AB  - Uvod: Kontrolno merenje je uobičajeno u eksperimentalnim situacijama, dok se
u praksi često ne realizuje ili se obavi razgovor sa pacijentom. Očigledno je da
moramo da postavimo pitanja poput: da li je uopšte potrebno vršiti kontrolno
merenje, kada se ono vrši, kojim instrumentima i koliko kontrolnih merenja je
potrebno izvršiti? Ova pitanja duboko zadiru u doktrinu bilo koje nauke i prakse.
Cilj: U ovom radu razmatra se eventualna neophodnost primene kontrolnih
merenja sa teorijskog i praktičnog aspekta.
Metode: U radu smo se bavili terapijom kognitivnih i motoričkih funkcija kod
osoba sa povredom mozga, odnosno fenomenima pamćenja, pažnje, orijentacije

AB  - Introduction: Control measurement is common in experimental situations, while in
practice, it is often overlooked or just reduced to a conversation with the patient. It is obvious
that we have to ask questions such as: is it necessary to perform a control measurement at all,
when is it performed, with which instruments and how many control measurements should be
performed? These questions go deep into the doctrine of any science and practice.
Aim: In this paper, the eventual necessity of performing control measurements is 
considered from the theoretical and practical aspects. Methods: In this work, we dealt with the therapy of cognitive and motor functions,
that is, the phenomena of memory, attention, orientation, and practical functions. The
sample consisted of 15 male and female respondents aged 15 to 20 years. We examined their
cognitive and practical functioning using subtests from The Mental Status in Neurology (Stub,
Block, 1983) and Cognitive Assessment Ability (Adamovich, Henderson, Auerbach, 1985). The
choice of subtests was oriented towards acquired knowledge, experiences, semi-abstract
and abstract thinking from the patient’s immediate environment. Upon application of the
experimental model, which lasted four weeks, we performed a control measurement.
Results: The obtained results show the justification of the application of the control
measurement in the tested subjects. The results indicate the importance of control
measurement, which is reflected in the possibility of recording the progress of treated patients
in the examined domains. By control measurement, therefore, we can determine progress or
stagnation in the recovery of certain parts of the tested and treated functions. The research
results unequivocally indicate a statistically significant difference (p<0.5 to p<0.1) between
the first and second measurements in the examined functions.
Conclusion: Based on the obtained results, we can conclude that control measurement
is a necessary approach in confirming the correctness of using current therapeutic procedures,
their modification, and dosage.

AB  - Patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) may have significant cognitive deficit and rehabilitation is based on the improvement of remaining abilities aiming to bring the person closer to premorbid profile. The aim of this study was to compare attention, memory and constructive-praxis state between healthy individuals and TBI patients before and after 4-weeks of special neurorehabilitation therapy. The experimental group
(E) consisted of 15 patients with brain injury, while the control group (C) consisted of 15 healthy subjects. The assessment instruments were the subtests of "Attention" and "Memory" tests, and performed before and after the 4-weeks-therapy (focus, attention transfer, memory, and constructive practice therapy). Descriptive statistical methods and two-factor-analysis of variance was used as analytical statistical methods, where one factor represented group affiliation and the other was measurement (before and after therapy). The difference significance was determined at the level of error probability of type Ia = 0.05 (statistically significant difference p < 0.05, highly statistically significant difference p < 0.01). Results showed that all groups had 15 respondent (10 men, 5 women), ages between 15 and 18 years. In all tests high statistically significant difference between E and C group was found on the first measurement. Statistically significant difference between subjects of both groups on the second measurement was also found. High statistically significant difference of the E group on the first and second measurement was found. It can be said that applied therapies were effective. However, patients demonstrated lower score on tests after therapy than their healthy matches, indicating that four-week-therapy is not sufficient and should be continued.

