Objectives
As the available studies suggest, inconsistently, that alcoholabuse may be associated with greater cognitive impairment in schizophrenia patients, we compared cognitive functioning among matched schizophrenia patients with and without comorbid alcohol abuse, and matched healthy controls.
Methods
We applied the Milan Overall Dementia Assessment (MODA) cognitive test battery to compare cognitive functioning in patients with schizophrenia meeting DSM-IV criteria with (n = 17) or without (n = 40) lifetime alcohol abuse, verified with the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST), and patients versus healthy controls (n = 21) matched for age, sex, education and psychosis ratings.
Results
Cognitive performance was greatly impaired in both patientgroups compared to healthy controls, but only 6.2% more among patients with than without a history of alcohol-abuse. MODA and MAST scores were highly and inversely correlated.
Conclusions
Cognitive functioning in schizophrenia patients was substantially lower than in healthy subjects, as expected, but only slightly more impaired with a lifetime history of alcohol abuse

No full textAuthor Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers

However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
