Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) co-occupations may impact parent-infant outcomes. The main objective of this study was to explore relationships between parent and infant outcomes based on whether sensory-based interventions (co-occupations) occurred most often between parent-infant dyads or provider/volunteer-infant dyads. Thirty-five families received the Supporting and Enhancing NICU Sensory Experiences (SENSE) program, which includes education…

CONCLUSIONS: Eye-tracking-based attention bias modification is an acceptable and effective treatment option for social anxiety disorder.

Insomnia is associated with fatigue, but it is unclear whether response to cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia is altered in individuals with co-occurring symptoms of insomnia and chronic fatigue. This is a secondary analysis using data from 1717 participants with self-reported insomnia in a community-based randomized controlled trial of digital cognitive behaviour therapy for insomnia…

CONCLUSIONS: Cognitive reappraisal plays a mediating role between symptoms and anxiety problems in children with ADHD, while sex regulates the relationship of symptoms with cognitive reappraisal and anxiety problems in these children.

CONCLUSIONS: Unbound interstitial brain concentration-time profiles of alprazolam corresponded to changes in β activity, peak saccade velocity, mood improvement, cognitive speed slowing, and DSST scores. Pharmacodynamic models for these endpoints suggest that alprazolam IR maximal effects on cognitive slowing, cognitive impairment, sedation, and mood improvement occur sequentially following the brain concentration-time profile.

CONCLUSION: IL1β induced the apoptotic pathway and minor necroptosis. And ER stress also plays a role in the occurrence of necroptosis in CRSwNP.

Childhood maltreatment has been suggested to have an adverse impact on neurodevelopment, including microstructural brain abnormalities. Existing neuroimaging findings remain inconsistent and heterogeneous. We aim to explore the most prominent and robust cortical thickness (CTh) and gray matter volume (GMV) alterations associated with childhood maltreatment. A systematic search on relevant studies was conducted through September…

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway has essential roles in maintaining homeostasis of various tissues by regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. Deregulation of the EGFR signaling pathway is associated with various chronic diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Cigarette smoke (CS) is known to activate EGFR, which is linked to chronic obstructive pulmonary…

The characterization of bacterial strains with efficient root colonization ability and the mechanisms responsible for their efficient colonization is critical for the identification and application of beneficial bacteria. In this study, we found that Burkholderia strain B23 exhibited a strong niche differentiation between the rhizosphere and rhizoplane (a niche with more abundant easy-to-use nutrients but…

Cowpea, Vigna unguiculata L. Walp., is a diploid warm-season legume of critical importance as both food and fodder in sub-Saharan Africa. This species is also grown in Northern Africa, Europe, Latin America, North America, and East to Southeast Asia. To capture the genomic diversity of domesticates of this important legume, de novo genome assemblies were…

CONCLUSIONS: Pain, fatigue, anxiety, and depression appear to be long-term sequelae of COVID-19 and can affect quality of life. High VAS and anxiety levels were found to be associated with long-term fatigue.

CONCLUSION: These consensus statements provide up-to-date, comprehensive recommendations for the management of pregnancy in patients with IBD. This will enable a high standard of care for patients with IBD across all clinical settings.
