This book was released on 1989 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documentation of neurological complications and neuropathological findings arising in most AIDS patients has stimulated the need for an investigation of the brain-behaviour relationship associated with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. This study aimed to verify the hypothesis that a chronic subclinical AIDS dementia exists in view of the neurotropic quality of HIV. Participants were 59 male homosexuals distributed as follows: 17 healthy HIV seronegative, 14 healthy HIV seropositive, 14 AIDS-Related Complex, and 14 AIDS. They were administered a comprehensive battery of neuropsychological tests, including measures of attention, cognition, memory, language, executive, and sensorimotor functions. An examination of the emotional and psychological concomitants was performed using questionnaires of personality (MMPI), anxiety (STAI), and health-related behavioural dysfunction (SIP). Group comparisons were conducted on the basis of Health Status (Healthy vs Nonhealthy) and Medical Diagnosis (HIV-, HIV+, ARC, & AIDS). Results revealed a significant Health Status effect overall, as well as evidence for a deterioration of higher mental abilities occuring with progression of HIV infection. These findings appear to be independent of the emotional and psychological factors, which are felt to be an integrative part of the AIDS-Dementia Complex (ADC).

Download or read book Correlates of Neuropsychological Functioning and Associations with Therapeutic Alliance in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Opiate-dependent Patients written by Allison J. Applebaum and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Neuropsychological (NP) impairment is multiply determined among HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected individuals who are also depressed and use illicit substances. Additionally, there is evidence that NP impairment challenges patients' ability to engage in counseling. The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of HIV status, depression and substance use on NP performance, and to examine the effect of these factors on the therapeutic alliance between patients and their counselors. Additionally, this study examined the role of HIV status as a moderator for counselor-rated therapeutic alliance. One hundred and sixty opiate-dependent outpatients undergoing methadone maintenance (80 HIV-infected, 80 HIV-uninfected) completed diagnostic and NP evaluations. All of the HIV-uninfected participants and 22 of the HIV-infected participants (and their counselors) completed an assessment of therapeutic alliance. Findings from individual NP tests were converted to Z scores relative to standard norms and averaged to form a composite score. HIV-infected participants had significantly lower NP scores than HIV-uninfected participants. Only HIV status was a significant predictor of NP impairment. When the impact of HIV status, depression, substance use and NP impairment on patient- and counselor-rated alliance was evaluated, alcohol use and depression emerged as significant predictors of lower patient-rated alliance. Also, lower performance on a test of attention was a significant predictor of lower patient- and counselor-rated alliance, and lower performance on tests of verbal fluency and memory were significant predictors of lower patient-rated alliance. HIV status did not moderate the relationship between NP impairment and therapeutic alliance.To our knowledge, this was the first study to examine the unique impact of HIV status, depression, substance use and NP functioning on therapeutic alliance, and the role of HIV status as a potential moderator for therapeutic alliance in any clinical setting. Our findings provide additional evidence for a significant role of specific NP impairment in influencing the degree to which individuals may be able to make use of their treatment resources, in this case, individual counseling. Understanding the multiple factors, including depression and substance use, that can influence engagement in treatment has the potential to lead to better interventions for patients in need.

Book excerpt: Psychoneuroimmunology, Second Edition presents reports on the relationship between the nervous and immune systems. The book is divided into four sections. The first section details the role of neural structures and neurotransmitter signals in communication with the immune system. It documents the extensive neural connections with organs of the immune system; the dynamics of noradrenergic sympathetic innervation of spleen and thymus; and the evidence for immune signaling of the CNS. Part II elaborates the role of hormones in the modulation of immune functions; the basis for bidirectional communication between the neuroendocrine and immune systems; and the potential physiological implications of these neuroendocrine-immune system interactions. The third part addresses behavioral influences on immune response; the effects of conditioning, stress and social interactions in modulating immune responses; and the behavioral consequences of experimentally altered or genetically determined immunologic states. The final section presents the effects of psychosocial factors on immune responses and the potential impact of behavioral interventions in modulating immunity in healthy human subjects and in patients with AIDS. Neuroscientists, endocrinologists, and immunologists will find the book interesting.

The Third Edition aims to reflect the enormous developments in neuropsychology in terms of research, clinical applications, and growth of new talent during the past decade. At one time focused on mapping the cognitive and related consequences of brain injuries, research in neuropsychology has now expanded to much broader considerations of the effects of systemic disease, infection, medications, and inflammatory processes on neurocognition and emotion. The Third Edition attemtps to capture these developments while continuing to adhere to the objective of presenting them in a concise manner in a single volume.
