The current study analyzed the relationship between perceived stress, depressive symptoms and self-esteem in elderly with and without subjective memory complain. Two-hundred four elderly were included (104 without and 100 with subjective memory complain) assesse using the Memory Assessment Complain Questionnaire (MAC-Q). The study protocol was composed by the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) and the Self-Esteem Scale of Rosenberg (SES). The elderly with subjective memory complain showed higher PSS and GDS scores (p < 0.001) and lower SES scores (p = 0.045). Negative correlation was observed between MAC-Q and PSS (p < 0.001) and GDS (p = 0.01). Multiple regression analysis showed predictor effect of perceived stress in the subjective memory complain. These findings suggest that the perceived stress and depressive symptoms are associated with subjective memory complain in elderly.

A preliminary clinical study related to vestibular migraine and cognitive dysfunction.

Background And Purpose: Vestibular migraine (VM) is a common clinical disorder with a genetic predisposition characterized by recurrent episodes of dizziness/vertigo. Patients often complain of the presence of cognitive dysfunction manifestations such as memory loss, which causes great distress in daily life. In this study, we will explore the characteristics and possible risk factors of VM-related cognitive dysfunction by observing the cognitive function and vestibular function status of VM patients, laying the foundation for further exploration of the mechanisms of VM-related cognitive dysfunction.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates Accelerated Long-term Forgetting (ALF), highlighting that traditional memory tests often miss this phenomenon by only assessing retention shortly after learning.
- Experiment 1 involved healthy participants to develop a longer-term memory procedure that successfully captured long-term forgetting patterns, revealing a link between perceived memory function and actual performance.
- In Experiment 2, patients with severe Acquired Brain Injury demonstrated decreased memory retention over longer intervals compared to healthy participants, underscoring the necessity for extended memory assessments in clinical settings.
Anterograde amnesia recurrence in temporal lobe epilepsy with amygdala-enlargement.

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) can cause different types of memory impairments. Here, we report a case of immediate improvement of memory impairment following antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment in a patient with TLE with amygdala enlargement (TLE-AE), who rapidly developed recurrence. The patient was a man in his 60s whose family members complained of his amnesia.

Cochlear implant (CI) users often complain about music appreciation and speech recognition in background noise, which depend on segregating sound sources into perceptual streams. The present study examined relationships between frequency and fundamental frequency (F0) discrimination with stream segregation of tonal and speech streams for CI users and peers with no known hearing loss. Frequency and F0 discrimination were measured for 1,000 Hz pure tones and 110 Hz complex tones, respectively.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between post-COVID neurocognitive symptoms and interleukin-6 levels.
Methods: This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study wherein patients complaining of forgetfulness post-infection with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) were taken up for study ( 53) from February 2023 to June 2023. The forgetfulness was characterized using the memory subscale of Postgraduate Institute-Battery of Brain Dysfunction (PGI-BBD).
