Decreased glutamate transporter (GLT-1) expression in frontal cortex of rats with acute liver failure
(1997-07)It has been suggested that reduced astrocytic uptake of neuronally released glutamate contributes to the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy in acute liver failure. In order to further address this issue, the recently cloned and sequenced astrocytic ... -
Decreased progenitor TCF1 + T-cells correlate with COVID-19 disease severity
(Nature research, 2024-05-03)COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, can lead to a severe inflammatory disease characterized by significant lymphopenia. However, the underlying cause for the depletion of T-cells in COVID-19 patients remains incompletely understood. In this study, we ... -
The dementia-associated APOE ε4 allele is not associated with REM sleep behavior disorder
(Elsevier, 2016-10-13)The present study aimed to examine whether the APOE ε4 allele, associated with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and possibly with dementia in Parkinson's disease (PD), is also associated with idiopathic rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (RBD). ... -
Development and disease of the photoreceptor cilium
(2009)Primary cilia are microtubule-rich hair-like extensions protruding from the surface of most post-mitotic cells. They act as sensory organelles that help interpret various environmental cues. Mutations in genes encoding proteins involved in ciliogenesis ... -
Development and pilot testing of a measure of potential barriers and facilitators to the use of a standardized assessment tool
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins & Wiley, 2018)Introduction: Standardized assessment tools (SATs) are essential to evidence-based assessment practices. Identifying what impedes clinicians' use of a SAT can help tailor strategies promoting its use in clinical practice. This article presents the ... -
Development and validation of the treatment expectations in chronic pain scale
Development and validation of the chronic pain treatment expectations questionnaire
(Wiley, 2019-04-15)Objectives: To develop and examine the psychometric properties of the Treatment Expectations in Chronic Pain (TEC) scale, a brief measure of treatment expectations of chronic non-cancer pain treatment. Design: A cross-sectional study design was ... -
Development of a reflective learning method to support health and safety of adolescents with learning difficulties enrolled in a pre-work practicum
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-07-11)The challenges of youth employment include providing appropriate job training and safe working conditions for women and men. Adolescents enrolled in the Work-oriented Training Path (WOTP) complete a practicum as part of their vocational preparation ... -
Development of a tool to screen risk of literacy delays in French-speaking children: PHOPHLO
Développement d’un outil pour le dépistage du risque de retards dans l’alphabétisation chez les enfants francophones : PHOPHLO
(Orthophonie et Audiologie Canada, 2017-12)Literacy is crucial for success, both professionally and personally. Oral language skills are closely related to literacy development in children. When a child has weak oral language skills, they will have difficulty achieving reading and writing ... -
Development, implementation and assessment of a concussion education programme for high school student-athletes
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)Although experts have noted that adolescent athletes should be educated about concussions to improve their safety, there is no agreement on the most effective strategy to disseminate concussion education. The purpose of this study was to develop, ... -
Developmental associations between conduct problems and expressive language in early childhood : a population-based study
Conduct problems and language
(Springer, 2016-08)Conduct problems have been associated with poor language development, however the direction of this association in early childhood remains unclear. This study examined the longitudinal directional associations between conduct problems and expressive ... -
Developmental origins of chronic physical aggression: an international perspective on using singletons, twins and epigenetics
(SAGE, 2015-09-08)This chapter takes an international and historical perspective to discuss the present state of knowledge on the developmental origins of physical aggression and its implications for the prevention of chronic physical aggression. An increasing number ... -
The dichotomous pattern of IL-12R and IL-23R expression elucidates the role of IL-12 and IL-23 in inflammation
(Public Library of Science, 2014-02-21)IL-12 and IL-23 cytokines respectively drive Th1 and Th17 type responses. Yet, little is known regarding the biology of these receptors. As the IL-12 and IL-23 receptors share a common subunit, it has been assumed that these receptors are co-expressed. ... -
Dietary intake at 9 years and subsequent body mass index in adolescent boys and girls: a study of monozygotic twin pairs
Diet and weight status in adolescent twins
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-02)There is a lack of evidence pointing to specific dietary elements related to weight gain and obesity prevention in childhood and adulthood. Dietary intake and obesity are both inherited and culturally transmitted, but most prospective studies on the ... -
