Abstract Autoreactive T cells are critical in the initiation and maintenance of autoantibody responses that a hallmark systemic lupus erythematosus. However, direct contribution end-organ disease like glomerulonephritis (GN) is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated role progression GN NZM2328 mice, murine model spontaneous At 26 wk age, female mice showed glomerular immune complex deposits acute proliferative GN. This was associated with up-regulation MHC class II detection...
Brain tumors located close to the language cortex may distort functional MRI (fMRI)-based estimates of dominance. The nature this distortion, and whether is an artifact numerous confounders, remains unknown. authors hypothesized tumor bias based on laterality independent confounders that effects are greatest for proximal Broca's area.
Objectives To investigate indicators of potentially hazardous alcohol use among older adults living in a region with high substance stigma.
Abstract Objectives Lifetime and daily experiences of discrimination contribute to impaired performance on cognitive assessments. However, the underlying mechanism by which negatively affects cognition is unclear. Recent research investigating stress-induced impairment metamemory may address relationship between impairment. Methods The aim this study was determine lifetime discrimination, affect balance, baseline objective performance, sociodemographic variables (age, race, ethnicity, sex)...
Abstract The Building Bridges national virtual conference, held in March 2021, aimed to provide opportunities for psychologists discuss the dramatic geropsychological workforce shortage, identify means address this and discover challenges ongoing efforts diversify moving forward. Fifty-six individuals at all stages of training completed a pre-conference survey about diversification identified advertising outreach (12.6%), student faculty recruitment (11.5%), culturally aware mentorship...
Abstract While research addressing late-life death anxiety (the fear of or the dying process) has focused on end-of-life care decision-making, few have studied effect financial decision-making. This is particularly relevant to decision-making as older adults are more vulnerable fraud and deception. The aim this study was determine how age affect in a sample 60-93 years (N = 102), who participated HCP-A project at UCLA. To relationship, we used delayed reward discounting task model where...
Abstract Examining day-to-day responses to everyday stressors, such as discrimination, contextualizes how cognitive aging trajectories may vary across the lifespan. Furthermore, recent research investigating stress-induced impairment of metamemory address relationship between discrimination experiences and impairment. This study sought articulate association daily impaired lifespan, defined by number subjective complaints, using data collected from Midlife in United States Refresher Study...
Abstract Lifetime and recent experiences of discrimination (based on race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, etc.) contribute to impaired performance cognitive assessments. However, the underlying mechanism by which negatively impacts cognition is unclear. Recent research investigating stress-induced impairment metamemory may address relationship between impairment. The aim this study was determine lifetime discrimination, especially experiences, everyday from a lifespan perspective...
Abstract Based on the acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) framework, human suffering is thought to be caused by psychological inflexibility. Psychological inflexibility characterized rigid avoidance of unpleasant experiences, fusion with unhelpful thoughts, lack contact present moment, a narrow self-narrative, clarity one’s core values in life. captures or unworkable ways which individuals respond emotional discomfort. Research using samples adults under age 65 indicate that associated...
Abstract Rural-urban disparities in cognitive health outcomes, such as greater prevalence of decline among rural-dwelling older adults, have been linked to inequity access care. However, few studies demonstrated whether longitudinal increased care may mitigate disparities. This paper presents data from ongoing systematically collected behavioral on new and returning patients at an interdisciplinary geriatrics clinic the University Alabama Medical Center. The aim this study was determine...
