Differential developmental trajectories of magnetic susceptibility in human brain gray and white matter over the lifespan.
(Hum Brain Mapp, 2014-06)
As indicated by several recent studies, magnetic susceptibility of the brain is influenced
mainly by myelin in the white matter and by iron deposits in the deep nuclei. Myelination
and iron deposition in the brain evolve ...
Internal languages of retrieval: the bilingual encoding of memories for the personal past.
(Mem Cognit, 2000-06)
In contrast to most research on bilingual memory that focuses on how words in either
lexicon are mapped onto memory for objects and concepts, we focus on memory for events
in the personal past. Using a word-cue technique ...
Effects of task instruction on autobiographical memory specificity in young and older adults.
(Memory, 2014)
Older adults tend to retrieve autobiographical information that is overly general
(i.e., not restricted to a single event, termed the overgenerality effect) relative
to young adults' specific memories. A vast majority of ...
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 ...
Safety and efficacy of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir in black patients with hepatitis C virus infection: A retrospective analysis of phase 3 data.
(Hepatology, 2016-02)
UNLABELLED: Black patients chronically infected with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus
(HCV) have historically had lower rates of response to interferon-based treatment
than patients of other races. In the phase 3 ION program, ...
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 ...
Adherence to diabetes guidelines for screening, physical activity and medication and onset of complications and death.
(J Diabetes Complications, 2015-11)
AIMS: Analyze relationships between adherence to guidelines for diabetes care - regular
screening; physical activity; and medication - and diabetes complications and mortality.
METHODS: Outcomes were onset of congestive ...
Effect of Prior Anti-VEGF Injections on the Risk of Retained Lens Fragments and Endophthalmitis after Cataract Surgery in the Elderly.
(Ophthalmology, 2016-02)
PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of prior intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial
growth factor (VEGF) injections on surgical and postoperative complication rates associated
with cataract surgery in a nationally representative ...
Relation between BMI and diabetes mellitus and its complications among US older adults.
(South Med J, 2015-01)
OBJECTIVES: This study examined relations between elevated body mass index (BMI) and
time to diagnosis with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its complications among older
adults in the United States. METHODS: Data came from ...
Causes of the change in the rates of mortality and severe complications of diabetes mellitus: 1992-2012.
(Med Care, 2015-03)
OBJECTIVE: To quantify the causes of the changes in the rates of mortality and select
severe complications of diabetes mellitus, type 2 (T2D) among the elderly between
1992 and 2012. RESEARCH DESIGN: A retrospective cohort ...
