The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire is a brief, self-administered designed to quantify headache-related disability over 3 month period. MIDAS score has been shown have moderately high test–retest reliability in headache sufferers and correlated with clinical judgment regarding the need for medical care. aim of study was examine validity score, five items comprising compared data from 90 day daily diary used, part, record acute headache. In population-based sample, 144...
Abstract: We investigated the impact of light exposure history on sensitivity in humans, as assessed by magnitude suppression melatonin secretion nocturnal light. The hypothesis was that following a week increased daytime bright‐light exposure, subjects would become less sensitive to light, and after restriction dimmer they more sensitive. During bright week, (n = 12) obtained 4.3 ± 0.4 hr per day (by going outside using boxes indoors). dim wore dark goggles (about 2% transmission) when...
Two types of reflux episodes have been identified: upright or daytime and supine nocturnal. The population-based prevalence symptoms nocturnal gastroesophageal disease (GERD) the impact those on health-related quality life (HRQL) not established.A national random-sample telephone survey was conducted to estimate frequent GERD GERD-like assess relationship between HRQL, GERD, symptoms. Respondents were classified as controls, subjects with symptomatic nonnocturnal GERD. HRQL assessed using...
Various combinations of interventions were used to phase-delay circadian rhythms correct their misalignment with night work and day sleep. Young participants (median age = 22, n 67) participated in 5 consecutive simulated shifts (2300 0700) then slept at home (0830 1530) darkened bedrooms. Participants wore sunglasses normal or dark lenses (transmission 15% 2%) when outside during the day. took placebo melatonin (1.8 mg sustained release) before daytime During shifts, exposed a moving...
To assess performance, alertness, and mood during the night shift subsequent daytime sleep in relation to degree of re-alignment (re-entrainment) circadian rhythms with a night-work, day-sleep schedule.Subjects spent 5 consecutive shifts (11:00 pm-7:00 am) lab slept at home darkened bedrooms (8:30 am-3:30 pm). Subjects were categorized by re-entrainment attained after shifts. Completely re-entrained: temperature minimum second half sleep; partially first not did delay enough reach sleep.See...
Night shift work is associated with a myriad of health and safety risks. Phase‐shifting the circadian clock such that it more aligned night day sleep one way to attenuate these However, workers will not be satisfied complete adaptation if leaves them misaligned during days off. Therefore, goal this set studies produce compromise phase position in which individuals working shifts delay their clocks compatible nighttime daytime yet incompatible late on This first describing magnitude delays...
Abstract This study aimed to test the differences of weight-related self-stigma and mental health conditions between overweight (OW) non-OW children in Hong Kong. The correlations were also investigated. Children aged 8 12 years ( n = 367; 198 boys) completed questionnaires on (Weight Bias Internalization Scale [WBIS] Weight Self-Stigma Questionnaire [WSSQ]) (Brief Symptom Rating Scale-5 [BSRS-5]). Compared with 241; 143 boys), OW 114; 55 had higher WBIS (26.49 ± 8.68 vs. 21.58 7.54; p <...
Purpose To assess the normal variations in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measured with optical coherence tomography (OCT). Subjects and Methods Both eyes of 48 individuals (age 56.4±9.5 y) vision refractive errors between ±6.0 D were tested fast RNFL scan protocol OCT3 (Zeiss Meditech). Their 256-point profiles exported for analysis. The location peak amplitude maxima measured. Intersubject interocular assessed a coefficient determination, R2. An R2 1.0 indicated that average...
Exogenous melatonin administration in humans is known to exert both chronobiotic (phase shifting) and soporific effects. In a previous study our lab, young, healthy, subjects worked five consecutive simulated night shifts (23:00 07:00 h) slept during the day (08:30 15:30 h). Large phase delays of various magnitudes were produced by interventions, which included bright light exposure shifts, as assessed dim onset (DLMO) before (baseline) after (final) shifts. Subjects also ingested either 1.8...
Technical adequacy and usability are important considerations in selecting early childhood social-emotional (SE) screening assessment measures. As identification of difficulties can be tied to programming, intervention, accountability, funding, it is imperative that practitioners decision makers select appropriate quality measures from the plethora available. This study systematically reviewed evaluated technical 10 commonly used SE measures, using a framework for evaluating selected...
Binary expression systems like the LexA-LexAop system provide a powerful experimental tool kit to study gene and tissue function in developmental biology, neurobiology, physiology. However, number of well-defined LexA enhancer trap insertions remains limited. In this study, we present molecular characterization initial analysis nearly 100 novel StanEx traps, derived from
Researchers have reported benefits of working memory training in various populations, however, the gains preterm population is still inadequately studied. This study aimed to investigate transfer and lasting effects an online program on a group children aged between 4 6 years (mean gestational age = 28.3 weeks; mean birth weight 1153 grams). Children were asked perform Cogmed JM at home for approximately 15 minutes day, 5 days week weeks. Their nontrained attention assessed pre-training,...
Although the gender gap in medical school matriculation has closed, 1 representation of women leadership roles academic medicine been reported to be low, particularly among departmental chairs. 2 This study evaluates extent progress female program directors (PDs), chairs, and deans provide a valuable benchmark by which evaluate future progress.Methods | We obtained data on deans, faculty from Association American Medical Colleges database 3 January 1, 2010, through December 31, 2019, for...
The current study examined the executive function (EF) deficits and their roles in reading one hundred four Cantonese-speaking children with typical development, disabilities (RD), ADHD, comorbid ADHD RD (ADHD + RD). Children's EF skills were measured. Analysis of variance results showed that all disorders manifested verbal visuospatial short-term working memory behavioral inhibition. Moreover, also exhibited inhibition (IC BI) cognitive flexibility. These findings demonstrated Chinese RD,...
