Article Abstract

Cognitive function was assessed in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia in the chronic phase (CML-CP) receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Cross-sectional assessments of 100 newly diagnosed patients and 584 patients receiving TKI therapy for >1 year showed that 31 (31.0%) and 191 (32.7%) patients had mild cognitive impairment, respectively. In the multivariable analyses, higher percentages of blood blasts were associated with a worse MoCA score at diagnosis [ = -0.29, 95% confidence interval (-0.54, -0.03),  = .027]; deeper molecular response [versus < major molecular response,  = 0.74 (0.07, 1.40),  = .029], better MoCA score on TKI therapy. Increased MoCA scores were observed after 12 months of TKI therapy in 42 patients who were regularly followed up ( = .005). Lower tumor burden is associated with better cognitive function in CML-CP patients both at diagnosis and during TKI therapy.

Background: Limited evidence exists regarding the cognitive and physical improvement effects of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) intake in patients with stroke. This study aimed to investigate the association between MCT-enhanced rice consumption and enhancements in outcomes, including cognitive level, in patients following stroke.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on adults admitted to a rehabilitation center with cognitive decline following acute stroke.

From semantic knowledge to semantic features: French semantic feature production norms for 360 concepts.

Behav Res Methods

This article presents a new set of semantic feature production norms, collected from 580 young adults, for 360 French concepts across various semantic categories. Although empirically derived feature norms have been developed for several languages and have been shown to be useful for investigating semantic memory and providing assessment tools, none are currently available for native French-speaking populations. In this study, the participants performed a property generation task in which they were asked to list features to describe the characteristics of each given concept (e.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is characterized by pathological motivation to consume alcohol and cognitive inflexibility, leading to excessive alcohol seeking and use. In this study, we investigated the molecular correlates of impaired extinction of alcohol seeking during forced abstinence using a mouse model of AUD in the automated IntelliCage social system. This model distinguished AUD-prone and AUD-resistant animals based on the presence of ≥2 or <2 criteria of AUD, respectively.

Dysregulated spine morphology is a common feature in the pathology of many neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders. Overabundant immature dendritic spines in the hippocampus are causally related to cognitive deficits of Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common form of heritable intellectual disability. Recent findings from us and others indicate autophagy plays important roles in synaptic stability and morphology, and autophagy is downregulated in FXS neurons.
