EngAge - A metacognitive intervention to supplement working memory training: A feasibility study in older adults.

Working Memory (WM) training has shown promise in supporting cognitive functioning in older adult populations, but effects that generalize beyond the trained task have been inconsistent. Targeting cognitive processes in isolation might be a limiting factor given that metacognitive and motivational factors have been shown to impact older adults' engagement with challenging cognitive activities, such as WM training. The current feasibility study implemented a novel metacognitive intervention in conjunction with WM training in older adults and examined its potential amplifying short- and long-term effects on cognitive and self-report outcomes as compared to WM or active control training alone.

Recurring meningoencephalitis in sinusitis-associated acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy under prednisone tapering.

The authors describe a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) with recurrent neurological complications. A 24-year-old man experienced subacute bilateral visual loss. Based on the characteristic findings in funduscopy and fluorescin angiography and after the exclusion of the differential diagnoses, APMPPE was diagnosed.
