ABSTRACT Dementia prevalence is increasing in developing countries due to population aging. Brief tests for assessing cognition and activities of daily living are very useful for the diagnosis of dementia by the clinician. Low education, particularly illiteracy, is a hindrance to the diagnosis of dementia in several regions of the world. Objectives: To compare the Brazilian version of the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument-Short Form (CASI-S) with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Pfeffer Functional Activities Questionnaire (PFAQ) for the diagnosis of dementia in illiterate elderly. Methods: A cross-sectional study with illiterate elderly of both genders seen at the outpatient clinics of the Institute of Gerontology and Geriatrics Jundiaí, São Paulo state was performed. Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to correlate CASI-S, MMSE and PFAQ scores. Results: The sample comprised 29 elderly over 57 years old whose mean scores on the CASI-S (scores ranging from 3 to 23) and the MMSE (scores ranging from 2 to 23) were 11.69 and 12.83, respectively. There was a strong significant correlation between the CASI-S and MMSE (r=0.75, p<0.001) and a moderate correlation coefficient that was significant and negative between the PFAQ and CASI-S (r= -0.53 p=0.003),similar to that between the MMSE and PFAQ (r= -0.41 p=0.025). Conclusion: The Brazilian version of the CASI-S demonstrates ease of application and correction in the illiterate elderly, and warrants further studies regarding its applicability for the diagnosis of dementia in populations with a heterogeneous educational background.

SynopsisIn a community-based study of patients with a first-ever stroke, intellectual impairment (as denned by scores on a common screening test for dementia, the Mini-Mental State Examination) was found in 26% at 1 month post-stroke, and in 21% at 6 and 12 month follow-up. Low scores on the screening test were associated with greater age, physical disability before the stroke, larger stroke lesion volumes as measured on CT scan, and non-stroke changes such as atrophy and white matter low attenuation on the CT scan. There was a negative correlation between scores on the Mini-Mental State Examination and symptom levels on two measures of mood disorder. However, there was no evidence of a specific relationship between major depression and low scores on the Mini-Mental State. We examined various aspects of the relationship between mood symptoms and low scores on the Mini-Mental State, but found no evidence to support the suggestion that this relationship represented an example of depressive pseudodementia. We discuss the significance of our findings for clinical psychiatry and neuropsychology.

The purpose of present research is to estimate the correlation between vegetative dysfunction and cognitive impairment in patients with chronic ischemia of the brain. We supervised 112 patients with chronic ischemia of the brain. To determine cognitive impairment we used Mini Mental State Examination scale. To determine vegetative dysfunction we used A.M.Vayne's questionnaire. Also heart rate variability (HRV) examination was carried out. All the patients were divided into 2 groups depending on expressiveness of cognitive impairment: light and moderate cognitive impairment. The expressed vegetative dysfunction was revealed according to A.M.Vejna's questionnaire and according to HRV in patients with moderate cognitive impairment. In patients with chronic ischemia of the brain with moderate cognitive impairment revealed shift of vegetative balance aside prevalence of hyperactivity of sympathetic adrenal system that is adverse the factor in progressing a chronic ischemia of a brain.

Dementia is a disorder of cognitive function in eldery. It is as one sign of an aging process, where there is a metabolic decline in the brain. Non-pharmacalogical theraphy with art theraphy, Mandala Therapy, believed to improved the cognitive function of older adult with dementia.This study aims to determain the effect of Mandala Therapy to improving cogntive function in elderly. Mandala Colouring Theraphy,which is expected to be able to help  elderly  to increase focus, concentration, reduce anxiety and can be an inherent process of meditation. The research design in this study used quasy experimental with the sample as 37 elderly. The measurement of cognitive function was carried out using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) instrument which was carried out before and after the Mandala color therapy. The results found not significant difference between before and after Mandala colouring therapy (p = 0.324) with a mean decline of 0.69 points, but there were significant differences based on the severity of cognitive function disorders. Coloring therapy needs to be done routinely and continuously in order to provide meaningful results.
