Background: ADHD affects 8% of children and adolescents globally, marked by significant deficits in cognitive abilities, which leads to various emotional, behavioral, and adjustment issues. Traditional methods like medication and behavior therapy fall short in managing ADHD's cognitive domains, urging the adoption of innovative approaches like cognitive training programs specifically adopting the emerging technology such as ReadON.ai. However, the precise influence of computerized cognitive retraining on ADHD remains understudied.
Aim: To study the feasibility of computerized cognitive retraining (ReadON.ai) in enhancing cognitive abilities in children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
Materials And Methods: The study employs a pre- and post-intervention design including six participants (7-11 years), diagnosed with ADHD according to DSM-5 criteria. Each participant underwent 30 hours of computerized cognitive retraining (ReadON.ai) over ten weeks, targeting attention and concentration, working memory, memory and learning, perceptual abilities, and reasoning skills. Assessments before and after intervention included tools like Conners' 4 Parent version and ReadON.ai CSA. Statistical analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS version 28.
Results: Paired -test results revealed a significant difference in pre-test and post-test means of attention and concentration (t = -6.873, < 0.001), working memory (t = -5.771, < 0.001), learning and memory (t = -12.491, < 0.001), perception (t = 14.398, < 0.004), reasoning (t = -3.464, < 0.018), hyperactivity (t = 11.073, < 0.001), impulsivity (t = 11.948, < 0.001), emotional dysregulation (t = 8.242, < 0.001), anxious thoughts (t = 2.67 = 0.219), depressed mood (t = 2.924, = 0.020), school work (t = 7.387, = 0.001) and peer interaction (t = 4.632, = 0.006) with medium to large effect size.
Conclusion: Computerized cognitive retraining through ReadON.ai is feasible in enhancing cognitive abilities like attention and concentration, working memory, memory and learning, perception, and reasoning among children with ADHD.

Introduction: Post-stroke cognitive impairment is associated with impaired quality of life. Remote testing provides a potential avenue to measure cognitive outcomes efficiently.
Patients And Methods: Prospective cognitive outcomes were collected at 90-180 days using both telephone MoCA (T-MoCA; range 0-22; <17 impairment) and Creyos, a computerized cognitive battery.

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant tumor threatening women's health globally, with rising incidence rates and significant psychological impacts, particularly in China, where the prevalence of depressive and anxious mood disorders among BC patients is notably higher than the global average. To evaluate the effect of mindfulness therapy on anxiety and depressive symptoms in breast cancer patients, as psychological distress significantly affects their quality of life and often persists despite medical treatment.
Methods: A computerized search of Web of Science, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane Library, and Embase databases was conducted for randomized controlled trials involving the effects of positive thinking interventions on anxiety and depressive symptoms in breast cancer patients.

Few normative data for unsupervised, remotely-administered computerized cognitive measures are available. We examined variables to include in normative models for Mayo Test Drive (MTD, a multi-device remote cognitive assessment platform) measures, developed normative data, and validated the norms. 1240 Cognitively Unimpaired (CU) adults ages 32-100 years (96% White) from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging and Mayo Alzheimer's Disease Research Center with Clinical Dementia Rating of 0 were included.

Background: Obesity is associated with cognitive impairment. Metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS) improves cognitive functioning and weight loss is not a primary mechanism. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) may play an important role in cognitive outcomes following MBS, though few studies have examined this possibility.

Auditory alarm deafness is a failure to notice a salient auditory signal in a high-load context, which is one of the major causes of flight accidents. Therefore, it is of great practical significance for aviation safety to explore ways to avoid auditory alarm deafness under a high-load scenario. One potential reason for its occurrence could be the fact that cognitive resources are limited.
