An Impairment cost must be included under expenses when the carrying value of a non current asset exceeds the recoverable amount. The Impairment cost is calculated as Carrying value Recoverable amount The carrying amount is defined as the value of the asset as displayed on the balance sheet . The recoverable amount is the higher of either the asset s future value for the company or the amount it can be sold for, minus any transaction costs . ref http www.iasplus.com standard ias36.htm ref Example For example, a store that is recorded on the balance sheet as a non current asset worth 20,000 will have a carrying amount of 20,000. However, the store owner finds that the market value of the shop falls to 12,000. Therefore an Impairment cost is calculated 20,000 12,000 8,000 This is recorded as an expense of 8,000 in the profit and loss statement . ref http www.qfinance.com accountancy checklists understanding impairment accounting what it is and when it is used ref References reflist Category Accounting terminology Accounting stub ... more details

Vascular cognitive impairment VCI is a term used to describe a spectrum of cognitive impairments caused by various types of cerebrovascular disease that occurs as a result of interaction between a variety of vascular risk factors such as hypertension , obesity , dyslipidemia , diabetes mellitus , stroke and silent stroke .

PMID 19064766 ref VCI may result from clinical stroke of the large vessels or from microangiopathic changes in the small cerebral vessels. Radiological findings might include abnormally bright spots on a T2 weighted MRI scan in periventricular regions or in the deep white matter. This so called white matter disease is commonly associated with vascular risk factors such as smoking and hypertension, and with subtle decline in cognitive performance with aging. Brain MRI might also show lacunar infarcts spots which are hypointense on a T1 MRI scan which are indicative of small silent strokes , or hemorrhagic findings small hemorrhagic findings are often referred to as microbleeds . The relative importance and precise aetiology of these findings remains a subject of debate. Cognitive domains commonly affected by VCI include psychomotor processing speed, executive function and verbal memory.

History In 1983, Rapin and Allen suggested the term semantic pragmatic disorder to describe the communicative behavior of children who presented traits such as pathological talkativeness, deficient access to vocabulary and discourse comprehension, atypical choice of terms and inappropriate conversational skills. ref name Rapin Rapin I, Allen D 1983 .

Merge to Cortical blindness date April 2010 Cortical visual impairment CVI is a form of visual impairment that is caused by a brain problem rather than an eye problem. The latter is sometimes termed ocular visual impairment when discussed in contrast to cortical visual impairment. Some people have both CVI and a form of ocular visual impairment. CVI is also sometimes known as cortical blindness, although most people with CVI are not totally blind. The term neurological visual impairment NVI covers both CVI and total cortical blindness. Delayed visual maturation, another form of NVI, is similar to CVI, except the child s visual difficulties resolve in a few months. Though the vision of a person with CVI may change, it rarely if ever becomes totally normal. The major causes of CVI are as follows asphyxia, hypoxia a lack of sufficient oxygen in the body s blood cells , or ischemia not enough blood supply to the brain , all of which may occur during the birth process developmental brain defects head injury hydrocephalus when the cerebrospinal fluid does not circulate properly around the brain, and collects in the head, putting pressure on the brain a stroke involving the occipital lobe ... also has a common ocular visual impairment such as pathologic nystagmus nystagmus then this can ... visual pathway.
