| 1 | Vascular cognitive impairment, a cardiovascular complication显示文摘Over the past two decades, the term vascular cognitive impairment(VCI) has been used to refer to a spectrum of cognitive decline characterized by executive dysfunction, associated with vascular pathology. With 30% of stroke survivors showing cognitive impairments, it is regarded as the most common cause of cognitive impairment. This is a narrative review of available literature citing sources from Pub Med, MEDLINE and Google Scholar. VCI has a high prevalence both before and after a stroke and is associated with great economic and caregiver burden. Despite this, there is no standardized diagnostic criteria for VCI. Hypertension has been identified as a risk factor for VCI and causes changes in cerebral vessel structure and function predisposing to lacuna infarcts and small vessel haemorrhages in the frontostriatal loop leading to executive dysfunction and other cognitive impairments. Current trials have shown promising results in the use of antihypertensive medications in the management of VCI and prevention of disease progression to vascular dementia. Prevention of VCI is necessary in light of the looming dementia pandemic. All patients with cardiovascular risk factors would therefore benefit from cognitive screening with screening instruments sensitive to executive dysfunction as well as prompt and adequate control of hypertension. | Adiukwu Frances Ofori Sandra Ugbomah Lucy | 2016 | World Journal of Psychiatry2016，6，2： | 14 |
| 2 | Mental health in the post-COVID-19 era:challenges and the way forward显示文摘The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a serious threat to global mental health.Multiple lines of evidence suggest that there is a varying yet considerable increase in mental health issues among the general population and vulnerable groups.12 The aftermath is obscure and speculative from a social,economic,individual and public mental health perspective.Recently published studies support the existence of an emotional epidemic curve,describing a high probability of an increase in the burden of mental health issues in the post-pandemic era.34 Furthermore,previous major public health emergencies showed that more than half of the population devel-oped mental health problems and required mental health intervention.45 There is,therefore,an urgent need to reorganise existing mental health services to address the current unmet needs for mental health and to prepare for future challenges in the postpandemic era in terms of prevention and management. | Ramyadarshni Vadivel Sheikh Shoib Sarah El Halabi Samer El Hayek LamiaàEssam Drita Gashi Bytyçi Ruta Karaliuniene Andre Luiz Schuh Teixeira Sachin Nagendrappa Rodrigo Ramalho Ramdas Ransing Victor Pereira-Sanchez Chonnakarn Jatchavala Frances Nkechi Adiukwu Ganesh Kudva Kundadak | 2021 | General Psychiatry2021，34，1： | 2 |
