Fast oscillations >40 Hz localize the epileptogenic zone: An electrical source imaging study using high-density electroencephalography.

Author(s): Avigdor T, Abdallah C, von Ellenrieder N, Hedrich T, Rubino A, Lo Russo G, Bernhardt B, Nobili L, Grova C, Frauscher B

OBJECTIVE: Fast Oscillations (FO) >40 Hz are a promising biomarker of the epileptogenic zone (EZ). Evidence using scalp electroencephalography (EEG) remains scarce. We assessed if electrical source imaging of FO using 256-channel high-density EEG (HD-EEG) is useful for EZ identification. METHODS: ...

Core Competencies in Cancer Genomics for Healthcare Professionals: Results From a Systematic Literature Review and a Delphi Process.

Author(s): Hoxhaj I, Tognetto A, Acampora A, Stojanovic J, Boccia S

The continuous development and use of genomic sequencing requires healthcare professionals to constantly integrate these advancements into their clinical practice. There is a documented lack of cancer genomics contents in the teaching and learning programs. We aimed to identify the core competencies in cancer genomics for non-genetic healthcare profession ...

Reconsidering Reconciliation Within Families of Youth Who Sexually Offend.

Author(s): Gervais CLM, Johnston MS

Research on youth sexual offending has focused primarily on its prevalence, risk factors, treatment interventions, and recidivism rates. Thus, there is a need to develop better understandings of the processes towards reconciliation (or the lack thereof) that occur in the context of the collateral consequences of such harm-generating behavior. This qualita ...

Assessment of solid phase microextraction as a sample preparation tool for untargeted analysis of brain tissue using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

Author(s): Reyes-Garcés N; Boyaci E; Gómez-Ríos GA; Olkowicz M; Monnin C; Bojko B; Vuckovic D; Pawliszyn J;

This work presents an evaluation of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) SPME in combination with liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) as an analytical approach for untargeted brain analysis. The study included a characterization of the metabolite coverage provided by C ...

Leadership and Governance in Times of Crisis: A Balancing Act for Nonprofit Boards.

Author(s): McMullin C, Raggo P

How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the roles of nonprofit boards? We reflect critically on the leadership and management activities of boards to understand the implications of the current crisis on governance. Employing a contingency approach to governance, we present a model of boards of directors' leadership and management roles under four gover ...

Does time management work? A meta-analysis.

Author(s): Aeon B, Faber A, Panaccio A

Does time management work? We conducted a meta-analysis to assess the impact of time management on performance and well-being. Results show that time management is moderately related to job performance, academic achievement, and wellbeing. Time management also shows a moderate, negative relationship with distress. Interestingly, individual differences and ...

Designing a hybrid reinforcement learning based algorithm with application in prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec.

Author(s): Khalilpourazari S, Hashemi Doulabi H

World Health Organization (WHO) stated COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020. Since then, 26,795,847 cases have been reported worldwide, and 878,963 lost their lives due to the illness by September 3, 2020. Prediction of the COVID-19 pandemic will enable policymakers to optimize the use of healthcare system capacity and resource allocation to minimize the ...

Phylogenomic fingerprinting of tempo and functions of horizontal gene transfer within ochrophytes.

Author(s): Dorrell RG, Villain A, Perez-Lamarque B, Audren de Kerdrel G, McCallum G, Watson AK, Ait-Mohamed O, Alberti A, Corre E, Frischkorn KR, Pierella Karlusich JJ, Pelletier E, Morlon H, Bowler C, Blanc G

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is an important source of novelty in eukaryotic genomes. This is particularly true for the ochrophytes, a diverse and important group of algae. Previous studies have shown that ochrophytes possess a mosaic of genes derived from bacteria and eukaryotic algae, acquire ...

Hippocampal Degeneration and Behavioral Impairment During Alzheimer-Like Pathogenesis Involves Glutamate Excitotoxicity.

Author(s): Olajide OJ, Gbadamosi IT, Yawson EO, Arogundade T, Lewu FS, Ogunrinola KY, Adigun OO, Bamisi O, Lambe E, Arietarhire LO, Oluyomi OO, Idowu OK, Kareem R, Asogwa NT, Adeniyi PA

The hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology include senile plaques accumulation and neurofibrillary tangles, which is thought to underlie synaptic failure. Recent evidence however supports that synaptic failure in AD may instead be instigated by enhanced N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) ac ...

Environmental Multimedia Modeling System (EMMS) for Health Risk Assessment: Key Influencing Factors and Uncertainties Researches.

Author(s): Yuan J, Chen Z, Ding S, Zhang Q, Jia Y

In this paper, a former developed Environmental Multimedia Modeling System (EMMS) combining with risk assessment Monte Carlo Method (MCM) was further used for exploring the interaction between groundwater and surface water. When using this EMMS-MCM simulation, this paper concentrate on combining several influencing factors on its permeability coefficient ...

Change in Pain Status and Subsequent Opioid and Marijuana Use Among Long-Term Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer.

Author(s): Huang IC, Alberts NM, Buckley MG, Li Z, Ehrhardt MJ, Brinkman TM, Allen J, Krull KR, Klosky JL, Greene WL, Srivastava DK, Robison LL, Hudson MM, Anghelescu DL

We evaluated pain status change and associations with subsequent opioid/marijuana use among 1208 adult survivors of childhood cancer. Pain status and opioid/marijuana were self-reported at baseline and follow-up evaluation (mean interval = 4.2?years). Over time, 18.7% of survivors endorsed persis ...

Using Models to (Re-)Design Synthetic Circuits.

Author(s): McCallum G, Potvin-Trottier L

Mathematical models play an important role in the design of synthetic gene circuits, by guiding the choice of biological components and their assembly into novel gene networks. Here, we present a guide for biologists to build and utilize models of gene networks (synthetic or natural) to analyze dynamical properties of these networks while considering the ...
