Sono discussi i punti cruciali della clinica epilettologica e neuropsicologica delle encefalopatie epilettiche, con l'intento di documentare la relazione complessa e non sempre diretta che intercorre tra questi due livelli di osservazione in particolare riferimento all'outcome cognitivo. Segue la descrizione del profilo neuropsicologico del nostro campione clinico (n = 10), riguardo al quale possiamo dimostrare un andamento duplice, di tipo rispettivamente avverso o piů propizio in funzione della maggiore o minore frequenza delle manifestazioni elettrocliniche e della poli- o monoterapia. Il gruppo con outcome cognitivo piů favorevole (n = 7) documenta un'ampia variabilitŕ dei risultati e si presenta mediamente con disabilitŕ intellettiva lieve, difficoltŕ grafomotorie e attenzione entro limiti di norma, in innesto a variabili psicopatologiche borderline tipo attenuazione del tono dell'umore e disattenzione-iperattivitŕ. Poiché la storia clinica mette in evidenza che questi soggetti risultano essere quelli liberi da tempo da crisi e con non piů di due principi in terapia, le evidenze neuropsicologiche supportano dunque una relazione causale tra la malignitŕ del quadro e l'outcome cognitivo.

La conmoción cerebral (CC) es la principal causa de lesión cerebral en deportistas de contacto siendo el fútbol americano (FA) uno de los más populares. La CC produce una amplia gama de síntomas físicos, cognitivos y emocionales que hasta el 36.1% de los jugadores desconocen. Los cambios cognitivos ocurren en la atención, memoria, flexibilidad mental, fluidez verbal, planeación, memoria de trabajo, inhibición y velocidad de procesamiento. El objetivo fue evaluar el rendimiento cognitivo de un jugador defensivo de FA categoría mayor, de 23 años de edad y 15 años de escolaridad, antes y después de presentar una CC. Se aplicaron los siguientes instrumentos: Cuestionario de Datos Generales, test de MoCA, Dígitos y Cubos en regresión, Detección Visual, Fluidez Verbal Semántica, test de Stroop, Torre de Hanoi y Wisconsin. Se estableció su perfil cognitivo basal en pretemporada y se reevaluó durante la temporada una semana posterior a una CC. En la evaluación pretemporada el jugador presentó un perfil cognitivo dentro de los rangos esperados para su edad y escolaridad. En la fase aguda de la CC, el jugador disminuyó su rendimiento en tareas de velocidad de procesamiento (pre: 26 seg; post:120 seg), atención sostenida (pre:7 puntos; post:6 puntos), inhibición (pre: 84 aciertos; post: 82 aciertos) y planeación (pre: 15 movimientos; post: 20 movimientos). La EN ha demostrado ser una herramienta sensible y confiable para la detección de los síntomas cognitivos en fase aguda y posterior a la CC.
Palabras claves: neuropsicología, fútbol, cognición Cerebral Concussion (CC) is the main cause of brain injury in contact athletes, with American football (AF) being one of the most popular. The CC produces a wide range of physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms that most of the players (36,1%) do not know. Cognitive changes are observed in attention and memory processes, mental flexibility, verbal fluency, planning, working memory, inhibition and speed of processing. The Neuropsychological Assessment (NA) is fundamental for the detection and management of CC in the acute phase and its sequelae. The objective was to evaluate the cognitive performance of a defensive player of american football, major category, of 23 years of age and 15 years of schooling, before and after presenting a CC. Instruments were: General Data Questionnaire, MoCA test, Digits and Cubes in regression, Visual Detection, Semantic Verbal Fluency, Stroop test, Tower of Hanoi and Wisconsin Sorting Cards. Baseline cognitive profile was established and reevaluated during the season one week after a CC. In the pre-season evaluation the player presented a cognitive profile within the ranges expected. In the acute phase of CC, the player decreased his performance in processing speed tasks (pre: 26 sec, post: 120 sec), sustained attention (pre: 7 points, post: 6 points), inhibition (pre: 84) hits, post: 82 hits) and planning (pre: 15 movements, post: 20 movements). The NA has proven to be a sensitive and reliable tool for the detection of cognitive symptoms in the acute and post-CC phase.

L'adozione di politiche di sviluppo urbano focalizzate sulla cultura, sia dal lato dell'offerta (realizzazione di infrastrutture e sostegno alle industrie culturali e creative) sia da quello della domanda (campagne di promozione turistica, programmazione di eventi) e prassi corrente nel capitalismo cognitivo. Intorno al nesso tra cultura e sviluppo economico si e coagulato un vasto dibattito scientifico che fa da sfondo e giustificazione per l'adozione di politiche pubbliche conseguenti, in particolare, ma non solo, alla scala urbana. In realta, la produzione e il consumo di cultura sono pero spesso associati a fenomeni tra loro molto diversi e non di rado conflittuali. Secondo alcuni autori (Bridge, 2006; Kaasa e Vadi, 2010; Scott, 2000), lo sviluppo del settore culturale contribuisce soprattutto alla crescita economica e al vantaggio competitivo urbano, attraverso la generazione di nuova conoscenza per l'innovazione e la creativita ma, anche, effetti positivi su altre attivita economiche correlate. Altri ne enfatizzano le potenzialita inclusive, adatte alla costruzione dei diritti di cittadinanza e alla promozione di una societa piu giusta e coesa (Stern e Seifert, 2007), altri ancora assumono una posizione intermedia, attribuendo alla cultura sia un vantaggio competitivo che un beneficio per l'inclusione sociale, senza pero riuscire a chiarire appieno il rapporto tra queste due dimensioni dello sviluppo (Sacco e Segre, 2009). In questo articolo si inquadra e analizza il caso di Matera 2019 all'interno del progetto di Capitale Europea della Cultura ed alla luce delle teorie legate allo sviluppo urbano trainato dalla cultura. L'analisi del caso di Matera 2019 si pone l'obiettivo di misurare gli impatti attualmente osservabili nella citta sotto il profilo socio-spaziale e di indagare le modalita con cui i cittadini materani hanno interagito con l'evento, attraverso un'analisi della loro opinione circa il percorso svolto e le possibilita future della citta.

