Effects of Boswellia serrata on Improvement of Memory Impairment in Patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of dementia. In the present study, the effect of Boswellia serrata (BS) on improvement of memory impairment in patients with MCI was investigated. Methods: In this single-center randomized double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial study, 118 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were included and randomly divided into two groups (case and control). Control group (n=59) received BS 300 mg/kg body weight twice a day and control group (n=59) received placebo for a period of three and six months. Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test for detecting cognitive impairment was done at baseline, three and six months after the intervention. Results: A significant difference was reported in the MoCA mean score between the groups after three months (24.64 vs. 22.83) and six months of the intervention (25.22 vs. 22.7). Memory item had the greatest impact on the average final score (P�0.0001). Conclusion: BS has a significant effect on the improvement of memory impairment in patients with MCI. Further studies are required with higher doses of BS and longer duration of treatment to assess the effects of BS on memory of patients with MCI. © 2020, Kerman University of Medical Sciences.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
