Article Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of computer-assisted cognitive training (CACT) on cognitive function and activities of daily living in patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment. Additionally, it aimed to explore the changes in specific cognitive domains before and after treatment.
Design: The study was a double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.
Setting: It took place in rehabilitation wards or outpatient clinics.
Participants: Sixty patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment took part in the study.
Interventions: Participants were randomly assigned to either the control ( = 30) or the intervention group ( = 30). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation and cognitive training, and the intervention group additionally received CACT.
Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome measures included the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and event-related potential (ERP) P300 for cognitive function, as well as the modified Barthel Index (MBI) for activities of daily living. Secondary outcomes were the Trail Making Test (TMT), the Symbol-Digit Modalities Test (SDMT), the Auditory Verb Learning Test-Huashan version (AVLT-H), the Boston Naming Test (BNT), and the Clock Drawing Test (CDT), which assessed cognitive function across specific domains.
Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in MMSE, MBI, amplitude of P300, and latency of P300, with the intervention group demonstrating more pronounced improvements compared to the control group. In terms of specific cognitive domains, the intervention group exhibited greater improvements than the control group in TMT-A, TMT-B, and AVLT-H. Both groups showed improvements in SDMT and BNT, but the differences between the groups were not statistically significant. Additionally, there was no significant improvement in the CDT for either group before and after treatment.
Conclusion: CACT was found to improve patients' cognitive function, especially in areas of attention, executive function, and memory. It also effectively improved activities of daily living.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients and animal models exhibit an altered gut microbiome that is associated with pathological changes in the brain. Intestinal miRNA enters bacteria and regulates bacterial metabolism and proliferation. This study aimed to investigate whether the manipulation of miRNA could alter the gut microbiome and AD pathologies.

Background: Survivors of critical illness frequently face physical, cognitive and psychological impairments after intensive care. Sensorimotor impairments potentially have a negative impact on participation. However, comprehensive understanding of sensorimotor recovery and participation in survivors of critical illness is limited.

With the persistence of difficult employment, a large number of college students feel anxious and nervous about job hunting. College students with different family economic status have various feelings and performances when faced with employment, possibly due to subjective social class differences. The present study investigated the employment confidence of 611 undergraduates in Chongqing, aimed to ascertain the overall employment confidence of Chinese college students, and tried to analyze how subjective social class works on the employment confidence of college students and its influencing mechanism.

Background: Post-viral syndromes, including long- and post-COVID, often lead to persistent symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnoea, affecting patients' daily lives and ability to work. The COVI-Care M-V trial examines whether interprofessional, patient-centred teleconsultations, initiated by general practitioners in cooperation with specialists, can help reduce symptom burden and improve care for patients.
Methods: To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention under routine care conditions, a cluster-randomised controlled trial is being conducted.
