![]() 9,10,13 Therefore, neuropsychological assessment is still the basic tool used in daily practice for the diagnosis and screening of cognitive impairment. 10,11 Biomarkers of AD, such as CSF amyloid beta peptide and total and phosphorylated tau protein levels or presence of amyloid in the brain, detected with positron emission tomography, 9,12 are increasingly useful however, these techniques continue to be costly or invasive. To date, MCI and dementia have been diagnosed clinically, through medical history, neuropsychological assessment, and laboratory analysis to rule out confounding factors. The new diagnostic guidelines published in 2011 refer to aMCI as “MCI due to AD.” 9 6–9 Amnestic MCI (aMCI both single- and multiple-domain subtypes) is the type most frequently associated with progression to Alzheimer disease (AD). The annual conversion rate of MCI to dementia is 10%-30%, compared to a rate of 1%-2% in cognitively normal elderly individuals. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is defined as cognitive decline which is greater than that expected for the patient's age, but which does not meet criteria for dementia. Population ageing in Chile has accelerated in recent decades 1–3 Chile currently has the third-oldest population in Latin America (after Cuba and Uruguay) and one of the highest rates of dementia among individuals older than 60 years (8%) worldwide. ConclusionesĮl MoCA-S1-2 es una prueba breve, de fácil administración y útil para el diagnóstico de DCL-a y demencia leve. El MoCA-S1-2 fue significativamente más discriminativo que el MMSE para diferenciar DCL-a y demencia. La escolaridad mostró una importante influencia en el puntaje, por ello se adicionaron 2 puntos para escolaridad < 8 años y un punto para escolaridad entre 8 y 12 años (MoCA-S1-2). ![]() El punto de corte de mejor rendimiento para DCL-a fue < 21 y para demencia leve < 20 sensibilidad/especificidad de 75/82% y 90/86%, respectivamente. La prueba fue eficaz y válida para la detección del DCL-a (ABC = 0,903) y demencia leve (ABC = 0,957) menos eficaz en DCL no-a (ABC = 0,629). La consistencia interna fue buena (α de Cronbach 0,772), la fiabilidad interevaluador muy buena (coeficiente de correlación de Spearman 0,846 ) y la fiabilidad intraevaluador (test-retest) fue 0,922 bilateral (p < 0,001). Los promedios ± desviación estándar de edad y escolaridad fueron 73 ± 6 y 11 ± 4, respectivamente, sin diferencias significativas entre los grupos. MétodosĬiento setenta y dos individuos agrupados según diagnóstico clínico basado en Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) en: deterioro cognitivo leve tipo amnésico (DCL-a, n = 24), DCL no-amnésico (DCL-na, n = 24), demencia leve (n = 20) y 104 cognitivamente sanos fueron evaluados con el MoCA-S y Mini-Mental test de Folstein (MMSE) como prueba de contraste, para determinar la validez discriminativa del MoCA-S. ObjetivoĮvaluar las propiedades psicométricas y la validez discriminativa del MoCA-S en adultos mayores de Santiago de Chile. The MoCA-S1-2 is a short, easy-to-use, and useful test for diagnosing aMCI and mild dementia.Įxisten pocas validaciones de la versión en español de la prueba Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-S) en Latinoamérica. The MoCA-S1-2 showed significantly greater discriminant validity than the MMSE for differentiating aMCI from dementia. The level of education had a great impact on scores: as a result, 2 points were added for patients with less than 8 years of schooling and one point for patients with 8-12 years of schooling (MoCA-S1-2). The optimal cut-off points for aMCI and mild dementia were < 21 and < 20, respectively, with sensitivity and specificity rates of 75% and 82% for aMCI and 90% and 86% for mild dementia. The MoCA-S was found to be an effective and valid test for detecting aMCI (AUC = 0.903) and mild dementia (AUC = 0.957) its effectiveness for detecting naMCI was lower (AUC = 0.629). 01), and high intra-rater reliability (test-retest reliability coefficient: 0.922 P <. The MoCA-S displayed good internal consistency (Cronbach’s α: 0.772), high inter-rater reliability (Spearman correlation coefficient: 0.846 P <. Mean age and years of schooling were 73 ± 6 and 11 ± 4 years, respectively, with no significant intergroup differences. ![]() Participants were evaluated with both the MoCA-S and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to determine the discriminant validity of the MoCA-S. Methodsġ72 individuals were grouped according to their clinical diagnosis based on the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) scale as follows: amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI n = 24), non-amnestic MCI (naMCI n = 24), mild dementia (n = 20), and cognitively normal (n = 104). To evaluate the psychometric properties and discriminant validity of the MoCA-S in elderly patients in Santiago de Chile. Few studies have validated the Spanish-language version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-S) test in Latin American populations. ![]()

So answering “no” to the question, “may we contact this employer?” isn’t uncommon or unacceptable. Most recruiters and interviewers understand that job searches can be confidential and won’t contact your current employer until they clear it with you first. Current Employers:įor those who simply prefer to keep their job search quiet from their current employer until they’ve secured a position, the answer is much less complex. If you’re worried about a past employer causing problems for your job search, a more preferable option when asked, “may we contact this employer,” would be to provide the basic Human Resources phone number rather than the extension of your specific supervisor. Should they investigate this easily verifiable information and find out you’ve lied, it could cost you more than just the job it can hurt your professional reputation and potentially close future doors. For instance, leaving a large time period blank to avoid mentioning a certain employer, may lead the hiring manager to question what you did during that time period. Whatever you do, however, never include misleading information on your resume. If there isn’t, try to include a short explanation in your cover letter or thank you note to the hiring manager. If there is room on the application for a brief explanation, such as the fact that your manager no longer works at the company, be sure to include it. But what about those unfortunate situations in which past employers may still feel some resentment towards a hard-working employee who left for a new opportunity? Here’s what you shouldn’t do in either case: answering “no” without an explanation or lying on your resume. This response may make them suspicious that you’re wary of a poor reference, that you could be hiding something, or that you never worked at that company in the first place. Former Employers:Īnswering “no” to “may we contact this employer” without some sort of explanation can raise some red flags. In the end, the choice is difficult either way: should you put “no” and look like you have something to hide, or answer “yes” and risk a poor reference or an unpleasant surprise for your current employer? It depends on whether the employer in question is from the past or present. ![]() Read also: 3 Ways To Explain Getting Fired In An Interview Those who have been previously laid off- an already difficult topic to address - or had a bad experience at the company may even prefer to avoid any type of contact with these former employers. There are many difficult questions on job applications, but possibly few are trickier than the inevitable “May we contact this employer?” While there are plenty of reasons why a candidate may not want their supervisor to be contacted, most professionals don’t want their current employer to know that they are interviewing elsewhere. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you are getting repeated dependencies console screen.

![]() ![]() Understanding Saucha Within the Context of the Eight Limbs When we live from our big Self, our true nature, we operate from our heart and are able to feel our connection to everyone and everything.

On Passover, this refers to the Jewish people leaving behind enslavement in Egypt.

This pertains to literal dirt and, more symbolically, to anything we are holding onto.Īs a yogi, this reminded me of the concept of saucha. We eat with our hands during the meal, because it is believed that whatever our hands hold will be absorbed by us.
