Article Abstract
Background And Purpose: Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is one of the serious complications of stroke, which profoundly influences the quality of life of stroke survivors. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) are the two cognitive screening tools most widely used in stroke settings. Previous studies investigated the diagnostic accuracy of MoCA and MMSE but yielded controversial results. We conducted this study to compare the diagnostic accuracy of MoCA with MMSE for PSCI.
Methods: Embase, PubMed, CINAHL, Web of Science, and The Cochrane Library were searched until August 17, 2024 for diagnostic accuracy studies comparing MoCA and MMSE. Data extraction was performed by two independent researchers. Risk of bias and applicability assessment was evaluated by the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 tool. Coupled forest plots and hierarchical summary receiver operating characteristic (hsROC) curves were created in R statistical software.
Results: 9 studies with 1,135 patients were included in this review. Most studies were at high risk of bias. MoCA displayed a pooled sensitivity of 0.80 (95% CI 0.72 to 0.86) and specificity of 0.79 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.85). MMSE displayed a sensitivity and specificity of 0.76 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.81) and 0.78 (95% CI 0.73 to 0.83), respectively. No difference was shown between these modalities (SEN p = 0.36, SPE p = 0.80).
Conclusion: No difference was observed between MoCA and MMSE in the detection of PSCI. We recommend both screeners be considered for the detection of PSCI based on the purpose of the test and by other metrics, such as acceptability and feasibility. Although it should be noted MoCA and MMSE were cognitive screening tools in stroke settings and not a substitute for detailed clinical assessment.

Objectives: Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI) results from reduced cerebral blood flow, leading to cognitive dysfunction. This multicentre randomized controlled trial evaluated the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in improving cognitive function, daily living abilities, and quality of life in patients with Vascular Cognitive Impairment (VCI). In addition to standardized functional assessments, the authors also measured serum levels of BDNF, IL-6, and TNF-α as exploratory biomarkers of neuroplasticity and inflammation.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) imposes a significant economic and social burden on patients and their families. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) is reported to have protective effects on cognitive function in older adults. This study assesses the effects of HDL-C during the acute period of stroke on PSCI.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) on brain function in patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) using Regional Homogeneity (ReHo) combined with seed-based Functional Connectivity (FC) methods.
Materials And Methods: 46 OSA patients, 38 OSA with T2DM patients, and 34 healthy controls (HC) were prospectively recruited. Clinical data were collected from all participants, and neuropsychological testing was performed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS).

Background And Purpose: Cognitive assessment tools for ICU survivors often lack sensitivity to detect subtle impairments. This study examines whether combining standard screening instruments with computerized inhibitory control measures enhances post-ICU cognitive evaluation.
Methods: In this prospective cohort study conducted at a university-affiliated hospital, participants included ICU survivors aged ≥ 40 years, functionally independent prior to admission, and alert upon ICU discharge.
