consequences for patients´ treatment and rehabilitation. The aim of the study was to compare Wisconsin Card Sorting Test profiles
of Czech subjects dependent on methamphetamine with healthy individuals.
Subjects and methods: Forty-three hospitalized Czech Caucasian patients including twenty-seven men at the average age of

Degeneration of cholinergic receptors causes memory disorders and irreversible impairment in cognitive functions, whose advancement can lead to clinically recognizable Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Very often, the first symptoms of AD are mood swings and hence depression should be excluded by differential diagnosis since it can also cause memory disorders and cognitive deficits. Due to the characteristic clinical picture of AD, its diagnosis should not be a problem, except at the very beginning of the disease. Many AD patients are never diagnosed a...

Background: Cerebrospinal levels of isoprostanes (IsoPs) have been established as biomarkers of oxidative stress in
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD). The value of peripheral levels in the diagnostics of these diseases is less conclusive. The aim of this study was to determine serum 8-iso-prostaglandin-F2alpha (8-iso-PGF2α) levels in Bosnian AD and VD patients and to establish whether there is an association between 8-iso-PGF2α serum concentration and cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with dementia.

With an increased general practitioner and public awareness, patients are being referred on to Memory Clinics earlier and Mild
Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is often a conclusion of the assessment. The function of memory clinics is to facilitate early and
accurate diagnosis of dementia and its management. Mild Cognitive Impairment is an organic condition which in significant
proportion of cases, progresses to Dementia. In Bedfordshire and Luton, patients with MCI are followed up at nine months to yearly
intervals and detailed neuropsychologica...

INTRODUCTION The blood supply of the brain gradually reduces with ongoing age, the cerebral cortex undergoes atrophy, causes cognitive inhibition converting to vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s
in later stages. The relation between cognitive impairment (CI) and high blood pressure has been long studied in elderly patients, necessitating for further research and evidence on this topic. AIM To study the parameters of arterial stiffness (AS): central blood pressure (CBP), pulse wave velocity (PWV) in patients with hypertension and determine it’s...

Background: Frontal/executive dysfunction commonly occurs in Parkinson's disease - Mild Cognitive Impairment (PD-MCI patients). However, to date, the number of studies comparing PD-MCI and MCI patients of other etiologies are too small. The present study aims at clarifying the attention/working memory and executive dysfunction of PD-MCI patients in comparison to amnestic MCI multiple domain patients with first extended then abbreviated structural brain changes suggesting preclinical Alzheimer’s Disease.
Subjects and methods: 40 PD-MCI patients...

Vol. 23., No. 3., 2011
Background: Schizophrenia (SCH) is primarily a cognitive dysfunction. Its specific cognitive impairment profile was identified
and suggestions have been made to include it in present diagnostic instruments as a special differential diagnostic criterion.
However, studies indicate a substantial overlap of cognitive deficits between SCH patients and those with depression (DEP). In
order to elucidate the structure of cognitive functioning in both entities, principal cognitive domains of SCH and DEP patients were
assessed in the acute phase of d...

Cognitive impairment is one of the most frequently reported symptoms in persons
with multiple sclerosis (MS). The Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS)
has been recommended as a standardized international screening and monitoring tool for brief
cognitive assessment. The aim of our study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Serbian version of
the BICAMS. A total of 500 relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients and 69 age-, gender- and education-
matched healthy control (HC) subjects were examined...

Toxoplasma gondii je intracelularni parazit svih stanica s jezgrom, ali poseban afinitet ima prema endotelu i
živčanom tkivu. U posljednje vrijeme infekcija parazitom Toxoplasma gondii povezuje se s razvojem pojedinih
psihijatrijskih poremećaja. Jedan od najčešće proučavanih psihijatrijskih poremećaja na ovom polju jest
shizofrenija. Međutim, postoje podatci i o povezanosti toksoplazme s drugim psihijatrijskim poremećajima
kao što su opsesivno-kompulzivni poremećaj, te poremećaji raspoloženja, bipolarni poremećaj i depresivni
poremećaj. Do...

Vol. 3, No. 3, 2015
With the increased morbidity and unclear etiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), there is an urgent need to put more effort to investigate the causes of the disease and develop novel drug to stop or reverse the disease progression. Transgenic rodent models mimicking different types of AD-like pathologies are essential resources to discover potential drug targets and study the mechanisms of drug actions. The common symptom of AD is the cognitive deficits. The ultimate readout for any interventions should be evaluated by the test of learning and me...
