Abstract:
Abstract Most impairments are expressed ultimately as a whole person impairment, and the musculoskeletal chapters of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides) include instructions for converting regional impairments to whole person impairments using a percentage relationship. This article presents an extensive table that incorporates the conversion factors for extremity and spinal impairments. Occasionally evaluators need to convert spinal impairments from whole person to impairment of the spine, a process that is explained in the AMA Guides, Section 15.13. The conversion factors differ depending on whether the impairment was obtained using the Diagnosis-related estimate (DRE) method or the range-of-motion (ROM) method. For example, a 5% whole person impairment is an 8% upper extremity impairment, a 9% hand impairment, 23% thumb impairment, 46% index/middle finger impairment, or 93% ring/little finger impairment. The same 5% whole person impairment would convert to a cervical spine impairment of 14% cervical spine if the DRE method were used and 6% if the ROM method were used. For the lumbar spine, this would convert to 7% lumbar spine impairment if the DRE method were used and 6% if the ROM method were used. The table in this article provides values for converting foot to lower extremity impairment and for converting whole person impairment to regional spinal impairment.

Abstract:
Abstract Sensory impairments frequently co-occur among older adults. Characterizing the combined impact of a multisensory phenotype on cognitive impairment could help elucidate a potential mode of pathogenesis. We investigated associations between multisensory impairment (co-occurring, objectively-measured hearing loss [pure-tone average ≥25 dB], vision loss [presenting near or distance acuity >0.3 logMAR], anosmia [Sniffin’ Sticks test score ≤6], and peripheral nerve damage [≥1 insensate site on left or right foot]) and cognitive impairment (mild cognitive impairment [MCI] or dementia). Our study sample consisted of Black and White adults aged 70+ years in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study; a longitudinal, community-based cohort. We estimated prevalence ratios (PRs) of baseline (ARIC visit 6, 2016-2017) expert-adjudicated MCI/dementia and odds ratios (ORs) of progression to MCI/dementia through ARIC visit 7 (2019) by number of impairments (0 [reference], 1, 2, 3 or more) using Poisson and logistic regression models, respectively. Overall, among 814 participants (age range: 71-93 years, 62% female, 41% Black race), an increasing number of impairments was associated with increased prevalence of baseline MCI/dementia (1 impairment, PR=1.14 [95% CI: 0.67-2.01]; 2 impairments, PR=1.53 [95% CI: 0.87-2.79]; ≥3 impairments, PR=2.26 [95% CI: 1.18-4.38]; p-trend: .007) and increased progression to MCI/dementia (1 impairment, OR=1.47 [95% CI: 0.67-3.49]; 2 impairments, OR=1.64 [95% CI: 0.69-4.12]; ≥3 impairments, OR=5.68 [95% CI: 2.18-15.52]; p-trend: .001). These findings suggest multiple concurrent sensory impairments contribute additively to greater MCI/dementia prevalence, signaling the importance of considering multiple impairments together in studies of the contribution of sensory losses to cognitive impairment.

Abstract:
Abstract Evaluating physicians may need to account for the effects of multiple impairments using a summary value. In the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, the Combined Values Chart provides a method to combine two or more impairment percentages based on the formula A + B(1 – A) = the combined value of A and B. Using the Combined Values Chart and this formula, physicians can combine multiple impairments so that the whole person impairment is equal to or less than the sum of all the individual impairment values. The AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, specifies that “impairments are successively combined by first combining the largest number with the next largest remaining number, and then further combining it with the next largest remaining number … until all given impairment numbers are combined.” Impairment values within a region generally are combined and converted to whole person permanent impairment before being combined with values from other regions. The article reviews the AMA Guides, Sixth Edition, approach to combining upper extremity impairments, lower extremity impairments, and combining spinal impairments.

