Cognitive function and serum levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor in patients with bipolar disorder.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important contributor to the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder (BD), and abnormalities in the BDNF-signaling system may be implicated in the cognitive decline observed in BD patients. We ... Read more...

Risk factors for functional decline in osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To summarize recent studies on risk factors for functional decline (i.e. worsening of pain and activity limitations) in osteoarthritis of the hip or knee; after a long period of neglect, information on risk factors for functional ... Read more...

Developing a measure of sluggish cognitive tempo for children: content validity, factor structure, and reliability.

30 Aug 2009 Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is a construct that some researchers believe may be extremely useful in understanding the inattentive subtype of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and may even help define a completely new disorder. However, ... Read more...
