...
Arrieta López, Milton | 2019-06-20

La revolución tecnológica produce cambios en la sociedad, los menores de edad se desenvuelven en contextos sociales propios de la era digital, lo cual ha propiciado nuevas formas de acoso. La presente investigación consiste en analizar las perspectivas jurídicas y neuropsicológicas del ciberbullying como problemática vigente. Se concluye principalmente que el ciberbullying vulnera bienes jurídicos fundamentales, siendo la intimidad de la persona humana el más afectado y a nivel neuropsicológico los procesos implicados en las codificaciones y transcurso de respuestas emocionales que permiten las interacciones sociales, refieren que todo acto es instrumentalizado, planificado y llevado a cabo para un propósito.

...
Crivelli, Lucía | 2021-10-11

Background: Neurological and psychiatric manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection have been reported throughout the scientific literature. However, studies on post-COVID cognitive impairment in people with no previous cognitive complaint are scarce. Objective: We aim to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on cognitive functions in adults without cognitive complaints before infection and to study cognitive dysfunction according to disease severity and cognitive risk factors. Methods: Forty-five post-COVID-19 patients and forty-five controls underwent extensive neuropsychological evaluation, which assessed cognitive domains such as memory, language, attention, executive functions, and visuospatial skills, including psychiatric symptomatology scales. Data were collected on the severity of infection, premorbid medical conditions, and functionality for activities of daily living before and after COVID-19. Results: Significant differences between groups were found in cognitive composites of memory (p=0.016, Cohen’s d= 0.73), attention (p<0.001, Cohen’s d=1.2), executive functions (p<0.001, Cohen’s d=1.4), and language (p=0.002, Cohen’s d=0.87). The change from premorbid to post-infection functioning was significantly different between severity groups (WHODAS, p=0.037). Self-reported anxiety was associated with the presence of cognitive dysfunction in COVID-19 subjects (p=0.043). Conclusion: Our results suggest that the presence of cognitive symptoms in post-COVID-19 patients may persist for months after disease remission and argue for the inclusion of cognitive assessment as a protocolized stage of the post-COVID examination. Screening measures may not be sufficient to detect cognitive dysfunction in post-COVID-19 patients.

Executive functioning and decision making in men who look at advertising stimuli with sexual content
...
Baeceló, Ernesto | 2018-03-02

Introduction: Decision making is determined by executive functioning (cognition), but also by other environmental and emotional elements inside the process. However, until now, studies that take into account both the cognitive elements and the characteristics of the stimuli when making a decision are unknown. Objective: The purpose of this research was to determine the influence of advertising stimuli with sexual content in decision making, taking into account neuropsychological variables such as executive functioning and. experimental conditions such as the order in which the stimuli are presented. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was carried out, with a sample of 60 subjects, of male gender and aged between 18 and 35 years of age, with normal and low executive functions (measured through validated neuropsychological protocols), whom were showed an advertisement with and without sexual stimuli, presented in different order. Subsequently, a preference survey of the stimuli was carried out. Results: The results show the influence of the stimulus with sexual content on decision making in men with executive functioning below what was expected, when they observe first the stimulus without sexual content and then the stimulus with sexual content. Conclusion: This suggests the influence of executive functions (including working memory) in decision making, when stimuli with sexual content are involved

Keller, Greta | 2022

Los nuevos procedimientos quirúrgicos han beneficiado a los pacientes con Gliomas de Bajo Grado (GBG), quienes tienen una mayor esperanza de vida. Por este motivo existe un creciente interés en proteger la cognición y mejorar su calidad de vida. Los objetivos del estudio fueron: (1) Construir y administrar una batería neuropsicológica que permita examinar el perfil cognitivo prequirúrgico en pacientes con GBG y determinar los efectos posquirúrgicos. (2) Diseñar una intervención intraquirúrgica para pacientes con lesiones en el hemisferio izquierdo a fin de minimizar posibles déficits posteriores. Se evaluaron 19 pacientes con una batería prequirúrgica que evalúa los distintos dominios cognitivos: memoria, lenguaje, atención, funciones ejecutivas, habilidades visuoespaciales, cognición social, praxias y gnosias. Asimismo, los pacientes completaron cuestionarios neuropsiquiátricos con el fin de valorar funcionalidad, estado anímico y calidad de vida. Los pacientes presentaron déficit en múltiples dominios cognitivos en la evaluación prequirúrgica, al comparar su rendimiento con valores normativos ajustados por edad, sexo y educación. Los resultados del presente estudio demuestran la importancia de la administración de la batería neuropsicológica específicamente diseñada para pacientes con GBG y la evaluación de los dominios cognitivos para lograr la detección y el seguimiento de posibles trastornos cognitivos.

El funcionamiento cognitivo como endofenotipo de la anorexia nerviosa. Estudio en familiares no afectados por la enfermedad
...
Tapajóz, Fernanda | 2022