Abstract:
Aiming to compare capability across persons with impairments using and not using assistive products and persons without impairments in Bangladesh for 16 different functionings, we contrast two sets of self-reported cross-sectional data from eight districts of Bangladesh: (i) data from persons with hearing impairment not using hearing aids, persons with hearing impairment using hearing aids and persons without impairments (N = 572); and (ii) data from persons with ambulatory impairment not using manual wheelchairs, persons with ambulatory impairment using manual wheelchairs and persons without impairments (N = 598). Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to compare levels of capability across the three groups in each data set. Results showed that, for all functionings in both data sets, the levels of capability were statistically significantly highest for persons without impairments. Compared to persons with hearing impairment not using hearing aids, persons with hearing impairment using hearing aids scored higher in all functionings, with statistical significance at the .05 level for 12 of them. Persons with ambulatory impairment using manual wheelchairs scored higher than persons with ambulatory impairment not using manual wheelchairs for 11 of the functionings, but none of the comparisons between the two groups were significant at the .05 level. Assistive products—hearing aids more than manual wheelchairs—enhance capabilities but do not fully equalize opportunities between people with and without impairments.

Abstract:
Abstract The approach to assessing impairment for headaches differs among the fourth, fifth, and sixth editions of the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides). In summary, the fourth edition provides only a qualitative, nonnumeric rating. In the fifth edition, an examiner can give up to 3% whole person permanent impairment. Using the sixth edition of the AMA Guides, an examiner may determine up to 5% whole person permanent impairment for migraine headaches for Chapter 13 and up to 3% whole person impairment for other headaches according to Chapter 3. With respect to the AMA Guides, Fourth Edition, unless other objective features can be rated according to specific organ dysfunction, headache impairment is a qualitative, nonnumeric rating, and “The vast majority of patients with headache[s] will not have permanent impairments.” In some defined cases, the fifth edition facilitates calculation of a pain related impairment score (that specifically is not an impairment rating) that is used to describe the severity of the pain, for which up to 3% whole person impairment may be provided. The sixth edition of the AMA Guides provides a quantitative whole person impairment rating up to 5% whole person impairment for migrainous headaches and 3% whole person impairment for nonmigrainous headaches.

Abstract:
Background: Deafness, defined as a hearing impairment so severe that it prevents processing linguistic information through auditory senses, is believed to be linked to delays in motor development, including balance. Objective: To figure out the prevalence of balance impairment in children with hearing impairment. Methods: A cross-sectional study design was employed, involving 377 children aged between 8 and 15 years with hearing impairments, selected through non-probability convenient sampling. Data were collected from special education schools using the Standardized Walking Obstacle Course (SWOC) and Timed Up and Go (TUG) tests. The data were compiled and analyzed using SPSS version 25, with descriptive statistics used to present the findings. Results: The study included 377 children with a mean age of 11.08 years; 21.5% were female, and 78.5% were male. Approximately 77.7% of participants demonstrated poor balance skills in the SWOC test, while 37.1% showed fair or poor performance in the TUG test. Conclusion: The study found a high prevalence of balance impairment in children with hearing impairments. Both male and female participants reported symptoms of balance impairments, with 77.7% demonstrating poor balance skills in the SWOC test and 37.1% showing fair or poor performance in the TUG test. These findings suggest that children with hearing impairments are at significant risk for balance deficits.

Abstract:
Abstract Sensory function has been linked to cognitive impairment and dementia, but the link between multiple sensory impairments and early cognitive impairment (ECI) is unclear. Sensory function (vision, hearing, vestibular, proprioception, and olfaction) was measured in 390 BLSA participants (age=75±8 years; 57% women; 69% white) from 2012 to 2018 over a mean 3.6 years. ECI was defined based on 1 standard deviation below age-and race-specific means in Card Rotations or California Verbal Learning Test immediate recall. Cox proportional hazard models examined the risk of ECI for each sensory impairment and across categories of impairments. Vision impairment (vs. no vision impairment) was associated with a 70% greater risk of ECI (HR=1.70, p=0.05). Participants with 1 or ≥2 sensory impairments had triple the risk of ECI (HR=3.74 and 3.44, p=0.008 and 0.02, respectively) compared to those without impairment. Future studies are needed to examine whether treatment for sensory impairments can modify these risks.

