The Body Acceptance by Others Scale-2: An examination of its psychometric properties in a French-Canadian adult sample

Author(s): Maïano C; Swami V; Tylka TL; Aimé A;

The 13-item Body Acceptance by Others Scale-2 (BAOS-2) is an instrument designed to measure generalised perceptions of body acceptance by others. Here, we examined the psychometric properties of a novel French translation of the BAOS-2. A total of 763 French-speaking adults from Canada were asked to complete the BAOS-2, alongside additional validated meas ...

How vigilance states influence source imaging of physiological brain oscillations: evidence from intracranial EEG

Author(s): Wei X; Afnan J; Avigdor T; von Ellenrieder N; Delaire É; Royer J; Ho A; Minato E; Schiller K; Jaber K; Wang YL; Moye M; Bernhardt BC; Lina JM; Grova C; Frauscher B;

Cortical oscillations across sleep-wake cycles are essential for coordinating functional brain dynamics. High-density electroencephalography (HDEEG) combined with electrical source imaging (ESI) provides a noninvasive approach to map cortical dynamics; however, its ability to capture spatial ongo ...

The effectiveness of Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia on sleep EEG hyperarousal: a multicentric polysomnographic study

Author(s): Sforza M; Morin CM; Dang-Vu TT; Pomares FB; Perrault AA; Gouin JP; Bušková J; Janku K; Vgontzas A; Fernandez-Mendoza J; Bastien CH; Riemann D; Baglioni C; Carollo G; Casoni F; Zucconi M; Castronovo V; Galbiati A; Ferini-Strambi L;

Chronic Insomnia Disorder (ID) is characterized by hyperarousal, a key pathophysiological feature. While Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) is the first-line treatment, its physiological effects on sleep-related hyperarousal remain underexplored. This study assessed the impact of C ...

Electronic Effects on the Self-Assembly of Monolayers from Surfactants Possessing Aromatic Headgroups

Author(s): Gaba JH; DeWolf CE; Muchall HM;

Surfactant monolayers at interfaces provide a platform to investigate molecular self-assembly in pseudo-two-dimensional systems. It has been previously reported by this group that Langmuir monolayers of octadecylgallate (ODG), a phenolic surfactant, display long-range headgroup-headgroup ordering observable using grazing-incidence X-ray diffraction. Such ...

Assessment of PlanetScope Spectral Data for Estimation of Peanut Leaf Area Index Using Machine Learning and Statistical Methods

Author(s): Ekwe M; Fernando H; James G; Adeluyi O; Verrelst J; Kross A;

Leaf area index (LAI) is a key indicator of crop growth and development and is widely used in both agricultural research and precision farming applications. PlanetScope imagery is generally used for monitoring crop growth due to its high revisit frequency, broad spatial coverage, and cost-effective access to consistent high-resolution multispectral data. ...

Endangered species laws and the inclusion of Indigenous knowledges and sciences in risk assessments

Author(s): Grimm J; Soares BE; Zanjani LV; Ballard M; Chiblow S; Andrade RS; Duncan AT; Fraser DJ; Mandrak NE; Bernos TA;

Indigenous Peoples actively manage or have tenure rights over lands where many rare and valued species occur. To meet national and global conservation targets, it is important to meaningfully consider Indigenous knowledges and rights in endangered species laws. We examined whether the Canadian Sp ...

Smart Optogenetics for Real-Time Automated Control of Cardiac Electrical Activity

Author(s): Deng S; Harlaar N; Zhang J; Dekker SO; Kudryashova NN; Zhou H; Bart CI; Jin T; Derevyanko G; van Driel W; Panfilov AV; Poelma RH; de Vries AAF; Zhang G; De Coster T; Pijnappels DA;

Control theory underpins the stabilization of dynamic systems, including cardiac tissue, where disruptions in electrical conduction cause arrhythmias. Current treatments either act rapidly but without precision or deliver targeted interventions that cannot adapt in real time. We present an integr ...

Gaza: rethinking and decolonizing mental health responses in humanitarian emergencies

Author(s): Mc Mahon A; Merchant H; Alkhatib S; Khanyari S; Alami T; Sader E; Nachabe J; El-Khoury J; Jabr S;

Longstanding armed conflicts generate distinctive psychological wounds, transforming collective bonds and reconfiguring individuals' perceptions of identity, security, and trust, enduring. The occupied Palestinian territories exemplify this violence, as prolonged occupation has produced deep, ...

Cardiorespiratory fitness in relation to cerebral vascular and metabolic health in older adults with coronary artery disease

Author(s): Sanami S; Tremblay SA; Potvin-Jutras Z; Rezaei A; Sabra D; Gagnon C; Intzandt B; Mainville-Berthiaume A; Wright L; Gayda M; Iglesies-Grau J; Nigam A; Bherer L; Gauthier CJ;

This study investigated whether higher cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) is associated with better cerebral vascular and metabolic health-specifically cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2), and oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) acr ...

Creeping snow drought threatens Canada s water supply

Author(s): Sarpong R; Nazemi A; AghaKouchak A;

Snow water is key to water supply in cold regions and beyond. Here we introduce Snow Water Availability that quantifies water stored in the snow-covered portion of an area. By integrating a plausible set of available gridded datasets for snow depth, density, and cover fraction, we form four estimates of Snow Water Availability at the 25 × 25 km2 across Ca ...

A pilot randomized controlled trial comparing the feasibility and preliminary effects of different forms of exercise-related social support for older adult survivors of cancer

Author(s): Smith-Turchyn J; Sinclair S; O' Loughlin E; Innes A; Richardson J; Pillips S; Beauchamp M; Thabane L; Wrosch C; Sabiston CM;

Purpose: To determine the feasibility and effectiveness of two forms of social support (peer and peer plus virtual professional support) on quality of life, feelings of support, and exercise levels in older adult survivors of cancer. Methods: We conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial. Par ...

Characterizing forearm skeletal muscle composition and function in breast cancer-related lymphedema using B-mode ultrasonography

Author(s): Whyte J; Towers A; Boily M; Rosenthall L; Rivaz H; Kilgour RD;

Background: Skeletal muscle thickness, echo intensity, and quality are important morphological properties; however, little is known how these variables compare between the affected and unaffected forearms in breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). Methods: Using B-mode ultrasound, we recorded the raw radiofrequency data of the affected and unaffected fo ...
