A key distinction between older and younger individuals with persistent pain is the normal and pathological ageing-associated brain changes.
Twenty-four individuals with persistent persecutory delusions and high levels of worry were randomly assigned to receive a four session cognitive-behavioural worry intervention (W-CBT) or treatment as usual (TAU).
Clinical management of individuals with persistent axial pain after a motor vehicle accident (MVA) and measures to prevent future MVA, spinal cord injury, and traffic deaths often depend on a presumed accurate report of preexisting axial pain, drug, alcohol, and psychological problems to initiate intervention.
Individuals with persistent or late-onset ADHD showed poorer functioning across all domains, including mental health, substance misuse, psychosocial, physical health and socioeconomic outcomes.
OBJECTIVE To investigate childhood risk factors and young adult functioning of individuals with persistent, remitted, and late-onset young adult ADHD.
Neuropsychological decline was specific to schizophrenia, as no evidence of decline was apparent among individuals with persistent depression, children with mild cognitive impairment, individuals matched on childhood risk factors for schizophrenia, and psychiatrically healthy individuals.
Curvature measurements are in mm−1 Italicized p-values are significant (p<.05) Fig. 1 Regions with structural differences when comparing individuals with persistent post-traumatic headache (PPTH) to those with migraine.
Differences in regional volumes, cortical thickness, surface area and brain curvature were identified when comparing the group of individuals with persistent post-traumatic headache to the group with migraine.
Twenty-eight individuals with persistent post-traumatic headache attributed to mild traumatic brain injury and 28 individuals with migraine underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging on a 3 T scanner.
The purpose of the present study is to identify child and adult correlates that differentiate (a) individuals with persistent alcohol dependence from individuals with developmentally limited alcohol dependence and (b) individuals with adult-onset alcohol dependence from individuals who never diagnose.
