The origin of this CI is multifactorial, involving vascular and metabolic factors. Additionally, renal treatments, including dialysis, may affect cognition. This study aimed to assess the neuropsychological profiles of these patients and understand the effects of dialysis treatment.Methods: We conducted an observational retrospective study including older adults with end-stage CKD attending for kidney transplantation (KT). Comprehensive neuropsychological assessments were conducted. Composite cognitive scores were computed. Multivariate regression models were used to assess associations between cognition and dialysis status.Results: We included 223 patients (151 treated with dialysis, 72 with conservative management), mean age of 73.5 ± 3.4. We observed a high prevalence of CI, around 30% for global cognition and affecting all neuropsychological domains. Patients treated with dialysis exhibited lower cognitive performance compared to those not undergoing dialysis, particularly in episodic (p = .031) and working memory (p = .024).Conclusion: This study confirms the high prevalence of CI in end-stage CKD, with dialysis being associated with worse episodic and working memory compared to non-dialyzed participants.

As an initial step to address the resulting knowledge gap, this review aimed to synthesize the current literature reporting on cognition in females with endometriosis-associated CPP, and due to the poverty of endometriosis studies, to draw on data from female cohorts with other chronic pain conditions to gain potentially relevant insights.Methods: Three database searches were conducted (Scopus, PubMed, and PsycINFO). Eighteen studies met the inclusion criteria (n = 8 regarding endometriosis, n = 10 regarding other chronic pain conditions).Results: Six of the seven studies employing objective cognitive measures in females with other chronic pain reported significant cognitive deficits. Associated changes in neural circuitry thought to underpin these deficits align with neural patterns reported in females with endometriosis-associated CPP. While two studies reported a high prevalence (≥60%) of self-reported cognitive impairment in endometriosis-associated CPP, objective performance deficits have not been reported. Nonetheless, self-reported accounts of cognitive impairment suggest females with endometriosis-associated CPP may experience difficulties with inhibition, attention, and memory. Most studies did not control for potential moderating factors and comorbidities that prevail among endometriosis populations.Conclusion: The field is in desperate need of research assessing cognitive performance in females with endometriosis-associated CPP, to objectively determine any cognitive difficulties. Attention should be paid to likely moderators, pain-related mechanisms, and whether findings extend to endometriosis without CPP.","PeriodicalId":8176,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142998900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With technological advances allowing for increased international collaboration within the medical and research communities, challenges often arise from such partnerships, including linguistic, cultural, and physical barriers. A notable challenge for supervising neuropsychologists in international projects is the physical distance from RAs, sites, and materials, making training/supervision of RAs and monitoring test data quite challenging. In the context of a research collaboration between neuropsychologists based in New York and RAs based in Kerala, India, as part of the Kerala-Einstein Study, we explore the obstacles of remotely training RAs and maintaining neuropsychological data integrity. We share lessons learned and systems developed to optimize remote, multilingual, cross-cultural training of RAs in administration/scoring of neuropsychological tests. One-on-one video training sessions mitigated logistical problems (i.e., time differences, internet connection, language comfort). Individualized training in scoring and a centralized individual to double-score protocols addressed quality assurance of test data. Close collaboration between our teams was necessary for cultural competency, particularly when building an appropriate test battery, creating and translating manuals, and adapting protocols. Finally, frequent and ongoing communication channels ensured excellence in study design, information gathering, and data quality.

