Connect Brain, a Mobile App for Studying Depth Perception in Angiography Visualization: Gamification Study

Author(s): Titov A; Drouin S; Kersten-Oertel M;

Background: One of the bottlenecks of visualization research is the lack of volunteers for studies that evaluate new methods and paradigms. The increased availability of web-based marketplaces, combined with the possibility of implementing volume rendering, a computationally expensive method, on mobile devices, has opened the door for using gamification i ...

Comparing the impact of in-person vs. virtual 10-week family-based childhood obesity management program on anthropometric, cardiometabolic, and mental health outcomes

Author(s): Heidl AJ; Sun D; Faustini C; Gierc M; Bains A; Cohen TR;

Objectives: To compare differences in patient outcomes in individuals living with overweight and obesity who attended a 10-week multidisciplinary program delivered virtually vs. participants who completed the program in-person. Methods: Data from 27 youth (8-18 years old) who attended virtual programming were matched by sex and body mass index (BMI) z-sc ...

Imagining the beat: causal evidence for dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC) role in beat imagery via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

Author(s): Lazzari G; Ferreri L; Cattaneo L; Penhune V; Lega C;

The ability to internally generate and maintain a rhythmic pulse, i.e., beat imagery, is a fundamental aspect of musical cognition. While recent theories propose that premotor regions support internal temporal predictions during rhythm perception and imagery, direct causal evidence remains limited. In this study, we investigated the specific contributions ...

Quality Assessment of Health Information on Social Media During a Public Health Crisis: Infodemiology Study

Author(s): Haghighi R; Farhadloo M;

Background: The quality of health information on social media is a major concern, especially during the early stages of public health crises. While the quality of the results of the popular search engines related to particular diseases has been analyzed in the literature, the quality of health-related information on social media, such as X (formerly Twitt ...

Pseudocapacitive MXene@Fe-TA ternary mediator enhances denitrification via optimized electron transfer and microbial regulation in wastewater treatment

Author(s): Pan S; Wang X; Guo T; An H; Guo Y; Chen Z; Lian J; Guo J;

Inefficient electron transfer is one of the main challenges in practical denitrification applications. To address this issue, a novel ternary mediator functional material (Mxene@Fe-TA) was successfully synthesized, which exhibited pseudocapacitive properties to facilitate electron mediation and distribution. Batch experiments revealed that 50 mg/L MXene@F ...

Prevalence and characteristics of neuropathic pain in adolescent survivors of childhood cancer

Author(s): Mesaroli G; Olaizola S; Nair A; Nishat F; Pizzo A; Nathan PC; Alberts NM; Stinson JN;

Purpose: Neuropathic pain (NP) in individuals with cancer can arise from the cancer itself or its treatments. The prevalence of NP has been estimated in children living with cancer; however, the prevalence in adolescent survivorship is unknown. The aims of this study were to estimate the prevalence of NP among adolescent survivors of childhood cancer and ...

Child and marital stress are associated with a psychophysiological index of self-regulatory capacities among parents of preschool children

Author(s): MacNeil S; da Estrela C; Caldwell W; Gouin JP;

Objective: A parent's ability to self-regulate influences parenting practices. Child-related stressors may deplete parent's self-regulatory capacities. However, this effect may be moderated by the marital context within which stressful parent-child interactions are occurring. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between ...

Assessing in silico tools for accurate pathogenicity prediction in CHD nucleosome remodelers

Author(s): Rabouhi N; Guindon S; Coleman EA; van Heesbeen HJ; Greenwood CMT; Lu T; Campeau PM;

Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding (CHD) proteins compose a family of chromatin remodelers that play crucial roles in DNA repair and gene expression regulation, neural stem cell differentiation and chromatin integrity. Genetic variants in CHD chromatin remodelers are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders with features like autism spectrum disorder a ...

Deep learning-based feature discovery for decoding phenotypic plasticity in pediatric high-grade gliomas single-cell transcriptomics

Author(s): Abicumaran Uthamacumaran

Advancements in AI-powered systems medicine have revolutionized biomarker discovery through emergent and explainable features. By use of complex network dynamics and graph-based machine learning, we identified critical determinants of lineage-specific plasticity across the single-cell transcriptomics of pediatric high-grade glioma (pHGGs) subtypes: IDHWT ...

Intolerance of uncertainty, psychological symptoms, and pain in long-term childhood cancer survivors: a report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study

Author(s): Alberts NM; Stratton KL; Leisenring WM; Pizzo A; Lamoureux É; Alschuler K; Flynn J; Krull KR; Jibb LA; Nathan PC; Olgin JE; Stinson JN; Armstrong GT;

Purpose: Intolerance of uncertainty is central to many psychological disorders and may contribute to pain. Despite the uncertainty inherent in childhood cancer survivorship, little is known about intolerance of uncertainty in this population. This study aimed to characterize intolerance of uncert ...
