- Can the clinical sign "head-turning sign" and simple questions in "Neucop-Q" predict amyloid β pathology?by Yugaku Daté on November 21, 2024
CONCLUSION: HTSpos, Cimp, and Nimp have diagnostic utility in suspecting MCI due to AD and AD, and Pimp has diagnostic value in non-AD tauopathy. HTSpos, Cimp, and Nimp were associated with biomarkers of Aβ pathology. HTS and Neucop-Q may serve as powerful first-line screening in memory clinics.

Individuals with suicide attempt history may have lower coping resources to handle COVID-related stressors. Suicide risk assessment and intervention to increase cognitive flexibility and emotional regulation skills may help these individuals manage emotional distress experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

In both countries, epidemiologic and nutrition patterns may adversely impact individuals from socially and financially vulnerable populations with less than...
- Comparative Analysis of Cognitive and Psychiatric Functioning in People With Cushing's Disease in Biochemical Remission and People With Nonfunctioning Adenomasby Mary A Fernandes on November 21, 2024
People with Cushing's disease (CD) often experience both mood/anxiety disorders and cognitive impairments that persist during long-term biochemical remission. The relationship between persistent neurocognitive and psychiatric problems in patients with CD is not well understood. Also, mechanisms other than hypercortisolism are poorly understood, and studies comparing CD with nonfunctioning adenomas (NFA) patients postoperatively are scarce. We compared neuropsychological functioning in two...