El perfil cognitivo de los pacientes con anorexia nerviosa se caracteriza por dificultades en la flexibilidad mental y en la coherencia central. El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar si los familiares de primer grado no afectados de los pacientes presentan estas dificultades cognitivas, que podrían representar rasgos endofenotípicos de la enfermedad. Fueron estudiadas 34 mujeres: 17 familiares de primer grado (madres y hermanas) de pacientes con anorexia nerviosa y 17 controles sanos agrupados por edad y escolaridad. Se consideraron el índice de masa corporal, la ansiedad, la depresión, los síntomas obsesivo-compulsivos y los relacionados con los trastornos alimentarios. Se evaluó la coherencia central, mediante la copia de la Figura Compleja de Rey, y la flexibilidad mental, mediante el test de Stroop, el test de los trazos B y el test de fluencia fonológica. Los familiares de pacientes con anorexia nerviosa presentaron un menor rendimiento en las medidas de coherencia central (p < .05) y en fluencia fonológica (p < .05) que los controles sanos. Se observó una correlación entre el test de Stroop y los síntomas de depresión y trastornos alimentarios (p < .05). Los familiares de primer grado no afectados de pacientes con anorexia nerviosa presentaron dificultades en la coherencia central y, en menor grado, en la flexibilidad mental. Los resultados en los familiares indican que este perfil podría ser mediado genéticamente, constituyendo un rasgo característico de la anorexia nerviosa y, por ende, un posible candidato a endofenotipo neuropsicológico de esta enfermedad. Palabras clave: anorexia nerviosa, neuropsicología, coherencia central, flexibilidad mental, endofenotipo.

Allegri, Ricardo Francisco | 2018-05-16

The Argentine neuropsychological school is born of the hand of the European school and is part of the beginning of the Experimental Psychology. In 1896 Horacio Pinero creates the first Department of Psychology at the University of Buenos Aires and in 1898 the first laboratory of Experimental Psychology is annexed. José Ingeniero, psychiatrist, neurologist, politician and above all sociologist publishes in France his work about the musical aphasia, the first neuropsychological work with international significance. In the same redeems to Charcot instead of to Knoblauch like the first one to describe the amusias, it speaks of an intelligence instead of a musical language and proposes a new classification and a methodology of assessment with a neurological-psychiatric integrative perspective. This article gave rise to this book in French on the musical language and its hysterical alterations awarded by the Academy of Medicine of Paris.

Literacy level and executive control in healthy older peruvian adults
...
Soto-Añari, Marcio | 2021-08-26

Introduction: Early-life educational experiences are associated with cognitive performance in aging. Early literacy seems to improve executive control mechanisms, however, it is not clear whether early education would still be an advantage in countries like Peru, where access to and quality of education is highly variable. Aim: Our objective was to analyze the association of literacy level with executive control factors. Method: We evaluated 93 healthy older adults with a clinical protocol that included the Mini-Mental State Examination, the Geriatric Depression Scale and Global Dementia Staging. We also used a neuropsychological executive function battery which included the Trail-Making Test parts A and B, the Stroop Test, phonological and semantic verbal fluency tasks, Forward and Backward Digits, Numbers and Letters of the Wechsler Scale, and the Go/No-Go task. We used a principal component analysis for the dimensional reduction of the variables. To measure the level of literacy we used the word accentuation test (WAT). Results: We observed statistically significant correlations between the principal components (PCs) of working memory, cognitive flexibility and inhibitory control with the WAT scores. Furthermore, we observed that processing speed and WAT predict the scores on PCs factors better than years of education and age. Conclusions: Literacy level correlates more closely with better cognitive performance than years of education and thus, might improve executive control factors that could compensate and protect against brain changes in cognitive decline and dementia.

Utility of a screening test (MoCa) to predict amyloid physiopathology in mild cognitive impairment
...
Clarens, María Florencia | 2020-12-09

Introduction: The MoCa (Montreal Cognitive Assessment) Screening test has become relevant in recent years in the screening of patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). It is important to seek and study simple and reliable tools in clinical practices that correlate with biological markers that have been used to predict conversion from MCI to AD. Objective: To analyze the MOCA and its cognitive sub-scores and the relationship with Amyloid pathophysiology in Alzheimer’s Disease. Methodology: 32 patients with MCI were studied, they were separated according positive (n: 20) and negative (n: 12) underlying amyloid pathology. The patients performed a extensive cognitive assessment that included MoCa Test. Results: MoCa Total Scores showed significantly different results between groups (p < 0.001) and the Orientation Score (MoCa OIS)) (p < 0.05) with worse performance of patients with amyloid pathophysiology. Score of MoCa a cut-off point of < 24 was established, since the diagnostic sensitivity at this point was 83% and the specificity 70%. Conclusions: The MoCa is a useful tool to differentiate biomarker status in MCI. Future studies should study this tool in the prodromal phases of the disease.

Working group recommendations for the practice of teleneuropsychology in Latin America
...
Crivelli, Lucía | 2021-10-20

Objective: Teleneuropsychology (teleNP) could potentially expand access to services for patients who are confined, have limited personal access to healthcare, or live in remote areas. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased the use of teleNP for cognitive assessments. The main objective of these recommendations is to identify which procedures can be potentially best adapted to the practice of teleNP in Latin America, and thereby facilitate professional decision-making in the region. Method: Steps taken to develop these recommendations included (1) formation of an international working group with representatives from 12 Latin American countries; (2) assessment of rationale, scope, and objectives; (3) formulation of clinical questions; (4) evidence search and selection; (5) evaluation of existing evidence and summary; and (6) formulation of recommendations. Levels of evidence were graded following the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine system. Databases examined included PubMed, WHO-IRIS, WHO and PAHO-IRIS, Índice Bibliográfico Español en Ciencias de la Salud (IBCS), and LILACS. Results: Working group members reviewed 18,400 titles and 422 abstracts and identified 19 articles meeting the criteria for level of evidence, categorization, and elaboration of recommendations. The vast majority of the literature included teleNP tests in the English language. The working group proposed a series of recommendations that can be potentially best adapted to the practice of teleNP in Latin America. Conclusions: There is currently sufficient evidence to support the use of videoconferencing technology for remote neuropsy chological assessments. These recommendations will likely contribute to the advancement of teleNP research and practice in the region.
