Feedforward inhibition (FFI) between the dentate gyrus (DG) and CA3 sparsifies and shapes memory- and spatial navigation-related activities. However, our understanding of this prototypical FFI circuit lacks essential details, as the wiring of FFI is not yet mapped between individual DG granule cells (GCs) and CA3 pyramidal cells (PCs). Importantly, theoretically opposite network contributions a...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of a 4-week intervention with a full-length carbon graphite (FL) orthosis on pain and function in patients with midfoot arthritis, and to identify alterations in in vivo foot kinematics accompanying FL use in patients with midfoot arthritis. These results have immediate application for enhancing patient care through effective orthotic recommendations. DESIGN Exp...

In the current investigation, we test for relationships between three domains of disgust sensitivity (pathogen, sexual, and moral disgust) and the six dimensions of the HEXACO personality model in a large, demographically diverse Dutch sample. Our results extend upon previous investigations into the relationship between disgust sensitivity and personality in two important ways. First, in contra...

En este estudio se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del Inventario Cinco Factores NEO treinta items (NEO-FFI-30) en un total 2096 adultos (61.55% mujeres) con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 71 años. Se analizó validación cruzada estructura factorial mediante análisis exploratorio Ejes Principales (PAF) Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC). El PAF reprodujo o...

In psychiatric outpatients, the usefulness of the dimensional NEO-FFI as a screening instrument for personality disorders (PDs) was compared with the categorical screening instrument SAPAS-SR using the SCID-II as the gold standard. Major research questions are: 1) is the NEO-FFI a useful screening instrument for PDs? 2) does the NEO-FFI outperform a categorical screening instrument (SAPAS-SR)? ...

BACKGROUND Awake flexible fiberoptic intubation (FFI) is the gold standard for management of anticipated difficult tracheal intubation. The purpose of this study was to compare awake FFI to awake McGrath® video laryngoscope, (MVL), (Aircraft Medical, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom) intubation in patients with an anticipated difficult intubation. The authors examined the hypothesis that MVL...

Recent findings have provided growing evidence in support of process-genre-oriented writing pedagogy. However, these types approaches tended to place form-focused instruction (FFI) the background, particularly explicit teaching grammar (i.e., isolated FFI). As such, limited improvement accuracy was reported by recent studies. It is, therefore, important look into how FFI might further improve t...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of foot orthoses using the foot function index (FFI) in a group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) during a period of 6 months. METHODS Thirty-six rheumatoid subjects with foot pain were examined and appropriate foot orthoses were prescribed according to each patient's needs. All the patients were evaluated 30, 90 and 180 days after the baseline...
