Psychosocial Function in Mild Cognitive Impairment: Social Participation is Associated With Cognitive Performance in Multiple Domains

Author(s): Rehan S; Phillips NA;

Psychosocial function is associated with cognitive performance cross-sectionally and cognitive decline over time. Using data from the COMPASS-ND study, we examined associations between psychosocial and cognitive function in 126 individuals with mild cognitive impairment, an at-risk group for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Psychosocial function was measured ...

Semantically-Enhanced Feature Extraction with CLIP and Transformer Networks for Driver Fatigue Detection

Author(s): Gao Z; Chen X; Xu J; Yu R; Zhang H; Yang J;

Drowsy driving is a leading cause of commercial vehicle traffic crashes. The trend is to train fatigue detection models using deep neural networks on driver video data, but challenges remain in coarse and incomplete high-level feature extraction and network architecture optimization. This paper pioneers the use of the CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre- ...

Brain serotonin, oxytocin, and their interaction: Relevance for eating disorders

Author(s): Ismaylova E; Nemoda Z; Booij L;

Introduction: Eating disorders are characterized by maladaptive eating behaviors and preoccupations around body shape, weight, and eating. The serotonin system has been among the most widely studied neurobiological factors in relation to eating disorders. Recent research also highlighted the role of oxytocin. Aims and methods: This article aims to review ...

Low Back Pain During and After Spaceflight: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Author(s): Ceniza-Bordallo G; Zimmermann E; Vigouroux M; Niburski K; Fortin M; Ouellet J; Cata JP; Ingelmo PM;

Space flights can produce physiological changes in the spine, leading to the development of acute and chronic pain in passengers. However, there is a lack of comprehensive literature exploring physiological spine changes and acute and chronic pain in space passengers (astronauts and animals). The ...

Further analyses of appraisals of losing control and other OCD-related cognitions: A quasi-experimental investigation

Author(s): Sandstrom A; Radomsky AS;

Background and objectives: Cognitive models of OCD posit that dysfunctional beliefs contribute to the maintenance of symptoms. In addition to well-established belief domains, beliefs about losing control has been identified as a novel cognitive domain which may influence OCD phenomena, including other dysfunctional beliefs. However, the exact nature of th ...

Variation in flower morphology associated with higher bee diversity in urban green spaces

Author(s): Sinno S; MacInnis G; Lessard JP; Ziter CD;

Urbanization is a leading threat to biodiversity, but scientifically informed management of urban ecosystems can mitigate negative impacts. For wild bees, which are declining worldwide, careful consideration of flower choice in public and private green spaces could help preserve their diversity. While floral density and species richness are both linked to ...

Effect of age on hypnotics' efficacy and safety in insomnia: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Author(s): Patrick Viet-Quoc N; Thien Thanh DV; Philippe L; Sebastien C; Lidia S; Philippe D;

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy in improving sleep quality and safety of hypnotics in individuals aged 65 years or older compared to those under 65 years. Methods: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, and EBM Reviews were searched for randomized clinical trials comparing hypnotics to the placebo in adults with chron ...

The Immediate Effect of a Single Treatment of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation with the StimaWELL 120MTRS System on Multifidus Stiffness in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain

Author(s): Wolfe D; Dover G; Boily M; Fortin M;

Background/objectives: Individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) have altered lumbar multifidus stiffness properties compared to healthy controls. Although neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) application to the multifidus might affect stiffness, this has never been investigated. The aims of this study were to examine the effect of a single NME ...

Realistic dual-task listening-while-balancing in older adults with normal hearing and hearing loss with and without hearing aids

Author(s): Mohanathas N; Montanari L; Gabriel GA; Downey R; Li KZH; Campos JL;

Age-related hearing loss is a risk factor for mobility problems and falls, possibly due to poor access to spatial sounds or the higher allocation of attention required to listen, thereby reducing cognitive resources to support mobility. Introducing stabilizing spatial sounds or reducing cognitive load through hearing aids could possibly improve balance pe ...

A protocol for trustworthy EEG decoding with neural networks

Author(s): Borra D; Magosso E; Ravanelli M;

Deep learning solutions have rapidly emerged for EEG decoding, achieving state-of-the-art performance on a variety of decoding tasks. Despite their high performance, existing solutions do not fully address the challenge posed by the introduction of many hyperparameters, defining data pre-processing, network architecture, network training, and data augment ...