AB  - Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most frequent dementia after Alzheimer's disease, and is diagnosed during lifetime in 20% of demented patients. Five­year survival rate in VaD is 39%, while it is estimated to be 75% in healthy persons of the same age. It is therefore important to make correct diagnosis of VaD early in the course of the disease. Risk factors for VaD are identical to stroke risk factors, and there are significant possibilities for the prevention of vascular cognitive decline. Cognitive decline develops acutely or step­by­step within three months after stroke, but more gradual progression of intellectual decline is also possible. Neurological examination can reveal pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, pseudobulbar palsy, gait disturbance and urinary incontinence. Neuropsychological profile comprises the loss of cognitive set shifting, decline in word fluency, verbal learning difficulties, perseverations, difficulties in complex figure copying, and in patients with cortically located lesions also problems with speech and praxia. The basis of the diagnosis is, besides history, neurological examination and neuropsychological assessment, computed tomography and/ or magnetic resonance brain imaging. Vascular risk factors control is the most important measure in VaD prevention. Modern guidelines for the treatment of cognitive decline in VaD emphasize that donepezil can be useful in the improvement of cognitive status at the level of Class IIa recommendation at the level of evidence A, while memantine may be useful in patients with mixed VaD and Alzheimer's disease dementia.
AB  - Vaskularna demencija (VaD) je posle Alchajmerove bolesti druga po učestalosti demencija, koja se zaživotno dijagnostikuje kod oko 20% svih dementnih bolesnika. Petogodišnje preživljavanje obolelih od VaD je 39%, u odnosu na 75% zdravih osoba istog životnog doba. Zbog toga je veoma važno pravovremeno i tačno postaviti dijagnozu VaD. Faktori rizika za nastanak VaD su istovetni onima za moždani udar, te postoje značajne mogućnosti za prevenciju vaskularnog kognitivnog pada. Kognitivni pad se ispoljava naglo ili postepeno tokom tri meseca od moždanog udara, ali je moguće i tzv. šunjajuće napredovanje intelektualnog propadanja.

abstract = "Vascular dementia (VaD) is the second most frequent dementia after Alzheimer's disease, and is diagnosed during lifetime in 20% of demented patients. Five­year survival rate in VaD is 39%, while it is estimated to be 75% in healthy persons of the same age. It is therefore important to make correct diagnosis of VaD early in the course of the disease. Risk factors for VaD are identical to stroke risk factors, and there are significant possibilities for the prevention of vascular cognitive decline. Cognitive decline develops acutely or step­by­step within three months after stroke, but more gradual progression of intellectual decline is also possible. Neurological examination can reveal pyramidal and extrapyramidal signs, pseudobulbar palsy, gait disturbance and urinary incontinence. Neuropsychological profile comprises the loss of cognitive set shifting, decline in word fluency, verbal learning difficulties, perseverations, difficulties in complex figure copying, and in patients with cortically located lesions also problems with speech and praxia. The basis of the diagnosis is, besides history, neurological examination and neuropsychological assessment, computed tomography and/ or magnetic resonance brain imaging. Vascular risk factors control is the most important measure in VaD prevention. Modern guidelines for the treatment of cognitive decline in VaD emphasize that donepezil can be useful in the improvement of cognitive status at the level of Class IIa recommendation at the level of evidence A, while memantine may be useful in patients with mixed VaD and Alzheimer's disease dementia., Vaskularna demencija (VaD) je posle Alchajmerove bolesti druga po učestalosti demencija, koja se zaživotno dijagnostikuje kod oko 20% svih dementnih bolesnika. Petogodišnje preživljavanje obolelih od VaD je 39%, u odnosu na 75% zdravih osoba istog životnog doba. Zbog toga je veoma važno pravovremeno i tačno postaviti dijagnozu VaD. Faktori rizika za nastanak VaD su istovetni onima za moždani udar, te postoje značajne mogućnosti za prevenciju vaskularnog kognitivnog pada. Kognitivni pad se ispoljava naglo ili postepeno tokom tri meseca od moždanog udara, ali je moguće i tzv. šunjajuće napredovanje intelektualnog propadanja. U neurološkom nalazu se mogu naći piramidalni i ekstrapiramidalni znaci, pseudobulbarna paraliza, poremećaji hodanja i inkontinencija urina. Neuropsihološki profil obuhvata teškoće promene kognitivnog seta, pogoršanje fonemske fluentnosti, oštećenje verbalnog učenja, perseverativnost, teškoće kopiranja složenog crteža, a kod kortikalno lociranih lezija i smetnje govora i praksije.