Full textAbstract:
Approximately 30% of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) have cognitive impairment and 8%–14% fulfil the criteria for behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bv-FTD). The cognitive profiles of ALS and bv-FTD have been reported to be comparable, but this has never been systematically investigated. We aimed to determine the cognitive profile of bv-FTD and examine its similarities with that of ALS, to provide evidence for the existence of a cognitive disease continuum encompassing bv-FTD and ALS. We therefore systematically reviewed neuropsychological studies on bv-FTD patients and healthy volunteers. Neuropsychological tests were divided in 10 cognitive domains and effect sizes were calculated for all domains and compared with the cognitive profile of ALS by means of a visual comparison and a Pearson’s r correlation coefficient. We included 120 studies, totalling 2425 bv-FTD patients and 2798 healthy controls. All cognitive domains showed substantial effect sizes, indicating cognitive impairment in bv-FTD patients compared to healthy controls. The cognitive domains with the largest effect sizes were social cognition, verbal memory and fluency (1.77–1.53). The cognitive profiles of bv-FTD and ALS (10 cognitive domains, 1287 patients) showed similarities on visual comparison and a moderate correlation 0.58 (p=0.13). When social cognition, verbal memory, fluency, executive functions, language and visuoperception were considered, i.e. the cognitive profile of ALS, Pearson’s r was 0.73 (p=0.09), which raised to 0.92 (p=0.03), when language was excluded in this systematic analysis of patients with a non-language subtype of FTD. The cognitive profile of bv-FTD consists of deficits in social cognition, verbal memory, fluency and executive functions and shows similarities with the cognitive profile of ALS. These findings support a cognitive continuum encompassing ALS and bv-FTD.

A síndrome de Potocki-Lupski (PTLS), ou trissomia 17p11.2, caracteriza-se por microduplicação da banda 11.2 do cromossomo 17. Trata-se de uma síndrome recém descoberta, associada à síndrome de Smith-Magenis - SMS e caracteriza-se pela presença de sintomas dos transtornos do espectro do autismo, comprometimentos cognitivos, dificuldades na fala e aprendizagem, hipotonia e alterações cardíacas congênitas. O objetivo desse estudo foi estabelecer o perfil cognitivo de um adolescente diagnosticado com PTLS. O participante, do sexo masculino, tinha 19 anos, cursando o nono ano do ensino fundamental, e foi diagnosticado nesta mesma idade, antes desta avaliação, solicitada devido às suas dificuldades de aprendizagem. Foram realizadas entrevista anamnésica, entrevista semi-estruturada com o adolescente, cinco sessões em que foram administrados testes de inteligência (WAIS-III, Raven), de habilidades cognitivas (RAVLT, TDE, D2, FAS) e de personalidade (HTP) e, ao final, realizou-se a entrevista devolutiva com o adolescente e a mãe. Identificaram-se prejuízos importantes de atenção e funções executivas e déficits relacionados à linguagem, com relativa preservação da organização perceptiva-visual e da velocidade de processamento. O atraso cognitivo e as dificuldades de aprendizagem, sobretudo relacionadas à aquisição de habilidades escolares, corroboram dados da literatura. Por outro lado, foram observadas pontuações próximas à média em provas de inteligência, o que não reflete sua real funcionalidade, indicando que resultados majorados em testes padronizados podem ser efeito de supertreino ou podem refletir os déficits executivos, usualmente não identificáveis em testes de inteligência. A avaliação neuropsicológica possibilitou o estabelecimento do perfil cognitivo, indicando forças e fraquezas, fornecendo subsídios ao projeto terapêutico no âmbito clínico e educacional.
Introduction: Potocki-Lupski syndrome (PTLS), or trisomy 17p11.2, is characterized by microduplication of band 11.2 of chromosome 17. It is a newly discovered syndrome, associated with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) and presents symptoms of the autism spectrum disorders, cognitive impairments, speech and learning difficulties, hypotonia and congenital heart alterations. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the cognitive profile of an adolescent with PTLS. Method: The male participant was 19 years of age, enrolled in the ninth year of elementary education, and was diagnosed at this age, prior to this evaluation, due to his learning difficulties. An anamnesis interview, a semi-structured interview, five sessions in which intelligence tests (WAIS-III, Raven), cognitive ability tests (RAVLT, TDE, D2, FAS) and personality tests (HTP) were administered, and a return interview with the adolescent and the mother were carried out. Results: Significant impairments in attention and executive functions and language-related deficits were identified, with relative preservation of the perceptual-visual organization and processing speed. The cognitive delay and learning difficulties, especially related to the acquisition of academic skills, corroborate data from the literature. Scores close to the average in intelligence tests were observed, which did not reflect the real functionality. Conclusions: Higher scores in the standardized tests may have been an effect of intensive training or may reflect executive deficits that are usually unidentifiable in intelligence tests. The neuropsychological evaluation established the cognitive profile, indicating strengths and weaknesses, providing support for the therapeutic project in the clinical and educational context.

