Event-related potential correlates of impaired visuospatial working memory in schizophrenia

Previous studies have reported that patients with schizophrenia demonstrate impaired performance during working memory (WM) tasks. The current study aimed to determine whether WM impairments in schizophrenia are accompanied by reduced slow wave (SW) activity during on-line maintenance of mnemonic information. Event-related potentials were obtained from patients with schizophrenia and well controls as they performed a visuospatial delayed response task. On 50% of trials, a distractor stimulus was introduced during the delay. Compared with controls, patients with schizophrenia produced less SW memory negativity, particularly over the right hemisphere, together with reduced frontal enhancement of SW memory negativity in response to distraction. The results indicate that patients with schizophrenia generate less maintenance phase neuronal activity during WM performance, especially under conditions of distraction.

Papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential: reliability of diagnosis and outcome

OBJECTIVE To determine the ability of pathologists to reproducibly diagnose a newly defined lesion, i.e. the papillary urothelial neoplasm of low malignant potential (PUNLMP) using the published criteria, defined by the 1998 World Health Organisation/International Society of Urological Pathology (WHO/ISUP) classification system; in addition, debate remains about the clinical behaviour of these lesions, thus the rates of recurrence and progression of PUNLMP lesions were assessed and compared with low-grade papillary urothelial carcinomas (LG-PUC) and high-grade (HG-PUC) over a 10-year follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS Forty-nine cases of superficial bladder cancer (G1-3 pTa) representing an initial diagnosis of transitional cell carcinoma made in 1990 were identified and re-graded using the 1998 WHO/ISUP classification by two pathologists. Inter-observer agreement was assessed using Cohen weighted kappa statistics. After reclassification the clinical follow-up was reviewed retrospectively, and episodes of recurrence and progression recorded. RESULTS The inter-observer agreement was moderate, regardless of whether one (kappa 0.45) or two (kappa 0.60) pathologists were used to grade these lesions. Re-classification identified 12 PUNLMP, 28 LG-PUC and nine HG-PUC. PUNLMP lesions recurred in 25% (3/12) of cases; no progression was documented. Recurrence rates were 75% (21/28) and 67% (6/9) for LG- and HG-PUC, respectively, and progression rates were 4% (1/28) and 22% (2/9). CONCLUSION The 1998 WHO/ISUP classification of urothelial neoplasms can be reproducibly applied by pathologists, with a moderate level of agreement. There is evidence that PUNLMP lesions have a more indolent clinical behaviour than urothelial carcinomas. However, the risk of recurrence and progression remains, and clinical monitoring of these patients is important.

Genetic influences on cognitive processes associated with distraction: An event-related potential study of the slow wave

The efficiency of inhibitory control processes has been proposed as a mechanism constraining working-memory capacity. In order to investigate genetic influences on processes that may reflect interference control, event-related potential (ER-P) activity recorded at frontal sites, during distracting and nondistracting conditions of a working-memory task, in a sample of 509 twin pairs was examined. The ERP component of interest was the slow wave (SW). Considerable overlap in source of genetic influence was found, with a common genetic factor accounting for 37 - 45% of SW variance irrespective of condition. However, 3 - 8 % of SW variance in the distracting condition was influenced by an independent genetic source. These results suggest that neural responses to irrelevant and distracting information, that may disrupt working-memory performance, differ in a fundamental way from perceptual and memory-based processing in a working-memory task. Furthermore, the results are consistent with the view that cognition is a complex genetic trait influenced by numerous genes of small influence.
