Is this the pattern we see in Alzheimer's?

Is it a pattern we see in other neurological conditions?

And then we have to look at our neurological exams, see if there are signs of Parkinson's or signs of normal pressure hydrocephalus.

These are different neurological conditions that can affect memory, but they are often accompanied by other neurological signs on neurological exams.

We can have also strokes that can affect cognition.

So we sometimes look at the neurological exam to see if there are any signs of stroke with an arm that is weaker on one side or a group

a smile on one side more than the other.

We also look if the patient has vascular factors that could increase their risk of having a vessel disease in their brain.

If they have high blood pressure, diabetes, for example, cholesterol, obesity, or smoking, it can increase their risk of having a vascular cognitive impairment.

Sometimes we can have other conditions like heart and lung disease or renal failure that could affect cognition, thyroid problems, B12 deficiencies, increased calcium levels and low hemoglobin levels like anemia can sometimes affect cognition.

Rarely we can have brain tumors that can also be coming in the presentation, but usually they don't have only memory issues.

Medication is also a big issue, often sedatives that we take for sleeping or for anxiety or narcotics that we can take for pain can also affect our cognition.

Some medication will have anticholinergic effects, meaning that they affect the acetylcholine, which is one of the neurotransmitters involved in attention and memory.

Some medications can affect the anticholinergic system, so we have to review those medications.

We can also think of other causes of cognitive impairment.

It could be stress-related, depression, burnout, or anxiety.

Since then, it became the number one recommended test for detection of early cognitive impairment.

We call this MCI.

which is mild cognitive impairment and became not only useful for detecting Alzheimer's, early stages of Alzheimer's, but also other neurological conditions such as Parkinson's that could have cognition affected in Parkinson's.

Stroke patients also have cognitive impairment.
