Measuring Dementia of the Alzheimer Type More Precisely
Alzheimer?s disease (AD) progressively impairs cognitive and functional abilities. Research on pharmacological treatment of AD is shifting to earlier forms of the disease, including preclinical stages. However, assessment methods traditionally used in clinical research may be inappropriate for …

Subtyping patients with Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer type using cluster analysis
The purpose of this study was to determine if distinct subgroups of patients with Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (SDAT) could be identified using seven scales of the Cognitive Behavior Rating Scale (CBRS). Ward's method of cluster analysis was used to group 104 patients with a probable …

Rate and predictors of decline in dementia of the Alzheimer type as measured by the hierarchic dementia scale (HDS)
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by progressive decline in several domains of cognitive functions, which have variable rates of change in the decline process. The overall objective of the study was to develop a model to predict the rate of decline in individual patients as measured by the …

Predictive utility of neuropsychological measures and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) in the classification of cerebral perfusion deficits in dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT)
The general purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between neuropsychological tests scores and perfusion deficits, based upon measures of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) taken from the single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) scans of patients suffering from …

The nature of semantic memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease : evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures
The nature of semantic memory deficits in Alzheimer's disease: Evidence from event-related brain potentials and reaction time measures Semantic memory impairment is commonly observed in patients with dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT); however the nature of the impairment is unclear. Some …

Dihydropteridine Reductase from Man and the Rat
… using sodium 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate as the ligand. The rat liver dihydropteridine reductase was purified over 960 fold over the original supernatant and Km's for the two substrates NADH and quinonoid dimethyldihydropterin (qDMPH2) were 1.7 x 10¯5M and 2.1 x 10¯5 respectively. Human brain …
