American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease &Other Dementiasr, Volume 35, Issue , January-December 2020. Background:The mobile screening test system for mild cognitive impairment (mSTS-MCI) was developed and validated to address the low sensitivity and specificity of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) widely used clinically.Objective:This study was to evaluate the efficacy machine learning algorithms based on the mSTS-MCI and Korean version of MoCA.Method:In total, 103 healthy individuals...

American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease &Other Dementiasr, Volume 35, Issue , January-December 2020. Understanding Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dynamics is essential in diagnosis and measuring progression for clinical decision-making; however, clinical instruments are imperfect at classifying true disease stages. This research evaluates sensitivity and determinants of AD stage changes longitudinally using current classifications of “mild,” “moderate,” and “severe” AD, using Mini-Mental State Ex...

American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease &Other Dementiasr, Volume 35, Issue , January-December 2020. Objective:To evaluate the risk factors for progress of mild cognitive impairment to dementia.Methods:This study was based on the epidemiological survey in 2011 (No. PKJ2010-Y26) and contained 441 MCI individuals. Cognitive function was measured by the Mini-Mental Status Examination, clinical dementia rating, and montreal cognitive assessment. The association between demographic characteristi...

American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease &Other Dementiasr, Volume 35, Issue , January-December 2020. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, which is characterized by a progressive cognitive decline and senile plaques formed by amyloid β (Aβ). Microglia are the immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). Studies have proposed 2 types of microglia, namely, the resident microglia and bone marrow–derived microglia (BMDM). Recent studies suggested that BMDM, not the ...
