摘要: Gulf War (GW) deployed veterans have reported health symptoms since returning from the war that suggest dysfunction of central nervous system (CNS). These include memory and concentration difficulties, fatigue, headaches. Leading hypotheses for etiology these cognitive complaints psychological factors and/or exposures to chemicals with neurotoxic properties. In this study, functioning was compared in treatment-seeking GW-deployed a non–GW-deployed veteran control group. Results indicated performed significantly worse than comparison group on tests attention, visuospatial skills, visual memory, mood. who taking pyridostigmine bromide (PB) without PB use executive tasks. Treatment-seeking diagnoses posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) did not differ test measures PTSD. No interaction effect PTSD found.
