Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS): preliminary utility in adult neuro-oncology

Neuro-oncology Practice

Abstract

Neurocognitive assessments have become integral to comprehensive neuro-oncology care. Existing screening tools may be insensitive to cognitive changes caused by medical treatments. Research supports the clinical value and psychometric properties of the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) in various medical populations; however, there is minimal evidence for its use in neuro-oncology. The purpose of the current study was to further explore the cognitive profile of patients with primary brain tumor (PBT) using the RBANS and to assess rates of below-expectation performance compared to normative data and estimated intellectual functioning. Data were collected on 82 PBT patients (54% male; age range, 19-81 years). All patients were administered the RBANS-Update and the Advanced Clinical Solutions-Test of Premorbid Functioning (TOPF) according to standardized instructions. Cognitive strengths and weaknesses were identified for PBT patients. Descriptive analyses, t tests, and chi-squared tests were utilized to identify and compare cognitive profiles. Overall, cognitive performance was low average for PBT patients. When compared to standardization data, PBT patients performed significantly worse a...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.
