Topic: cognitive functioning

The level of cognitive functions related to mathematical ability declines in the aging process. Moreover, studies show that dysfunction in numerical abilities can be a predictor of dementia. One of the numerical competence that can be studied in this area is the numerosity estimation ability, which is the basis for more complex mathematical operations, such as addition or multiplication. The purpose of the study was to test the relationship between different areas of cognitive functioning and selected numerical competence. The study participants were 72 elderly people (M = 71.00, SD = 4.90), w

Low-grade glioma (LGG) brain tumours can devastate all areas of a patient’s life. However, life expectancy is now greater than 15 years from diagnosis due to improvements in diagnosis, surgery and treatment. Therefore, clinical focus must shift from being solely treatment-orientated to promoting a rich quality of life for patients upon completion of oncology treatment (QoL). Returning to work (RTW) has shown to improve QoL in brain tumour patients. However, there is a lack of research specific to LGG patients experience of RTW. The present study investigated the rate of RTW in LGG patients and