Full textAbstract:
Children with communication needs are often allocated intervention services as a result of the relationship between their cognitive ability and language performance. Children with higher cognitive skills relative to language skills are considered promising candidates for language services. In contrast, children who are delayed in both cognitive and language abilities are considered poor candidates for intervention and are often excluded from services, or given a lower priority for services. This study examines the effects of intervention on one aspect of pragmatic development (discourse skills) following intervention for two groups of young children with delayed language development: one group with measured cognitive performance above language performance, and the other group with similar delays in both language and cognitive performance. Repeated measures analyses of variance indicated significant differences between groups for two of 15 measures derived from language samples. Both favored the children with equivalent delays in language and cognition. These findings do not support the notion that children with equivalent delays in cognition and language development are poor candidates for language intervention. Service delivery and policy implications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Les profils de comportement alimentaire ou de consommation de nutriments sont des stratégies prometteuses pour étudier le lien entre nutrition et fonctions cognitives chez les personnes âgées, car ils permettent de prendre en compte la complexité des apports alimentaires. Des profils dits « sains », définis a priori pour évaluer l’adhérence à une alimentation spécifique, ou construits a posteriori à partir des données observées, ont été associés à de meilleures fonctions cognitives. Jusqu’à présent, aucune étude n’avait estimé l’association longitudinale entre profils a posteriori et déclin cognitif. L’objectif principal de cette thèse en cotutelle entre l’Université Bordeaux Segalen et l’Université Laval était d’investiguer l’association entre des profils de nutriments a posteriori et le déclin cognitif par une analyse longitudinale dans deux cohortes de personnes âgées en France et au Canada. Parmi les participants français de l’étude Trois-Cités (3C) et ceux de l’étude longitudinale québécoise NuAge, respectivement 1388 et 1454 sujets avaient des mesures répétées de cognition et des données nutritionnelles à l’inclusion. Une méthode similaire d’analyse en composantes principales a été utilisée, permettant d’identifier trois profils de nutriments dans chaque cohorte. La qualité de l’alimentation et les caractéristiques du mode de vie et socioéconomiques associées à chaque profil de nutriments ont été décrites dans une première étude. Ensuite, des analyses longitudinales ont été menées pour estimer l’association entre la fonction cognitive, son déclin et les profils de nutriments identifiés. Dans les deux cohortes, un premier profil a été observé associé à une meilleure qualité nutritionnelle en opposition à un second profil de moins bonne qualité nutritionnelle. Dans l’étude 3C, le profil « sain » était associé à de meilleures fonctions cognitives à l’inclusion alors que le profil « occidental » était associé à de moins bonnes fonctions cognitives. Aucune association entre profils de nutriments et déclin cognitif dans le temps n’a été observée dans les deux cohortes. Le niveau de preuve concernant des profils de consommation d’aliments ou de nutriments chez l’aîné n’est pas suffisant pour le développement de politiques publiques nutritionnelles de prévention du déclin cognitifDietary or nutrient patterns may be promising strategies to investigate the association between nutrition and cognitive function in older persons, because they capture the complexity of food intake. Both a priori defined, measuring adherence to specific diets, and a posteriori data driven dietary patterns have been reported to be associated with better cognitive function in older persons. To date, no study has investigated the link between a posteriori derived nutrient patterns and cognitive decline. The main objective of this thesis, co-directed between University Bordeaux Segalen and University Laval, was to assess the relationship of nutrient patterns with cognitive impairment and decline in two cohorts of older persons from France and Canada in a longitudinal analysis. Among the subjects from the Three-City (3C, France) study and Quebec Longitudinal Study NuAge (Quebec, Canada), respectively 1,388 and 1,454 had nutritional data at baseline and repeated measures of global cognitive function over 5 years. A similar principal component analysis was used in the two samples to derive nutrient patterns and allow the identification of three nutrient patterns in each study. The diet quality, lifestyle and socio-economic characteristics associated with each nutrient pattern were described in a first study. Then, longitudinal analyses were performed in both cohorts to estimate the association between nutrient patterns and cognitive function or decline. In both cohorts, we observed an opposition in diet quality between the first two nutrient patterns. In 3C, the healthy nutrient pattern was associated with better cognitive function at baseline, whereas the western nutrient pattern was associated with cognitive impairment at baseline. No association between any of the nutrient patterns and cognitive decline was reported in both cohorts. To date, the evidence concerning dietary or nutrient patterns and cognitive function in older persons does not yet allow the development of nutritional policies and programs to prevent cognitive decline

Full textAbstract:
The portfolio has three parts.Part One is a systematic literature review concerning the nature and severity of the psychological distress experienced by carers (primarily parents) of people with Muscular Dystrophy. Quantitative and qualitative studies investigating distress in these carers have been reviewed and critically evaluated to draw conclusions and implications for clinical practice. Part Two is an empirical paper aimed at creating a cognitive profile for people suffering from Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in the advanced stages of the illness. The focus of this cross-sectional study is placed on the investigation of whether hypoventilation, inevitably seen to develop in this population, is related to permanent cognitive deficits in memory and/or executive functioning. The participants who have been identified to suffer from hypoventilation (N=17) are compared on measures of memory and executive functioning to a group of DMD participants of similar age (N=16) who have not yet developed hypoventilation. Other measures are also taken in the form of questionnaires to compare the groups on, including demographics, mood (depression and anxiety), health-related quality of life, sleepiness, and beliefs about sleep. Part Three comprises the Appendices.

