PhenX RISING: real world implementation and sharing of PhenX measures.
(BMC Med Genomics, 2014-03-20)
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the PhenX RISING network
and the site experiences in the implementation of PhenX measures into ongoing population-based
genomic studies. METHODS: Eighty PhenX measures ...
The frequency of involuntary autobiographical memories and future thoughts in relation to daydreaming, emotional distress, and age.
(Conscious Cogn, 2015-11)
We introduce a new scale, the Involuntary Autobiographical Memory Inventory (IAMI),
for measuring the frequency of involuntary autobiographical memories and involuntary
future thoughts. Using the scale in relation to other ...
Effects of the dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet, exercise, and caloric restriction on neurocognition in overweight adults with high blood pressure.
(Hypertension, 2010-06)
High blood pressure increases the risks of stroke, dementia, and neurocognitive dysfunction.
Although aerobic exercise and dietary modifications have been shown to reduce blood
pressure, no randomized trials have examined ...
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 ...
A pilot randomized controlled trial with paroxetine for subthreshold PTSD in Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom era veterans.
(Psychiatry Res, 2013-04-30)
Subthreshold posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with increased risk
for suicidality, depression, and functional impairment. We thus conducted a small
(N=12) pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) with paroxetine ...
Platelet aggregation and mental stress induced myocardial ischemia: Results from the Responses of Myocardial Ischemia to Escitalopram Treatment (REMIT) study.
(Am Heart J, 2015-04)
BACKGROUND: Mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI) is common in patients
with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and associated with a poorer cardiovascular prognosis.
Platelet hyperactivity is an important factor in ...
Participant, rater, and computer measures of coherence in posttraumatic stress disorder.
(J Abnorm Psychol, 2016-01)
We examined the coherence of trauma memories in a trauma-exposed community sample
of 30 adults with and 30 without posttraumatic stress disorder. The groups had similar
categories of traumas and were matched on multiple ...
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 ...
Age mediation of frontoparietal activation during visual feature search.
(Neuroimage, 2014-11-15)
Activation of frontal and parietal brain regions is associated with attentional control
during visual search. We used fMRI to characterize age-related differences in frontoparietal
activation in a highly efficient feature ...
Amygdala volume changes in posttraumatic stress disorder in a large case-controlled veterans group.
(Arch Gen Psychiatry, 2012-11)
CONTEXT: Smaller hippocampal volumes are well established in posttraumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), but the relatively few studies of amygdala volume in PTSD have produced
equivocal results. OBJECTIVE: To assess a large cohort ...
