Cross-sectional association between posttraumatic stress and cognition is moderated by pulmonary functioning in world trade center responders
Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology and poorer pulmonary function are highly prevalent psychiatric and medical conditions. In the present study, we tested for the individual, additive, and modifying associations of PTSD symptomatology and pulmonary function […]
A cortical thinning signature to identify World Trade Center responders with possible dementia
Introduction: World Trade Center (WTC) responders have a high risk of early-onset cognitive impairment (CI), but little is known about the etiology including the extent to which CI in WTC responders is accompanied by cortical atrophy […]
White Matter Connectivity in Incident Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Diffusion Spectrum Imaging Study of World Trade Center Responders at Midlife
Background: Individuals who participated in response efforts at the World Trade Center (WTC) following 9/11/2001 are experiencing elevated incidence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) at midlife. Objective: We hypothesized that white matter connectivity measured using diffusion […]
Reduced cortical thickness in World Trade Center responders with cognitive impairment
Introduction: This study examined cortical thickness (CTX) in World Trade Center (WTC) responders with cognitive impairment (CI). Methods: WTC responders (N = 99) with/without CI, recruited from an epidemiologic study, completed a T1-MPRAGE protocol. CTX was […]
