“…In seeking to answer the important clinical question, the neuropsychologist must be cognisant of the neurobehavioural presentation of the disorder in question, the presentations of other conditions that should be considered as alternative hypotheses, the relevant diagnostic criteria, and the psychometric features of the tests they employ. According to Schoenberg and Scott () conclusions as to the presence or absence of cognitive deficit are based on a comparison standard—either based on normative comparisons or within an individual's results. However, Brooks, Sherman, Iverson, Slick, and Strauss () caution that measurement error, ceiling effects, and floor effects can impact comparisons of performance across different tests, and that it is common for healthy people to have variability and some low scores when given a battery of tests.…”

There are many styles of neuropsychological practice, but the primary purpose of all assessments is to provide an understanding of cognition and how it relates to known or suspected brain conditions. The tools that the clinician selects to explore these hypotheses are important. Whilst some clinicians prefer tools with extensive psychometric data, others are more comfortable with combining clinical judgement with observations on a smaller number of tasks. The relative merits of these approaches are examined using hypothetical test data. What is already known on this topic1 Individual neuropsychologists vary in their selection of assessment tools. 2 For a variety of reasons, many chose to shorten larger test batteries, often based on individual preferences. 3 Many test instruments have known psychometric properties that should be taken into account when interpreting data. What this paper adds1 This paper illustrates the impact of the psychometric properties of WAIS-IV and WMS-IV subtests on interpretation. 2 This paper illustrates how overall test protocols can be impacted by a combination of these scores. 3 This paper illustrates how these factors can combine to impact upon clinical decision-making.

“…Anatomically, the neck is structurally vulnerable to injuries due to the neck containing the vital pathways for blood and oxygen flow to the brain and body, its relatively small size and lack of skeletal protection (Strack et al, 2001). There are multiple ways that strangulation can cause significant injury and death, however, most medical and forensic attention has been on hypoxia and anoxia -where the brain is starved of oxygen (Schoenberg & Scott, 2011). Without oxygen cell death within the brain occurs in minutes and can result in transient symptoms and permanent damage as noted in Table 1, to brain death and death (Anderson & Arciniegas, 2010;Schoenberg & Scott, 2011).…”

“…The pathophysiological process in which strangulation causes injury is primarily a result of the brain being deprived of oxygen or blood. This is distinct from traumatic brain injuries (TBI), which are a result of blunt force trauma (Schoenberg & Scott, 2011). However, the distinction between injuries as a result of strangulation and TBI has not always been observed in the literature.…”

Surviving Strangulation: A Critical Literature Review of the Consequences from a Psychological Perspective

2024

Psychology Applications &Amp; Developments IX

This critical review examines the literature on strangulation in the context of intimate partner violence, discussing in particular the neuropsychological and psychological consequences that have been associated with strangulation. Neuropsychological outcomes of strangulation have been predominantly derived from medical or forensic data and detail loss of consciousness, headaches, dizziness and memory loss as common consequences. Yet to be explored is the compounding effect of multiple instances of strangulation may have neuropsychologically, despite this being thought as a common experience to victim-survivors who have disclosed being strangled. PTSD and depression have been noted by researchers as a likely consequence of strangulation, however, the psychological consequences beyond diagnostic criteria are an area for further exploration. While informative, existing research has not yet examined how these consequences impact victim-survivors of strangulation within intimate partner violence. Having a more nuanced understanding of how strangulation impacts victim-survivors is imperative to tailoring support services to best meet their needs and this critical review concludes by highlighting key areas for future research.

“…Клиническое обследование включало сбор анамнестических данных, неврологический осмотр с детальной оценкой статики и локомоции (шкала Тинетти [27]), нейропсихологическое тестирование (MMSE [13], CDR [17], луриевские тесты [4], исследование памяти TIME-test [25]), оценку нарушения активности в повседневной жизни (шкала BADL [7]). Пациентам проводили магнитно-резонансную (МРТ) или компьютерную (КТ) томографию головного мозга.…”

Вивчали латентність та амплітуду слухового викликаного потенціалу Р300 в 11 осіб похилого та старечого віку без когнітивних порушень (БКП), середній вік – (70,73 ± 4,24) року, у 20 хворих з субкортикальним судинним легким когнітивним порушенням (ССЛКП), середній вік – (75,35 ± 5,48) року та у 20 пацієнтів із субкортикальною судинною деменцією (ССД), середній вік – (75,80 ± 6,51) року. Встановлено, що величина латентності хвилі Р300 достовірно збільшується на етапах розвитку ССД у пацієнтів похилого та старечого віку. Середні значення даного показника в групі БКП становили (341,09 ± 107,70) мс, у хворих із ССЛКП – (655,70 ± 87,08) мс, у хворих із ССД – (732,45 ± 74,64) мс. За даним показником можна диференціювати пацієнтів із ССЛКП й осіб БКП, хворих із ССД і ССЛКП. Збільшення латентності Р300 пов’язане з тяжкістю та специфікою когнітивного дефіциту етапів розвитку ССД, відображаючи прогресуюче погіршення функції уваги, оперативної пам’яті, наростання кінетичної та регуляторної апраксії.
