Mini Mental State Examination

Impaired cognition and pain after surgery contribute to prolonged hospital stays and increased mortality rates. Thus, the development of preemptive algorithms for reducing their impact should be prioritized. The main objectives of the present study were to evaluate the efficiency of using virtual reality (VR) to treat postoperative cognitive decline and pain perception. The study was a prospective, monocentric, clinical study that included 51 patients who have undergone major abdominal surgery. The patients were divided into two groups: Control (n = 25) and VR (n = 26). The VR sessions consist

Dementia is a prevalent and, based on severity, disabling neurocognitive disorder that primarily affects people older than 65 years of age. There is an increasingly emerging need to identify specific markers of dementia for interventions before disease progression. Irisin is a myokine produced during exercise with multiple effects on various organs, including a neuroprotective role on brain. Here, we investigated the involvement of irisin in patients with dementia biologically classified according to the Amyloid-β-Tau-Neurodegeneration classification system.
