Early cannabis use, polygenic risk score for schizophrenia and brain maturation in adolescence
(American Medical Association, 2015-10)IMPORTANCE: Cannabis use during adolescence is known to increase the risk for schizophrenia in men. Sex differences in the dynamics of brain maturation during adolescence may be of particular importance with regard to vulnerability of the male brain ... -
Early nonparental care and social behavior in elementary school : support for a social group adaptation hypothesis
(Wiley, 2015-08-06)We examined the contribution of non-parental child care services received during the preschool years (i.e. between 5 months and 5 years) to the development of social behavior between kindergarten and the end of elementary school (i.e. between 6 and 12 ... -
EEG functional connectivity prior to sleepwalking : evidence of interplay between sleep and wakefulness
(Oxford University Press, 2017-04-01)Study Objectives: Although sleepwalking (somnambulism) affects up to 4% of adults, its pathophysiology remains poorly understood. Sleepwalking can be preceded by fluctuations in slow-wave sleep EEG signals, but the significance of these pre-episode ... -
Efects of ketamine optical isomers, psilocybin, psilocin and norpsilocin on time estimation and cognition in rats
(Springer, 2022-03-02)Rationale Ketamine and psilocybin belong to the rapid-acting antidepressants but they also produce psychotomimetic efects including timing distortion. It is currently debatable whether these are essential for their therapeutic actions. As depressed patients ... -
Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness and design on foot kinematics and plantar pressures in healthy people
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)Background Foot orthoses (FOs) have been widely prescribed to alter various lower limb disorders. FOs’ geometrical design and material properties have been shown to influence their impact on foot biomechanics. New technologies such as 3D printing ... -
Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness on muscle activity and plantar pressures in individuals with flexible flatfeet : a statistical non-parametric mapping study
(Elsevier, 2021-12-29)Background The 3D printing technology allows to produce custom shapes and add functionalities to foot orthoses which offers better options for the treatment of flatfeet. This study aimed to assess the effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness and/or ... -
Effect of albumin dialysis on intracranial pressure increase in pigs with acute liver failure: a randomized study
(2006-01)BACKGROUND: Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) worsens the outcome of acute liver failure (ALF). This study investigates the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and evaluates the therapeutic effect of albumin dialysis in ALF with use of the ... -
Effect of calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 particle release and cell surface expression of Tetherin
(2009)The HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu enhances virus particle release by counteracting a host factor that retains virions at the cell surface of infected cells. It was recently demonstrated that cellular protein BST2/CD317/Tetherin restricts HIV-1 release ... -
Effect of dietary sodium restriction on taste perception of sodium chloride
(1985)The effect of dietary sodium restriction on perceived intensity of and preference for the taste of salt was evaluated in 76 adults, 25-49 years, with diastolic blood pressure between 79-90 mmHg. Participants were volunteers from clinical Hypertension ... -
Effect of expertise on shoulder and upper limb kinematics, electromyography, and estimated muscle forces during a lifting task
(SAGE, 2020-11-25)Objective To highlight the working strategies used by expert manual handlers compared with novice manual handlers, based on recordings of shoulder and upper limb kinematics, electromyography (EMG), and estimated muscle forces during a lifting ... -
The effect of intracortical bone pin on shoulder kinematics during dynamic activities
(Taylor and Francis, 2019-06-30)Intracortical bone pins are introduced as gold standard for analysing skeletal motion because of eliminating soft tissue artefact. However, excluding this methodological error might be in cost of intervening movement pattern by local anaesthesia and ... -
Effect of low dose robotic-gait training on walking capacity in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)Objective Robotic gait training presents a promising training modality. Nevertheless, evidence supporting the efficacy of such therapy in children with cerebral palsy remains insufficient. This study aimed to assess the effect of robotic gait training ... -
Effect of portacaval anastomosis on glutamine synthetase protein and gene expression in brain, liver and skeletal muscle
(1999)The effects of chronic liver insufficiency resulting from end-to-side portacaval anastomosis (PCA) on glutamine synthetase (GS) activities, protein and gene expression were studied in brain, liver and skeletal muscle of male adult rats. Four weeks ... -
The effect of social functioning and living arrangement on treatment intent, specialist assessment and treatment uptake for hepatitis C virus infection among people who inject drugs: the ETHOS study
(Elsevier, 2015-11)Background: The objective was to assess social functioning and its association with treatment intent, specialist assessment and treatment uptake for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection among people with a history of injecting drug use. Methods: ETHOS is ... -
The effect of tissue geometry on the activation recovery interval of atrial myocytes
(Elsevier, 2008-08-13)The propagation of electric activity inside a realistically-shaped, thick-walled model of the atria was studied. The membrane kinetics was based on the formulations of Courtemanche, Ramirez and Nattel. In spite of the assumed uniformity of all ... -
The effectiveness of dance therapy as an adjunct to rehabilitation of adults with a physical disability
(Frontiers media, 2020-08-26)Background/Objective: To determine the added benefit on participants’ mobility and participation of a 12-week dance therapy (DT) intervention combined with usual physical rehabilitation for adults with varied physical disabilities. Their appreciation ... -
The effectiveness of scoliosis screening programs: methods for systematic review and expert panel recommendations formulation
(2013-07-24)Background: Literature on scoliosis screening is vast, however because of the observational nature of available data and methodological flaws, data interpretation is often complex, leading to incomplete and sometimes, somewhat misleading conclusions. ... -
The effects of a strong desire to void on gait for incontinent and continent older community-dwelling women at risk of falls
(Wiley, 2019-11-25)Aims The fall rate in urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) and mixed UI (MUI) older women is higher when compared with that of continent women. One hypothesis is that a strong desire to void (SDV) could alter gait parameters and therefore increase the ... -
Effects of delaying binge drinking on adolescent brain development : a longitudinal neuroimaging study
(BMC, 2016)Background: Onset of alcohol use by 14 relative to 21 years of age strongly predicts elevated risk for severe alcohol use problems, with 27% versus 4% of individuals exhibiting alcohol dependence within 10 years of onset. What remains unclear is whether ... -
Effects of dopamine receptor antagonism and amphetamine-induced psychomotor sensitization on sign- and goal-tracking after extended training
(Elsevier, 2021-03-17)The dopamine system is important for incentive salience attribution, where motivational value is assigned to conditioned cues that predict appetitive reinforcers. However, the role of dopamine in this process may change with extended training. We tested ...
