Utility of teleneuropsychology services among pediatric patients with long COVID.

To determine the clinical utility of teleneuropsychology (teleNP) services in screening for cognitive concerns in a population of children and adolescents presenting with long COVID. This cross-sectional study evaluated 76 pediatric patients (64% female, = 13.48,  = 2.

Neuropsychological functioning of pediatric patients with long COVID.

: To determine the neurocognitive profile for youth with long COVID presenting with cognitive concerns. : This study is a case series of 54 pediatric patients (65% female, = 13.48, = 3.

[Formula: see text] Cognitive disengagement syndrome in pediatric patients with long COVID: associations with mood, anxiety, and functional impairment.

Children with long COVID often report symptoms that overlap with cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS, previously sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT)), a set of behaviors distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) including excessive daydreaming, mental fogginess, and slowed behavior and thinking. Those with long COVID also frequently report low mood and anxiety, which are linked to CDS. The relationships between cognitive difficulties, mood, and functional impairment have yet to be explored in pediatric long COVID.

Neurocognitive correlates of persisting concussion symptoms in youth.

Many patients that experience a concussion have impairing symptoms that persist beyond typical recovery timeframes. Concussion symptoms often remit within a month, but persisting impairments are difficult to characterize and attribute to concussion given the poorly defined diagnostic criteria of post-concussion syndrome and inadequate understanding of the cognitive symptoms associated with this condition. The current study aims to clarify the cognitive profiles of school-aged concussion patients ( = 21;  = 36; 64% male) that have persisting symptoms to improve the clinical identification methods for this condition.

Greater mechanical temporal summation of pain in Latinx-Americans and the role of adverse life experiences.

Introduction: Adverse life experiences disproportionately impact Latinx-Americans and are related to greater chronic pain rates. However, little is known about how adversities interact with central pain mechanisms for the development of later pain among Latinx-Americans.

Objectives: The current study examined the relationship between adverse life experiences (eg, trauma and ethnic discrimination) and correlates (eg, social status) with mechanical temporal summation of pain (a proxy measure of central sensitization) between pain-free U.

QEEG coherence patterns related to mathematics ability in children.

The current study investigates the utility of resting-state EEG coherence values in predicting standardized math scores in children. Quantitative EEG and standardized academic achievement analyses were performed on 60 school-aged children. Analyses assessing intrahemispheric coherence at rest were conducted across the sample of participants and several coherence networks were extracted and compared to standardized math achievement values.
