Verbal versus non-verbal performances in mild Alzheimer's disease.
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate the pattern of cognitive impairment in mild Alzheimer's disease (AD). We tested thirty patients (10 men and 20 women) with mini mental state examination (MMSE) scores between 20 and 24. The mental deterioration battery (MDB) was administered to all subjects. For each patient, the mean general score for the 4 verbal and the 4 non-verbal items were calculated, in order to verify the existence of a significant difference between them. In our sample the results showed that the difference between verbal and non-verbal items was not significant, i.e., the disease seems to affect both domains uniformly
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Physiological hypnic myoclonus
No full textPhysiological hypnic myoclonus (PHM) was quantified during wakefulness and sleep in 7 normal subjects. PHM was evident during relaxed wakefulness and increased during stage 1 and especially REM sleep. In some muscles, however, (e.g., soleus) it showed no increase during sleep. PHM resembled simple fasciculation potentials, or, when repeated or in clusters, the fragmentary myoclonus in NREM sleep. Both 'hypnic' and 'myoclonus' are terms inappropriate to the description of this physiological spontaneous motor activity. © 1988
