Online Gambling Practices and Related Problems in Five European Countries: Findings from the Electronic Gam(bl)ing Multinational Empirical Survey (E-GAMES) Project

Author(s): Costes JM; Kairouz S; Fiedler I; Bartczuk RP; Lelonkek-Kuleta B; Minutillo A; Notari L;

Online gambling has demonstrated a significant and growing impact on overall gambling involvement. To examine online gambling practices and associated problems, we conducted surveys with national samples of Internet users in several European countries. The objective of this paper is to provide a portrait of online gambling practices and problems in five E ...

Roles of inter- and intramolecular tryptophan interactions in membrane-active proteins revealed by racemic protein crystallography

Author(s): Lander AJ; Mercado LD; Li X; Taily IM; Findlay BL; Jin Y; Luk LYP;

Tryptophan is frequently found on the surface of membrane-associated proteins that interact with the lipid membrane. However, because of their multifaceted interactions, it is difficult to pinpoint the structure-activity relationship of each tryptophan residue. Here, we describe the use of racemic protein crystallography to probe dedicated tryptophan inte ...

Spaced Apart: Autoethnographies of Access Throughout the COVID 19 Pandemic

Author(s): Dokumaci A; Bessette-Viens R; Goberdhan N; Lucas S; Mazowita A; Stainton J;

In this article, we present six autoethnographies of lives marked by crisis that reflect on the issues of access, very broadly defined, that the COVID 19 pandemic has raised or redefined for each of us. As the time of crisis has made access concerns more and more evident it also exposes how access is not an issue just for disabled people, but for all live ...

Bioretention Cells Provide a 10-Fold Reduction in 6PPD-Quinone Mass Loadings to Receiving Waters: Evidence from a Field Experiment and Modeling

Author(s): Rodgers TFM; Wang Y; Humes C; Jeronimo M; Johannessen C; Spraakman S; Giang A; Scholes RC;

Road runoff to streams and rivers exposes aquatic organisms to complex mixtures of chemical contaminants. In particular, the tire-derived chemical 6PPD-quinone (N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone) is acutely toxic to several species of salmonids, which are critical to ...

Screening for parent and child ADHD in urban pediatric primary care: pilot implementation and stakeholder perspectives

Author(s): Lui JHL; Danko CM; Triece T; Bennett IM; Marschall D; Lorenzo NE; Stein MA; Chronis-Tuscano A;

Background: ADHD commonly co-occurs in children and parents. When ADHD is untreated in parents, it contributes to negative child developmental and treatment outcomes. Screening for parent and child ADHD co-occurrence in pediatric primary care may be an effective strategy for early identification ...

The β2-adrenergic receptor agonist terbutaline upregulates T helper-17 cells in a protein kinase A-dependent manner

Author(s): Carvajal Gonczi CM; Hajiaghayi M; Gholizadeh F; Xavier Soares MA; Touma F; Lopez Naranjo C; Rios AJ; Pozzebon C; Daigneault T; Burchell-Reyes K; Darlington PJ;

Background: T helper 17 (Th17) cells produce IL-17A cytokine and can exacerbate autoimmune diseases and asthma. The ß2 adrenergic receptor is a g protein-coupled receptor that induces cAMP second messenger pathways. We tested the hypothesis that terbutaline, a ß2-adrenergic receptor-specific agon ...

Infrared Thermography-A Novel Tool for Monitoring Fracture Healing: A Critically Appraised Topic With Evidence-Based Recommendations for Clinical Practice

Author(s): Castonguay T; Dover G;

Clinical scenario: Stress fractures are one of the most common injuries in athletes. Unfortunately, they are hard to diagnose, require multiple radiology exams and follow-up which leads to more exposure to radiation and an increase in cost. Stress fractures that are mismanaged can lead to serious complications and poorer outcomes for the athlete. During t ...

Dynamic regulation of inter-organelle communication by ubiquitylation controls skeletal muscle development and disease onset

Author(s): Mansur A; Joseph R; Kim ES; Jean-Beltran PM; Udeshi ND; Pearce C; Jiang H; Iwase R; Milev MP; Almousa HA; McNamara E; Widrick J; Perez C; Ravenscroft G; Sacher M; Cole PA; Carr SA; Gupta VA;

Ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) dysfunction is associated with the pathology of a wide range of human diseases, including myopathies and muscular atrophy. However, the mechanistic understanding of specific components of the regulation of protein turnover during development and disease progressi ...

Childhood Maltreatment in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery: Implications for Weight Loss, Depression and Eating Behavior

Author(s): Ben-Porat T; Bacon SL; Woods R; Fortin A; Lavoie KL;

We aimed to explore the relationships between childhood maltreatment and changes in weight, depressive symptoms and eating behavior post-bariatric surgery (BS). Participants (n = 111, 85% females) were evaluated pre-surgery, and at 6 months (6 M) and 12 months (12 M) post-BS. History of maltreatment was assessed at baseline (Childhood Trauma Questionnaire ...

Inpatient Care Utilization Following Mobile Crisis Response Encounters Among Racial/Ethnic Minoritized Youth

Author(s): Lui JHL; Chen BC; Benson LA; Lin YR; Ruiz A; Lau AS;

Objective: There has been an increase in youth psychiatric emergencies and psychiatric inpatient hospitalizations in recent years. Mobile crisis responses (MCR) services offer an opportunity to meet acute youth mental health needs in the community and provide linkage to care. However, an understanding of MCR encounters as a care pathway is needed, includi ...

Transformer-based hand gesture recognition from instantaneous to fused neural decomposition of high-density EMG signals

Author(s): Montazerin M; Rahimian E; Naderkhani F; Atashzar SF; Yanushkevich S; Mohammadi A;

Designing efficient and labor-saving prosthetic hands requires powerful hand gesture recognition algorithms that can achieve high accuracy with limited complexity and latency. In this context, the paper proposes a Compact Transformer-based Hand Gesture Recognition framework referred to as [Formula: see text], which employs a vision transformer network to ...
