“…A neuropsychologist interpreted the test results and determined if the findings were most consistent with TBI or whether abnormal findings were better explained by another process such as PTSD. Intelligence was assessed with the fourth edition of the Wide Range Achievement Test [28] and the information subtest of the third edition of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-III) [29]. Attention and information tracking were assessed with the Stroop Color Name and Color Word Tests [30][31] and the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test [32][33].…”

Abstract-Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common injury type among Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (OIF/OEF) veterans, and headaches are a frequent consequence of TBI. We examined the hypothesis that among veterans who reported mild TBI caused by exposure to an explosion during deployment in OIF/OEF, those with residual neurocognitive deficits would have a higher frequency of headaches and more severe headaches. We evaluated 155 consecutive veterans with neurological examination and neuropsychological testing. We excluded 29 veterans because they did not have mild TBI or they did not complete the evaluation. We analyzed headache pattern, intensity, and frequency. Among the 126 veterans studied, 80 had impairments on neurological examination or neuropsychological testing that were best attributed to TBI. Veterans with impairments had been exposed to more explosions and were more likely to have headache, features of migraine, more severe pain, more frequent headaches, posttraumatic stress disorder, and impaired sleep with nightmares.

“…Tests included verbal and visual intelligence quotient (IQ, ve/vi) measured with the Wechsler adult intelligence scale 15,16 and the Dutch Groninger intelligence test. 17,18 The Wechsler memory scale-revised 19 was used to give an impression of verbal and visual memory (memory quotient: MQ, ve/vi).…”

Five patients with adult-onset metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) underwent allo-SCT. Conditioning was reduced in intensity and grafts were obtained from voluntary unrelated donors. All but one graft were depleted of T-lymphocytes. Patient age at transplantation varied from 18 to 29 (median, 27) years. Two patients rejected their graft and MLD progressed. The recipient of the unmanipulated graft converted to complete donor chimerism with normalization of arylsulphatase A (ARSA) levels. Despite ARSA normalization, he deteriorated. Another patient was a mixed chimera. Following escalated doses of donor lymphocyte infusions he converted to complete donor chimerism. His levels of ARSA correlated positively with the percentage of donor cells and MLD was not progressive. The fifth patient died after 35 days from complications associated with GVHD. We conclude that results of allo-SCT in symptomatic MLD patients are poor. However, allo-SCT may stop progression of MLD in selected patients.

“…First, flexibility was measured with the Trail-Making Test (TMT) [38]. Short-term memory was assessed with the forward digit span, and working memory (the ability to simultaneously maintain and process information) was evaluated with the backward digit span of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) [12]. To test verbal episodic memory, participants were given the word-learning test described by [39].…”

Patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment are at high risk for developing Alzheimer's disease. Besides episodic memory dysfunction they show deficits in accessing contextual knowledge that further specifies a general spatial navigation task or an executive function (EF) virtual action planning. Virtual reality (VR) environments have already been successfully used in cognitive rehabilitation and show increased potential for use in neuropsychological evaluation allowing for greater ecological validity while being more engaging and user friendly. In our study we employed the in-house platform of virtual action planning museum (VAP-M) and a sample of 25 MCI and 25 controls, in order to investigate deficits in spatial navigation, prospective memory, and executive function. In addition, we used the morphology of late components in event-related potential (ERP) responses, as a marker for cognitive dysfunction. The related measurements were fed to a common classification scheme facilitating the direct comparison of both approaches. Our results indicate that both the VAP-M and ERP averages were able to differentiate between healthy elders and patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment and agree with the findings of the virtual action planning supermarket (VAP-S). The sensitivity (specificity) was 100% (98%) for the VAP-M data and 87% (90%) for the ERP responses. Considering that ERPs have proven to advance the early detection and diagnosis of "presymptomatic AD," the suggested VAP-M platform appears as an appealing alternative.