Smith, Faye Rebecca Helen. "The early cognitive profile and the interactions between health and cognition in children with Down syndrome." Thesis, University of York, 2014. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/7577/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis aimed to examine the development of cognitive, linguistic and adaptive skills in children with Down syndrome, with a particular emphasis on the interactions between health and these outcomes. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 describe a longitudinal study in which the cognitive, adaptive and linguistic skills of four- to five-year-old children with Down syndrome were traced over 15 months. Parental interviews about health enabled examination of the links between health and cognitive outcomes. Chapter 6 reports a vocabulary training study, which aimed to look at the relationship between sleep and vocabulary consolidation; a more specific health-cognition link. Chapters 3 and 4 showed that the cognitive, linguistic and adaptive profile associated with older children and adults with Down syndrome had fully emerged by the age of four, although there was a large degree of variability in the expression of the profile at the individual level. The relationships between different cognitive domains in the children with Down syndrome were largely similar to those in the typically developing group, suggesting that development is delayed rather than disordered. The only exception was the relationship between grammar and vocabulary which was atypical in the children with Down syndrome. Chapter 4 showed that parent-report measures of language can be reliably used as predictors of later objectively measured linguistic skill. In a more detailed investigation of vocabulary skills, Chapter 6 found that children with Down syndrome were able to consolidate new vocabulary over time, achieving similar levels of performance to language matched typically developing controls. To address questions about the links between health and cognition, Chapter 5 found that childhood hearing difficulties and congenital heart defects were associated with poorer language outcomes between the ages of four- and six-years-old in children with Down syndrome. However, there were no reliable relationships between cognition and either sleep or hospitalisation measures. Furthermore, Chapter 6 failed to find a relationship between sleep and vocabulary consolidation. Implications, both for practitioners and for theoretical models of developmental disability, are discussed.

Butler, Lucy. "Social cognition and HIV : exploring the profile of cognitive impairments in HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders (HAND)." Thesis, University of East London, 2016. http://roar.uel.ac.uk/5407/.
Full textAbstract:
The success of combined antiretroviral therapy has transformed Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection from an acute and life-limiting condition to an enduring but treatable illness, marked by fluctuations in HIV-related health consequences and co-morbidities. HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) are one such possible consequence and are of particular concern in light of their sustained high prevalence in people with otherwise well-managed HIV infection. Given the neuropsychological profile of HAND (affecting frontostriatal brain regions and associated executive functions), it has been suggested that HAND may have implications for social cognition; that is to say, the cognitive capacities that facilitate social interaction. Thus, the current study aimed to explore social cognitive performance in the neuropsychological profile of HAND. A diverse HIV-positive cohort (N=16), recruited across two outpatient services, were administered the Social Stories Questionnaire (Lawson, Baron-Cohen, & Wheelwright, 2004), Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (Baron-Cohen, Wheelwright, Hill, Raste, & Plumb, 2001), and the Questionnaire of Cognitive & Affective Empathy (Reniers et al., 2011), alongside a standard neuropsychological battery. Using IMB SPSS v22, an exploratory group-level bivariate correlational analysis compared group scores against published normative data, and further Individual Profile Analyses explored cognitive differences within rather than across individuals to investigate trends not apparent at group-level. The sample demonstrated reliable performance weaknesses on both tests of social cognition (RMET and SSQ), independent of executive function and in the absence of global of specific impairments. Individual Profile Analyses revealed that these impairments were unrelated to stage of infection and occurred alongside (not before) cognitive decline in other core domains. Recommendations for further research are offered, drawing upon a critical review of the methodology employed. Clinical implications include; suggestions for increasing professional curiosity and empathy; psychoeducation; and the role of clinical neuropsychology in contributing to the development of the wider understanding of the potential emotional and behavioural sequelae of HAND.

The main structures involved in the neuropathology of KS are the mammillary bodies and the thalamus. It is generally assumed that KS is a stable amnesic condition, and little research has been done in studying the effects of aging on the syndrome.A group of elderly KS patients were evaluated on a large battery of neuropsychological tests to examine general cognitive function, memory, attention, visuo-spatial ability, and executive function. Their performance was compared to age-matched Alzheimer's disease patients and healthy controls. Results showed that there is an interaction between age and KS, with exaggerated deficits seen in memory and executive function, as well as new deficits in semantic memory.
