AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Background: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is associated with neuropsychological deficits including executive and attentional impairments. The cognitive remediation therapy is a new promising technique designed to improve the neurocognitive abilities damaged in ADHD.
Aim: Adapt and apply the cognitive remediation program CRT (Cognitive Remediation Therapy) for children and adolescents with ADHD and to evaluate its effectiveness on attentional and executive abilities.
Methods: Children and adolescents with ADHD, diagnosed using the K-SADS-PL questionnaire was involved in the study. The CRT program was administered for an average period of fourteen weeks with a rate of one session per week of 40 minutes each. The Attentional Network Test was administered prior to the intervention and one week after.
Results: Of the 30 patients included, 14 had reached the end of the program. Among them, nine patients passed the attentional test post CRT, thus constituting our final sample. Their average age was 9 years. The mean number of sessions performed was 14.5. Post CRT, the mean of patient's response time was found to be shorter (p=0,004) and the frequency of omissions errors was also lesser than that found at the initial assessment. Patients also committed fewer errors in incongruent situations in post program, with a significant improvement of the conflict effect (p= 0.009) signing a better executive control.
Conclusions: Cognitive remediation is a promising new modality in the treatment of ADHD. Further research is needed to better document its effects and the optimal conditions required for setting it up.

Background: Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), has emerged as a promising alternative in the precise treatment of clinical symptoms, such as the cognitive impairment of bipolar disorder (BD). Optimizing the neurocognitive effects by combining tDCS and rTMS to strengthen the clinical outcome is a challenging research issue.
Objective: In this randomized, controlled trial, we first combined tDCS and neuronavigated rTMS targeting the V1 region to explore the efficacy on neurocognitive function in BD patients with depressive episodes.

Background: The comparative benefits and harms of available interventions for ADHD in adults remain unclear. We aimed to address these important knowledge gaps.
Methods: In this systematic review and component network meta-analysis (NMA), we searched multiple databases for published and unpublished randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for ADHD in adults from database inception to Sept 6, 2023.

Background: Efficacy data on nonpharmacotherapy-based interventions such as cognitive retraining and mindfulness meditation on improving neuropsychological functioning in early Alzheimer's disease (AD) are sparse in Indian literature.
Objective: The objective of the study was to quantify the effect of cognitive retraining (CR) versus mindfulness training (MT) on neuropsychological test performance in patients with early AD.
Methods And Materials: We administered CR and MT strategies in two prospectively enrolled groups of individuals (N = 34) who met the criteria for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD.
Background: Graduates who fail the National Council Licensing Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) require evidence-informed educational support.
Method: This educational development study tested an online program created by a nurse educator and researcher for Canadian-educated nursing students ( = 19) who were taking the NCLEX-RN for the second time. Data collected were biweekly virtual meetings with detailed field notes, program completion data, and self-reported NCLEX-RN results.
