Article Synopsis
- This study explored whether high cut-scores on the Barkley Adult ADHD Rating Scale-Fourth Edition (BAARS-IV) can indicate when adults might be overreporting ADHD symptoms during evaluations.
- Researchers analyzed data from 162 adults, dividing them into valid and invalid groups based on their symptom validity tests, and found that certain cut-scores effectively distinguished between these groups.
- The study suggests using specific cut-scores from the Current Total and Current Sluggish Cognitive Tempo scales together to better identify symptom overreporting, recommending that scores above these thresholds should lead to further examination of the patient's claims.
Background And Objectives: Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare noninflammatory disorder involving progressive intracranial vasculopathy and impaired cerebral blood flow in the anterior circulation, resulting in stroke and cognitive impairment. We aimed to characterize cognitive impairment and the possible predictive value of sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of adults with MMD.
Methods: This cross-sectional study examined neurocognitive performance in a group of 42 consecutive adult patients (mean age = 40.
Background: Evidence suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) predict cognitive dysfunction, possibly through direct (e.g., brain structure/function changes) and indirect (e.

Method: Retrospective analyses of data from 164 outpatient neuropsychological evaluations examined associations between CDS subfactors and self-reported psychological symptoms and cognitive performance.
Results: Factor analysis produced two distinct but positively correlated constructs: "Cognitive Complaints'' and "Lethargy.
This study examined the utility of dichotomous versus dimensional scores across two measures of social determinants of health (SDOH) regarding their associations with cognitive performance and psychiatric symptoms in a mixed clinical sample of 215 adults referred for neuropsychological evaluation ( = 43.91, 53.5% male, 44.