To better understand KS, the thesis provides a review focusing on human, English language studies published between the years 1995 and 2008. Updates on the current findings of treatment and prevention, genetics and prevalence, neuropathology, and neuropsychology including memory and frontal function are provided. In addition, comparison studies of KS to other neurological disorders are summarized.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: The relationship between alcohol and cognition is complex. Objective: To investigate the association of alcohol consumption with cognitive impairment, functionality, psychiatric and neurological diagnoses. Methods: Cross-sectional population-based study. 602 subjects 75+ years were categorized according to the number of drinks consumed per week: 0 (abstainers); 0.1 to 7 (light); 7.1 to 14 (moderate); > 14 (heavy). Cognitive diagnoses were established: dementia, cognitive impairment no dementia (CIND) and without cognitive impairment. Results: On multivariate analysis there was no association between cognitive profile and current or previous alcohol consumption. When previous alcohol consumption was treated as dichotomous variable, no association emerged with cognitive profile (p=0.109). As for current habit of alcohol intake treated as dichotomous variable, the absence of alcohol consumption was associated with dementia (OR=2.34; 95%CI: 1.39- 3.90), stroke (p=0.014), current major depression (p=0.013), parkinsonism (p=0.041) and worse functionality (p=0.001). Cachaça consumption was associated with dementia (OR=2.52; 95%CI: 1.25-5.04). Conclusion: Absence of current alcohol consumption was associated with diagnosis of dementia, stroke, major depression, parkinsonism and worse functionality. On the other hand, intake of cachaça was associated with dementia.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC) almost doubles car crash risk (odds ratios range: 1.28-2.49). Known DUIC correlates include male gender, low perceived danger of DUIC, and greater frequency of cannabis and other drug use. Less is known about the role of executive cognitive functioning (e.g., skills in planning, organization) as a correlate of DUIC. Deficits in executive cognitive functioning could precede, and be exacerbated by heavy cannabis use, potentially contributing to DUIC risk. Objectives: This cross-sectional survey study used a person-centered analysis (latent profile analysis) to (1) identify prototypical profiles representing aspects of executive functioning and substance use in young adults, and (2) determine which profiles were associated with self-report of DUIC. We hypothesized that at least two profiles would be identified: mainly or only cannabis use vs polysubstance use. We also predicted that the polysubstance use profile would be associated with worse executive functioning and self-report of DUIC. Method: Young adults (N=69; ages 18-25; mean age=20.0 [SD=1.9]; 62.3% female; 75.4% White, 13.0% Black, 11.6% Other race/ethnicity) who reported weekly cannabis use were recruited from the community in Pittsburgh, PA to participate in a study of cannabis effects on cognition. Baseline collected demographics, self-reported age of cannabis use onset (age <16 vs age >16), NIDA modified ASSIST, Marijuana Withdrawal Checklist, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF) (working memory, organization/planning scales), and Marijuana Consequences Questionnaire (item on “driven a car when high” in past 6 months). Latent profile analysis (LatentGold 5.1) was used to identify distinct classes, testing the fit of 1-5 classes. Each model included 10 indicators: age of cannabis use onset, frequency of cannabis and tobacco use, cannabis withdrawal severity, ASSIST scores for cannabis, cocaine and hallucinogens (the substances most often reported), AUDIT score, and BRIEF working memory, and organization/planning scores. For the best fitting model, covariates (i.e., self-report of DUIC, age, gender) were examined as profile correlates in a separate, final step. Results: A model with 3 latent profiles was selected (see Figure). The profiles represented “Polysubstance Use” (40.8%), “Primary Cannabis” (22.3%), and “Later Onset Cannabis” (36.9%). Polysubstance use profile reported more cannabis-related problems and other drug use, and more problems with executive functioning than the other profiles (p<.05). Later Onset (vs Polysubstance Use) profile had older onset age (p<.05), and had the lowest level of cannabis involvement. Primary Cannabis and Later Onset profiles did not differ in report of problems with executive functioning. DUIC in the past 6 months (reported by 50.7% of the total sample) was more likely to be reported by Polysubstance use than Later Onset profile (p<.01). Polysubstance use profile was younger than Primary Cannabis profile (p<.05). The profiles did not differ by gender. Conclusions: As hypothesized, Polysubstance Use profile (which reported early cannabis use onset; and worse executive functioning, including problems with memory, planning/ organization) was associated with self-report of DUIC. Results highlight the role of self-reported executive functioning difficulties in DUIC risk, and the importance of targeting polysubstance use in preventing DUIC.

