2 in mice. NCS-Rapgef2 in the NAc is required for activation of ERK and Egr-1/Zif268 in D1 dopaminoceptive neurons after acute cocaine administration, and subsequent enhanced locomotor response and drug seeking behavior after repeated cocaine administration. This novel component in dopamine signaling provides a potential new target for…[Read more]

Specifically, three experiments investigated whether photographs would bias autobiographical judgments for either quantitative (e.g., How many movies have you seen in the past year?) or affective (e.g., How enjoyable do you think your next date will be?) aspects of events in everyday life. We found that photographs reliably influenced judgments…[Read more]

To identify the pathways through which external, parental, and adolescent factors influence adolescents’ motivation to adopt healthy dietary behaviors.

A total of 28 ethnically and socioeconomically diverse (25% White) families were interviewed in which adolescents (mean age = 12.7 years; 50% girls) and parents (mean age = 43.3 years;…[Read more]

Depending on soil, appropriate SOFs applied were able to reduce N2O production and maintain greater nitrate-N levels in flooded soil. Thus, solid oxygen fertilizers can potentially be used as an effective way to reduce N2O emission from hypoxic soil in agricultural production systems.Increasing evidence indicates that alterations in gut microbiota…[Read more]

To develop a better understanding of ‘in-service’ performance of modern marine coatings, this study explored the combined effects of different roughness ranges of foul-release coating (FRC) and light biofouling (slime) on the surface, boundary layer and drag characteristics under a range of ‘in-service’ conditions. Natural and laboratory biofilms…[Read more]

Fluorescence and specific UV absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA 254) data showed that fractions of DOC with higher SUVA 254 values (terrestrial-like fractions) were better removed by secondary IEX than those with lower SUVA 254 values (aquatic/microbial-like fractions). Scanning electron microscopy showed that biofilms on non-regenerated resins covered…[Read more]

Background The lifetime prevalence of prolonged vulvar pain ranges from 3% to 28% among premenopausal women. Provoked vestibulodynia (PVD), often accompanied with various degrees of vaginismus, is the predominant cause. We explored the association between birth-related events and the risk of developing PVD/vaginismus during adulthood. Methods We…[Read more]

014) and GFR on admission (

= 0.004) were independently associated with development of AKI. The number of days of hypertonic saline infusion (

= 0.79) without the persistence of hyperchloremia and highest serum chloride levels (

= 0.23) were not predictive of AKI development.

In patients with traumatic brain injury, admission…[Read more]

This article aims to draw attention to potential periprocedural complications relating to the Impella, in particular iatrogenic aortic and mitral valve injuries. Moreover, we have summarized our recommendations emphasizing the need for careful management and meticulous follow-up of these patients to avoid such potentially devastating…[Read more]

To grasp the properties of GBs in depth, the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed, and the corresponding results indicate that temperature has very little impact on the GBs’ shape. A phase transition process of the substance inside GBs is also revealed. Moreover, a two-dimensional (2D) solid nitrogen is discovered by MD simulations.…[Read more]
