Redefining Cognitive Domains in the Era of ChatGPT: A Comprehensive Analysis of Artificial Intelligence's Influence and Future Implications.

Background And Objectives: Despite its extensive utilization, research on Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer (ChatGPT)'s potential negative impact on specific cognitive processes is scarce. This article explores the widespread use of ChatGPT in educational, corporate, and various other sectors, focusing on its interaction with distinct cognitive domains such as attention, executive function, language, memory, visuospatial abilities, and social cognition.

Methods: A literature review was conducted using PubMed, identifying 256 articles, with 29 peer-reviewed articles analyzed after screening for relevance.

Beyond Belief and Practice: An Exploratory Literature Review and Discussion of the Differential Impact of Spirituality and Religiosity on Mental Health Disorders.

The relationship between spirituality and religiosity and their impact on mental health is intricate and underexplored. This exploratory review aims to elucidate the distinct effects of these constructs, highlighting their contributions to psychological well-being and clinical practices. By dissecting the impacts of spirituality and religiosity on mental health, the study focuses on their individual and combined roles in shaping therapeutic approaches and theoretical understandings in the field.

Expanding the Spectrum of Diabetic Striatopathy: Insights from a Case of Hyperglycemia-Induced Propriospinal Myoclonus.

This video abstract delves into the expanded definition of diabetic striatopathy, linked initially to hyperglycemia-induced choreoballism and striatal hyperintensity on magnetic resonance imaging, but now recognized to encompass a broader range of acute onset, non-choreoballistic movement disorders in diabetes mellitus, including tremors, hemifacial spasm, parkinsonism, different types of myoclonus, dystonia, restless leg syndrome, ataxia, and dyskinesias. We report the case of a 45-year-old female patient with type-2 diabetes mellitus who developed propriospinal myoclonus, characterized by painless, involuntary jerky movements of the bilateral lower limbs in a supine position after admission for suspected rhino-orbital mucormycosis. The abnormal movements resolved entirely following the control of her blood glucose levels, suggesting a direct correlation between hyperglycemia and the clinical picture.

Psychosocial Basis of Human Sufferings and Poverty in Patients with Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders.

Neurological disorders and psychiatric ailments often lead to cognitive disabilities and low attainment of education, pivoting misconceptions, myths, and misbeliefs. Poverty and low educational attainment are intriguingly associated with poor awareness and perception of these diseases that add to the suffering. Poverty goes parallel with a low level of education and is intricately associated with neuropsychiatric ailments, which have the potential to spread transgenerationally.

The Effects of SARS-CoV-2 Infection on the Cognitive Functioning of Patients with Pre-Existing Dementia.

Background: Cognitive postscripts of COVID-19, codenamed as 'cognitive COVID' or 'brain fog,' characterized by multidomain cognitive impairments, are now being reckoned as the most devastating sequelae of COVID-19. However, the impact on the already demented brain has not been studied.

Objective: We aimed to assess the cognitive functioning and neuroimaging following SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with pre-existing dementia.

Transcortical sensory aphasia heralding SARS-Cov-2-induced autoimmune encephalitis with gyral restricted diffusion hyperintensities: a novel case report.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (CoVID-19), primarily thought of as a respiratory system disease is actually a multi-system disease with immunological implications. CNS involvement in COVID has been explained in recent literature mainly for stroke, encephalopathy, encephalitis, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and myelopathy. There are few studies characterizing clinical spectrum of COVID autoimmune encephalitis.

Profile of precipitating factors and its implication in 160 Indian patients with Moyamoya angiopathy.

Introduction: Moyamoya angiopathy (MMA) has been known to manifest with myriad of neurological manifestations, often in association with various precipitating factors. This is the first study to systematically analyze the precipitating triggers to neurological symptoms done on the largest cohort of MMA in India.

Methods: A single-centered, cross-sectional observational study, recruiting 160 patients with consecutive angiographically proven MMA over a period of 5 years (2016-2021), was undertaken to evaluate the profile of immediate precipitating factors in temporal association to the neurological symptoms, along with their clinical and radiological characteristics.

Thalassemia and Moyamoya Syndrome: Epidemiology and long-term outcome.

Objectives: Moyamoya Angiopathy (MMA) is a chronic, progressive intracranial vasculopathy. Unlike Sickle-cell-disease, thalassemia-syndrome has rarely been described in association with MMA. This study was aimed to analyze the demographic, clinical, radiological features and long-term outcome (and possible factors influencing prognosis) of Moyamoya Syndrome (MMS) in the largest cohort of thalassemia-related-to-MMS.

Magnetic resonance imaging-negative myeloneuropathy and bilateral facial paresis unfurling systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disorder that can affect all the neuroaxes in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Myelopathy in systemic lupus erythematosus is one of the least common neuropsychiatric syndromes accounting for 1%-2% of cases. Myelopathy has long been diagnosed based on clinical findings, laboratory tests, and gold-standard gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Case Report: Dystonic Storm Following Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection.

Dystonic storm (also called status dystonicus) is a neurological emergency characterized by sustained/intermittent involuntary generalized muscle contractions resulting in repetitive painful twisting movements and abnormal postures. It is commonly documented in patients with diagnosed primary dystonic syndromes or secondary dystonic states (i.e.

Rare neurological and neuropsychiatric manifestations of scrub typhus: a case series of 10 cases.

Introduction: Scrub typhus is a potentially life-threatening but curable disease that can produce multi-organ failure. Neurological manifestations in scrub typhus have gained attention recently, where the entire neural axis except the myoneural junction can be involved. Although the pathogenesis of neurological involvement has not been established, immune-mediated mechanisms are suspected.

Seropositive Neuromyelitis Optica in a Case of Undiagnosed Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Neuro-Rheumatological Conundrum.

Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an autoimmune astrocytopathy against foot processes of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels. Patients with NMOSD tend to have other coexisting autoimmune/connective tissue diseases. However, AQP-4-antibody-positive NMOSD coexisting with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is rare.
