Literature Review: Mellow Cognitive Impairment (MCI) has been characterized as a transitional state between ordinary maturing and dementia; patients with MCI have a memory loss more prominent than anticipated for patients with their age and academic level who have a complete day by day living exercises however not dementia. The predominance of MCI in elderly individuals ranges from 3% to 20%.The rates of change in dementia are contingent upon the subsequent period and, applied definition: 12% every year for 4 years, 23% to 47% crosswise over 2.6 years,40% crosswise over 2 years, 53% crosswise over 3 years,34% to 100% crosswise over 4 to 5 years, and 100% crosswise over 9.5 years.7 Currently, there is open discussion on whether MCI is an autonomous …show more content…
A group of 114 patients with amnestic mellow intellectual disability was followed up for a average of 3 years. At gauge, the patients experienced memory tests, the Spanish form of the Mini-Mental State Examination, a verbal familiarity test, the Geriatric Misery Scale, and the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale for arranging purposes. Mental examination for depression depended on organized meeting and Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder, Fourth Version criteria. In addition, the researchers completed either computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging of the mind (Modrego, Ferrández, 2004). In addition there was a follow-up with patients every 6 months for 3 years. I believe that six months is too long for no contact form the researcher. Bi-Monthly may have been a better amount of …show more content…
By using this information, medical researchers can discover new and more responsive treatments for those individuals who do not respond to antidepressants. By doing so, research could contribute to developing better treatment strategies for dementia and depression, in an hopes to better control if not eradicate the brain disorder.
Limitations of the Study:
It is hard to recognize MCI from early Advertisement on clinical grounds alone, based on the fact that a few examinations demonstrate that 100% of patients with MCI cultivated dementia when they are followed up for long periods. The covering of indications makes it hard to recognize major depression from dementia or MCI. Furthermore, the likelihood that a few patients built up a dementia other than AD cannot be ruled out; the NINCDS-ADRDA criteria have a high affectability however a direct specificity (Modrego, Ferrández, 2004). I wished the study talked more about how the findings could be used in the future to help eradicated dementia. In addition, I wish the study talk more about new and improved treatment plans that could be developed using the study as the
