Depression among the head-injured and non-head-injured: a discriminant analysis

Brain Injury : [BI]
M S AloiaJ B Allen

Abstract

Neuropsychologists often use traditional psychological tests to assess depression following a head injury; but the assumption that depression with a head injury resembles that in an uninjured person is suspect. The current study attempts to examine the cognitive manifestations of depression with and without a coexisting head-injury. Advanced statistical methods are used to assess whether or not the two depressions 'look alike' with respect to the neuropsychological sequelae of the disorders. A total of 1182 people were entered into one of two discriminant function analyses (DFA) for depression. Each person was a member of one of the following groups: (a) depressed, (b) non-depressed, (c) head-injured, or (d) head-injured and depressed. Two functions were performed for depression, one on the population of head-injured people and one on the population of uninjured people. Cross-validations were performed for each population and across populations in order to assess the utility of each population's function for the opposite group. This comparison allows the researcher to indirectly compare depression in the two populations. Both functions were successfully applied to either population when MMPI variables were included in the analy...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
