Background: Electronic cognitive assessment tools present potential benefits for clinical practice; however, they warrant examination before use with clinical populations such as people with traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Objective: The primary study purpose was to compare results from a tablet-based, electronic cognitive assessment to two paper cognitive assessments when administered to adults with TBI. We also explored the effect of iPad comfort on performance.
Methods: We employed a quasi-experimental, correlational study design. Forty adults between 18 to 615 months post TBI completed the Standardized Touchscreen Assessment of Cognition (STAC), the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and the Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test (CLQT) in a systematically, counterbalanced order. We compared participants' performance on these tools and examined the effect of iPad comfort.
Results: Three STAC subtests had a good relationship with CLQT subtests: orientation, generative naming category, and generative naming first letter. A good relationship was also identified between two STAC and two MoCA subtests: orientation and generative naming first letter. People who were very comfortable using the iPad performed statistically better on the STAC first letter fluency item than participants who were not comfortable.
Conclusions: Moderate correlations suggest validity for some STAC items; however, modifications and further testing are needed.

Effects of Large Language Model-Based Offerings on the Well-Being of Students: Qualitative Study.
JMIR Form Res

Imperial College Business School, Imperial College London, London, United Kingdom.
Background: In recent years, the adoption of large language model (LLM) applications, such as ChatGPT, has seen a significant surge, particularly among students. These artificial intelligence-driven tools offer unprecedented access to information and conversational assistance, which is reshaping the way students engage with academic content and manage the learning process. Despite the growing prevalence of LLMs and reliance on these technologies, there remains a notable gap in qualitative in-depth research examining the emotional and psychological effects of LLMs on users' mental well-being.

Objective: Pharmacoresistant tremors, often seen in Parkinson disease and essential tremor, significantly impair patient quality of life. Although deep brain stimulation has been effective, its invasive nature limits its applicability. MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy offers a noninvasive alternative, but its cognitive impacts are not fully understood.

Objective: To assess the interrelationship between cortical lesions and cortical thinning and volume loss in people with multiple sclerosis within cortical networks, and how this relates to future cognition.
Methods: In this longitudinal study, 230 people with multiple sclerosis and 60 healthy controls underwent 3 Tesla MRI at baseline and neuropsychological assessment at baseline and 5-year follow-up. Cortical regions (N = 212) were divided into seven functional networks.
The Role of Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase, a Key Regulatory Endocannabinoid Enzyme, in Domain-Specific Cognitive Performance in Psychosis.

Clinical and Translational Sciences Lab, Douglas Research Centre, Montreal, Quebec H4H 1R3, Canada.
Background And Hypothesis: Cognitive impairments are particularly disabling for patients with a psychotic disorder and often persist despite optimization of antipsychotic treatment. Thus, motivating an extension of the research focus on the endocannabinoid system. The aim of this study was to evaluate group differences in brain fatty acid amid hydrolase (FAAH), an endocannabinoid enzyme between first-episode psychosis (FEP), individuals with clinical high risk (CHR) for psychosis and healthy controls (HCs).

Treatment of HIV has historically required taking daily oral antiretroviral therapy (ART). A recent alternative to daily oral ART is long-acting injectable ART with cabotegravir plus rilpivirine, administered monthly or every 2 months. The purpose of this qualitative study was to evaluate the concept relevance and interpretability of five previously developed questions: one treatment preference question and four questions designed to assess how the emotional burden associated with HIV treatment impacts treatment preferences.