Background: We observe Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) when patients perceive a decline in their cognitive functions, but this decline is not detected in neuropsychological assessments. Few studies have investigated the prevalence of SCD in the Brazilian population. Objective: Analyze the profile of 50+ years Brazilian people regarding SCD through a self-administered online questionnaire Methods: Cross-sectional study, in the online modality. The recruitment of participants took place through email, Facebook, and WhatsApp. Results: We received 1440 responses, mainly from the country’s Southeast region (80.0%). Most of the respondents were female (67.0%), with a mean age of 58.7 (SD=8.5) years, heterosexual (97.3%), skin color referred to as white (84.5%), married (67.6%), post-graduated (51.0%) and working, but not retired (45.5%). About 55.0% reported that their memory has worsened over the past five years and 50.0% of those informed that the worsening of memory worries them. For 38.0% of the respondents, their memory is adequate. Regarding cognitive functions in the last five years, 41.0% claim that they have had problems with attention or concentration, 46.0% that their reasoning has slowed down, and 55% that they have had issues with language. Conclusion: An expressive proportion of the analyzed sample perceived a decline in their cognition at some level.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the study was to assess the differences in cognitive abilities compared across clinical and control groups. It was hypothesized that differences between groups would be small or non-existant, due to rather heterogeneous clinical profiles. And they could be partially explained by participants’ age as cognitive abilities develope over time. Further analysis of the sample was performed by creating cognitive ability profiles of the participants. The study used data from the project “Development of a Screening Method for Children with ADHD and CSWS in Children aged 7–15”, and included data from 97 children, which were divided into 3 groups: ADHD, combined ADHD and epilepsy and control group. For assessing cognitive abilities an extended battery of executive and other cognitive computerized tests were used: Stroop Color and Word Test, Digit Span Test, Symbol Digit Modalities Test, and Continious Performance Test. The analysis of cognitive ability profiles reveals a wide range of heterogeneity in both clinical and control groups. It revealed that children with ADHD and combined ADHD and epilepsy have more profiles with lower cognitive abilities compared to control group. Some children with ADHD have similar cognitive profiles to those of typically developed children, suggesting that in some cases there may be a small difference in cognitive performance between ADHD and typically developed children.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional user experience (UX) models are mostly qualitative in terms of its measurement and structure. This paper proposes a quantitative UX model based on cumulative prospect theory. It takes a decision making perspective between two alternative design profiles. However, affective elements are well-known to have influence on human decision making, the prevailing computational models for analyzing and simulating human perception on UX are mainly cognition-based models. In order to incorporate both affective and cognitive factors in the decision making process, we manipulate the parameters involved in the cumulative prospect model to show the affective influence. Specifically, three different affective states are induced to shape the model parameters. A hierarchical Bayesian model with a technique called Markov chain Monte Carlo is used to estimate the parameters. A case study of aircraft cabin interior design is illustrated to show the proposed methodology.

Review question / Objective: The objective the current review is to delineate the cognitive profile of SCT, particularly where it is similar to or different from ADHD-related inattention. In addition, the review will provide an analysis of methodological factors that might account for discrepancies in research findings and guidance for future studies. Condition being studied: Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is a constellation of symptoms originally identified among children with the inattentive subtype of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD-I). These symptoms include daydreaming, inconsistent alertness, hypoactivity and lethargy. Although there is considerable overlap with ADHD-I, factor analytic and convergent and discriminant validity studies suggest that SCT is a distinct construct. Moreover, there is evidence that SCT may be common in a number of other disorders, including depression and autism - suggesting that SCT might represent an important transdiagnostic construct.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives. To evaluate the evidence on benefits and harms of cannabinoids and similar plant-based compounds to treat chronic pain. Data sources. Ovid® MEDLINE®, PsycINFO®, Embase®, the Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS® databases, reference lists of included studies, submissions received after Federal Register request were searched to July 2021. Review methods. Using dual review, we screened search results for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies of patients with chronic pain evaluating cannabis, kratom, and similar compounds with any comparison group and at least 1 month of treatment or followup. Dual review was used to abstract study data, assess study-level risk of bias, and rate the strength of evidence. Prioritized outcomes included pain, overall function, and adverse events. We grouped studies that assessed tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or cannabidiol (CBD) based on their THC to CBD ratio and categorized them as high-THC to CBD ratio, comparable THC to CBD ratio, and low-THC to CBD ratio. We also grouped studies by whether the product was a whole-plant product (cannabis), cannabinoids extracted or purified from a whole plant, or synthetic. We conducted meta-analyses using the profile likelihood random effects model and assessed between-study heterogeneity using Cochran’s Q statistic chi square and the I2 test for inconsistency. Magnitude of benefit was categorized into no effect or small, moderate, and large effects. Results. From 2,850 abstracts, 20 RCTs (N=1,776) and 7 observational studies (N=13,095) assessing different cannabinoids were included; none of kratom. Studies were primarily short term, and 75 percent enrolled patients with a variety of neuropathic pain. Comparators were primarily placebo or usual care. The strength of evidence (SOE) was low, unless otherwise noted. Compared with placebo, comparable THC to CBD ratio oral spray was associated with a small benefit in change in pain severity (7 RCTs, N=632, 0 to10 scale, mean difference [MD] −0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] −0.95 to −0.19, I2=28%; SOE: moderate) and overall function (6 RCTs, N=616, 0 to 10 scale, MD −0.42, 95% CI −0.73 to −0.16, I2=24%). There was no effect on study withdrawals due to adverse events. There was a large increased risk of dizziness and sedation and a moderate increased risk of nausea (dizziness: 6 RCTs, N=866, 30% vs. 8%, relative risk [RR] 3.57, 95% CI 2.42 to 5.60, I2=0%; sedation: 6 RCTs, N=866, 22% vs. 16%, RR 5.04, 95% CI 2.10 to 11.89, I2=0%; and nausea: 6 RCTs, N=866, 13% vs. 7.5%, RR 1.79, 95% CI 1.20 to 2.78, I2=0%). Synthetic products with high-THC to CBD ratios were associated with a moderate improvement in pain severity, a moderate increase in sedation, and a large increase in nausea (pain: 6 RCTs, N=390 to 10 scale, MD −1.15, 95% CI −1.99 to −0.54, I2=39%; sedation: 3 RCTs, N=335, 19% vs. 10%, RR 1.73, 95% CI 1.03 to 4.63, I2=0%; nausea: 2 RCTs, N=302, 12% vs. 6%, RR 2.19, 95% CI 0.77 to 5.39; I²=0%). We found moderate SOE for a large increased risk of dizziness (2 RCTs, 32% vs. 11%, RR 2.74, 95% CI 1.47 to 6.86, I2=0%). Extracted whole-plant products with high-THC to CBD ratios (oral) were associated with a large increased risk of study withdrawal due to adverse events (1 RCT, 13.9% vs. 5.7%, RR 3.12, 95% CI 1.54 to 6.33) and dizziness (1 RCT, 62.2% vs. 7.5%, RR 8.34, 95% CI 4.53 to 15.34). We observed a moderate improvement in pain severity when combining all studies of high-THC to CBD ratio (8 RCTs, N=684, MD −1.25, 95% CI −2.09 to −0.71, I2=50%; SOE: moderate). Evidence on whole-plant cannabis, topical CBD, low-THC to CBD, other cannabinoids, comparisons with active products, and impact on use of opioids was insufficient to draw conclusions. Other important harms (psychosis, cannabis use disorder, and cognitive effects) were not reported. Conclusions. Low to moderate strength evidence suggests small to moderate improvements in pain (mostly neuropathic), and moderate to large increases in common adverse events (dizziness, sedation, nausea) and study withdrawal due to adverse events with high- and comparable THC to CBD ratio extracted cannabinoids and synthetic products in short-term treatment (1 to 6 months). Evidence for whole-plant cannabis, and other comparisons, outcomes, and PBCs were unavailable or insufficient to draw conclusions. Small sample sizes, lack of evidence for moderate and long-term use and other key outcomes, such as other adverse events and impact on use of opioids during treatment, indicate that more research is needed.

