OBJECTIVE A meta-analysis examined the association between camp attendance and changes in self-perceptions in children with chronic health conditions. METHODS Studies using quantitative methods to assess changes in self-perceptions while attending camps designed for children with chronic health conditions were included in analyses. A random-effects model was used, and Cohen's d was used to ca...

This study aims to understand how youth living with serious illness retrospectively value their therapeutic recreational (TR) based camp experience. We focus primarily on they learned accept health condition, what consider the most valuable outcome from camp, and through which mechanisms contributed these outcomes. The applied a mixed-method online survey measuring learning outcomes in sample o...

This paper proposes Bayes-optimal convolutional approximate message-passing (CAMP) for signal recovery in compressed sensing. CAMP uses the same low-complexity matched filter (MF) interference suppression as (AMP). To improve convergence property of AMP ill-conditioned sensing matrices, so-called Onsager correction term is replaced by a convolution all preceding messages. The tap coefficients a...

neural cell adhesion molecules (ncams) are known to influence memory by affecting neural cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix junctions. this study investigated the possible role of camp pathway in the expression of hippocampal ncam and its polysialylated derivative (psa-ncam). the following pharmacological tools were employed for manipulation of camp pathway: a) forskolin; the activator of ...

recognition of the molecular mechanisms of camp action against dna damage-induced apoptosis can be useful to improve the efficacy of dna damaging therapeutic agents. considering the critical role of bcl-2-associated death promoter (bad) and p53 proteins in dna damage -induced apoptosis, the aim of this study was to assess the effect of camp-elevating agents on these proteins in doxorubicin-trea...

introduction: to evaluate the camp -mediated ibmx (3-isobutyle -1-methyl xanthin) and db-camp (dibutyryl camp) effects on differentiation of human embryonic stem cells (hescs) into nerve cells were the objectives of this study. methods: we have used royan h1 hesc- derived embryoid bodies with four treatment groups: six days treatment with ibmx (5×10 -4m) and db-camp (10 -9m) (referred to as cam...

The model for cAMP-dependent synaptic plasticity relates the characterization of a noradrenaline-stimulated adenylyl cyclase with DNA unzipping. Specific proteins condition cAMP insertion in specific sites of the DNA structure to direct cellular and synaptic differentiation in brain tissues, also providing coding. Metabolic-dependent ATP binding of Mg, could control feedback by inactivating AC ...

Elevated cAMP levels in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) cells attenuate the doxorubicin-induced p53 accumulation and protect cells against apoptosis. cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) is a cAMP-stimulated transcription factor that regulates genes whose deregulated expression cooperatein oncogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the role of CREB on i...