Abstract:
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of visual impairment and correctable visual impairment (i.e., uncorrected refractive errors) on being out of the labor force and on unemployment. The effect of health on labor force status was also investigated. Method: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 1999 to 2008 ( N = 15,650) was used for this study. Participants were classified into three vision status groups: normal, correctable visual impairment, and visual impairment. Statistical analyses utilized were chi-square and logistic regression. Results: Having a visual impairment was significantly associated with being out of the labor force, while having a correctable visual impairment was not. Conversely, having a correctable visual impairment was associated with unemployment, while having a visual impairment was not. Being out of the labor force was not significantly associated with health for those with a visual impairment, although it was for those with correctable visual impairments and normal vision. Discussion: Given previous research, it was surprising to find that health was not associated with being out of the labor force for those with visual impairments. Perhaps other disadvantages for the people with visual impairments identified in this study contributed to their higher out-of-the-labor-force rates regardless of health. Implications for practitioners: Researchers utilizing national data sets that rely on self-reports to identify visual impairments should realize that some of those who self-identify as being visually impaired may actually have correctable visual impairments. Current research is needed to understand why a majority of people with visual impairments are not seeking employment and have removed themselves from the labor force.

Abstract:
Abstract To account for the effects of multiple impairments, evaluating physicians must provide a summary value that combines multiple impairments so the whole person impairment is equal to or less than the sum of all the individual impairment values. A common error is to add values that should be combined and typically results in an inflated rating. The Combined Values Chart in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, Fifth Edition, includes instructions that guide physicians about combining impairment ratings. For example, impairment values within a region generally are combined and converted to a whole person permanent impairment before combination with the results from other regions (exceptions include certain impairments of the spine and extremities). When they combine three or more values, physicians should select and combine the two lowest values; this value is combined with the third value to yield the total value. Upper extremity impairment ratings are combined based on the principle that a second and each succeeding impairment applies not to the whole unit (eg, whole finger) but only to the part that remains (eg, proximal phalanx). Physicians who combine lower extremity impairments usually use only one evaluation method, but, if more than one method is used, the physician should use the Combined Values Chart.

Abstract:
Background: Sensory impairments and cognitive impairment are increasing in scope due to the aging population. Objective: To investigate the association between hearing impairment, vision impairment, and dual sensory impairment with cognitive impairment among older adults. Methods: Secondary analysis of a combination of ten consecutive waves (2008–2017) of the nationally representative American Community Survey. The sample included 5.4 million community-dwelling and institutionalized older adults aged 65 and older. Bivariate and logistic regression models were conducted to examine the association hearing impairment, vision impairment, and dual sensory impairment with cognitive impairment. Results: After controlling for age, race, education, and income, older adults with only hearing impairment had more than double the odds of cognitive impairment (OR = 2.66, 95% CI = 2.64, 2.68), while older adults with only vision impairment had more than triple the odds of cognitive impairment (OR = 3.63; 95% CI = 3.59, 3.67). For older adults with dual sensory impairment, the odds of cognitive impairment were eight-fold (OR = 8.16; 95% CI = 8.07, 8.25). Similar trends were apparent in each sex and age cohort. Conclusion: Hearing and vision impairment are both independently associated with cognitive impairment. However, dual sensory impairment is associated with substantially higher odds of cognitive impairment, even after controlling for sociodemographic characteristics. Practitioners working with older adults may consider treatment for sensory impairments and cognitive impairment concurrently. Future research is needed to determine if the association is causal, and to investigate the effectiveness of common methods of treatment for sensory impairment for reducing the prevalence of cognitive impairment.