Dual review was used to abstract study data, assess study-level risk of bias, and rate the strength of evidence (SOE). Prioritized outcomes included pain, overall function, and adverse events. We grouped studies that assessed tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and/or cannabidiol (CBD) based on their THC to CBD ratio and categorized them as comparable THC to CBD ratio, high-THC to CBD ratio, and low-THC to CBD ratio. We also grouped studies by whether the product was a whole-plant product (cannabis), cannabinoids extracted or purified from a whole plant, or a synthetic product. We conducted meta-analyses using the profile likelihood random effects model and assessed between-study heterogeneity using Cochran’s Q statistic chi square test and the I2 statistic. Magnitude of benefit was categorized as no effect or small, moderate, and large effects. Results. From 3,283 abstracts, 21 RCTs (N=1,905) and 8 observational studies (N=13,769) assessing different cannabinoids were included; none evaluated kratom. Studies were primarily short term, and 59 percent enrolled patients with neuropathic pain. Comparators were primarily placebo or usual care. The SOE was low unless otherwise noted. Compared with placebo, comparable THC to CBD ratio oral spray was associated with a small benefit in change in pain severity (7 RCTs, N=632, 0 to10 scale, mean difference [MD] −0.54, 95% confidence interval [CI] −0.95 to −0.19, I2=39%; SOE: moderate) and overall function (6 RCTs, N=616, 0 to 10 scale, MD −0.42, 95% CI −0.73 to −0.16, I2=32%). There was no effect on study withdrawals due to adverse events. There was a large increased risk of dizziness and sedation, and a moderate increased risk of nausea (dizziness: 6 RCTs, N=866, 31.0% vs. 8.0%, relative risk [RR] 3.57, 95% CI 2.42 to 5.60, I2=0%; sedation: 6 RCTs, N=866, 8.0% vs. 1.2%, RR 5.04, 95% CI 2.10 to 11.89, I2=0%; and nausea: 6 RCTs, N=866, 13% vs. 7.5%, RR 1.79, 95% CI 1.19 to 2.77, I2=0%). Synthetic products with high-THC to CBD ratios were associated with a moderate improvement in pain severity, a moderate increase in sedation, and a large increase in nausea (pain: 6 RCTs, N=390, 0 to 10 scale, MD −1.15, 95% CI −1.99 to −0.54, I2=48%; sedation: 3 RCTs, N=335, 19% vs. 10%, RR 1.73, 95% CI 1.03 to 4.63, I2=28%; nausea: 2 RCTs, N=302, 12.3% vs. 6.1%, RR 2.19, 95% CI 0.77 to 5.39; I²=0%). We also found moderate SOE for a large increased risk of dizziness (2 RCTs, 32% vs. 11%, RR 2.74, 95% CI 1.47 to 6.86, I2=40%). Extracted whole-plant products with high-THC to CBD ratios (oral) were associated with a large increased risk of study withdrawal due to adverse events (1 RCT, 13.9% vs. 5.7%, RR 3.12, 95% CI 1.54 to 6.33) and dizziness (1 RCT, 62.2% vs. 7.5%, RR 8.34, 95% CI 4.53 to 15.34); outcomes assessing benefit were not reported or insufficient. We observed a moderate improvement in pain severity when combining all studies of high-THC to CBD ratio (8 RCTs, N=684, MD −1.25, 95% CI −2.09 to −0.71, I2=58%; SOE: moderate). Evidence (including observational studies) on whole-plant cannabis, topical or oral CBD, low-THC to CBD, other cannabinoids, comparisons with active products or between cannabis-related products, and impact on use of opioids was insufficient to draw conclusions. Other important harms (psychosis, cannabis use disorder, and cognitive effects) were not reported. Conclusions. Low to moderate strength evidence suggests small to moderate improvements in pain (mostly neuropathic), and moderate to large increases in common adverse events (dizziness, sedation, nausea) with high- and comparable THC to CBD ratio extracted cannabinoids and synthetic products during short-term treatment (1 to 6 months); high-THC to CBD ratio products were also associated with increased risk of withdrawal due to adverse events. Evidence for whole-plant cannabis and other comparisons, outcomes, and plant-based compounds was unavailable or insufficient to draw conclusions. Small sample sizes, lack of evidence for moderate and long-term use and other key outcomes, such as other adverse events and impact on use of opioids during treatment, indicate that more research is needed.

