The dynamics of proactive and reactive cognitive control processes in the human brain.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2014-05)
In this study, we leveraged the high temporal resolution of EEG to examine the neural
mechanisms underlying the flexible regulation of cognitive control that unfolds over
different timescales. We measured behavioral and ...
Validation and Identification of Invasive Salmonella Serotypes in Sub-Saharan Africa by Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2016-03-15)
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi and nontyphoidal Salmonella (NTS) cause the majority
of bloodstream infections in sub-Saharan Africa; however, serotyping is rarely performed.
We validated a multiplex polymerase chain reaction ...
The frequency of voluntary and involuntary autobiographical memories across the life span.
(Mem Cognit, 2009-07)
In the present study, ratings of the memory of an important event from the previous
week on the frequency of voluntary and involuntary retrieval, belief in its accuracy,
visual imagery, auditory imagery, setting, emotional ...
Action video game playing is associated with improved visual sensitivity, but not alterations in visual sensory memory.
(Atten Percept Psychophys, 2013-08)
Action video game playing has been experimentally linked to a number of perceptual
and cognitive improvements. These benefits are captured through a wide range of psychometric
tasks and have led to the proposition that action ...
An experience-sampling study of depressive symptoms and their social context.
(J Nerv Ment Dis, 2011-06)
Both clinical and subclinical depression are associated with social impairment; however,
few studies have examined the impact of social contact in the daily lives of people
with depressive symptoms. The current study used ...
Beta2-adrenergic receptor gene polymorphisms as systemic determinants of healthy aging in an evolutionary context.
(Mech Ageing Dev, 2010-05)
The Gln(27)Glu polymorphism but not the Arg(16)Gly polymorphism of the beta2-adrenergic
receptor (ADRB2) gene appears to be associated with a broad range of aging-associated
phenotypes, including cancers at different sites, ...
Genome-wide analyses of exonic copy number variants in a family-based study point to novel autism susceptibility genes.
(PLoS Genet, 2009-06)
The genetics underlying the autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) is complex and remains
poorly understood. Previous work has demonstrated an important role for structural
variation in a subset of cases, but has lacked the resolution ...
Initiation of antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected adults with skin complaints in northern Tanzania.
(Int J Dermatol, 2015-01)
Abnormal skin findings are identified in over 90% of human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV)-infected persons globally. A prospective cohort study of HIV-infected patients
with skin complaints commencing antiretroviral therapy ...
Clinical characteristics and 12-month outcomes of patients with valvular and non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Kenya.
(PLoS One, 2017)
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major contributor to the global cardiovascular
disease burden. The clinical profile and outcomes of AF patients with valvular heart
diseases in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) have not ...
Host gene expression classifiers diagnose acute respiratory illness etiology.
(Sci Transl Med, 2016-01-20)
Acute respiratory infections caused by bacterial or viral pathogens are among the
most common reasons for seeking medical care. Despite improvements in pathogen-based
diagnostics, most patients receive inappropriate antibiotics. ...
