This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The CAMDEX-DS-II is a standardised structured schedule comprising the assessments necessary for facilitating the diagnosis of dementia in people with Down's syndrome (a group known to be at particular risk of dementia), as well as others with intellectual disabilities. In order to differentiate decline due to dementia or other mental disorders from pre-existing impairment, particular emphasis has been placed on establishing change from the individual's best level of functioning. Updated from the original CAMDEX-DS-II, the assessments comprise a structured informant interview to facilitate the systematic collection of information about presenting symptoms and clinical history in order to arrive at a differential diagnosis, and a direct assessment of the patient/participant covering cognitive assessment (CAMCOG-DS-II, providing a reliable way to identify dementia (and to differentiate it from other common disorders). The pack comprises a guidance manual, pictorial booklet, informant interview and CAMCOG-DS neuropsychological test battery. It may be used in community settings by mental health professionals as part of the diagnostic process, or to formalise diagnosis.
Download or read book CAMDEX DS written by Sarah Ball and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-07-06 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CAMDEX-DS is a comprehensive assessment tool for diagnosing dementia in people with Down's syndrome (a group known to be at particular risk of dementia). Based upon CAMDEX-R, CAMDEX-DS has been modified for use with intellectual disability. In order to differentiate decline due to dementia or other mental disorders from pre-existing impairment, particular emphasis has been placed on establishing change from the individual's best level of functioning. The pack is comprised of a structured informant interview, a direct assessment of the patient/participant (CAMCOG), and guidance for diagnosis and post-diagnosis intervention, providing a reliable way to identify dementia (and to differentiate it from other common disorders). It may be used in community settings by mental health professionals as part of the diagnostic process, or to formalize diagnosis in the context of research. Use of the CAMCOG provides the means for ongoing neuropsychological evaluation and informs future support and intervention strategies.

Download or read book Dementias written by S. Govoni and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To a certain extent the dementias have been forgotten diseases until just recen tly when they were brought to the attention of the general public and health authorities as a result of the increasing number of cases in the aging popula tion, especially among famous people, and because of the efforts of private foundations. The goals of the present volume are to present the dementias to health prac titioners, to provide some basic information on their epidemiology and biolo gical basis and to discuss the diagnostic and clinical problems that physicians and institutions face when caring for demented patients. This book explores the various types of dementias and is not limited to Alzheimer's disease although, as expected, more information is available and presented on this pathology. On the other hand, a few fundamental questions on dementia can only be answe red through a comparison of the various forms. Examples of such questions are the following: Is the loss of cerebral tissue sufficient to cause dementia? Are there thresholds or is there a continuous progression toward the irreversible development of dementia? Are there common pathways in the dementing pro cess? Are there common risk factors? Comparative analysis allows the common and distinctive patterns of the various dementias to be defined, ultimately lea ding to more focused therapeutic interventions.
Download or read book PAS ADD Clinical Interview written by Steve Moss and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The PAS-ADD clinical interview has been designed to meet the particular problems of assessment in people with intellectual disability (mental retardation), but is equally valid for use with the general population. It provides full diagnoses under both ICD 10 and DSM IV(TR), and also provides a framework for producing a wider case formulation using other assessment frameworks, behavioural, ecological, psychodynamic etc. The interview is designed to maximise the possibility of conducting a clinical interview, even if the client's level of language is poor. Questions are also provided for informants, so that the interviews can be conducted with a client and informant, or just with an informant if the client is non-verbal . Information can be collected, not just on current mental state, but also on a second representative episode.The interview provides full diagnoses under both ICD 10 and DSM IV(TR), including: ICD 10 Agoraphobia Social phobia Specific phobia Panic disorder Generalized anxiety disorder Obsessive compulsive disorder Depressive episode Depressive episode with psychotic features Manic episode Manic episode with psychotic features Schizophrenia Other non-organic psychosis Other persistent delusional disorder Delusional disorder Psychosis unspecified Autistic Spectrum Disorder* *Screening only DSM IV (TR) Agoraphobia Social phobia Specific phobia Panic disorder Generalized anxiety disorder Obsessive compulsive disorder Depressive episode Depressive episode with psychotic features Manic episode Manic episode with psychotic features Schizophrenia Schizophreniform disorder Delusional disorder Psychotic disorder NOS Brief psychotic disorder ADHD Autistic Spectrum Disorder* The PAS-ADD clinical interview uses a scoring system that is transparent to the user, making it very clear to see not just the criteria that have been fulfilled but also those that are close to fulfilment.

Download or read book Human and Animal Models for Translational Research on Neurodegeneration Challenges and Opportunities From South America written by Agustín Ibáñez and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-06-21 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neurodegenerative diseases are the most frequent cause of dementia, representing a burden for public health systems (especially in middle and middle-high income countries). Although most research on this issue is concentrated in first-world centers, growing efforts in South America are affording important breakthroughs. This emerging agenda poses new challenges for the region but also new opportunities for the field. This book aims to integrate the community of experts across the globe and the region, and to establish new challenges and developments for future investigation. We present research focused on neurodegenerative research in South America. We introduce studies assessing the interplay among genetic, neural, and behavioral dimensions of these diseases, as well as articles on vulnerability factors, comparisons of findings from various countries, and works promoting multicenter and collaborative networking. More generally, our book covers a broad scope of human-research approaches (behavioral assessment, neuroimaging, electromagnetic techniques, brain connectivity, peripheral measures), animal methodologies (genetics, epigenetics, proteomics, metabolomics, other molecular biology tools), species (all human and non-human animals, sporadic, and genetic versions), and article types (original research, review, and opinion papers). Through this wide-ranging proposal, we hope to introduce a fresh approach to the challenges and opportunities of research on neurodegeneration in South America.
