What's the difference between dement and demented?
Dement
Definition:
(v. t.) To deprive of reason; to make mad.
(a.) Demented; dementate.
Example Sentences:
(1) It's the demented flipside of David Guetta bringing Euro house into the mainstream.
(2) The densities of muscarinic receptors, as well as the proportions of M1 and M2 subtypes, in the CA1 sector and dentate gyrus were not significantly different between ATD and old non-demented patients.
(3) Among these associated neurological features, only aphasia and apraxia were present in mildly demented cases with sufficient frequency to suggest utility as diagnostic signs early in the course of the disease.
(4) Furthermore, both the mildly and the more severely demented patients differed from controls in having reduced ratios of parietal association to sensorimotor peak rCMRglc.
(5) Recent work has demonstrated the coexistence of depressive illness in some patients with dementing disorders.
(6) Four occurrences of this injury in three elderly, demented patients were observed in an acute-care Geriatric Evaluation Unit.
(7) Whereas cortical senile plaque count did not distinguish well between demented and nondemented subjects, every subject with numerous cortical neurofibrillary tangles was demented.
(8) To assess the effect, if any, of the therapy, two psychological rating scales devised specially for demented patients, were established by the team of psychologists at the Grenoble Teaching Hospital.
(9) Also, among clinically nondemented individuals periventricular white-matter alterations may be associated with subtle but definable neuropsychological deficits, and these individuals may be at risk for developing a dementing illness.
(10) A potentially treatable cause was found in 10.7% of all demented patients, the most common being metabolic disorders, meningioma, hydrocephalus, subdural haematoma, and depressive pseudodementia.
(11) A retrospective pilot study of 17 incontinent demented patients and 17 continent patients, matched for age, sex, and total score on the Folstein Mini-Mental Status Exam (MMSE), revealed a striking association between an inability to do a copy task and urinary incontinence.
(12) The P3 is no longer thought of as a diagnostic tool in dementia; however, longitudinal changes in the P3 latency can be used to follow the course of a dementing illness or to assess effects of therapy.
(13) We measured cerebral glucose metabolism with positron emission tomography in 20 control subjects and in 14 patients with PD with mental status ranging from normal to severely demented to determine whether changes in cortical glucose metabolism occur in early PD and whether the degree and pattern of metabolic change relate to the severity of dementia.
(14) Since then, researchers have studied the problem of troublesome behavior in demented patients and the burden that this creates for relatives nursing them.
(15) A questionnaire describing hypothetical cases of dehydration in an elderly terminal cancer patient in different clinical situations (conscious, demented, comatose) was sent to 978 physicians.
(16) On verbal recall, both the mildly and moderately demented patients were severely impaired and evidenced a very rapid rate of forgetting between the 15-s and 2-min recall attempts.
(17) Hence the data support the idea that understimulation is present in the demented patient's life but it can hardly be the cause of the behaviour.
(18) This contrasted with the rebound in REM sleep activity seen in control subjects, and the more modest increase in demented patients.
(19) The most common cause of dementing illness is Alzheimer disease (enlarged cerebrospinal fluid spaces, focal medial temporal lobe abnormal signal intensity, cortical iron).
(20) To improve the reliability of rCBF in demented patients, especially in Alzheimer disease, the correction of rCBF data for end-tidal CO2 concentration should be performed.
