Interspecific scaling patterns of talar articular surfaces within primates and their closest living relatives.
(Journal of anatomy, 2014-02)The articular facets of interosseous joints must transmit forces while maintaining relatively low stresses. To prevent overloading, joints that transmit higher forces should therefore have larger facet areas. The relative ... -
Low demographic variability in wild primate populations: fitness impacts of variation, covariation, and serial correlation in vital rates.
(Am Nat, 2011-01)In a stochastic environment, long-term fitness can be influenced by variation, covariation, and serial correlation in vital rates (survival and fertility). Yet no study of an animal population has parsed the contributions ... -
Memory and learning for a novel written style.
(Mem Cognit, 1998-07)Subjects read and recalled a series of five short stories in one of four plot and style combinations. The stories were written in one of two styles that consisted of opposing clause orders (i.e., independent-dependent vs. ... -
Metacognition in monkeys during an oculomotor task.
(J Exp Psychol Learn Mem Cogn, 2011-03)This study investigated whether rhesus monkeys show evidence of metacognition in a reduced, visual oculomotor task that is particularly suitable for use in fMRI and electrophysiology. The 2-stage task involved punctate visual ... -
Modulation of murine breast tumor vascularity, hypoxia and chemotherapeutic response by exercise.
(J Natl Cancer Inst, 2015-05)Exercise has been shown to improve postischemia perfusion of normal tissues; we investigated whether these effects extend to solid tumors. Estrogen receptor-negative (ER-, 4T1) and ER+ (E0771) tumor cells were implanted ... -
Pilot randomized trial on mindfulness training for smokers in young adult binge drinkers.
(BMC Complement Altern Med, 2013-09-03)BACKGROUND: We report results of a pilot study designed to test a novel smoking cessation intervention, Mindfulness Training for Smokers (MTS), in smokers age 18-29 years with regular episodes of binge drinking. Mindfulness ... -
Rapid modulation of sensory processing induced by stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2011-09)Humans are constantly confronted with environmental stimuli that conflict with task goals and can interfere with successful behavior. Prevailing theories propose the existence of cognitive control mechanisms that can suppress ... -
Reduced hippocampal and amygdala activity predicts memory distortions for trauma reminders in combat-related PTSD.
(J Psychiatr Res, 2011-05)Neurobiological models of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) suggest that altered activity in the medial temporal lobes (MTL) during encoding of traumatic memories contribute to the development and maintenance of the disorder. ... -
Relative growth of the limbs and trunk in sifakas: heterochronic, ecological, and functional considerations.
(Am J Phys Anthropol, 1993-12)Limb, trunk, and body weight measurements were obtained for growth series of Milne-Edwards's diademed sifaka, Propithecus diadema edwardsi, and the golden-crowned sifaka, Propithecus tattersalli. Similar measures were obtained ... -
Risk communication in clinical trials: a cognitive experiment and a survey.
(BMC Med Inform Decis Mak, 2010-09-27)BACKGROUND: A Royal Statistical Society Working Party recently recommended that "Greater use should be made of numerical, as opposed to verbal, descriptions of risk" in first-in-man clinical trials. This echoed the view ... -
Scan-rescan reliability of subcortical brain volumes derived from automated segmentation.
(Hum Brain Mapp, 2010-11)Large-scale longitudinal studies of regional brain volume require reliable quantification using automated segmentation and labeling. However, repeated MR scanning of the same subject, even if using the same scanner ... -
Sex, temperament, and family context: how the interaction of early factors differentially predict adolescent alcohol use and are mediated by proximal adolescent factors.
(Psychol Addict Behav, 2011-03)Adolescent alcohol use is common and has serious immediate and long-term ramifications. While concurrent individual and context factors are robustly associated with adolescent alcohol use, the influence of early childhood ... -
Signal transformations from cerebral cortex to superior colliculus for the generation of saccades.
(Vision Res, 2001)The ability of primates to make rapid and accurate saccadic eye movements for exploring the natural world is based on a neuronal system in the brain that has been studied extensively and is known to include multiple brain ... -
Sociocultural and socioeconomic influences on type 2 diabetes risk in overweight/obese African-American and Latino-American children and adolescents.
(J Obes, 2013)PURPOSE: It is unclear whether sociocultural and socioeconomic factors are directly linked to type 2 diabetes risk in overweight/obese ethnic minority children and adolescents. This study examines the relationships between ... -
Strategic allocation of attention reduces temporally predictable stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2012-09)Humans are able to continuously monitor environmental situations and adjust their behavioral strategies to optimize performance. Here we investigate the behavioral and brain adjustments that occur when conflicting stimulus ... -
The clinical impact of global coronal malalignment is underestimated in adult patients with thoracolumbar scoliosis.
(Spine deformity, 2020-02)STUDY DESIGN:Retrospective review of multicenter adult spine deformity (ASD) database. OBJECTIVES:A recent publication demonstrated that the laterality of the coronal offset is a key parameter that directly impacts postoperative ... -
The impact of the CONSORT statement on reporting of randomized clinical trials in psychiatry.
(Contemporary clinical trials, 2009-03)To determine whether the CONSORT recommendations influenced the quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in the field of psychiatry, we evaluated the quality of clinical trial reports before and after ... -
The impact of the developmental timing of trauma exposure on PTSD symptoms and psychosocial functioning among older adults.
(Dev Psychol, 2013-11)The present study examined the impact of the developmental timing of trauma exposure on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and psychosocial functioning in a large sample of community-dwelling older adults (N = ... -
The Improvement Readiness scale of the SCORE survey: a metric to assess capacity for quality improvement in healthcare.
(BMC health services research, 2018-12-17)BACKGROUND:Quality improvement efforts are inextricably linked to the readiness of healthcare workers to take them on. The current study aims to clarify the nature and measurement of Improvement Readiness (IR) by 1) examining ... -
The Relationship Between Invasive Nontyphoidal Salmonella Disease, Other Bacterial Bloodstream Infections, and Malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)BACKGROUND: Country-specific studies in Africa have indicated that Plasmodium falciparum is associated with invasive nontyphoidal Salmonella (iNTS) disease. We conducted a multicenter study in 13 sites in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, ...
