NEUROPSYCHOLOGY OF COGNITIVE DYSFUNCTIONS IN SENILE DEMENTIA WITH LOBAR SYMPTOMS PREVALENCE

Abstract

Background: comparative cognitive dysfunctions in lobar and non-lobar senile dementia patients (constitute experiment). Materials & Methods: 48 senile dementia patients, equal 24 in lobar (84±12 mean age) and non-lobar (83±13 mean age) groups, 50% female. Ethic committee granted. MMSE, MoCa, Lobar dysfunction battery (LDB), E. Homskaya probes (praxis, speech, audio- and visual motor gnosis) were used. Mann-Whitney and Fisher criteria for comparison in SPSS v. 20 were used. Results: constitute experiment presents neuropsychological patterns of cognitive dysfunctions in senile dementia patients with lobar symptoms prevalence. Comparative measures of lobar induction on cognitive dysfunctions are discussed. Conclusion: thus, even if a non-statistically meaning year of life is The Factor of senile dementia (and we’ll try to equalize it in process of further investigations), the basis for dynamic research of efficacy of treatment and rehabilitation of this patients is grounded.
