重症肌无力患者认知功能特征

目的探讨重症肌无力(myasthenia gravis,MG)患者的认知功能特征。方法纳入83例MG患者和39例健康对照者,应用简易智能状态检查量表(mini-mental status examination,MMSE)、加利福尼亚语言学习测验(California verbal learning test,CVLT)、简易视觉空间记忆测验(brief visuospatial memory test-revised,BVMT-R)、符号数字模式测验(symbol digit modalities test,SDMT)、Benton线方向判断测验(benton judgment of line orientation test,BJLOT)、定步调听觉连续加法测验(paced auditory serial addition test,PASAT)、言语流畅性测验(verbal fluency test,VFT)进行认知功能评估,应用贝克抑郁测验(Beck depression inventory,BDI)评估抑郁状态,对两组资料进行对比分析,并进一步评估疾病分型、合并症情况、病程、疾病严重程度、药物治疗情况等临床特征对MG组认知损害的影响。结果MG组MMSE[28(26,29)分,29(28,30)分]、CVLT、BVMT-R、SDMT[(37.06±12.18)分,(47.54±14.91)分]、PASAT[(32.86±10.23)分,(37.00±8.82)分]评分低于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05),两组间BJLOT、VFT、BDI评分差异无统计学意义(均P>0.05)。Spearman相关分析显示重症肌无力患者疾病严重程度定量评分(quantitative MG score,QMG)与SDMT得分存在负相关(r=-0.234,P<0.05);MG日常生活质量量表(MG-activities of daily living profile,MG-ADL)评分与BVMT-R 3试总和得分存在负相关(r=-0.283,P<0.05)。结论重症肌无力存在认知功能损害,主要表现在记忆力、注意力、信息处理速度、视觉记忆,提示重症肌无力可能存在中枢神经系统受累。部分认知领域的损害可能与疾病严重程度相关。临床医生在工作中应加强对MG患者认知障碍的认识,早期评估,密切随访,适当干预。     

CML Case Studies: Impact of Comorbidities

Clinicians have the choice of five approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) to select from for chronic phase CML patients. The best frontline drug for each patient and decisions about if and when to change to another TKI or to stop therapy need to be considered in the context of the comorbidities present. These issues are explored in three illustrative cases. The predominant toxicity issue for all of the TKIs except imatinib is vascular occlusive events, so a systematic approach to assessing

Discussion

The excellent long-term outcomes achieved in most CML patients has led to a revision of the goals of therapy.¹³ While preventing progression to blast crisis remains an important goal, avoiding organ toxicity may be equally important, since deaths from causes other than CML are much more common than CML-related deaths. Patients most at risk of organ toxicity are those patients with comorbidities, particularly those patients with comorbidities that increase their risk of vascular events.

Mindfulness and psychoeducation to manage stress in amnestic mild cognitive impairment: A pilot study

Objectives: Amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) often corresponds to the prodromal stage of Alzheimer disease (AD). The aMCI stage represents a crucial time window to apply preventive interventions in an attempt to delay cognitive decline. Stress, one of AD’s modifiable risk factors frequently co-occurring with aMCI, stands out as a key intervention target. The goal of this study was to assess the impacts of two non-pharmacological interventions, mindfulness and psychoeducation, on stress at the psychological and physiological levels among aMCI older adults.

Methods: Forty-eight aMCI participants were randomized between a mindfulness-based intervention (MBI) and a psychoeducation-based intervention (PBI) for eight weekly sessions. Anxiety symptoms, perceived stress levels, cortisol awakening response (CAR), and coping strategies were assessed pre- and post-intervention. Mindfulness attitudes and time dedicated to at-home meditative practices were evaluated in the MBI group.

Results: The main results revealed a slight reduction of the CAR among MBI participants who practiced meditation at home the most and a decrease in perceived stress levels in the PBI group. Both interventions enhanced problem-focused coping strategies.

Conclusion: In sum, this pilot study supports the potential of MBI and PBI to reduce stress at the physiological and psychological level, respectively, and increase coping strategies in older adults at risk for AD.     

Cognitive functions and psychological symptoms in migraine: a study on patients with and without aura

Aim: Migraine is neurological disorder with a complex pathophysiology. We described the neuropsychological profile of 100 migraineurs (50 with visual aura and 50 without aura), in interictal phase, compared to 50 matched healthy controls.

Materials and methods: A battery of standardized neuropsychological tests was used to assess attention, memory and executive functions. Beck Depression Inventory and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety were used to evaluate anxiety and depressive symptoms. Severity of disability during daily activities was assessed by Migraine Disability Assessment.

Results: Migraine without aura showed a significant difference in comparison to healthy controls in semantic verbal fluency (p?=?0.02), delayed memory (p?<?0.001) and set-shifting (p?<?0.001). Migraine with aura showed a significant difference in delayed memory (p?=?0.001) and set-shifting (p?=?0.005) if compared to healthy controls. No significant correlation between cognitive functions and mood was found (HAM-A p?=?0.67) (BDI-II p?=?0.42).

Conclusions: Our data showed isolate and specific cognitive deficit during interictal phase in migraine patients. Future studies are need to identify if specific migraine characteristics may affect cognitive functions.     

Five-year change scores in old age for six neuropsychological tests and normative data for the Useful Field of View (UFOV) test: The influence of physical health

Introduction: Neuropsychological assessment of cognitive change over time is often conducted in clinical settings, but whether neuropsychological change scores are influenced by physical health has, as far as we know, not been examined previously.

Method: In a sample of 153 older Swedish adults (age range, 72–86 years), we evaluated the influence of common age-related diseases, terminal decline pathology, age, education, and gender, to provide (a) preliminary test-specific regression weights and 90% confidence intervals to assess significant change in performance after five years on tests of visual scanning, mental shifting, visual spatial ability, memory, reaction time, and selective attention, and (b) normative data for the Useful Field of View test (UFOV) from a single testing occasion.

Results: Multiple regression analyses showed that test–retest changes were affected by physical health for mental shifting, visual spatial ability, memory, and reaction time, by age for mental shifting and visual reaction time, by education for visual spatial ability, and by Age × Education for auditory reaction time. Gender did not affect any of the change scores. The overall average of variance explained was 2.5%: up to 8.1% for physical health, 4.4% for age, and 3.6% for education. The UFOV scores were mostly influenced by age, but also by physical health and education.

Conclusions: The findings indicate that considering the influence of health on normative change scores in old age in addition to demographic factors leads to more accurate predictions of whether true change has occurred.