Full textAbstract:
Key Message Ontario long-term care (LTC) home residents have experienced disproportionately high morbidity and mortality, both from COVID-19 and from the conditions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. There are several measures that could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes, if implemented. First, temporary staffing could be minimized by improving staff working conditions. Second, homes could be further decrowded by a continued disallowance of three- and four-resident rooms and additional temporary housing for the most crowded homes. Third, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in staff could be minimized by approaches that reduce the risk of transmission in communities with a high burden of COVID-19. Summary Background The Province of Ontario has 626 licensed LTC homes and 77,257 long-stay beds; 58% of homes are privately owned, 24% are non-profit/charitable, 16% are municipal. LTC homes were strongly affected during Ontario’s first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Questions What do we know about the first and second waves of COVID-19 in Ontario LTC homes? Which risk factors are associated with COVID-19 outbreaks in Ontario LTC homes and the extent and death rates associated with outbreaks? What has been the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the general health and wellbeing of LTC residents? How has the existing Ontario evidence on COVID-19 in LTC settings been used to support public health interventions and policy changes in these settings? What are the further measures that could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes? Findings As of January 14, 2021, a total of 3,211 Ontario LTC home residents have died of COVID-19, totaling 60.7% of all 5,289 COVID-19 deaths in Ontario to date. There have now been more cumulative LTC home outbreaks during the second wave as compared with the first wave. The infection and death rates among LTC residents have been lower during the second wave, as compared with the first wave, and a greater number of LTC outbreaks have involved only staff infections. The growth rate of SARS-CoV-2 infections among LTC residents was slower during the first two months of the second wave in September and October 2020, as compared with the first wave. However, the growth rate after the two-month mark is comparatively faster during the second wave. The majority of second wave infections and deaths in LTC homes have occurred between December 1, 2020, and January 14, 2021 (most recent date of data extraction prior to publication). This highlights the recent intensification of the COVID-19 pandemic in LTC homes that has mirrored the recent increase in community transmission of SARS-CoV-2 across Ontario. Evidence from Ontario demonstrates that the risk factors for SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks and subsequent deaths in LTC are distinct from the risk factors for outbreaks and deaths in the community (Figure 1). The most important risk factors for whether a LTC home will experience an outbreak is the daily incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infections in the communities surrounding the home and the occurrence of staff infections. The most important risk factors for the magnitude of an outbreak and the number of resulting resident deaths are older design, chain ownership, and crowding. Figure 1. Anatomy of Outbreaks and Spread of COVID-19 in LTC Homes and Among Residents Figure from Peter Hamilton, personal communication. Many Ontario LTC home residents have experienced severe and potentially irreversible physical, cognitive, psychological, and functional declines as a result of precautionary public health interventions imposed on homes, such as limiting access to general visitors and essential caregivers, resident absences, and group activities. There has also been an increase in the prescribing of psychoactive drugs to Ontario LTC residents. The accumulating evidence on COVID-19 in Ontario’s LTC homes has been leveraged in several ways to support public health interventions and policy during the pandemic. Ontario evidence showed that SARS-CoV-2 infections among LTC staff was associated with subsequent COVID-19 deaths among LTC residents, which motivated a public order to restrict LTC staff from working in more than one LTC home in the first wave. Emerging Ontario evidence on risk factors for LTC home outbreaks and deaths has been incorporated into provincial pandemic surveillance tools. Public health directives now attempt to limit crowding in LTC homes by restricting occupancy to two residents per room. The LTC visitor policy was also revised to designate a maximum of two essential caregivers who can visit residents without time limits, including when a home is experiencing an outbreak. Several further measures could be effective in preventing COVID-19 outbreaks, hospitalizations, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes. First, temporary staffing could be minimized by improving staff working conditions. Second, the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection in staff could be minimized by measures that reduce the risk of transmission in communities with a high burden of COVID-19. Third, LTC homes could be further decrowded by a continued disallowance of three- and four-resident rooms and additional temporary housing for the most crowded homes. Other important issues include improved prevention and detection of SARS-CoV-2 infection in LTC staff, enhanced infection prevention and control (IPAC) capacity within the LTC homes, a more balanced and nuanced approach to public health measures and IPAC strategies in LTC homes, strategies to promote vaccine acceptance amongst residents and staff, and further improving data collection on LTC homes, residents, staff, visitors and essential caregivers for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Interpretation Comparisons of the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in the LTC setting reveal improvement in some but not all epidemiological indicators. Despite this, the second wave is now intensifying within LTC homes and without action we will likely experience a substantial additional loss of life before the widespread administration and time-dependent maximal effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines. The predictors of outbreaks, the spread of infection, and deaths in Ontario’s LTC homes are well documented and have remained unchanged between the first and the second wave. Some of the evidence on COVID-19 in Ontario’s LTC homes has been effectively leveraged to support public health interventions and policies. Several further measures, if implemented, have the potential to prevent additional LTC home COVID-19 outbreaks and deaths.
