Cross-cultural variability of component processes in autobiographical remembering: Japan, Turkey, and the USA.
(Memory, 2007-07)
Although the underlying mechanics of autobiographical memory may be identical across
cultures, the processing of information differs. Undergraduates from Japan, Turkey,
and the USA rated 30 autobiographical memories on 15 ...
Long-term dynamics of death rates of emphysema, asthma, and pneumonia and improving air quality.
(Int J Chron Obstruct Pulmon Dis, 2014)
BACKGROUND: The respiratory tract is a major target of exposure to air pollutants,
and respiratory diseases are associated with both short- and long-term exposures.
We hypothesized that improved air quality in North Carolina ...
Use of Salvia divinorum in a nationally representative sample.
(The American journal of drug and alcohol abuse, 2012-01)
Salvia divinorum has known hallucinogenic effects and is legal in most parts of the
United States. Given that this psychoactive substance has a potential of misuse and
abuse, further data regarding the clinical and psychosocial ...
Mental Health and Substance Use Among Patients in a North Carolina HIV Clinic.
(N C Med J, 2015-07)
BACKGROUND: The HIV/AIDS epidemic is a significant public health concern in North
Carolina, and previous research has pointed to elevated mental health distress and
substance use among HIV-infected populations, which may ...
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 ...
Temporal dynamics of host molecular responses differentiate symptomatic and asymptomatic influenza a infection.
(PLoS Genet, 2011-08)
Exposure to influenza viruses is necessary, but not sufficient, for healthy human
hosts to develop symptomatic illness. The host response is an important determinant
of disease progression. In order to delineate host molecular ...
Antibiotic overuse for acute respiratory tract infections in Sri Lanka: a qualitative study of outpatients and their physicians.
(BMC Fam Pract, 2018-03-01)
BACKGROUND: Acute respiratory tract infections (ARTIs) are a common reason for antibiotic
overuse worldwide. We previously showed that over 80% of outpatients presenting to
a tertiary care hospital in Sri Lanka ...

(PLoS One, 2013)
BACKGROUND: Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) re-emerged in Sri Lanka in late 2006 after a
40-year hiatus. We sought to identify and characterize acute chikungunya infection
(CHIK) in patients presenting with acute undifferentiated ...
The spatiotemporal dynamics of autobiographical memory: neural correlates of recall, emotional intensity, and reliving.
(Cereb Cortex, 2008-01)
We sought to map the time course of autobiographical memory retrieval, including brain
regions that mediate phenomenological experiences of reliving and emotional intensity.
Participants recalled personal memories to auditory ...
Brain activity during episodic retrieval of autobiographical and laboratory events: an fMRI study using a novel photo paradigm.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2004-11)
Functional neuroimaging studies of episodic memory retrieval generally measure brain
activity while participants remember items encountered in the laboratory ("controlled
laboratory condition") or events from their own life ...
