Factors associated with driving simulator performance in vocational drivers with HIV
Neurocognitive symptoms persist in many people living with HIV (PLWH). Safe driving practices are dependent on intact cognition. Research in the general driving population suggests that PLWH with neurocognitive impairment (NCI) perform worse on driving assessment tasks than cognitively intact PLWH. We explored the relationship between HIV status, NCI, and driving ability in vocational drivers. Two-hundred-and-four male drivers [68 drivers with HI…
Cognitive Performance, as well as Depression, Alcohol Use, and Gender, predict Anti-Retroviral Therapy Adherence in a South African Cohort of People with HIV and Comorbid Major Depressive Disorder
Depression and cognitive impairment, which commonly coexist in people with HIV (PWH), have been identified as potential barriers to optimal antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence. We investigated associations between cognitive performance, depression (as well as other sociodemographic, psychosocial and psychiatric variables) and ART adherence in a South African cohort of PWH with comorbid major depressive disorder (MDD). Cognitive performance and…

Prominence of hyperarousal symptoms explains variability of sleep disruption in posttraumatic stress disorder
These preliminary findings, although requiring replication in larger samples, suggest an important association between hyperarousal symptoms and sleep quality in PTSD, and may help explain why some PTSD-diagnosed individuals experience markedly disrupted sleep whereas others do not.

Characterization of HIV-Associated Neurocognitive Disorders Among Individuals Starting Antiretroviral Therapy in South Africa
Stress-Induced Impairment of Spatial Navigation in Females
Earlier work predicted that the physiological effects of an acute stressor disrupt a neurological system underlying cognitive-map (CM) guided navigation, but leave intact systems underlying landmark (LM) guided navigation. This prediction has been only partially confirmed. Furthermore, no-one has investigated sex differences in the relations between acute stress and spatial navigation, even though stress affects verbal memory and decision-making …
