Brief Report: Evaluating Early-Stage Lung Cancer Survival Patterns in Patients at the Upper Age Limit for Lung Cancer Screening.

Introduction: Older individuals have an elevated lung cancer risk but may also have significant comorbidities that preclude curative treatment options and limit the survival benefits of screening. The objective of this study was to assess early-stage lung cancer survival patterns among those at the upper age limit for screening and identify older individuals who have potential to benefit from for lung cancer screening.

Methods: We identified all early stage (I or II) lung cancers diagnosed in Alberta, Canada between 2010 and 2020.

Working memory multicomponent model outcomes in individuals with traumatic brain injury: Critical review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) often leads to cognitive impairments, particularly regarding working memory (WM). This meta-analysis aims to examine the impact of TBI on WM, taking into account moderating factors which has received little attention in previous research, such as severity of injury, the different domains of Baddeley's multi-component model, and the interaction between these two factors, as well as the interaction with other domains of executive functions.

Method: Following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines, a systematic review and meta-analysis searched Google Scholar, PubMed, and PsycNET for studies with objective WM measures.

The complex interplay between cognitive reserve, age of diagnosis and cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease: a retrospective study.

Objective: The present study examined the cognitive reserve (CR) theory at late stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The objective is to replicate previous studies and examine the complex role of education and family size as indicators of CR.

Participants And Methods: This is a retrospective study included 642 patients diagnosed with AD after age 65, categorized into low education (LE, ≤ 8 years,  = 141) and medium-high education (MHE, ≥ 9 years,  = 442) groups.

Large-scale evidence for the validity of remote MoCA administration among people with cerebellar ataxia.

: For over half a century, studies of rare diseases using in-person cognitive tools have faced challenges, such as long study periods and small sample sizes (e.g.  = 10).

Different delayed consequences of attaining a plateau phase in practicing a simple (finger-tapping sequence learning) and a complex (Tower of Hanoi puzzle) task.

In practicing a new task, the initial performance gains, across consecutive trials, decrease; in the following phase, performance tends to plateau. However, after a long delay additional performance improvements may emerge (delayed/ "offline" gains). It has been suggested that the attainment of the plateau phase is a necessary condition for the triggering of skill consolidation processes that lead to the expression of delayed gains.