Abstract:
In the economy intangible assets have become more and more important. Financial standards have evolved in order to capture this change and to be relevant. IFRS are international financial accounting standards with the goal to provide investors relevant information in their investment decision process.  Since 2005, all listed companies in the European Union have to implement the IFRS 3; Forcing companies to write off their goodwill instead of amortizing it. The goal of this measure was to provide investors more information about management’s investment decisions. Beside, companies proceed to firm acquisitions in order to gain a competitive advantage. Such events are important in companies’ life and are impacting the potential value creation. Out of that reason, investors are reacting to acquisition announcements. Moreover, the market reacts to goodwill impairments.   The purpose of this research was to examine to what extent the market reaction of an acquisition announcement can predict goodwill impairment in the two following years. This study was conducted using a quantitative method; focusing on aspects of the financial statements of 43 companies from the Nordic countries that acquired companies in the G20 countries. A Spearman’s correlation, logistic and linear regressions were pursued in order to observe the correlation and the strength of the relationship between goodwill impairment and the market reaction.   The findings imply that the market reaction can predict goodwill impairment in the first year after an acquisition in case of positive market reaction. Additional to that, it can also predict the amount of impairment in the second year, but not whether the impairment is happening. Also, there is a correlation between the first and second year goodwill impairments. However, the results of this research indicate that neither the industry, financial or non-financial, nor the deal value can predict goodwill impairment after an acquisition.

L’applicazione all’avviamento dell’impairment test costituisce uno dei temi maggiormente dibattuti in ambito internazionale, sia in relazione ai molteplici profili di soggettività insiti nei criteri di valutazione previsti dallo IAS 36 sia in relazione al carattere di novità che investe detta procedura. Attraverso un’indagine empirica sui bilanci 2011 di società quotate italiane, si intende verificare la compliance delle metodologie adottate dalle imprese con le disposizioni dettate dallo IAS 36, nonché la corrispondente disclosure fornita al riguardo. Nella ricerca sono analizzati i vari aspetti dell’Impairment test svolto dalle società sull’avviamento al fine di individuare gli elementi maggiormente osservati e gli eventuali fattori determinanti della non-compliance e della incompleta disclosure. Attraverso la costruzione di un indice di disclosure, infine, si verifica il livello di attendibilità con cui si sono applicate le disposizioni dello IAS 36, presupponendo che la mancata effettuazione di svalutazioni conduca le aziende a fornire una disclosure sull’Impairment test non completa né soddisfacente.

Abstract:
Disability is a contested concept. There is a little agreement within the social sciences on who disabled people are, what causes disability or on the impact of disability on identity and identity formation. On the one hand, there are those within medical sociology who see disability arising as the outcome of impairment and focus their research and theorising on the trouble that an impairment causes for disabled people. This understanding is based on a normative definition. On the other hand, there are those within disability studies who argue that disablement arises as a consequence of a society that is organised in a way that excludes people with impairments; they focus their research on societal and environmental barriers. In the latter paradigm, any focus on impairment itself is seen as a diversion from the 'real' problem: the discrimination and oppression of disabled people. The impact of impairment, the personal experience of disablement and issues of identity are ignored in favour of radical rhetoric. There is a theoretical deficit at the heart of this approach. In order to address this lacunae the experiences and views of disabled people themselves must inform theoretical developments. This study involved in-depth analysis of data generated by semi-structured interviews with 28 men and women with a physical impairment. The analysis shows how, for many of the participants in this study, having an impairment did not constitute trouble; impairment has become part of their embodied being. It also shows how disabled people are not an homogenous group, but are individuals. Their understandings, identity and experiences are fluid, contextualised and situated. There is no such thing as 'the disabled' and many reject an identity posited on such criteria. Their main commonality is a common experience of discrimination and oppression. How this discrimination is interpreted is individual; further, impairment and disablement are linked and should not be seen as separate entities.

