To assess neurological manifestations and health-related quality of life (QoL) 3 months after COVID-19.In this prospective, multicenter, observational cohort study we systematically evaluated signs diseases by detailed examination a predefined test battery assessing smelling disorders (16-item Sniffin Sticks test), cognitive deficits (Montreal Cognitive Assessment), QoL (36-item Short Form), mental health (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-5) disease...
Neurological sequelae from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may persist after recovery acute infection. Here, the aim was to describe natural history of neurological manifestations over 1 year COVID-19.A prospective, multicentre, longitudinal cohort study in COVID-19 survivors performed. At a 3-month and 1-year follow-up, patients were assessed for impairments by examination standardized test battery including assessment hyposmia (16-item Sniffin' Sticks test), cognitive deficits...
Old adults have to face many situations that require important decisions. In the present investigation, authors examined effects of aging on both decisions under ambiguity and risk. To this purpose, healthy young old completed Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) Probability-Associated task (PAG task). performed PAG as well adults, demonstrating ability make when full information about problem situation, options' probabilities associated gains losses was given. Differently, showed poor performance IGT...
Abstract Despite the critical role of culture in understanding adolescent self and identity, there is a lack cross‐culturally validated measures self‐construal. The present study evaluated cross‐national measurement invariance Aspects Identity Questionnaire‐IV (AIQ‐IV), assessing four dimensions self‐construal: personal, relational, public, collective. sample included 16,795 adolescents aged 14–19 years from 30 countries across continents. four‐factor structure AIQ‐IV obtained using...
A diagnosis of definite REM sleep behavior disorder requires both a positive history for and polysomnographic demonstration without atonia. To improve facilitate screening disorder, there is need simple clinical tools with sufficient sensitivity specificity the identification subjects probable disorder. We developed short questionnaire 7 disorder- 2 non-REM disorder-specific control items performed validation study in 70 140 controls. Response patterns to all differed between patients (all P...
In two experiments with healthy subjects, we used the Game of Dice Task (GDT), Probability-Associated Gambling (PAG) task, Iowa (IGT), and executive-function logical thinking tasks to shed light on underlying processes decision making under risk. Results indicate that handling probabilities, as in PAG is an important ingredient GDT performance. Executive functions also play major roles deciding GDT. Implicit feedback learning, measured by IGT, has little impact. suggest good probability may...
To assess patient characteristics associated with health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and its mental physical subcategories 3 months after diagnosis COVID-19.
This study aimed to investigate whether patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) present difficulties in making decisions under ambiguity and risk. Performance of MCI the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) Probability-Associated Task—Revised (PAG-R) was compared performance healthy aging peers. In IGT, controls made increasingly frequent advantageous selections over time; selected randomly from disadvantageous decks, no significant change time. PAG-R, decided advantageously conditions both (low,...
<h3>Objectives:</h3> To assess the frequency of impulse control disorders (ICDs) in patients with restless legs syndrome (RLS) and without augmentation under dopaminergic therapy a case-control study. Augmentation ICDs are both serious complications treatment RLS but little is known about possible associations between these drug-induced disorders. <h3>Methods:</h3> In total, 58 idiopathic diagnosed according to International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group criteria were recruited.

Abstract Months, days of the week, and numbers differ from other verbal concepts because they are ordered in a sequence, whereas no order is imposed on members categories, such as animals or tools. Recent studies suggest that activate representation their quantity within intraparietal sulcus (IPS) automatically, is, tasks do not require processing quantity. It unclear, however, whether materials general only IPS tasks. In present functional magnetic resonance imaging study word generation...
This study was designed to assess decision making and executive functions in patients with idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD). IRBD is often seen as an early sign of later evolving neurodegenerative disease, most importantly Parkinson disease (PD) Lewy body dementia (DLB). It has been proposed that iRBD show a cognitive profile similar PD.All participants performed extensive test battery tapping well the IOWA gambling task, which measures under ambiguity.University hospital...
Narcolepsy with cataplexy (NC) affects neurotransmitter systems regulating emotions and cognitive functions. This study aimed to assess executive functions, information sampling, reward processing, decision making in NC.Twenty-one NC patients 58 healthy participants performed an extensive neuropsychological test battery.NC scored as controls function tasks assessing set shifting, reversal learning, working memory, planning. Group differences appeared a task measuring sampling sensitivity....
Abstract Purpose Reduced health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) is common after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Here, we aimed to describe the prevalence HR-QoL impairment one year SAH and identify associated factors. Methods In this prospective cohort study, was assessed in 183 patients SAH. We used Short-Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire, which consists eight health domains that can be subdivided into mental physical components. Participants responded scales on subjective attention...
