Serum and plasma dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) concentration has been associated with several health parameters associated with aging including cognitive function, bone mineral density, and muscular strength. However, the effectiveness of salivary DHEA for the prediction of cognitive function, bone mineral density, and muscular strength in older adults is currently unknown. Thirty elde...

INTRODUCTION Baseline values and early changes of emotional reactivity, cognitive speed, psychomotor function, motivation, and sensory perception have not been studied to any extent in unipolar depression, although they could help to characterize different dimensions of illness that are harder to capture by clinicians, give new insights on how patients improve, and offer new early clinical mark...

Psychomotor behaviors are governed by fine relationships between physical activity and cognitive functions. Disturbances in psychomotor development and performance are a hallmark of many mental illnesses and often appear as observable and measurable behaviors. Here, we describe a new method called an "equilibrist test," which can be used to quantify psychomotor learning and performance in Droso...

background: noise is defined as unwanted or meaningless sound that apart from auditory adverse health effects may distract attention from cues that are important for task performance. human performance is influenced by many job-related factors and workplace conditions including noise level. objective: to study the effect of noise on human performance. methods: the participants included 40 healt...

Patient-maintained sedation using propofol has recently been shown to be effective for dental surgery. We compared this new technique to the established technique of operator administered midazolam. The two groups were compared before, during and after sedation. The two primary outcomes were time until discharge and oxygen saturation. Vital signs, anxiety and psychomotor skills were also compar...

lthough universal salt iodization has been used as the most effective method of providing iodine supplementation, in areas where salt iodization program has failed, or when iodized salt is not widely available, iodized oil can be used for iodine supplementation. Following administration of iodized oil, iodine is continuously released from the lipid stores over long periods of time. The effect m...

BACKGROUND Kidney transplantation (TX) may ameliorate the neuropsychological (NP) impairments in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Previous studies have suffered from small sample sizes, lack of standardization of dialysis adequacy, and insufficiently sensitive NP tests. METHODS Twenty-eight medically stable patients aged 44.04 (12.01) years with ESRD were investigated before and at 6 months af...

OBJECTIVES To assess the psychomotor development of the progeny of women from a moderately iodine-deficient area for whom thyroid function during pregnancy was measured. STUDY DESIGN The development of 86 children was assessed by the Bayley Scale of Infant Development at 12, 18, and 24 months. RESULTS Maternal serum free thyroxine (FT(4)) levels in the first trimester of pregnancy were the ...

BACKGROUND Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has revealed microstructural aspects of adolescent brain development, the cognitive correlates of which remain relatively uncharacterized. METHODS DTI was used to assess white matter microstructure in 18 typically developing adolescents (ages 16-18). Fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusion (MD) were evaluated within the splenium and body of the ...
