- Network of job demands-resources and depressive symptoms in critical care nurses: a nationwide cross-sectional studyby Xuting Li on January 22, 2025
CONCLUSIONS: There was a rather strong interconnectedness between depressive symptoms and job demands-resources. Fatigue, motor, and appetite were core depressive symptoms of critical care nurses. Close attention to those symptoms could help recognize depression in critical care nurses. Supervisor support, work meaning, and co-worker support played vital roles as job resources in reducing depression, while negative impact of long average working hours per week were more contagious. Resilience,...
- Bridging brain and blood: a prospective view on neuroimaging-exosome correlations in HIV-associated neurocognitive disordersby Haixia Luo on January 22, 2025
HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder (HAND) is a complex neurological complication resulting from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, affecting about 50% of individuals with HIV and significantly diminishing their quality of life. HAND includes a variety of cognitive, motor, and behavioral disorders, severely impacting patients' quality of life and social functioning. Although combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) has greatly improved the prognosis for HIV patients, the incidence...
- Characterizing executive functioning and associated behaviors in individuals with dual-specificity tyrosine phosphorylation-regulated kinase 1A (DYRK1A) syndromeby Hannah M Rea on January 22, 2025
INTRODUCTION: DYRK1A, a protein kinase located on human chromosome 21, plays a role in postembryonic neuronal development and degeneration. Alterations to DYRK1A have been consistently associated with cognitive functioning and neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., autism, intellectual disability). However, the broader cognitive and behavioral phenotype of DYRK1A syndrome requires further characterization. Specifically, executive functioning, or cognitive processes that are necessary for...
- Olfactory dysfunction as potential biomarker in neurodegenerative diseases: a narrative reviewby Nicolas De Cleene on January 22, 2025
Neurodegenerative diseases represent a group of disorders characterized by progressive degeneration of neurons in the central nervous system, leading to a range of cognitive, motor, and sensory impairments. In recent years, there has been growing interest in the association between neurodegenerative diseases and olfactory dysfunction (OD). Characterized by a decline in the ability to detect or identify odors, OD has been observed in various conditions, including Alzheimer's disease (AD),...
