<p>This pilot study suggests that a practice-based intervention can increase referral to Alzheimer's Association chapters and improve quality of dementia care.</p>

<p>Reviews evidence on psychosocial interventions for non-professional careers of people with Parkinson's disease. Most studies were not designed to assess the clinical- or cost-effectiveness of the intervention for the careers.</p>

<p>Responsiveness of this HRQOL measure can be reported in terms of previously established benchmarks for ESs, which can be predicted from other indices.</p>

<p>In this study, HRQOL improvement occurred primarily among patients who achieved complete seizure freedom.</p>

<p>Use of statin cholesterol-lowering drugs is observationally associated with lower rates of Alzheimer disease (AD). The authors make an even stronger point: data are consistent with and indeed can be taken to support the contrary conclusion--that high cholesterol protects against dementia. Lipid-lowering drugs are used in the context of--and may serve statistically as a marker for--elevated cholesterol.</p>

<p>Epilepsy-targeted health-related quality of life measures may be preferable to generic ones in longitudinal studies.</p>

<p>Describes the development of a 99-item epilepsy HRQOL inventory that includes the SF-36 as its core.</p>

<p>Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of 166 adults who had previously undergone surgical treatment for intractable epilepsy was compared with that of outpatients having hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, and/or depressive symptoms. Eight self-reported HRQOL domains were evaluated and compared using the RAND 36-Item Health Survey 1.</p>

<p>Development of quality of life measures de novo is time-consuming and expensive, and a number of instruments are already available for general use.</p>