As such, the purpose of this study was twofold. First, this study evaluated teletesting equivalency of standardized reading achievement measures during COVID-19 in children ages 6-16. Further, to examine the impact of COVID-19 on reading, achievement scores were compared in two samples of children assessed before and during COVID-19.Methods: Participants were referred for testing at an outpatient neuropsychology clinic at an urban, academic medical center. Aim one compared assessments administered in-person (n = 1039) versus teletesting (n = 283). A two one-sided test (TOST) was used to determine equivalency. Aim two compared children seen pre-COVID-19 (n = 2125) and during COVID-19 (n = 1322) including a subsample of elementary school-aged children. One-way analyses of covariance were employed, with insurance type and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fifth Edition Matrix Reasoning (as a proxy for nonverbal IQ) included as covariates.Results: Results showed equivalence in reading achievement scores administered via teletesting compared to in-person during COVID-19. For aim two, Nonsense Word Decoding scores were significantly higher for the COVID-19 group compared to the pre-COVID-19 group (p = 0.03). No other significant differences in reading scores were found between groups, including no differences among a subsample of elementary school-aged children (ages 6-10; all ps > 0.05).Conclusions: This provides additional support for teletesting equivalency and suggests the negative impact of COVID-19 on foundational reading skills is less than predicted in a clinically referred sample.","PeriodicalId":8176,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142942964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a sample of PWH from the United States Deep South, we examined the relationship of cognitive IIV with cognitive impairment and social determinants of health (SDoH). This secondary analysis included 131 PWH from a larger cognitive training protocol. Our primary outcome measure was the coefficient of variation (CoV). We also included the individual standard deviation (iSD), with both calculated from demographically adjusted T-scores and unadjusted sample-based scores. Mixed-effects models investigated the relationship between IIV and cognitive impairment severity (i.e., Global Rating Score), SDoH, and clinical variables. Bivariate correlations were used to further explore these relationships. Greater cognitive IIV was associated with greater cognitive impairment in PWH, when accounting for demographic factors. When IIV is calculated from the sample, then IIV is no longer associated with cognitive impairment, but is associated with race (>IIV in Black and African American participants). Demographically adjusted IIV is associated with global cognition, Wide Range Achievement Test-Fourth Edition reading score, and viral load (iSD only). No correlations were significant when using the unadjusted sample-based IIV metrics. In PWH from the Deep South, greater cognitive variability is seen in those with greater cognitive impairment, in Black participants, and in those with lower reading scores. Further research on the psychometric properties of IIV in HIV and other populations is needed, as results varied depending on the normative adjustments.","PeriodicalId":8176,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142943199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Digit Span, Animal and Emotion Fluency, and several symptom-report scales were also administered in Romanian. Performance patterns were similar to previous findings: verbal fluency, auditory verbal learning, and picture and speeded color naming were highly sensitive to LEP. In contrast, visuomotor processing speed and mental flexibility were robust to LEP. Participants performed better when ability tests were administered in their native language; there was no difference on symptom inventories. Test performance was related to the degree of LEP, operationalized as performance on the Boston Naming Test-Short Form. Level of verbal mediation and LEP are independent predictors of cognitive performance. Administering tests in the native language may provide a more accurate measure of cognitive functioning in examinees with LEP (especially at the low end of English proficiency). Developing population-specific norms is a necessary safeguard against the multiple confounding factors in the neuropsychological assessment of individuals with LEP.","PeriodicalId":8176,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142943020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, (a) negative schizotypes showed poor identification of sadness and fear potentially due to the activation of coping mechanisms, (b) disorganized schizotypes inaccurately recognized surprise, possibly reflecting the effects of disorganized thought on distinguishing this ambiguous emotion, and (c) psychological well-being was predicted by high cognitive-perceptual along with low negative and disorganized schizotypy as well as the accurate recognition of specific emotional states that are common in daily social interactions.Conclusions: In conclusion, the study findings further advance the identification of emotion-processing difficulties in schizophrenia-vulnerable individuals and further highlight the need for highly personalized early intervention strategies.","PeriodicalId":8176,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142920682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study sought to comprehensively examine neuropsychological functioning in cognitively normal AI older adults in the southwestern USA (i.e., Arizona).Participants and methods: Ninety predominantly female participants (45 AIs and 45 non-Hispanic Whites) aged 44 years and older (mean age of mid-60s) were matched on age, decade, gender, and assessment battery. Participants were enrolled in the Arizona Alzheimer's Disease Center database. Data obtained included demographics, medical history, psychiatric variables, and raw neuropsychological scores. Analyses included ANCOVAs, chi-square, and stepwise multiple regression.Results: AIs generally had lower performance across all neuropsychological measures compared with matched Whites, even after controlling for demographic variables. Performance between groups was most discrepant on several measures of global cognition, attention, executive functioning, and language, while performance was statistically comparable on measures of memory and visuospatial abilities. The AI group had higher proportions of diabetes and obesity, but results showed that higher cardiovascular risk was not predictive of lower cognitive performance with the exception of the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale-Sum of Boxes.Conclusions: Findings suggest that older AIs perform lower on many neuropsychological measures compared with non-Hispanic Whites, even after controlling for demographic variables.
