Clinical Epidemiology is a book dedicated to H.L. Mencken, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Douglas Adams, and the Emperor's New Clothes and Physicians and others who wish to recognize key clinical epidemiologic features of the diagnosis and management of patients will benefit from reading.

3,178 Citations1975Vladimir Hachinski, L. D. Iliff +6 more
Cerebral blood flow per 100 gm brain per minute was normal in the primary degenerative group but low in the multi-infarct group, suggesting the blood flow is adequate for metabolic needs of the brain in patients withPrimary degenerative dementia but inadequate for those with multi- infarct dementia.

Frontal-subcortical circuits mediate many aspects of human behavior, including executive function deficits occur with lesions of the dorsolateral prefrontal circuit, disinhibition with injuries of the orbitofrontal circuit, and apathy with injury to the anterior cingulate circuit.

Cerebrospinal fluid assays showing low levels of Aβ 42 and high levels of tau come closest to fulfilling criteria for a useful biomarker, and apolipoprotein E e4 allele can add confidence to the clinical diagnosis.

This pattern of Alzheimer-related alterations would disrupt projections among the entorhinal cortex, hippocampal formation, and amygdala at multiple sites, and also disrupt projections between these structures and cortical and subcortical targets, and thus contribute substantially to the memory disorder seen in this condition.

Clinical criteria forVaD are not interchangeable and the traditional HIS has higher interrater reliability than the newer criteria for VaD, which were developed for Alzheimer disease and dementia.

Although imperfect, the Practice Parameters represent a first step toward improving the cost effectiveness of the dementia work-up, although at a significant difference in cost.
Journal of NeuropsychiatryAssessment of frontal lobe functions
128 Citations1994Paul Malloy, E D Richardson
It is argued that the skilled clinician must be guided by a knowledge of frontal lobe subsystems and their roles in determining specific types of abnormal behavior, and bedside maneuvers can be designed to discriminate dysfunction.

106 Citations1996Frans R.J. Verhey, J. Lodder +2 more
It is concluded that the seven sets of criteria for the diagnosis of vascular dementia cannot be regarded as interchangeable and differences in the criteria for VaD and AD may be an overlooked source of interstudy variance.
