    Abstract Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) Set I is a validated and brief test of fluid intelligence, ideal for use in busy clinical settings. However, there is a dearth of normative data allowing an accurate interpretation of APM scores. To address this, we present normative data from across the adult lifespan (18-89 years) for the APM Set I. Data are presented in five age cohorts (total N = 352), including two older adult cohorts (65-79 years and 80-89 years), which allows age-standardized assessment. We also present data from a validated measure of premorbid intellectual ability, which was absent from previous standardizations of longer forms of the APM. In line with previous findings, a striking age-related decline was noted, beginning relatively early in adulthood and most marked amongst lower-scoring individuals. Older adults did not demonstrate difficulty with specific test items or make an increased proportion of specific errors. Sex was not a significant predictor of performance. The data set is of particular use in the neuropsychological assessment of older adults, given the known susceptibility of fluid intelligence to both the effects of normal ageing and acquired brain injury in older age. The results are discussed in light of theories of neurological ageing.

    Abstract Moyamoya Disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder which can have significant cognitive consequences. The aim of the current study was to describe comprehensively the domain-specific cognitive profile of adult patients with MMD and to assess whether this changes in the absence of recurrent stroke over long-term follow-up. Comprehensive neuropsychological assessment covering seven cognitive domains was conducted on 61 adult patients with MMD at baseline and then at up to 3 further time points during follow up (median=2.31, 4.87 and 7.12 years). Although 27 patients had had prior surgical revasculariation, none had surgery between neuropsychological assessments. Cognitive impairment was common. At baseline, impairment in executive functions was most frequent (57%), followed by performance IQ (36%), speed of information processing (31%) and visual memory (30%). We found that the neuropsychological profile remains broadly stable over long-term follow-up with no clear indication of improvement or significant decline. The pattern of impairment also did not differ depending on age of onset or whether there was a history of either prior stroke at presentation or revascularisation surgery at presentation.

    Abstract Since 2007, inpatient antibiotic stewardship programs have been required for all Joint Commission-accredited hospitals in the USA. Given the frequency of ambulatory antibiotic prescribing, in June 2019, the Joint Commission released new standards for antibiotic stewardship programs in ambulatory healthcare. This report identified five elements of performance (EPs): (1) Identify an antimicrobial stewardship leader, (2) establish an annual antimicrobial stewardship goal, (3) implement evidence-based practice guidelines related to the antimicrobial stewardship goal, (4) provide clinical staff with educational resources related to the antimicrobial stewardship goal, and (5) collect, analyze, and report data related to the antimicrobial stewardship goal. We provide eight practical tips for implementing the EPs for antimicrobial stewardship: (1) Identify a collaborative leadership team, (2) partner with informatics, (3) identify national prescribing patterns, (4) perform a needs assessment based on local prescribing patterns, (5) review guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of the selected condition, (6) identify systems-level interventions to help support providers in making appropriate treatment decisions, (7) prioritize individual EPs for your institution, and (8) re-assess local data to identify areas of strength and deficiency in local practice.

    Abstract Superficial siderosis of the CNS is a rare condition, caused by deposition of haemosiderin in the superficial layers of the CNS due to repeated chronic subarachnoid or intraventricular haemorrhage. Typically, the hindbrain structures, especially the cerebellum, are most affected. There is a surprising lack of studies investigating in detail the behavioural functioning of patients with such a condition. In this study, we document for the first time the cognitive, social and emotional processing of six patients with a confirmed clinical diagnosis of superficial siderosis. They were aged between 40 and 62 years, with a mean age of 50.2 years; four were male. We administered a comprehensive battery of general cognitive ability and social cognitive tasks. A review of MRI was also undertaken. The findings indicate selective cognitive impairments affecting speech production, visual recall memory and executive functions. In addition, a selective pattern of social dysfunction, affecting the ability to represent other people's mental states, was found. These behavioural dysfunctions are reported in the context of MRI-documented lesions maximally involving the cerebellum, in particular the superior vermis, as well as the medial and inferior frontal cortex. These results suggest that superficial siderosis is associated with a distinct pattern of cognitive and social impairments. They are consistent with the recently proposed role of the cerebellum as a modulator of cognitive, social and emotional functions.

    Abstract This study reports for the first time a selective impairment for simple addition in patient FS. Moreover, patient VP presented with a selective impairment for simple multiplication and patient DT with a selective impairment for simple subtraction. These findings are discussed in the context of two of the most influential models for the organisation of arithmetical facts in memory (Dehaene and Cohen, 1995, 1997, and Dagenbach and McCloskey, 1992). Dehaene and Cohen (1995, 1997) have proposed that dissociation between arithmetical facts result from a selective impairment to two different types of processing: rote verbal memory for multiplication and simple addition vs. quantity processing for subtraction and division. Dagenbach and McCloskey (1992) suggest dissociation between arithmetical facts result from a selective damage to segregated memory networks specific for each operation. We will argue that our findings are problematic for Dehaene's model and in good accord with McCloskey's view.

