Acute inpatient rehabilitation is crucial for improving mobility and balance for individuals with stroke. A potentially important factor in the recovery of mobility and balance is cognition. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cognition on mobility and balance in acute stroke rehabilitation.

- * Factors such as higher education and income were linked to better PROMs, while specific brain injuries affected performance ratings differently, highlighting the impact of socioeconomics and brain health on recovery perceptions.
- * The research identified a connection between parietal lobe damage and poorer self-reported outcomes, suggesting that injuries affecting self-awareness can distort patients' assessments of their own capabilities.
Post-COVID-19 cognitive deficits are common, persistent, and disabling. Evidence on effective treatments is limited. The goal of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a digital intervention to reduce cognitive and functional deficits in adults with persistent post-COVID-19 cognitive dysfunction.

- The study explores the effectiveness of Maya, a mobile app providing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety in young adults aged 18 to 25, addressing the common issue of anxiety disorders among this demographic.
- Participants engaged in a 6-week program and were divided into three groups, each receiving different text message incentives to encourage involvement, while their anxiety levels were measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale.
- Results showed a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms after the intervention, with participants maintaining improvement even 12 weeks post-treatment, highlighting the potential of digital mental health tools for this age group.
Brain fluid clearance by pathways including the recently described paravascular glymphatic system is a critical homeostatic mechanism by which metabolic products, toxins, and other wastes are removed from the brain. Brain fluid clearance may be especially important after traumatic brain injury (TBI), when blood, neuronal debris, inflammatory cells, and other substances can be released and/or deposited. Using a non-invasive dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) method that models the rate at which an intravenously injected radiolabeled molecule (in this case C-flumazenil) is cleared from ventricular cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), we estimated the overall efficiency of brain fluid clearance in humans who had experienced complicated-mild or moderate TBI 3-6 months before neuroimaging ( = 7) as compared to healthy controls ( = 9).
