Mr. Muhammad kept his cross-examination brief.
Mental status was assessed with the mini-mental status examination-brief version.
After surgery, the recall test and mini-mental status examination-brief version were readministered at 5 additional time points: hospital discharge, 6 to 8 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively.
Following informed consent, a standardised history, clinical examination and brief questionnaire were conducted.
Besides allowing for intermittent monitoring of the procedure after all steps, visual examination ensures brief UV and visible light exposition times, thus reducing bleaching and unspecific chromogen deposition.
At each visit, they underwent a standardized neurological and medication history; neurological examination; a brief neuropsychological test battery: venipuncture; lumbar puncture; and assessment of medication adherence.
Before the subjects were invited for the pre-study examination, a brief telephone screen was conducted to determine whether they were within the study age range, ≥1 year postmenopausal, and satisfied other inclusion/exclusion criteria.
In the three Washington State samples (Samples 1, 2 and 4), data were collected in the field and the oral examination was brief (using light and mirror only) according to WHO criteria [ 29].
The modified mini-mental state examination, a brief, general cognitive battery with components for orientation, concentration, language, praxis, and immediate and delayed memory, 27 was administered at baseline and repeated at years 3, 5, 8, 10, and 11.
His case for doing so, though, does not bear even brief examination.
