A successful subjective evaluation seems to depend on a minimum level of orientation to place, attention and language skills in the person with dementia.
While this structure is clearly open to the cytoplasm, the orientation of TM1a places charged residues of the SERT N-terminal domain (e.g., K84, K85, and D87) into the presumed hydrophobic core of the membrane.
Cognitive impairment was assessed using the MMSE [ 18], a test covering a range of cognitive abilities including orientation for place and time, memory and spatial ability.
The only significant differences between patients without HE and with overt HE were seen in respect of MMSE score (p<0.02), orientation to place (p<0.003), repetition (p<0.01) and complex commands-understanding (p<0.02).
"Orientation to place" evaluates the patient's sense of location, to yield a maximum score of five points.
These included orientation to place, attention and calculation and complex command - writing a sentence of own choice.
Test orientation to place (5 points).
The MMSE includes questions on orientation of time and place, registration, attention and calculation, recall, language and visual construction.
In addition, it has been reported that FRET efficiency is affected by the orientation of the fluorophore placed in double helical nucleic acids, and a cylindrical model that accounts for the orientation factor and the helical structure has been used.
To avoid any site preferences of butterflyfishes from the previous experiment, the axis of orientation of test corals (placed in line with and equidistant from the central shelter coral) was changed by 90° between the two tanks, with the experimentalists' viewport orientated at right angles to the respective axis.
