The effects of simulated and actual visual impairment on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment

Author(s): Stark Z; Morrice E; Murphy C; Wittich W; Johnson AP;

Many cognitive assessments include a visual component; however, adults may experience a decline in visual acuity with age. Scores on cognitive assessments of adults with visual impairments are typically lower than adults with normal vision, however, it is unclear if these lower scores are a consequence of cognitive or visual impairment. We measured the im ...

Inclusion of currently diagnosed or treated individuals in studies of depression screening tool accuracy: a meta-research review of studies published in 2018-2021

Author(s): Nassar EL; Levis B; Rice DB; Booij L; Benedetti A; Thombs BD;

Objectives: Screening is done to improve health outcomes by identifying and effectively treating individuals with unrecognized conditions. Depression screening has been proposed to identify previously unrecognized depression cases. Including individuals already diagnosed or treated for depression in screening test accuracy studies could exaggerate accurac ...

Sentiment Classification Method Based on Blending of Emoticons and Short Texts

Author(s): Zou H; Xiang K;

With the development of Internet technology, short texts have gradually become the main medium for people to obtain information and communicate. Short text reduces the threshold of information production and reading by virtue of its short length, which is in line with the trend of fragmented reading in the context of the current fast-paced life. In additi ...

A portrait of obstructive sleep apnea risk factors in 27,210 middle-aged and older adults in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging

Author(s): Thompson C; Legault J; Moullec G; Baltzan M; Cross N; Dang-Vu TT; Martineau-Dussault MÈ; Hanly P; Ayas N; Lorrain D; Einstein G; Carrier J; Gosselin N;

Determining the prevalence and characteristics of individuals susceptible to present with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is essential for developing targeted and efficient prevention and screening strategies. We included 27,210 participants aged =45 years old (50.3% women) from the Canadian Longit ...

Should Burnout Be Conceptualized as a Mental Disorder?

Author(s): Nadon L; De Beer LT; Morin AJS;

Burnout is generally acknowledged by researchers, clinicians, and the public as a pervasive occupational difficulty. Despite this widespread recognition, longstanding debates remain within the scientific community regarding its definition and the appropriateness of classifying burnout as its own pathological entity. The current review seeks to address whe ...

Dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 spreading under the influence of environmental factors and strategies to tackle the pandemic: A systematic review

Author(s): Asif Z; Chen Z; Stranges S; Zhao X; Sadiq R; Olea-Popelka F; Peng C; Haghighat F; Yu T;

COVID-19 is deemed as the most critical world health calamity of the 21st century, leading to dramatic life loss. There is a pressing need to understand the multi-stage dynamics, including transmission routes of the virus and environmental conditions due to the possibility of multiple waves of COVID-19 in the future. In this paper, a systematic examinatio ...

Combination of system biology and classical approaches for developing biorefinery relevant lignocellulolytic Rasamsonia emersonii strain

Author(s): Raheja Y; Singh V; Kaur B; Basotra N; Di Falco M; Tsang A; Singh Chadha B;

The objective of this study was to develop thermophilic fungus Rasamsonia emersonii using integrated system biology tools (genomics, proteomics and transcriptional analysis) in combination with classical strain breeding approaches. Developed hyper cellulolytic mutant strain M36 showed endoglucanase (476.35 U/ml), ß-glucosidase (70.54 U/ml), cellobiohydrol ...

Human-level COVID-19 diagnosis from low-dose CT scans using a two-stage time-distributed capsule network

Author(s): Afshar P; Rafiee MJ; Naderkhani F; Heidarian S; Enshaei N; Oikonomou A; Babaki Fard F; Anconina R; Farahani K; Plataniotis KN; Mohammadi A;

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction is currently the gold standard in COVID-19 diagnosis. It can, however, take days to provide the diagnosis, and false negative rate is relatively high. Imaging, in particular chest computed tomography (CT), can assist with diagnosis and assessment of ...

A Versatile Transcription Factor Biosensor System Responsive to Multiple Aromatic and Indole Inducers

Author(s): Nasr MA; Timmins LR; Martin VJJ; Kwan DH;

Allosteric transcription factor (aTF) biosensors are valuable tools for engineering microbes toward a multitude of applications in metabolic engineering, biotechnology, and synthetic biology. One of the challenges toward constructing functional and diverse biosensors in engineered microbes is the limited toolbox of identified and characterized aTFs. To ov ...

Global urban environmental change drives adaptation in white clover

Author(s): Santangelo JS; Ness RW; Cohan B; Fitzpatrick CR; Innes SG; Koch S; Miles LS; Munim S; Peres-Neto PR; Prashad C; Tong AT; Aguirre WE; Akinwole PO; Alberti M; Álvarez J; Anderson JT; Anderson JJ; Ando Y; Andrew NR; Angeoletto F; Anstett DN ...

Urbanization transforms environments in ways that alter biological evolution. We examined whether urban environmental change drives parallel evolution by sampling 110,019 white clover plants from 6169 populations in 160 cities globally. Plants were assayed for a Mendelian antiherbivore defense th ...
