Background: Neurocognitive disorder and venous congestion are related in cardiac surgery. Femoral vein (FV) Doppler allows noninvasive assessment of venous congestion. This study aims to associate postoperative neurocognitive disorder in cardiac surgery with FV pulsatility.
Method: A secondary analysis was conducted using data from retrospective and prospective cohorts. FV Doppler and neurocognitive disorder were measured upon admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) after surgery. An index of FV pulsatility of ≥ 50% was considered abnormal. The presence of neurocognitive disorder was assessed using the Intensive Care Delirium Score Checklist (ICDSC). Descriptive statistical analyses and logistic regression were used to test the association between FV Doppler pulsatility and neurocognitive disorder.
Results: A total of 273 patients from both cohorts were analyzed, 155 (57%) patients had FV pulsatility indexes ≥ 50%. Abnormal pulsatile Doppler was associated with the presence of neurocognitive disorder compared with normal FV Doppler profile (57 vs 43%, odds ratio [OR], 1.73; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-2.81). FV pulsatility was also associated with age, higher rate of stroke, prolongation of intubation duration and a longer ICU stay.
Conclusions: FV pulsatility is associated with the presence of neurocognitive disorder and postoperative complications in cardiac surgery. The FV Doppler technique is simple and fast, offering the potential to anticipate complications related to venous congestion, such as delirium. Future multicentre studies with larger samples will be necessary to consolidate these findings.

Background: Screening for cognitive impairment in primary care is important, yet primary care physicians (PCPs) report conducting routine cognitive assessments for less than half of patients older than 60 years of age. Linus Health's Core Cognitive Evaluation (CCE), a tablet-based digital cognitive assessment, has been used for the detection of cognitive impairment, but its application in primary care is not yet studied.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the integration of CCE implementation in a primary care setting.

Kindling is an experimental-induced seizure consistent with epilepsy disease, a chronic neurological disorder characterised by spontaneous and repeated seizures. This disease is associated with oxidative stress, and most therapeutic strategies against epilepsy aim at improving the antioxidant defence mechanism in the brain. However, prolonged usage and associated adverse side effects limit antiepileptics, warranting natural antioxidant patronage.

Background: Early prediction of progression in dementia is of major importance for providing patients with adequate clinical care, with considerable impact on the organization of the whole healthcare system.
Aims: The main task is tailoring robust and consolidated machine learning models to detect which neuropsychological tests are more effective in predicting a patient's mental status. In a translational medicine perspective, such identification tool should find its place in the clinician's toolbox as a support throughout his daily diagnostic routine.

The sex-specific development of hippocampal learning in juveniles remains unclear. Using an inhibitory avoidance task, we assessed contextual learning in both sexes of juvenile rats. While sex hormone levels and activating effects are low in juveniles, females showed superior performance to males, suggesting that females have a shorter period of infantile amnesia than males.

Ageing is a major risk factor for cognitive and physical decline, but its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to detect early cognitive and physical changes, and to analyze the pathway involved by monitoring two groups of mice: a young and an adult group. The study has identified the types of molecules involved in the hippocampus.
