TL;DR: Mild cognitive impairment can be regarded as a risk state for dementia, and its identification could lead to secondary prevention by controlling risk factors such as systolic hypertension.

TL;DR: Data suggest that the risk of subtle cognitive deficits may be increased in asymptomatic stages of HIV-1 infection, however, these deficits are not associated with neurologic changes and do not seem to affect subjects' social functioning.

TL;DR: Hippocampal volumes and N-acetyl aspartate/creatine spectroscopy were the most sensitive assessments discriminating people with mild cognitive impairment from Alzheimer's disease and Combination assessments were better at discriminating these two groups from normal controls.

TL;DR: Data from two independent test-retest studies of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule (DIS and CIDI) was used to study the reliability of different time-related questions in these fully standardized diagnostic interviews and found a surprisingly high concordance for former psychotic patients except for those still severely disturbed at the follow-up investigation.

TL;DR: Psychiatric assessment revealed a significantly higher prevalence of current mental disorders in symptomatic seropositive persons compared with seronegative controls among intravenous drug users in Bangkok and homosexuals/bisexuals in São Paulo, suggesting the significance of the psychopathological complications of symptomatic HIV-1 infection may have been underestimated.
