Preliminary validation of CCRacer serious game for assessing executive function after acquired brain injury.

Acquired brain injuries can profoundly impact executive functioning, yet traditional neuropsychological assessments often have limitations, such as being time-intensive, lacking ecological validity, or failing to engage patients effectively. To address these challenges, CCRacer, a serious game, was developed as a novel tool for assessing executive functions in clinical populations. This study evaluated the convergent and discriminant validity of CCRacer by applying it alongside established neuropsychological tests to a sample of 78 participants with acquired brain injury.

Cognitive functioning is prognostic in patients with IDH1-wild type and MGMT-unmethylated high-grade gliomas.

Aim: To investigate the prognostic factors of survival in patients with high-grade gliomas without isocitrate dehydrogenase-1 (IDH) mutation and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) promoter methylation.

Methods: The study enrolled Slovenian patients with high-grade gliomas. Postoperatively, they completed a battery of neuropsychological tests.

Meaning in challenging times: Sense of meaning supports wellbeing despite pandemic stresses.

The COVID-19 pandemic created stress and trauma for many individuals. Traumatic experiences often trigger reflection on meaning in life, with subsequent growth or despair. This study evaluates the role of meaning in life in buffering stressors in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cognitive functioning in a cohort of high-grade glioma patients.

Background: High grade gliomas are associated with cognitive problems. The aim of the study was to investigate cognitive functioning in a cohort of patients with high grade glioma, according to isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) and methyl guanine methyl transferase (MGMT) status and other clinical characteristics.

Patients And Methods: The patients with the high-grade glioma treated in Slovenia in given period of time were included in study.

Introduction: The amount of educational material delivered to pupils and students through digital screens is increasing. This method of delivering educational materials has become even more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic. To be as effective as possible, educational material must be properly designed not only in terms of content, but also in terms of form, e.
