Assessment of interferon cardiotoxicity with quantitative radionuclide angiocardiography.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Memory and cognitive functions are known to decline with advancing age. Studies have suggested that this may be due to a decrease in cholinergic function in the brains of elderly people. This review aims to assess studies documented in the literature dealing with the 'scopolamine model' of dementia. METHODS...