Abstract:
Goodwill has been in the focus of interest of academics and practitioners for many years now. Research interest has been fuelled by its discretionary nature, the large amounts of its write- downs combined with adverse impact potential on financial statements and loopholes in accounting regulations. This thesis includes three empirical essays on the causes and impact of goodwill impairment write-downs. Its overall objective is to provide a more insightful and comprehensive understanding of the goodwill impairment process. The first empirical essay explores the role of goodwill write-downs in .the rating assessment process. It aims to uncover rating agencies' perception of goodwill using an accounting predictive model on ex post basis and comparing accounting treatments of goodwill as currently or recently applicable under UK GAAP. Results suggest that raters ignore goodwill and its write-downs in their annual rating analyses. While this evidence is consistent with pre- FRS 10 business reality in the UK, it raises questions about the efficiency of impairment regulations on national and international level. The second empirical essay investigates managerial choices related to goodwill impairment in the UK. Findings suggest that while managers are likely to base the decision whether to impair goodwill on financial performance indicators, they might adjust the amount of the impairment charge at their discretion for reporting purposes. The third empirical essay investigates two of the drivers of financial performance (industrial regulation and competition) and their relation to goodwill using a case study approach. The evidence suggests that these two phenomena could provide an early warning indicator to regulators, auditors and financial statement users about goodwill impairment potential of the individual firm or an industry sector. Furthermore, the room for managerial discretion provided by the discount rates in the impairment calculation is explored. Results show that discount rates can be adjusted using commonly accepted parameters in practice to justify a wide range of discount rates and, consequently, a variety of impairment opportunities at the discretion of management.

Abstract:
Background In our aging population the burden of dementia is increasing, necessitating the urgent identification of treatable risk factors. Small cross-sectional studies demonstrate associations between nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), silent cerebral infarction and decreased cognitive function, but there are few longitudinal studies in this area. This thesis reports the results of a prospective longitudinal cohort study of cognitive decline in people with recent-onset NVAF compared to controls. To inform the thesis, an extensive literature review was undertaken . This included searches on NVAF and cognitive decline, NVAF and silent infarction, epidemiology of NVAF, other risk factors for cognitive decline, epidemiology of cognitive decline and the neuropsychological tests included in the CAFE battery. Methods 362 people over 60, screenedi n primary care, underwent baseline assessmenitn cluding a battery of neuropsychological tests, repeated at 12 months (n=304). Cases (n=175) with recent-onset NVAF, were matched for age, sex and GP practice with controls in sinus rhythm. Data were compared using SPSS software (version 11) with both parametric and non-parametric analysis. Results Baseline characteristics, including cognitive function, were similar for cases and controls. There was wide variation between individuals in change in performance on the neuropsychological tests over 12 months, with some improving and some deteriorating for each sub-test. Cases (NVAF) significantly (p<0.05) deteriorated in four subtests measuring attention/ non-verbal memory, and significantly (p<0.05) improved in two subtests measuring verbal memory. Controls significantly (p<0.05) deteriorated and improved in the same sub-tests as cases, but significantly (p<0.05) deteriorated in another three subtests measuring attention/non-verbal memory, and significantly (p<0.05) improved in another six subtests. Treatment with warfarin or aspirin did not appear to be associated with change in cognitive status. Conclusions At baseline there was no significant difference in cognitive function between cases in NVAF and controls in sinus rhythm. At follow-up there was no consistent relationship between NVAF and cognitive decline over 12 months, nor any apparent effect of antithrombotic therapy. Explanations include true independence of NVAF and cognitive decline, or too short a follow-up period. An additional follow-up at 36 months is underway to explore this further.

Abstract:
An estimated 3 million people in the U.S. suffer severe visual impairments that cannot be corrected medically, surgically, or with conventional eyeglasses. People with this type of visual impairment are described as having "low vision", because in most cases the visual impairment can be attributed to reduced visual acuity. The most common complaints of people with low vision are the loss of reading, the inability to recognize faces and objects, and difficulty watching television.

