The Cognitive Footprint of Medication Use.

Brain Behav

UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, University College London, London, UK.

Published: January 2025

Introduction: The cognitive side-effects of medication are common, but often overlooked in practice, and not routinely considered in interventional trials or post-market surveillance. The cognitive footprint of a medication seeks to quantify the impact of its cognitive effects based on magnitude, duration, and interaction with other factors, evaluated across the exposed population.

Methods: Bayesian multivariable regression analysis of retrospective population-based cross-sectional cohorts.

Results: We replicate positive and negative cognitive effects of commonly used medications in UK Biobank, and extend observed associations to two additional cohorts, the EPIC Norfolk, and the Caerphilly Prospective Cohort. We quantify the resultant cumulative impact at the population level given known patterns of prescribing and compare it with exemplar common diseases.

Conclusion: The cognitive side-effects of commonly used drugs may have significant impact at the population level. Consideration should be given to a routine structured assessment of cognition in interventional trials and post-market surveillance.

Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) notably exhibit impairments in posture and visual attention. The objective of the present study was to determine whether PD patients were able to exhibit adaptive postural control in a goal-directed visual task. We hypothesized that the patients would reduce their centre of pressure (COP) movement and/or postural sway to a lesser extent than age-matched controls in the goal-directed visual (search) task, compared with the control free-viewing task (i.

Background: Revealing motivations in food choice and investigating the potential role of sustainable healthy eating behavior, ecological footprint awareness and food security in food choice are important points for a sustainable life. This study was conducted with 5285 adults aged 19-65 residing in Turkey to investigate their food choice motivations in terms of sustainable and healthy eating behavior, ecological footprint awareness, and the food insecurity perspective.

Methods: In this context, the Food Choice Questionnaire, the Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors Scale, the Awareness Scale for Reducing Ecological Footprint and the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale were used.

Background: Synthetic augmentation in the form of an internal brace is increasingly used to stabilize injured knee ligaments. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of patients with knee dislocations treated with a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) internal brace.

Methods: Synthetic suture tape drilled into the femoral and tibial PCL footprints was performed in patients with multiple knee ligament injuries.

Androstenedione (AD) is an important intermediate for the production of steroidal drugs. The process of transforming phytosterols into AD by is mainly the degradation process of the phytosterol side chain, and the excessive accumulation of propionyl-CoA produced by will produce toxic effects, which seriously restricts the transformation performance of strains. In this study, sp.
