau (T: CSF phosphorylated-tau), and neurodegeneration (N: CSF total-tau, fluorodeoxyglucose [FDG]-PET scan, or structural magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] scan). Results: A+T+N+ biomarker profile was identified at baseline in 91% of mild dementia patients, 20% of early MCI patients, 46% of late MCI patients, and 14% of control subjects. Suspected non-AD pathophysiology (SNAP, A-T-N+) was found in 8% of mild dementia, 20% of early MCI, 15% of late MCI, and 7% of control subjects. Conversion rates to dementia after 5-year follow-up were 85% in A+T+N+ MCI patients and 50% in A-T-N+ patients. Conclusions: We present initial 5-year follow-up results of a regional ADNI based on AD biomarkers and the ATN classification.
