Abstract Moderate declines in prospective memory (PM) are common among older adults, but whether such decrements associated with everyday functioning problems is not well established. To examine this issue, we administered the Memory for Intentions Screening Test (MIST), Prospective and Retrospective Questionnaire (PRMQ), Activities of Daily Living (ADLQ) to 50 healthy Australian adults as part a broader neuropsychological battery. In series hierarchical regressions controlling demographics,...
The Veterans Aging Cohort Study (VACS) Index is predictive of mortality and combines age, traditional HIV biomarkers (HIV-1 plasma RNA current CD4 count), non-HIV (indicators renal liver function, anemia, hepatitis C coinfection). We examined the association between VACS HIV-associated neurocognitive impairment (NCI).Participants included 601 HIV-infected adults enrolled in cohort studies at University California, San Diego, Neurobehavioral Research Program (ages: 18-76 years; 88% male; 63%...
We examined neurocognitive functioning among persons with acute or early HIV infection (AEH) and hypothesized that the performance of AEH individuals would be intermediate between seronegatives (HIV−) those chronic infection. Comprehensive testing was accomplished 39 AEH, 63 chronically infected, 38 HIV− participants. All participants were infected for less than 1 year. Average domain deficit scores calculated in seven domains. HIV−, groups ranked from best (rank 1) to worst 3) each domain....
The California-Mexico border region is a high-volume trauma area with populations of widely disparate socioeconomic status. This work analyzed differences in demographics and mechanism injury children using the Area Deprivation Index (ADI), composite measure 17 markers neighborhood disadvantage.A retrospective review was performed pediatric patients evaluated at regional Level I Pediatric Trauma Center between 2008 2018. Collected data included patient characteristics. Patient addresses were...
The delay interval between encoding a future intention and detection of the retrieval cue is an essential feature prospective memory (PM). McDaniel Einstein's (2000 McDaniel, M. A. Einstein, G. O. 2000. Strategic automatic processes in remembering: A multiprocess framework. Applied Cognitive Psychology, 14: S127–S144. [Crossref], [Web Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) theory posits that greater demands are placed on strategic monitoring as lengthens. This hypothesis was examined HIV-associated...
Background Social isolation is associated with an increased risk for mental and physical health problems, especially among older persons living HIV (PLWH). Thus, there a need to better understand real-time temporal associations between social activity mood- health-related factors in this population inform possible future interventions. Objective This study aims examine relationships mood, fatigue, pain sample of PLWH. Methods A total 20 PLWH, recruited from the University California, San...
BACKGROUND Emergency department thoracotomy (EDT) for pediatric patients is uncommon, and practice patterns have not been evaluated. We examined the indications outcomes EDT by trauma center designation using a nationwide database. METHODS Patients 16 years or younger who underwent within 30 minutes of arrival from 2013 to 2016 were identified in American College Surgeons National Trauma Data Bank. Patient demographic information, EDT, analyzed. Outcomes compared between centers with without...
Assessing medication adherence in already difficult-to-treat HIV-infected subpopulations presents a unique challenge. The objective of this study was to compare different approaches assessing adherence: (1) electronic monitoring, (2) standardized self-report questionnaire, and (3) visual analogue scale, determine whether antiretroviral therapy (ART) measures differed for persons with bipolar disorder (HIV+ /BD+) as compared without /BD-). ART assessed 74 HIV-positive participants using the...
The feasibility, use, and acceptability of text messages to track methamphetamine use promote antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence among HIV-infected users was examined. From an ongoing randomized controlled trial, 30-day response rates participants assigned the intervention (individualized texting for building (iTAB), n = 20) were compared those in active comparison condition (n 9). Both groups received daily texts assessing iTAB group additionally personalized ART reminder texts....
Approximately one-third of persons infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) evidence mild cognitive impairment that is consistent frontostriatal systems dysfunction, including dyscontrol, and impacts everyday functioning. The present study examined effects HCV on neurocognitive dispersion, or within-person variability in performance across domains, which may be a function poor sustained control. High dispersion was also hypothesized to increase risk for unemployment. sample included 37...
Objective: To compare temporal order memory in older adults with and without human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Background: The frontal lobes play a key role for items sequence. HIV-associated episodic deficits correlate damage to neocortical interneurons the fronto-striato-thalamo-cortical pathway atypical activation of medial lobes. Therefore, may be sensitive neuropathological changes individuals HIV. Methods: In this study, 50 HIV-seropositive aged ≥50 years seronegative...
The purpose of this study was to identify clinical and traffic factors that influence pediatric pedestrian versus automobile collisions (P-ACs) with an emphasis on health care disparities.A retrospective review performed (18 years or younger) P-ACs treated at a Level I trauma center from 2008 2018. Demographic, clinical, scene data were analyzed. Area deprivation index (ADI) used measure neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage (NSD) based home addresses. Traffic the California Statewide...
OBJECTIVE Trauma centers function as an essential safeguard in the United States health care system. However, there has been minimal study of their financial or vulnerability. We sought to perform a nationwide analysis trauma using detailed data and recently developed Financial Vulnerability Score (FVS) metric. METHODS The RAND Hospital Database was used evaluate all American College Surgeons–verified nationwide. composite FVS calculated for each center six metrics. tertiles were classify...
<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Introduction</h3> There is a paucity of data to describe how neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage (NSD) correlates with childhood injuries and outcomes. This study assesses the relationship NSD bicycle safety trauma outcomes among pediatric <i>versus</i> automobile injuries. <h3>Methods</h3> Between 2008 2018, patients ≤18 y old from Level I center were evaluated. Area Deprivation Index (ADI) was used measure NSD. Patient demographics, injury, clinical...
