Steps to Health employee weight management randomized control trial: short-term follow-up results.
(J Occup Environ Med, 2015-02)
OBJECTIVE: To present the short-term follow-up findings of the Steps to Health study,
a randomized trial to evaluate the effectiveness of two employee weight management
programs offered within Duke University and the Health ...
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 ...
A community-based intervention increases physical activity and reduces obesity in school-age children in North Carolina.
(Child Obes, 2015-06)
BACKGROUND: Community-based interventions are promising approaches to obesity prevention,
but few studies have prospectively evaluated them. The aim of this study was to evaluate
a natural experiment—a community intervention ...
Cross-hemispheric collaboration and segregation associated with task difficulty as revealed by structural and functional connectivity.
(J Neurosci, 2015-05-27)
Although it is known that brain regions in one hemisphere may interact very closely
with their corresponding contralateral regions (collaboration) or operate relatively
independent of them (segregation), the specific brain ...
Pain Phenotypes and Associated Clinical Risk Factors Following Traumatic Amputation: Results from Veterans Integrated Pain Evaluation Research (VIPER).
(Pain medicine (Malden, Mass.), 2016-01)
OBJECTIVE:To define clinical phenotypes of postamputation pain and identify markers
of risk for the development of chronic pain. DESIGN:Cross-sectional study of military
service members enrolled 3-18 months after traumatic ...
Allopregnanolone Levels Are Inversely Associated with Self-Reported Pain Symptoms in U.S. Iraq and Afghanistan-Era Veterans: Implications for Biomarkers and Therapeutics.
(Pain Med, 2016-01)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Pain symptoms are common among Iraq/Afghanistan-era veterans,
many of whom continue to experience persistent pain symptoms despite multiple pharmacological
interventions. Preclinical data suggest ...
Inhibition-Induced Forgetting Results from Resource Competition between Response Inhibition and Memory Encoding Processes.
(J Neurosci, 2015-08-26)
UNLABELLED: Response inhibition is a key component of executive control, but its relation
to other cognitive processes is not well understood. We recently documented the "inhibition-induced
forgetting effect": no-go cues ...
Is chronic asthma associated with shorter leukocyte telomere length at midlife?
(Am J Respir Crit Care Med, 2014-08-15)
RATIONALE: Asthma is prospectively associated with age-related chronic diseases and
mortality, suggesting the hypothesis that asthma may relate to a general, multisystem
phenotype of accelerated aging. OBJECTIVES: To test ...
Simultaneous transcranial magnetic stimulation and single-neuron recording in alert non-human primates.
(Nat Neurosci, 2014-08)
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a widely used, noninvasive method for stimulating
nervous tissue, yet its mechanisms of effect are poorly understood. Here we report
new methods for studying the influence of TMS ...
Characterization of subtle brain abnormalities in a mouse model of Hedgehog pathway antagonist-induced cleft lip and palate.
(PLoS One, 2014)
Subtle behavioral and cognitive deficits have been documented in patient cohorts with
orofacial clefts (OFCs). Recent neuroimaging studies argue that these traits are associated
with structural brain abnormalities but have ...
