Expanding a Behavioral View on Digital Health Access: Drivers and Strategies to Promote Equity

Author(s): Kepper MM; Fowler LA; Kusters IS; Davis JW; Baqer M; Sagui-Henson S; Xiao Y; Tarfa A; Yi JC; Gibson B; Heron KE; Alberts NM; Burgermaster M; Njie-Carr VP; Klesges LM;

The potential and threat of digital tools to achieve health equity has been highlighted for over a decade, but the success of achieving equitable access to health technologies remains challenging. Our paper addresses renewed concerns regarding equity in digital health access that were deepened du ...

The perceived social support of parents having bipolar disorder impacts their children's mental health: a 10-year longitudinal study

Author(s): Trespalacios F; Boyle A; Serravalle L; Hodgins S; Ellenbogen MA;

Background: The offspring of parents with bipolar disorder (OBD) are at higher risk of developing psychopathology than the offspring of parents with no affective disorder (control). In addition to genetic predisposition, childhood adversity and a stressful family environment are important risk factors for the OBD. Protective factors in parents, such as so ...

Music reward sensitivity is associated with greater information transfer capacity within dorsal and motor white matter networks in musicians

Author(s): Matthews TE; Lumaca M; Witek MAG; Penhune VB; Vuust P;

There are pronounced differences in the degree to which individuals experience music-induced pleasure which are linked to variations in structural connectivity between auditory and reward areas. However, previous studies exploring the link between white matter structure and music reward sensitivity (MRS) have relied on standard diffusion tensor imaging me ...

Quebec-based parents' concerns regarding their children's multilingual development

Author(s): Quirk E; Brouillard M; Ahooja A; Ballinger S; Polka L; Byers-Heinlein K; Kircher R;

Many parents express concerns for their children's multilingual development, yet little is known about the nature and strength of these concerns - especially among parents in multilingual societies. This pre-registered, questionnaire-based study addresses this gap by examining the concerns of 821 Quebec-based parents raising infants and toddlers aged ...

Intrinsic structural covariation links cerebellum subregions to the cerebral cortex

Author(s): Wang Z; Diedrichsen J; Saltoun K; Steele C; Arnold-Anteraper SR; Yeo BTT; Schmahmann JD; Bzdok D;

The human cerebellum is increasingly recognized to be involved in non-motor and higher-order cognitive functions. Yet, its ties with the entire cerebral cortex have not been holistically studied in a whole-brain exploration with a unified analytical framework. Here, we characterized dissociable c ...

Education in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Design and Feasibility Study of the LapBot Safe Chole Mobile Game

Author(s): Noroozi M; St John A; Masino C; Laplante S; Hunter J; Brudno M; Madani A; Kersten-Oertel M;

Background: Major bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), often stemming from errors in surgical judgment and visual misperception of critical anatomy, significantly impact morbidity, mortality, disability, and health care costs. Objective: To enhance safe LC learning, we de ...

A Survey on Error Exponents in Distributed Hypothesis Testing: Connections with Information Theory, Interpretations, and Applications

Author(s): Espinosa S; Silva JF; Céspedes S;

A central challenge in hypothesis testing (HT) lies in determining the optimal balance between Type I (false positive) and Type II (non-detection or false negative) error probabilities. Analyzing these errors' exponential rate of convergence, known as error exponents, provides crucial insights into system performance. Error exponents offer a lens thro ...

Open access segmentations of intraoperative brain tumor ultrasound images

Author(s): Behboodi B; Carton FX; Chabanas M; de Ribaupierre S; Solheim O; Munkvold BKR; Rivaz H; Xiao Y; Reinertsen I;

Purpose: Registration and segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) and ultrasound (US) images could play an essential role in surgical planning and resectioning brain tumors. However, validating these techniques is challenging due to the scarcity of publicly accessible sources with high-quality gr ...

Age of obesity onset affects subcutaneous adipose tissue cellularity differently in the abdominal and femoral region

Author(s): Murphy J; Dera A; Morais JA; Tsoukas MA; Khor N; Sazonova T; Almeida LG; Cooke AB; Daskalopoulou SS; Tam BT; Santosa S;

Objective: We aimed to examine the effect of age of obesity onset, sex, and their interaction on abdominal and femoral subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) morphology (degree of adipocyte hyperplasia or hypertrophy). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we isolated adipocytes via collagenase dig ...

Evidence of isochorismate channeling between the Escherichia coli enterobactin biosynthetic enzymes EntC and EntB

Author(s): Bin X; Pawelek PD;

Enterobactin is a high-affinity iron chelator produced and secreted by Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium to scavenge scarce extracellular Fe3+ as a micronutrient. EntC and EntB are the first two enzymes in the enterobactin biosynthetic pathway. Isochorismate, produced by EntC, is a substrate for EntB isochorismatase. By using a competing isochor ...

Revealing the Freezing-Induced Alteration in Microplastic Behavior and Its Implication for the Microplastics Released from Seasonal Ice

Author(s): Chen Z; Elektorowicz M; An C; Tian X; Wang Z; Yang X; Lyu L;

Ice can serve as a significant temporary repository and conveyance mechanism for microplastics (MPs). MPs present in the water column can become entrapped within developing ice formations, subsequently being sequestered and transported by ice floes. With changing temperatures, MPs stored in ice can be released back into the environment, while freezing con ...
