The Multi-Modal Evaluation of Sensory Sensitivity (MESSY): assessing a commonly missed symptom of acquired brain injury
Conclusions: These results show that sensory hypersensitivity is prevalent after different types of acquired brain injury as well as across several sensory modalities. The MESSY can improve recognition of these symptoms and facilitate further research.PMID:37291083 | DOI:10.1080/13854046.2023.2219024

The DAISY psychosocial intervention does not improve outcomes in patients with mild Alzheimer's disease or their carers
Question Question: What are the effects of a semitailored multicomponent intervention for patients with mild Alzheimer's disease and their carers? Patients: In total, 330 patients with recently diagnosed mild Alzheimer's disease living in the community and their caregivers. Other inclusion criteria: age ≥50 years, DSM-IV dementia, probable Alzheimer's disease (National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Association (NINCDS-ADRDA) criteria) or Lewy body dementia (McKeith criteria), diagnosis in past 12 months, mini-mental state exam...

Longitudinal neuropsychological findings in amyloid beta-related angiitis (AβRA): A case report.
We present longitudinal neuropsychological findings for the case of a 58-year-old man with biopsy-diagnosed AβRA. Neuropsychological test results and clinical presentation demonstrated a mild to moderate dysexecutive syndrome implicating dorsolateral frontal and orbitofrontal-subcortical systems involvement. Despite prior reports of cognitive decline following a diagnosis of AβRA, cognitive functioning remained relatively stable over a 15-month period after immunosuppressive treatment. For the most part, objective measures did not demonstrate a measurable change in cognitive functioning, except for a mild decline in memo...

Effects of glucose ingestion on autonomic and cardiovascular measures during rest and mental challenge
This study examined the effects of controlled glucose intake on cardiovascular measures at rest and in responses to mental challenge in a laboratory setting.Method: Using a double blind within-subjects design, participants were monitored at baseline, following ingestion of a glucose or taste-control solution, during structured speech (SS), anger recall (AR) and recovery (N=24, 288 repeated measures; age=21±2years). Pre-ejection period (PEP), heart rate (HR), stroke index (SI), cardiac index (CI), blood pressure and total peripheral resistance (TPR) were measured throughout the protocol.Results: Glucose resulted in sustain...

I got it! Transient cardiovascular response to the perception of humor.
Abstract The aim of the present study was to examine the transient cardiovascular response to the perception of humor, that is, the impact of the cognitive process of insight as well as the modulation of the response by the affective appraisal of the humor. To this end transient heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output, and blood pressure responses were obtained in the immediate context of detecting the punch line in cartoons. Fine-grained analysis of the transient behavior of cardiovascular variables during viewing the cartoons was contrasted to non-humorous cartoon-like pictures. The detection of a punch line w...

Little evidence that cholinesterase inhibitors prevent progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia, but they are associated with adverse effects
Question Question: How effective and safe are cholinesterase inhibitors for mild cognitive impairment? Outcomes: Progression to dementia or Alzheimer's disease (National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorders and Stroke and the Alzheimer's disease and Related Disorders Association (NINDS-ARDRA), International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 or Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV criteria), dementia with Lewy bodies or vascular dementia (consensus criteria) at 12, 24 and 36 months and adverse events. Methods Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis. Data sources: Cochrane Dementia and Cogni...

SSRIs associated with increased risk of brain haemorrhage, but absolute risks low
Question Question: Is there an association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and the incidence of brain haemorrhage? Outcomes: Incidence of intracerebral haemorrhage, intracranial haemorrhage, subarachnoid haemorrhage or haemorrhagic stroke (subarachnoid haemorrhage plus intracerebral haemorrhage). Methods Design: Systematic review with meta-analysis. Data sources: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science Conference Proceedings, SCOPUS, ProQuest and dissertations were searched for controlled observational studies (search dates not stated). Reference lists of identified studies were hand searched. Study selecti...

Simple quantitative analysis of Hoover's test in patients with psychogenic and organic limb pareses
Conclusion: Our study suggests that the quantitative analysis of the Hoover's test can be simple, reliable and cheap method of differential diagnosis between psychogenic and organic pareses, which could be of value in the routine neurological practice.

Original Articles Genetic Influence on Blood Pressure and Underlying Hemodynamics Measured at Rest and During Stress
Conclusions Cardiovascular measures obtained during rest and stress show substantial heritability that is comparable between individuals of African and European descent. Most of the variance in both resting and stress levels is explained by common genetic factors, although other genetic factors that only contribute to cardiovascular levels during stress are also important.

Annual variation in Internet keyword searches: Linking dieting interest to obesity and negative health outcomes
This study investigated the annual variation in Internet searches regarding dieting. Time-series analysis was first used to examine the annual trends of Google keyword searches during the past 7 years for topics related to dieting within the United States. The results indicated that keyword searches for dieting fit a consistent 12-month linear model, peaking in January (following New Year’s Eve) and then linearly decreasing until surging again the following January. Additional state-level analyses revealed that the size of the December–January dieting-related keyword surge was predictive of both obesity and mor...

Blood Pressure and Cognition Among Older Adults: A Meta-Analysis.
Abstract Hypertension has adverse effects on cognition, can alter cerebral vasculature integrity, and is associated with the pathogenesis of dementia. Using meta-analysis, we correlated blood pressure to multiple cognitive domains among older adults free of clinical stroke and dementia. We identified 230 studies indexed in PubMed and PsycINFO relating blood pressure and cognition. After applying exclusion criteria, we selected n = 12 articles with n = 4,076 participants (age range 43-91 years). Meta-analysis yielded an association between blood pressure and episodic memory (r = -.18, p < .001) and between blood...

Special Series on Neuroscience in Health and Disease Long-Term Survival in Adults 65 Years and Older With White Matter Hyperintensity: Association With Performance on the Digit Symbol Substitution Test
Conclusions WMH is associated with increased long-term mortality risk in community-dwelling adults 65 years and older. The increased risk is attenuated for those with higher DSST. Assessment of cognitive function with DSST may improve risk stratification of individuals with WMH.
