Comparative effect of atorvastatin (80 mg) versus simvastatin (20 to 40 mg) in preventing hospitalizations for heart failure in patients with previous myocardial infarction.
The Cognitive Assessment of Minnesota is an objective measure that helps provide an overview of cognitive functioning in adults. The test can be used as a baseline, to help guide further assessment and intervention, and to aid in discharge planning.
Transcranial Doppler Assessment of Cerebral. Flow Velocity During Cognitive Tasks. Roger E. Kelley, MD; Jen Y. Chang, MS; Nancy J. Scheinman, PhD; Bonnie E. Levin, PhD; Robert C. Duncan, PhD; and Shih-Chang Lee, PhD. Background and Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of transcranial. Doppler ultrasonography to detect selective circulatory changes during cognitive activity. Methods: We measured cerebral artery flow velocity in 21 normal volunteers by transcranial Doppler ultrasonography during rest followed by cerebral activation. Mean and peak systolic flow velocities of the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral arteries were measured during the performance of a commercial video game. We also measured flow velocity of the anterior
