Impairment Test

coefficients for all analyzed genes. 2.9. Statistical analysis The data are presented as mean ± S.E.M. The hematocrit, plasma osmolality and plasma nitrate results were statistically analyzed by two-way ANOVA and a post hoc Student–Newman–Keuls (SNK) test. mRNA relative expression ratios were obtained from a free software called “Relative Expression Software Tool – Multiple Condition Solver (REST-MCS© -version 2)” [29] by using quantification cycle (Cq) values determined at the…

42 young adults and Group 2 - 40 elders. The results showed older adults no differences between the groups regarding the choices in the cards. Both groups showed a preference for decks “B” and “D”. Regarding the learning process acquired during the test, there were also no differences between the two groups. All the subjects gradually developed a predilection for the cards of decks “C” and “D”, preference that culminated in the fourth block, although not sustained up to the last one.…

transversal study had as its objective the evaluation of executive functions of elderly people using five sub tests of WAIS-III identifying associations with age, gender and level of instruction. The communitarian sample consisted of 346 elderly people with average age of 74,14 years (DP = 8,49) and level of instruction of 7,2 years (DP = 4,5). The validity of construct was measured with tests of Verbal Fluency (convergent) and CES-D (divergent). Univariate Analysis have determined…

for specific functions and activate different brain areas, and considering that depression in the elderly is related to cognitive impairments, this dissertation aimed primarily to investigate specifically the impact of depression in each of the components of WM in the elderly. Whereas there is evidence linking a history of maltreatment in childhood and cognitive impairments in adults, the thesis also aims to investigate the relationship between history of maltreatment during childhood…

required. The mortality for infants with PHH is reported to be in the range of 15% to 25%; and in one study, up to 90% of surviving infants with PHH had subsequent neuromotor disability, 76% exhibited pronounced disability, and 56% had multiple impairments [19]. In another study, less than 30% of all infants with PHH and less than 20% of those requiring a VP shunt were normal on follow-up [16]. The main predictors of poor outcome were need for shunt placement, repeated shunt infections…

neurotransmitter dopamine.[6] There are also additional inputs from various association cortices. §Motor Functions[edit] §Spatial Mnemonic Processing[edit] The caudate nucleus integrates spatial information with motor behavior formulation. Selective impairment of spatial working memory in subjects with Parkinson’s disease and the knowledge of the disease’s impact on the amount of dopamine supplied to the striatum have linked the caudate nucleus to spatial and nonspatial mnemonic…

questionnaire The Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index (Womac). Functional capacity was evaluated by four speed tests: usual gait, fast gait, climbing and descending stairs. Both groups presented a moderate impact of obesity on knee osteoarthritis, with no differences between them concerning symptoms. Obese women had better results in the usual gait and climbing stairs tests than morbid obese ones, but not in fast gait and descending stairs, which are more complex and…

on the capacity of using the affected hand as an effective help; therefore, the efficiency in the use of the injured limb is an important focus to measure interventions for these children. The Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA) is a recently developed test, whose purpose is to measure and describe how children with unilateral disability use the auxiliary hand during bimanual tasks, in an effective way. It is a reliable measure, and it is valid to evaluate the function of the hand in…
