Age-dependent phenotypes of cognitive impairment as sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Cognitive changes associated with PASC may not be uniform across populations. We conducted individual-level pooled analyses and meta-analyses of cognitive assessments from eight prospective cohorts, comprising 2,105 patients and 1,432 controls from Argentina, Canada, Chile, Greece, India, Italy, Russia, and the UK. The meta-analysis found no differences by country of origin.

Long-term neuroplasticity in language networks after anterior temporal lobe resection.

Objective: Anterior temporal lobe resection (ATLR) is an effective treatment for drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), although language deficits may occur after both left and right ATLR. Functional reorganization of the language network has been observed in the ipsilateral and contralateral hemispheres within 12 months after ATLR, but little is known of longer-term plasticity effects. Our aim was to examine the plasticity of language functions up to a decade after ATLR, in relation to cognitive profiles.

Exercise and Cognitive Function in Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Efficacy and Harms.

Key Points: Cognitive impairment is common in CKD. Exercise targets multiple risk factors of cognitive decline. Meta-analysis found that exercise had a small but positive effect on cognitive function in CKD, albeit the quality of evidence was low.

Identification of youth at clinical high-risk for psychosis: A community-based study from India.

Aim: A two-stage process, wherein self-report screening precedes the structured interview, is suggested for identifying individuals at clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P) in community samples. Aim of this study was to screen a community youth sample from India for CHR-P using the two-stage method. Specific objectives were to assess concordant validity of the self-report measure and predictive validity of the two-stage method.
