Investigating Physical Exercise and Cognitive Training Effects on Cognition and Brain Health in Men and Women with Heart Failure: The ReCARDIO Trial

Author(s): Bherer L; Besnier F; Gagnon C; Vrinceanu T; Vincent T; Mohammadi H; Gauthier C; Duquesne C; Blanchette CA; Bérubé B; Said SN; Iglesies-Grau J; L' Allier P; Boulet J; Nigam A; Dionne V; Benhalima H; Dubé MP; Duchesne S; Belleville S; ...

Cognitive impairment can affect up to 50% of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and is associated with reduced treatment adherence, high mortality rates, and poor quality of life. Nonpharmacologic strategies, including cognitive intervention and physical exercise training, may help enhance ...

Sex differences in the association of adverse childhood experiences with brain and cognition along a continuum of risk for Alzheimer s disease

Author(s): Perovic M; Phillips NA; Einstein G;

Introduction: Women make up two-thirds of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Research has focused on biological explanations for this sex difference, while contributions of psychosocial risk factors are less well understood. Methods: We examined sex differences in the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on late-life cognition in groups ...

Foraging benefits of winning intergroup encounters in colobus monkeys

Author(s): Wikberg EC; Lucci S; Glotfelty E; Campos F; Sicotte P;

Winners of aggressive intergroup encounters are often assumed to benefit from increased access to resources, but few studies have measured whether there is differential access to resources based on the intergroup outcome. To investigate whether winning intergroup encounters is associated with increased access to food, we used 13 months of data on intergro ...

Reimagining the Biopsychosocial Model: Transdiagnostic Factors to Precision Psychiatry

Author(s): Nikolic M; Caswell CB; Prada NP; Iqbal M; Cox SML; Jaworska N; Castellanos-Ryan N; Vitaro F; Brendgen M; Parent S; Boivin M; Côté S; Tremblay RE; Séguin JR; Leyton M;

Background: We recently reported evidence that a biopsychosocial model predicts lifetime histories of commonly comorbid early-onset psychiatric disorders. This transdiagnostic model was produced when incorporating either positron emission tomography-measured midbrain dopamine autoreceptors or fun ...

On the Implementation of a Compact Vertical DC Biasing Network with Significantly Reduced RF Components for Phase-Shifter-Free Beam Steering

Author(s): Zheng S; Qian B; Chen X; Kishk AA;

Dense direct-current (DC) bias routing and numerous radio-frequency (RF) choke inductors pose major challenges to the practical implementation of phase-shifter-free beam steering using PIN-controlled phase switching. To address this issue, a compact vertical DC biasing network is proposed, in which most DC bias lines are routed beneath the ground plane. T ...

From Rapid Reviews to Rapid Living Evidence Synthesis: Lessons From COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Reviews for Canadian Public Health Decision-Making

Author(s): Wu N; Joyal-Desmarais K; Linkins LA; Flórez ID; Bacon SL;

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic demanded evidence synthesis approaches that could keep pace with rapidly evolving science and urgent policy needs. Rapid reviews and living evidence syntheses (LES) emerged as critical methodological responses, yet limited guidance exists for teams undertaking such work, particularly regarding the operational challenges o ...

The painted fieldnote: A method for contending with teaching, research, and place

Author(s): David LeRue

This practitioner reflection examines how painting in plein-air-meaning outdoors from life-inspired multimodal fieldnotes that became the node between research, teaching, and place. This work was conducted during a 4-year, community-engaged art education study where the community art classroom was employed to develop participatory arts-based research meth ...

Whole-Night Gentle Rocking Improves Sleep in Poor Sleepers With Insomnia Complaints

Author(s): Perrault AA; Cross NE; Dang Vu TT; Schwartz S; Bayer L;

Specific brain oscillations can be manipulated during sleep to improve sleep quality and memory performance. We previously demonstrated that continuous rocking stimulation (0.25 Hz, lateral movement) applied to good sleepers during sleep enhanced stable deep sleep, boosted NREM oscillations (spindles and slow waves) and memory consolidation. Here, we inve ...

Enhanced co-removal of nitrate and tetracycline from wastewater by iron-nitrogen-doped carbon: synergistic role of pyridinic nitrogen and iron

Author(s): Yang W; Wang X; Li H; Liu W; Chen Z; Ren B; Guo T; Guo J;

Co-pollution of nitrate and tetracycline (TC) poses a critical barrier to efficient biological treatment due to impaired electron transfer, diminished microbial metabolic activity, and disrupted community structure. To address this challenge, this study synthesized an iron-nitrogen-doped carbon material (Fe-NC) featuring electron-withdrawing pyridinic nit ...

Low levels of organization and consistency in the home in middle childhood predicts cortisol levels and internalizing symptoms 12 years later among the offspring of parents with bipolar disorder

Author(s): Ellenbogen MA; Serravalle L; Hodgins S; Walker CD; Walker EF;

The offspring of parents with bipolar disorder (OBD) are at high risk for developing affective disorders. Low levels of organization and consistency in the home (parenting structure) is associated with increased behavioral problems and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) reactivity in the OBD and thus may be an important developmental risk factor. We als ...

Essentialist beliefs about accented speakers moderate the effect of processing fluency on employability ratings

Author(s): Teló C; O' Brien MG; Trofimovich P;

Accented second language (L2) speakers are frequently evaluated less favorably than first language (L1) speakers in employment contexts. Processing fluency (the subjective ease of understanding a speaker) has been identified as an experiential variable that helps explain why L2 speakers tend to receive lower workplace-relevant evaluations. However, less i ...
