The Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire: Operating characteristics in non-pain forensic samples.

Applied Neuropsychology. Adult
George Kahle Henry, Jeffrey Gornbein

Abstract

The objective of the current archival study was to investigate the ability of the Modified Somatic Perception Questionnaire (MSPQ) to discriminate between noncredible and credible neurocognitive dysfunction in a large mixed non-pain forensic sample comprised of personal injury litigants and disability claimants. Participants included 149 adults who underwent comprehensive neuropsychological examination. Criterion groups were formed, i.e., Credible Group (CG), or Noncredible Group (NCG) based upon their performance on stand-alone performance validity tests (PVT) including the Word Memory Test (WMT), and/or Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM), and Victoria Symptom Validity Test (VSVT). After excluding examinees with evidence of somatization participants in the NCG scored significantly higher on the MSPQ compared to participants in the CG. Scores on the MSPQ were not only related to cognitive performance validity but also amplified by the co-existence of somatization. There were no significant effects of gender, age, or race on MSPQ scores. We conclude that the MSPQ demonstrates external validity as a self-report measure of symptom validity that is sensitive to somatic and autonomic complaints in non-pain forensic samples.

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.
