Our main goal in these experiments was to examine whether affective valence plays a role in judgments of control (JoC) in intentional action. To test this, we asked participants to completevariationsofasimple aiming task in which words appeared in place of clicked targets. The affective content of the words was manipulated during the experiments but was not contingent on participants' performance. Throughout the task, participants were periodically asked to judge their JoC.Thus, JoC judgments in this task included contributions of a well-established cue to judgments of control, task performance, and a source of affect that was not related to task performance. We found thatmetacognitions of controlvaried consistentlyacross levels of affect, with stronger judgments of being in control for conditions with positive outcome words (e.g., 'puppy') and the weaker judgments of being in control for conditions with negative outcome words (e.g.,'killer').These results suggestaffective outcomes can influence JoC, even though the outcomes are not related to performance.

Background: Continuous speech analysis is considered as an efficient and convenient approach for early detection of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). However, the traditional approach generally requires human transcribers to transcribe audio data accurately. This study applied automatic speech recognition (ASR) in conjunction with natural language processing (NLP) techniques to automatically extract linguistic features from Chinese speech data.

Background: Transcultural adaptations of brief cognitive screening tools (BCTs) involve the development of alternate versions that are psychometrically equivalent to the original, while being linguistically and culturally adapted to a new sociodemographic context. The RUDAS (Rowland Universal Dementia Assessment Scale) is less affected by culture, language, and education compared with other BCTs. However, several studies have reported an effect of education on RUDAS scores.

However, the role of seizure and TBI on cognitive impairment risk (CI) is unclear. This study investigated how a diagnosis of seizures and TBI was associated with the progression to CI and assessed the role of medications.

Background: Impulse control disorders (ICD) are common side effects of dopaminergic treatment in Parkinson's disease (PD). Whereas some studies show a reduction in ICD after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS), others report worsening of ICD or impulsivity.
Objective: The aim was to study ICD in the context of STN-DBS using an objective measure of decision-making.

Background: The management of thromboembolic risk and the necessity for timely hemorrhage control make anticoagulant-related gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding clinically challenging.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes (such as bleeding control and mortality) and the effectiveness of anticoagulation reversal techniques in patients with anticoagulant-related GI bleeding in emergency settings.
Methodology: This prospective, observational study conducted at Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, from January to December 2023, included patients aged 18 or older with GI bleeding on warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
