Objective: To test functional improvement after a group cognitive-functional occupational therapy intervention for preschoolers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Method: Seventeen preschooler-parent dyads attended 11 weekly group sessions focused on acquiring executive strategies through occupational performance. Functional improvement was measured using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) and Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS); executive function, using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Pediatric; ADHD symptomatology, using Conners' Parent Rating Scale-Revised and Conners' Teacher Rating Scale-Revised; and social functioning, using the Social Participation scale of the Sensory Processing Measure.
Results: Significant improvement was found on the COPM and GAS measures, whereas mixed results were found on the other measures, with improvements found in children whose scores indicated impairment at baseline.
Conclusions: Cognitive-functional group intervention appears to significantly improve daily functioning, executive function, and social functioning for children who demonstrate clinical impairment. Further research with a larger sample, a control group, and follow-up is required.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous disease with different clinical phenotypes and pathophysiological subtypes. Identifying cognitive/functional subtypes in AD could elucidate the diverse clinical progression patterns. The Cognitive Function Index (CFI), a 15-item questionnaire completed by participants and study partners, captures aspects of cognitive and functional decline.

Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from 98 patients at Kyoto Katsura Hospital, discovering that age, cognitive function upon admission, and high residual urine levels were key factors influencing whether patients needed their catheters reinserted.
- * Results showed that nearly half of the patients could urinate independently by discharge, with overall improvements in motor and functional scores, but cognitive scores did not significantly change.

Introduction: Dementia is one of the leading causes of disability among older people aged 60 years and above, with majority eventually being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Pharmacological agents approved for dementia include acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) inhibitors like rivastigmine, donepezil and galantamine and the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist memantine, prescribed as monotherapy or in combination with each other, depending on the severity of disease. There is currently no available study demonstrating the clinical response to these drugs for AD in the Filipino population.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the total macular thickness as well as the thickness of the inner and outer retinal layers in patients with Parkinson's disease. It also aimed to verify the correlation of these parameters with motor symptoms and cognitive function.
Methods: A total of 46 eyes of 23 patients with Parkinson's disease and 40 eyes of 20 healthy controls were included in the study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Cognitive functional therapy (CFT) on plantar pressure distribution symmetry in chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP) patients.
Method: forty females with NSCLBP (age range 30-50 years) were recruited for clinical trials. They were randomly divided into experimental and control groups (Each group had 20 patients).
