Background and purpose: A likely explanation for the increase in lens fluorescence with aging and the acceleration of this process in patients with diabetes, is that lens proteins are altered by non-enzymatic glycosylation and the further steps of the Maillard reaction. Thus, the lens fluorescence intensity appears to represent a cumulative index of glycemia over the entire lifetime of the subj...

Abstract Introduction Up to 80% of people with psychosis have insomnia. While insomnia worsens psychotic symptoms and functioning, treating may improve functioning recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is an effective treatment, but there limited research on CBT-I in living psychosis. We developed guidelines materials conducting evaluated actigraphy sleep diary-measured ou...

Enhanced protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) activity correlates with the development of cancer and other proliferative diseases. The hypothesis that PTK inhibitors may be of value in the treatment of cancer led to the systematic synthesis of selective tyrosine phosphorylation inhibitors (tyrphostins) that show in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity. This review will provide an overview of research...

To investigate whether or not aging of nonhuman primates is accompanied by a region-specific neuron loss in the hippocampal formation, we used the optical fractionator technique to obtain stereological estimates of unilateral neuron numbers of the hippocampi of eight young (0-4 years) and five aged (18-31 years) male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Our results show a preservation of neurons (m...

Ku Y. Feature-based and object-based attention orientation during short-term memory maintenance. J Neurophysiol 114: 3036–3038, 2015. First published June 18, 2015; doi:10.1152/jn.00342.2015.— Top-down attention biases the short-term memory (STM) processing at multiple stages. Orienting attention during the maintenance period of STM by a retrospective cue (retro-cue) strengthens the representat...

The publisher regrets that the published version of the above article contained several printing errors. Namely that the citations in the text to the Erkelens and van Ee reference (in press) should have been changed to (2002). Also many possessives (’s) were deleted unnecessarily. In addition, in the second line of the abstract (p. 2??) should have been changed to (p. 1157), on line 10 in the l...

An ABCD beam-propagation method was used to build a first-order mathematical model of a thermal lens effect from a near-infrared laser beam in water and ocular media. The model was found to fit experimental z-scan data best when the thermo-optic coefficient dn/dT of liquid water at 292 K was -4.46x10(-5) K(-1). The physiological parameters of the human eye were simulated in a simple eye model u...
