Biological studies into antidepressant drug action and into the aetiology of depression were highly active areas of research in the 1960s and 1970s but, arguably, have now lost some of their impetus and direction. Many investigations seem to have come to a natural end and there is a need for the subject to make a quantum leap to promote its development. It is recognized however, that advances h...

A region of the brain called the putamen has a central role in procedural memory consolidation during sleep.

Switching between mental sets has been extensively investigated in both experimental and individual differences research using a wide range of task-switch paradigms. However, it is yet unclear whether these different tasks measure a unitary shifting ability or reflect different facets thereof. In this study, 20 task pairs were administered to 119 young adults to assess 5 proposed components of ...

o bjectives: the aim of the present randomized clinical trial was to evaluate marginal bone loss around two types of implants modified at the neck area: nobel active and nobel replace groovy, both manufactured by nobel biocare. materials and methods: a total of 25 nobel active and 21 nobel replace groovy implants were included in the present study. the implants were placed based on the relevant...

low calorie diets are always difficult for obese subjects to follow and lead to metabolic and behavioral adaptation. therefore, we evaluated the effect of caffeine treatment with calorie shifting diet (csd) on weight loss. female subjects (n=98; bmi≥25) completed 4-weeks control diet, 6-weeks csd (3 repeated phases; each 2-weeks) and 4-weeks follow-up diet, with or without caffeine treatment (5...

Gil Kalai introduced the shifting-theoretic upper bound relation to characterize the f -vectors of Gorenstein* complexes (or homology spheres) by using algebraic shifting. In the present paper, we study the shifting-theoretic upper bound relation. First, we will study the relation between exterior algebraic shifting and combinatorial shifting. Second, by using the relation above, we will prove ...

the changing demands on the health sectors in low- and middle-income countries especially sub-saharan african countries continue to challenge efforts to address critical shortages of the health workforce. addressing these challenges have led to the evolution of “non-physician clinicians” (npcs), that assume some physician roles and thus mitigate the continuing shortage of doctors in these count...

Prior research has found that exposure to news frames can cause emotional responses to political issues. Yet, little is known about how different combinations of news frames and issues relate to discrete emotions and whether these emotions, in turn, affect issue perceptions. The present study investigates these questions by testing whether (a) the effects of news articles, featuring highly vers...
