AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on word recall and recognition in 52 patients who experienced a unilateral right hemisphere stroke.
- Patients scored an average of 30.31 on the California Verbal Learning Test, indicating below-average performance compared to the normal population mean of 50.
- The findings suggest these patients have difficulties with encoding and show a reduced rate of learning, leading to inconsistent recall during different trials.
Article Abstract
Method: This study examines group and individual performance on word list recall and recognition in 52 patients with unilateral right hemisphere stroke.
Results: On the California Verbal Learning Test, List A, Trials 1-5, patients achieved a mean score of 30.31 (SD = 13.94), which is below the mean standard score of 50 (SD = 10) in a normal population. Patients demonstrated below-average performance on other immediate and delayed recall trials and on free- and cued-recall tasks. 67% of patients showed improved performance across learning trials.
Conclusion: Results provide support for encoding deficits with reduced rate of learning and inconsistent recall across trials.

Association of depression dimensions with cognitive functioning in community-dwelling oldest old adults: The LifeAfter90 study.
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci

Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein Alzheimer's Research Center, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.
Objectives: The oldest old adults (90+) constitute the fastest growing demographic at highest dementia risk among older adults. Depression, a common risk factor, inherently presents with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Here, we explored the associations of the predominant depression dimensions with cognition in the LifeAfter90 study.

Introduction: We compared the relationship between offspring education and cognitive health outcomes among Hispanic and White adults.
Methods: We used data from Hispanic and White (1998-2018) United States (US) Health and Retirement Study (HRS) participants (n = 17,484). We assessed cognitive function and decline using episodic memory scores in linear mixed models and incident cognitive impairment with no dementia (CIND) or probable dementia using the Langa-Weir 27-point-scale in Cox proportional hazards models.

Peripheral inflammatory markers (PIMs), such as C-reactive protein (CRP) or white blood cell count (WBC), have been associated with depression severity in meta-analyses and large cohort studies. However, in typically-sized psychoimmunology studies (N < 200) that explore associations between PIMs and neurobiological/psychosocial constructs related to depression and studies that examine less-studied PIMs (e.g.

Background: The resurgence of Anopheles funestus, a dominant vector of human malaria in western Kenya was partly attributed to insecticide resistance. However, evidence on the molecular basis of pyrethroid resistance in western Kenya is limited. Here, we reported metabolic resistance mechanisms and demonstrated that multiple non-coding Ribonucleic Acids (ncRNAs) could play a potential role in An.

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) presents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disability, developmental delay, seizures, hypotonia during infancy, joint laxity, behavioral issues, and characteristic facial features. The predominant mechanism is due to CGG trinucleotide repeat expansion of more than 200 repeats in the 5'UTR (untranslated region) of (Fragile X Messenger Ribonucleoprotein 1) causing promoter methylation and transcriptional silencing. However, not all patients presenting with the characteristic phenotype and point/frameshift mutations with deletions in have been described in the literature.
