Computerized screening tools for neurocognitive impairment in patients with HIV infection
Neurocognitive impairment is one the non-infectious comorbidities related to HIV infection [1]. An increasing number of studies have shown the importance of assessing attention, motor, memory and cognitive functions under standardized conditions [2]. We have designed a computerized assessment tool, adapting some well-known methods of neurocognitive evaluation, and we have initiated a pilot stud...

The aim of this study is to examine the viability of a brief computerized cognitive test battery, Central Nervous System Vital Signs (CNSVS), in COPD patients.

متن کاملScreening for neurocognitive impairment, depression, and anxiety in HIV-infected patients in Western Europe and Canada
CRANIum, a cross-sectional epidemiology study in Western Europe and Canada, was conducted to describe and compare the prevalence of a positive screen for neurocognitive impairment (NCI), depressive symptoms, and anxiety in an HIV-positive population either receiving combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) or who were naive to antiretroviral therapy (ART). HIV-positive patients ≥18 years of ag...
متن کاملMitochondrial DNA Haplogroups and Neurocognitive Impairment During HIV Infection.
BACKGROUND Neurocognitive impairment (NCI) remains an important complication in persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Ancestry-related mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroups have been associated with outcomes of HIV infection and combination antiretroviral therapy (CART), and with neurodegenerative diseases. We hypothesize that mtDNA haplogroups are associated with NCI in HIV...
