Assessing the role of cortico-thalamic and thalamo-accumbens projections in the augmentation of heroin seeking in chronically food-restricted rats.

Author(s): Chisholm A; Rizzo D; Fortin É; Moman V; Quietshat N; Romano A; Capolicchio T; Shalev U;

Drug addiction is a chronic disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and involves repetitive cycles of compulsive drug use, abstinence, and relapse. In both human and animal models of addiction, chronic food restriction increases rates of relapse. Our laboratory has reported a robust increase in drug-seeking following a period of withdrawal in ...

A robust optimization model for tactical capacity planning in an outpatient setting

Author(s): Aslani N; Kuzgunkaya O; Vidyarthi N; Terekhov D;

Tactical capacity planning is a key element of planning and control decisions in healthcare settings, focusing on the medium-term allocation of a clinic's resources to appointments of different types. One of the most scarce resources in healthcare is physician time. Due to uncertainty in demand for appointments, it is difficult to provide an exact m ...

A Benchmark of Data Stream Classification for Human Activity Recognition on Connected Objects.

Author(s): Khannouz M; Glatard T;

This paper evaluates data stream classifiers from the perspective of connected devices, focusing on the use case of Human Activity Recognition. We measure both the classification performance and resource consumption (runtime, memory, and power) of five usual stream classification algorithms, implemented in a consistent library, and applied to two real h ...

Cancer cells optimize elasticity for efficient migration.

Author(s): Kashani AS; Packirisamy M;

Cancer progression is associated with alternations in the cytoskeletal architecture of cells and, consequently, their mechanical properties such as stiffness. Changing the mechanics of cells enables cancer cells to migrate and invade to distant organ sites. This process, metastasis, is the main reason for cancer-related mortality. Cell migration is an e ...

Removal of arsenic from water through ceramic filter modified by nano-CeO2: A cost-effective approach for remote areas.

Author(s): Yang X; Huang G; An C; Chen X; Shen J; Yin J; Song P; Xu Z; Li Y;

The groundwater with high arsenic concentration is widespread, especially in many remote areas of developing countries. Arsenic existing in drinking water sources has a high risk to human health. In this study, an innovative effort to remove As(V) from water using ceramic filters functionalized with CeO2 nanocomposites (CF-CeO2) was investigated. Consid ...

Cortical gradients of functional connectivity are robust to state-dependent changes following sleep deprivation.

Author(s): Cross N; Paquola C; Pomares FB; Perrault AA; Jegou A; Nguyen A; Aydin U; Bernhardt BC; Grova C; Dang-Vu TT;

Sleep deprivation leads to significant impairments in cognitive performance and changes to the interactions between large scale cortical networks, yet the hierarchical organisation of cortical activity across states is still being explored. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to asses ...

Osseointegration Pharmacology: A Systematic Mapping Using Artificial Intelligence

Author(s): Mahri M; Shen N; Berrizbeitia F; Rodan R; Daer A; Faigan M; Taqi D; Wu KY; Ahmadi M; Ducret M; Emami E; Tamimi F;

Clinical performance of osseointegrated implants could be compromised by the medications taken by patients. The effect of a specific medication on osseointegration can be easily investigated using traditional systematic reviews. However, assessment of all known medications requires the use of e ...

The Relationship Between Cognitive Status and Known Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Author(s): Murphy C; Johnson AP; Koenekoop RK; Seiple W; Overbury O;

Recent literature has reported a higher occurrence of cognitive impairment among individuals with Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) compared to older adults with normal vision. This pilot study explored potential links between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in AMD and cognitive status. Individuals with AMD (N = 21) and controls (N = 18) wer ...

Sex Affects Regional Variations in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue T Cells but not Macrophages in Adults with Obesity

Author(s): Murphy J; Delaney KZ; Dam V; Tam BT; Khor N; Tsoukas MA; Morais JA; Santosa S;

Objective: The inflammatory environment in lower-body subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) has been largely unexplored. This study aimed to examine the effects of region (upper body vs. lower body) and sex on SAT immune cell profiles in young adults with obesity. Methods: Abdominal (AB) and femoral (FEM) SAT was collected from 12 males (mean [SEM] age = 3 ...
