Background
Until now there is a lack of cognitive screening tests for Deaf older adults to detect Alzheimer’s Disease Dementia (ADD) across Europe, as well as limited access to the therapeutic methods imposed. Therefore, the Deaf population has little access to dementia services.
Method
To fill this gap, the current Erasmus+ project aims to adapt...
There is a growing interest in delivering videoconferencing psychotherapy (VCP) due to the enormous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our lives since the beginning of severe restrictions worldwide in March 2020. Scientific literature has provided interesting results about the transition to remote sessions and its implications, considering differen...
OBJECTIVE: The present study aimed to examine the extent of deficits associated with the Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome (CCAS) in patients treated for paediatric posterior fossa tumours (PFT). Furthermore, we wanted to assess its diagnostic validity and predictive value for late sequelae. METHOD: Neuropsychological test data from 56 PFT pa...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the extent of participation barriers in patients with pediatric posterior fossa tumors (PFTs) at long-term follow-up. While most studies focus on pathobiological variables that promote the occurrence of adverse late effects, the present analysis aims to investigate the importance of environmental variables. METHOD...
Background:
This study investigates the severeness of participation barriers in patients surviving paediatric posterior fossa tumours (PFT) many years after treatment. In the past, aetiological studies on adverse outcome have primarily focused on pathobiological risk factors. The current analysis aims to investigate the importance of environmental...
Background
The aim of this case-control study was to investigate the severity of the Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome (CCAS) in patients treated for pediatric posterior fossa tumours (PFT) and evaluate its diagnostic validity and predictive value for long-term effects.
Methods
Using neuropsychological test data of 56 patients with PFT (mean...
Objective: This study addresses the issue of drawing valid conclusions about the assessment of executive functioning (EF) in long-term survivors of pediatric posterior fossa tumors (PPFT).
Method: All 44 patients (females = 18, mean age = 11 years) were treated consecutively at our department for PPFTs (medulloblastomas, ependymomas, low-grade-gli...
The consensus- and evidence-based guideline of the Psychosocial Working Group (PSAPOH) within the German-speaking Society for Pediatric Oncology and Hematology (GPOH) was first published in 2008. After revision in 2013 the second update was provided in 2018/19. It contained a survey of psychosocial staff as well as a systematic review of scientific...
The Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome (CMS) is a severe complication after resection of a pediatric cerebellar tumor. Incidence rates vary and sophisticated neurocognitive and academic outcome studies are still rare. CMS is characterized by entire absence of speech for a certain time period after surgery. However, during long-term follow-up other distinct...
Objective:
Previous studies differ regarding the long-term effects of surgically removed pediatric cerebellar pilocytic astrocytomas (CPA). Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the long-term impact on neurocognitive and functional outcome and to analyze age as an influencing factor.
Methods:
Fourteen CPA patients were compared to the a...
