Influence of Severity and Stroke Localization on the Development of Vascular Dementia and Impairment of Certain Cognitive Functions
Background: The clinical manifestations of cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) depend on the localization of the damaged region in the brain. Cognitive functions are often impaired following a stroke. Initially, CVD was referred to as atherosclerotic dementia, and was distinguished from senile dementia. Objective: The aim of this study was to examine how stroke severity and localization influence the development of vascular dementia (VD) and to identi…
Frequency of Fals and Degree of Diability in Stroke Patients
Background: Stroke patients have significant disability and an increased risk of falling. Objective: To determine the incidence of falls and the degree of disability in stroke patients and to determine the correlation of falls with the degree of disability. Methods: This is a prospective study of 100 stroke patients confirmed by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain. We used a demographic questionnaire together with the …
The Influence of Gender and Length of Therapy Use on Sleep Quality in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
Background: Normal sleep duration is crucial for maintaining brain homeostasis. Sleep disorders in Parkinson's disease are numerous, multifactorial, and result in significant morbidity. Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the association between gender and the duration of therapy on sleep quality in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods: The study is prospective, and includes 40 consecutively hospitalized patients with verifie…
Sleep Disorders in Acute Stroke
Cognitive Disorders in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
INTRODUCTION: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, (auto) immune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). Cognitive disorders are found in over 50% of patients. AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the distribution of cognitive disorders in people with MS. METHODS: The prospective study included 135 respondents with MS and 50 healthy respondents. The respondents were divided into three groups: the first group consisted of…
Post-Stroke Depression
INTRODUCTION: The depression is a common mental disorder, especially after a stroke, which further aggravates the recovery. AIM: To analyze depression within 48 hours and fifteen days after ischemic stroke in relation to gender and location (brain hemisphere and brain circulation). METHODS: We analyzed 40 patients (65.3±10.3 years), half of them were women. Mean age of women was 66.35±7.31 years and men 64.2±12.68 years (p= 0.5). Ischemic stroke …
Mortality and Functional Disability of Post-stroke Delirium
INTRODUCTION: Small number of studies have evaluated the mortality and the degree of functional disability of post-stroke delirium, and our aim was to determine that. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments were performed within the first week of stroke onset, at hospital discharge, and followed-up for 3, 6 and 12 months after stroke. We used diagnostic tools such as Glasgow Coma Scale, Delirium Rating Scale, National I…
Hyperhomocysteinemia and Its Treatment in Patients with Parkinson's Disease
INTRODUCTION: Homocysteine is process-product of methionine demethylation. It has proatherogenic, prothrombotic, prooxidative, proapoptotic, osteoporotic, neurotoxic, neuroinflamatory, and neurodegenerative effects. Hyperhomocysteinemia correlates with C667T MTHFR mutation, decrease of folic acid and vitamin B, as well as prolonged use of certain medications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We measured levels of homocysteine in thirty patients (15::15) wi…
Predictors for Post- Stroke Delirium Outcome
BACKGROUND: There have been only a small number of studies that have evaluated the outcome of post-stroke delirium. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of gender, age, stroke localization, delirium severity, previous illnesses, associated medical complications on delirium outcome as well as, to determine effects of delirium on cognitive functioning one year after stroke. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments were perf…
