Transparency and completeness of reporting of depression screening tool accuracy studies: A meta-research review of adherence to the Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies statement

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

Objectives: Accurate and complete study reporting allows evidence users to critically appraise studies, evaluate possible bias, and assess generalizability and applicability. We evaluated the extent to which recent studies on depression screening accuracy were reported consistent with Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (STARD) statemen ...

Sexual experience increases oxytocin, but not vasopressin, receptor densities in the medial preoptic area, ventromedial hypothalamus, and central amygdala of male rats

Author(s): Shann Ménard

Oxytocin (OT) and vasopressin (VP) are considered to be principal neurochemical substrates of bonding in monogamous species. We have reported previously that conditioning of a sexual partner preference in male rats resulted in conditioned activation of OT and VP neurons in hypothalamic paraventricular and supraoptc nuclei. Here we asked whether such condi ...

Alarm cues and alarmed conspecifics: neural activity during social learning from different cues in Trinidadian guppies

Author(s): Raina Fan

Learning to respond appropriately to novel dangers is often essential to survival and success, but carries risks. Learning about novel threats from others (social learning) can reduce these risks. Many species, including the Trinidadian guppy (Poecilia reticulata), respond defensively to both conspecific chemical alarm cues and conspecific anti-predator b ...

Multi-label classification for biomedical literature: an overview of the BioCreative VII LitCovid Track for COVID-19 literature topic annotations

Author(s): Chen Q; Allot A; Leaman R; Islamaj R; Du J; Fang L; Wang K; Xu S; Zhang Y; Bagherzadeh P; Bergler S; Bhatnagar A; Bhavsar N; Chang YC; Lin SJ; Tang W; Zhang H; Tavchioski I; Pollak S; Tian S; Zhang J; Otmakhova Y; Yepes AJ; Dong H; Wu H; ...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been severely impacting global society since December 2019. The related findings such as vaccine and drug development have been reported in biomedical literature-at a rate of about 10 000 articles on COVID-19 per month. Such rapid growth signif ...

Associations between early poverty exposure and adolescent well-being: The role of childhood negative emotionality

Author(s): De France K; Stack DM; Serbin LA;

Using a longitudinal design (Wave 1 n = 164, Mage = 3.57 years, 54% female, predominantly White and French-speaking), the current study sought to answer two questions: 1) does poverty influence children's negative emotionality through heightened family-level, poverty-related stress? and 2) is negative emotionality, in turn, predictive of adolescent in ...

Development of a Bayesian inference model for assessing ventilation condition based on CO2 meters in primary schools

Author(s): Hou D; Wang LL; Katal A; Yan S; Zhou LG; Wang V; Vuotari M; Li E; Xie Z;

Outdoor fresh air ventilation plays a significant role in reducing airborne transmission of diseases in indoor spaces. School classrooms are considerably challenged during the COVID-19 pandemic because of the increasing need for in-person education, untimely and incompleted vaccinations, high occupancy density, and uncertain ventilation conditions. Many s ...

Financial well-being: Capturing an elusive construct with an optimized measure

Author(s): Aubrey M; Morin AJS; Fernet C; Carbonneau N;

Several definitions and measures of financial well-being (FWB) have been proposed in the scientific literature. The Multidimensional Subjective Financial Well-being Scale (MSFWBS) stands out among these measures in its ability to account for the conceptual richness of FWB. However, the original validation study based on a confirmatory factor analytic mode ...

Nonlinear Statistical Analysis of Normal and Pathological Infant Cry Signals in Cepstrum Domain by Multifractal Wavelet Leaders

Author(s): Lahmiri S; Tadj C; Gargour C;

Multifractal behavior in the cepstrum representation of healthy and unhealthy infant cry signals is examined by means of wavelet leaders and compared using the Student t-test. The empirical results show that both expiration and inspiration signals exhibit clear evidence of multifractal properties under healthy and unhealthy conditions. In addition, expira ...

RPA Plasmons in Graphene Nanoribbons: Influence of a VO2 Substrate

Author(s): Bahrami M; Vasilopoulos P;

We study the effect of the phase-change material VO2 on plasmons in metallic arm-chair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) within the random-phase approximation (RPA) for intra- and inter-band transitions. We assess the influence of temperature as a knob for the transition from the insulating to the metallic phase of VO2 on localized and propagating plasmon mode ...

Dopamine and Beyond: Implications of Psychophysical Studies of Intracranial Self-Stimulation for the Treatment of Depression

Author(s): Pallikaras V; Shizgal P;

Major depressive disorder is a leading cause of disability and suicide worldwide. Consecutive rounds of conventional interventions are ineffective in a significant sub-group of patients whose disorder is classified as treatment-resistant depression. Significant progress in managing this severe form of depression has been achieved through the use of deep b ...

Behavioral, Neural, and Molecular Mechanisms of Conditioned Mate Preference: The Role of Opioids and First Experiences of Sexual Reward

Author(s): Gonzalo R Quintana

Although mechanisms of mate preference are thought to be relatively hard-wired, experience with appetitive and consummatory sexual reward has been shown to condition preferences for partner related cues and even objects that predict sexual reward. Here, we reviewed evidence from laboratory species and humans on sexually conditioned place, partner, and eja ...
