An association of cognitive impairment with diabetes and retinopathy in end stage renal disease patients under peritoneal dialysis. by Jin-Lan Liao, Zu-Ying Xiong, Zhi-Kai Yang, Li Hao, Gui-Ling Liu, Ye-Ping Ren, Qin Wang, Li-Ping Duan, Zhao-Xia Zheng, Jie Dong

“…<h4>Methods</h4>In this multicenter cross-sectional study, 424 clinically stable patients were enrolled from 5 PD units, who performed PD for at least three months and completed fundoscopy examination if they had diabetes. Global cognitive function was measured using the Modified Mini-Mental State Examination (3MS), Trail-Making Test forms A and B for executive function, and subtests of the Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status for immediate and delayed memory, visuospatial skills, and language ability.…”

On the relationship between internet addiction and ADHD symptoms in adults: does the type of online activity matter? by Tuba Aydın, Benjamin A. Parris, Gizem Arabacı, Marina Kilintari, Jacqui Taylor

“…Results Consistent with previous research we show that inattention predicts internet addiction, and that this relationship is moderated by inhibitory control ability; the relationship between inattention and internet addiction strengthens as executive function impairment increases. Conclusions These results indicate that ADHD symptoms and executive function impairments interact in a way that leads to real-life consequences, even when there is no relationship between those symptoms and executive function performance. …”