Abstract:
Background: COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, a neurotropic virus. Although its main manifestations are respiratory, neurological complaints associated with COVID-19 are growing. Important cognitive impairments have been shown during and after the acute illness. Objectives: To review post-COVID-19’s neurocognitive deficits. Design and Setting: Review of the literature. Methods: The PubMed database was used with the descriptors “COVID-19” and “neurocognition”, finding 94 articles. Only articles with participants without previous cognitive or psychiatric disorders were included, 7 review articles and 5 cohort studies being selected. Results: All of the reviewed articles demonstrated cognitive impairment in post-COVID-19 patients, including patients without cognitive complaints. Headache, dysgeusia, diarrhea and use of oxygen during acute COVID were related to lower scores on global cognition tests. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) was associated with a higher risk of cognitive impairment both at hospital discharge and 1 year after, mainly in working memory, processing speed, executive functions and attention. Post-SARS imaging exams showed atrophy and loss of brain volume. The mechanisms of CNS injury in COVID-19 are not completely understood, but systemic hypoxia, associated with important viremia and the massive release of cytokines, has an important role in a picture of toxic encephalopathy and destruction of nervous tissue. Conclusion: There is evidence of neurocognitive impairments as a result of COVID-19, however studies on the mechanisms of occurrence and severity of deficits are scarce. Further studies are needed to identify predictors and develop prevention strategies.

Abstract:
Background: SARS-CoV-2 is capable of causing neurological symptoms of the CNS in addition to respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Early knowledge of the possible cognitive functions compromised by the infection will allow the health system to anticipate and create measures to minimize irreversible damage. Objectives: to analyze the cognitive impairment associated with COVID-19, taking into account its pathophysiological mechanisms and their short and long-term consequences. Methods: Narrative review of 62 articles, based on an active search on the PubMed, Google Scholar, Jama and American Academy of Neurology research platforms. Results: Cognitive impairment can be present both during and after infection. The main risk factors for cognitive impairments in the short term are: other neurological symptoms (headache, anosmia, dysgeusia); diarrhea and oxygen therapy. The main cognitive functions affected were memory, attention, executive functions (mental flexibility) and language (semantic and phonetic fluency) associated with anxiety and depression. The factors that contribute to long-term cognitive decline are: previous cognitive weakness (comorbidities); the inflammatory process of COVID-19 with pulmonary (hypoxia), vascular (ischemia), neurological (neuronal damage) and hospitalization (sedation, isolation, delirium). The hippocampus appears to be particularly vulnerable to coronavirus infections. Conclusion: Short-term and long-term cognitive impairment associated with COVID-19 may be related to the increased likelihood of cognitive impairment, as well as the acceleration of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease. Follow-up with neuropsychological assessments of these patients and epidemiological studies are necessary to analyze this impact and to create prevention and treatment programs.

Abstract:
Abstract: Lecturers' perspectives are vital for fostering inclusive online environments, as they provide essential support and accommodations for students with hearing and visual impairments. Thus, this study aims to identify and analyse the challenges faced by UiTM students with hearing and visual impairments during online learning, highlighting the unique barriers they encounter in this educational setting from educators’ point of view. Employing a quantitative research approach, the study examines the diverse challenges perceived by lecturers of students with sensory impairments. Thirty participants completed a survey questionnaire comprising three sections with six variables each, tailored to investigate the difficulties experienced by students with sensory impairments. Findings indicate that many lecturers lack advanced notice from the faculty about teaching visually and hearing-impaired students, affecting their readiness. While some require 1-2 weeks to convert course materials into alternate formats, others lack systematic guidelines for teaching graphics. Although 66.7% of lecturers teaching visually impaired students and 20.0% teaching hearing-impaired students have converted materials to electronic readable formats, a significant proportion reported no provision of assistive technology by the faculty. Extra time is granted during examinations, with varying durations. The study highlights the need to tailor accommodations to students' diverse needs and calls for more research on effective support strategies.
