Vitamin B5, a Coenzyme A precursor, rescues TANGO2 deficiency disease-associated defects in Drosophila and human cells

Author(s): Asadi P; Milev MP; Saint-Dic D; Gamberi C; Sacher M;

Mutations in the Transport and Golgi Organization 2 (TANGO2) gene are associated with intellectual deficit, neurodevelopmental delay and regression. Individuals can also present with an acute metabolic crisis that includes rhabdomyolysis, cardiomyopathy and cardiac arrhythmias, the latter of which are potentially lethal. While preventing metabolic crises ...

Spending Money in Free-to-Play Games: Sociodemographic Characteristics, Motives, Impulsivity and Internet Gaming Disorder Specificities

Author(s): Costes JM; Bonnaire C;

Free-to-Play games (F2P) have spread widely all over the world in recent years. The current economic model for these games is based on microtransactions, where gamers can purchase additional items or services inside the game. The aim of the present study was (1) to describe the profiles and gaming patterns of F2P gamers, and (2) to compare F2P gamers who ...

Neural correlates of recall and extinction in a rat model of appetitive Pavlovian conditioning

Author(s): Brown A; Villaruel FR; Chaudhri N;

Extinction is a fundamental form of inhibitory learning that is important for adapting to changing environmental contingencies. While numerous studies have investigated the neural correlates of extinction using Pavlovian fear conditioning and appetitive operant reward-seeking procedures, less is known about the neural circuitry mediating the extinction of ...

Pathways of association between disordered eating in adolescence and mental health outcomes in young adulthood during the COVID-19 pandemic

Author(s): Loose T; Geoffroy MC; Orri M; Chadi N; Scardera S; Booij L; Breton E; Tremblay R; Boivin M; Coté S;

Objectives: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with increased mental health problems. We investigated (1) associations between disordered eating in adolescence and mental health problems after one year of the pandemic and (2) the mechanisms explaining associations. Method: We analyzed dat ...

A Small Molecule Inhibitor of Erg251 Makes Fluconazole Fungicidal by Inhibiting the Synthesis of the 14α-Methylsterols

Author(s): Lu H; Li W; Whiteway M; Wang H; Zhu S; Ji Z; Feng Y; Yan L; Fang T; Li L; Ni T; Zhang X; Lv Q; Ding Z; Qiu L; Zhang D; Jiang Y;

Fluconazole (FLC) is widely used to prevent and treat invasive fungal infections. However, FLC is a fungistatic agent, allowing clinical FLC-susceptible isolates to tolerate FLC. Making FLC fungicidal in combination with adjuvants is a promising strategy to avoid FLC resistance and eliminate the ...

Characterization of a novel AA3_1 xylooligosaccharide dehydrogenase from Thermothelomyces myriococcoides CBS 398.93

Author(s): Zhao H; Karppi J; Nguyen TTM; Bellemare A; Tsang A; Master E; Tenkanen M;

Background: The Carbohydrate-Active enZymes (CAZy) auxiliary activity family 3 (AA3) comprises flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent (FAD) oxidoreductases from the glucose-methanol-choline (GMC) family, which play auxiliary roles in lignocellulose conversion. The AA3 subfamily 1 predominantly consists of cellobiose dehydrogenases (CDHs) that typically com ...

Comparing the First-Pass Success Rate of the King LTS-D and the i-gel Airway Devices in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Author(s): Price P; Laurie A; Plant E; Chandra K; Pishe T; Brunt K;

Objectives: Significant heterogeneity exists internationally in the airway devices used in the pre-hospital setting during cardiac arrest. This study evaluated the first-pass success (FPS) rate of two supraglottic airways (SGAs) used by paramedics during out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: the King LTS-D and the i-gel. Methods: By examining 2,680 patient car ...

Graphene-based terahertz reconfigurable printed ridge gap waveguide structure

Author(s): Ali MMM; Shams SI; Elsaadany M; Gagnon G; Wu K;

Graphene-based microwave devices have enabled reconfigurability, thus paving the way to the realization of flexible wireless terahertz systems with featured performances. Despite great progress in the development of graphene-based terahertz devices in the literature, high insertion loss and wide tunable range are still significant challenges at such high ...

Impact of ionizers on prevention of airborne infection in classroom

Author(s): Ren C; Haghighat F; Feng Z; Kumar P; Cao SJ;

Infectious diseases (e.g., coronavirus disease 2019) dramatically impact human life, economy and social development. Exploring the low-cost and energy-saving approaches is essential in removing infectious virus particles from indoors, such as in classrooms. The application of air purification devices, such as negative ion generators (ionizers), gains popu ...

How uncertainty affects information search among consumers: a curvilinear perspective

Author(s): He S; Rucker DD;

Uncertainty is an inherent part of consumers' environment. A large literature in marketing and related disciplines has found a positive relationship between uncertainty and information search: as consumers' uncertainty about a brand, product, or service increases, so does their inclination to seek out and engage with information. In contrast to th ...

COVID-19 infection and pain in adolescents with sickle cell disease: A case series

Author(s): Heyman HM; Alberts NM; Rees M; Puri L; Frett MJ; Anghelescu DL;

Adolescents with sickle cell disease (SCD) have been shown to have pain-related sequelae following COVID-19 infection. In this case series, we discuss five adolescents with SCD and SARS-CoV-2 infection who subsequently developed complex pain circumstances manifested as: (1) increased frequency of acute care visits or admissions for pain; (2) new onset chr ...

Luminance effects on pupil dilation in speech-in-noise recognition

Author(s): Zhang Y; Malaval F; Lehmann A; Deroche MLD;

There is an increasing interest in the field of audiology and speech communication to measure the effort that it takes to listen in noisy environments, with obvious implications for populations suffering from hearing loss. Pupillometry offers one avenue to make progress in this enterprise but important methodological questions remain to be addressed befor ...
