Implementation and randomized controlled trial evaluation of universal postnatal nurse home visiting.
(Am J Public Health, 2014-02)
OBJECTIVES: We evaluated whether a brief, universal, postnatal nurse home-visiting
intervention can be implemented with high penetration and fidelity, prevent emergency
health care services, and promote positive parenting ...
Activation in mesolimbic and visuospatial neural circuits elicited by smoking cues: evidence from functional magnetic resonance imaging.
(Am J Psychiatry, 2002-06)
OBJECTIVE: The authors sought to increase understanding of the brain mechanisms involved
in cigarette addiction by identifying neural substrates modulated by visual smoking
cues in nicotine-deprived smokers. METHOD: Event-related ...
Trade-offs between cancer and other diseases: do they exist and influence longevity?
(Rejuvenation Res, 2010-08)
Relationships between aging, disease risks, and longevity are not yet well understood.
For example, joint increases in cancer risk and total survival observed in many human
populations and some experimental aging studies ...
Narrative centrality and negative affectivity: independent and interactive contributors to stress reactions.
(J Exp Psychol Gen, 2014-06)
Reactions to stressful negative events have long been studied using approaches based
on either the narrative interpretation of the event or the traits of the individual.
Here, we integrate these 2 approaches by ...
Hybrid de novo genome assembly and centromere characterization of the gray mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus).
(BMC biology, 2017-11-16)
The de novo assembly of repeat-rich mammalian genomes using only high-throughput short
read sequencing data typically results in highly fragmented genome assemblies that
limit downstream applications. Here, we present an ...
Discordance in Grading Methods of Aortic Stenosis by Pre-Cardiopulmonary Bypass Transesophageal Echocardiography.
(Anesth Analg, 2016-04)
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines define severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) as an aortic
valve area (AVA) ≤1.0 cm by the continuity equation and mean gradient (ΔPm) ≥ 40 mm
Hg. However, these measurements can be discordant when ...
Joint eQTL assessment of whole blood and dura mater tissue from individuals with Chiari type I malformation.
(BMC Genomics, 2015-01-22)
BACKGROUND: Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) play an important role in the
regulation of gene expression. Gene expression levels and eQTLs are expected to vary
from tissue to tissue, and therefore multi-tissue analyses ...
A neural biomarker of psychological vulnerability to future life stress.
(Neuron, 2015-02-04)
We all experience a host of common life stressors such as the death of a family member,
medical illness, and financial uncertainty. While most of us are resilient to such
stressors, continuing to function normally, for a ...
Effect of diabetes mellitus on giant cell arteritis.
(J Neuroophthalmol, 2015-06)
BACKGROUND: To determine if Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is protective against giant
cell arteritis (GCA) and to estimate the incidence of GCA diagnosis from Medicare
claims. METHODS: Medicare 5% claims files from 1991 ...
Less wiring, more firing: low-performing older adults compensate for impaired white matter with greater neural activity.
(Cereb Cortex, 2015-04)
The reliable neuroimaging finding that older adults often show greater activity (over-recruitment)
than younger adults is typically attributed to compensation. Yet, the neural mechanisms
of over-recruitment in older adults ...
