The authors examined the hypothesis that psychosocial identity development is related to need for cognition (NFC), a social–cognitive individual-difference variable defined as the desire to engage in effortful thinking (J. T. Cacioppo, R. E. Petty, J. Feinstein, & W. Jarvis, 1996). They administered 2 measures of psychosocial identity—a scale from the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity ...

Peripheral neuropathies may complicate all stages of HIV infection. During the early asymptomatic stages peripheral neuropathies are uncommon, but electrodiagnostic testing reveals subclinical evidence of peripheral nerve involvement in about 10 % of cases. In later stages, symptomatic neuropathies occur in some 30-50 % of patients. Neuropathological studies have shown pathological changes with...

Recently, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been demonstrated to contribute to normal and disease processes including cancer progression. To explore EMT-suppressive microRNAs (miRNAs), we established a cell-based reporter system using a stable clone derived from a pancreatic cancer cell line, Panc1, transfected with a reporter construct containing a promoter sequence of CDH1/E-...
