BACKGROUND There is limited information on the effects of sports drinks on cognitive function after exercise in the heat. We aimed to investigate the effects of ingesting a commercially available carbohydrate-electrolyte (CHO) solution on cognitive performance following exercise-induced hyperthermia. METHODS Twelve participants completed three practices of cognitive tests, one full familiaris...

s | 17 that only the years of education(β = -.38, p = .02) was significant to predict CS difference(adjusted R2 = .12, F(1, 37) = 6.27, p = .02). In the gray matter thickness analysis, thinner precuneus, cuneus and posterior cingulate gyrus predicted memory improvement(CS difference (p <0.05 RFT corrected)).; beta =-.37, t =4.16, number of vertex =231, Peak MNI coordinate(x, y, z) =(4.90...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the neuropsychological effects of current low level and previous higher levels of exposure to lead and evaluate the relation between effects of lead and bone lead. METHODS A neuropsychological test battery was given to 54 storage battery workers with well documented long term exposure to lead. The effect was studied in two subgroups: those whose blood lead had never exce...

The Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT) is a widely used instrument to assess information processing speed, attention, visual scanning, and tracking. Considering that repeated evaluations are a common need in neuropsychological assessment routines, we explored test-retest reliability and practice effects of two alternate SDMT forms with a short inter-assessment interval. A total of 123 universi...

background and aim: dichotic digit test (ddt) is a valid neuropsychological tool for determining the dominant hemisphere in verbal processing; therefore, the main goal of this research was designing and investigating the psychometric properties of ddt in a sample of iranian children and then measuring its concurrent validity using the n-back task. methods: the present study was a descriptive an...

John Bloomfield and Kathleen Harder, College of Architecture and Landscape Architecture Fatigue Detection: Can FatigueDetection Devices Predict the Driving Performance of Sleep-Deprived Drivers? Status: In progress This project is seeking to determine the relationship between sleep deprivation and driving performance and to determine whether impairments in driving performance caused by sleep de...

The relation between hypertension and cognition in elders remains unclear, and studies on the effect of antihypertensive drugs on cognition have demonstrated conflicting results. This study was performed to evaluate if the association between hypertension and cognition in elders differed depending on serum concentrations of organochlorine (OC) pesticides, common neurotoxic chemicals. Participan...

BACKGROUND Erythrocytes are transfused to treat or prevent imminent inadequate tissue oxygenation. 2,3-diphosphoglycerate concentration decreases and oxygen affinity of hemoglobin increases (P50 decreases) with blood storage, leading some to propose that erythrocytes stored for 14 or more days do not release sufficient oxygen to make their transfusion efficacious. The authors tested the hypothe...