    Abstract Objective: To define the neuropsychological and neuroimaging characteristics of classical infratentorial superficial siderosis (iSS), a rare but disabling disorder defined by hemosiderin deposition affecting the superficial layers of the cerebellum, brainstem and spinal cord, usually associated with a slowly progressive neurological syndrome of deafness, ataxia and myelopathy.
    Methods: We present the detailed neuropsychological and neuroimaging findings in 16 patients with iSS (mean age 57 years; 6 female).
    Results: Cognitive impairment was present in 8/16 (50%) of patients: executive dysfunction was the most prevalent (44%), followed by impairment of visual recognition memory (27%); other cognitive domains were largely spared. Disease symptom duration was significantly correlated with the number of cognitive domains impaired (r = 0.59, p = 0.011). Mood disorders were also common (anxiety 62%, depression 38%, both 69%) but not associated with disease symptom duration. MRI findings revealed siderosis was not only in infratentorial brain regions, but also in characteristic widespread symmetrical supratentorial brain regions, independent of disease duration and degree of cognitive impairment. The presence of small vessel disease markers was very low and did not account for the cognitive impairment observed.
    Conclusion: Neuropsychological disturbances are common in iSS and need to be routinely investigated. The lack of association between the anatomical extent of hemosiderin and cognitive impairment or disease duration suggests that hemosiderin itself is not directly neurotoxic. Additional biomarkers of iSS disease severity and progression are needed for future research and clinical trials.

    Abstract Multiple biomarkers improve prognostication for long-term mortality in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, one-third of mortality after STEMI occurs within initial discharge. Our objective was to determine whether multiple biomarkers (glucose, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)) predict both short-term as long-term mortality in STEMI. We used a patient-pooled dataset of consecutive STEMI patients, with complete biomarkers, who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in two single centers (Amsterdam and Groningen). With a previously developed multimarker risk score, based on three biomarkers, patients were indicated as low-, intermediate- or high risk. Cumulative 4-year mortality was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with a log-rank test. We compared short-term and long-term mortality with a landmark set at 30 days because previous studies have shown that mortality largely occurs within 30 days. A total of 2,355 STEMI-patients were treated with primary PCI. The mortality rates in the low- (n = 1,531), intermediate- (n = 403) and high-risk (n = 421) groups were 4.8, 16.1, and 43.9 %, respectively. The differences were observed at a follow-up up to 30 days (log-rank p < 0.001) as well as after 30 days (log-rank p < 0.001). A multimarker risk score, based on admission levels of glucose, NT-proBNP, and eGFR identifies STEMI patients at low-, intermediate-, and high-risk for short-term and long-term mortality.

    Abstract Objective: Research on adults has identified an immigrant health advantage, known as the 'immigrant health paradox', by which migrants exhibit better health outcomes than natives. Is this health advantage transferred from parents to children in the form of higher birth weight relative to children of natives?
    Setting: Western Europe and Australia.
    Participants: We use data from nine birth cohorts participating in the LifeCycle Project, including five studies with large samples of immigrants' children: Etude Longitudinale Française depuis l'Enfance-France (N=12 494), the Raine Study-Australia (N=2283), Born in Bradford-UK (N=4132), Amsterdam Born Children and their Development study-Netherlands (N=4030) and the Generation R study-Netherlands (N=4877). We include male and female babies born to immigrant and native parents.
    Primary and secondary outcome measures: The primary outcome is birth weight measured in grams. Different specifications were tested: birth weight as a continuous variable including all births (DV1), the same variable but excluding babies born with over 4500 g (DV2), low birth weight as a 0-1 binary variable (1=birth weight below 2500 g) (DV3). Results using these three measures were similar, only results using DV1 are presented. Parental migration status is measured in four categories: both parents natives, both born abroad, only mother born abroad and only father born abroad.
    Results: Two patterns in children's birth weight by parental migration status emerged: higher birth weight among children of immigrants in France (+12 g, p<0.10) and Australia (+40 g, p<0.10) and lower birth weight among children of immigrants in the UK (-82 g, p<0.05) and the Netherlands (-80 g and -73 g, p<0.001) compared with natives' children. Smoking during pregnancy emerged as a mechanism explaining some of the birth weight gaps between children of immigrants and natives.
    Conclusion: The immigrant health advantage is not universally transferred to children in the form of higher birth weight in all host countries. Further research should investigate whether this cross-national variation is due to differences in immigrant communities, social and healthcare contexts across host countries.
