Objective: Delirium is a common and potentially life-threatening clinical syndrome. The authors investigated resting-state functional connectivity in patients with delirium to elucidate possible neural mechanisms underlying this disorder. Method: Twenty-two underwent initial MRI at rest during an episode of delirium. Of these patients, 14 completed follow-up scans after the resolved. comparison subjects without also scanning. assessed cortical using seed region posterior cingulate cortex...

Chronic alcohol consumption affects multiple cognitive processes supported by far-reaching cerebral networks. To identify neurofunctional mechanisms underlying selective deficits, 27 sober alcoholics and 26 age-matched controls underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging neuropsychological testing. Functional connectivity analysis assessed the default mode network (DMN); integrative executive control (EC), salience (SA), attention (AT) networks; primary somatosensory,...

Addictions have recently been classified as substance use disorder (SUD) and behavioral addiction (BA), but the concept of BA is still debatable. Therefore, it necessary to conduct further neuroscientific research understand mechanisms same extent SUD. The present study used machine learning (ML) algorithms investigate neuropsychological neurophysiological aspects addictions in individuals with internet gaming (IGD) alcohol (AUD). We developed three models for distinguishing IGD from those...

The co-prescription of multiple antipsychotic drugs continues to increase despite a lack evidence supporting this practice. purpose study was quantify and describe recent trends polypharmacy in Korean schizophrenic inpatients by comparing prescribed medications between the years 2005 2010.We reviewed comprehensive medication profiles patients discharged from university psychiatric hospital (n=194) or 2010 (n=201). Antipsychotic defined as concurrent receipt two more chemically distinct...

The influence of the illumination condition on our cognitive-performance seems to be more critical in modern life, wherein, most people work an office under a specific condition. However, neurophysiological changes state and their cognitive interpretation still remain unclear. Thereby, present study, effect different conditions same performance was evaluated particularly by EEG wavelet analyses. During sustained attention task, we observed that higher yielded significantly lower parietal...

Abstract Reduced executive control is one of the central components model on development and maintenance Internet gaming disorder (IGD). Among various problems, high impulsivity has consistently been associated with IGD. We performed voxel‐based morphometric analysis diffeomorphic anatomical registration by using an exponentiated Lie algebra algorithm (DARTEL) to investigate relationship gray matter abnormalities in Thirty‐one young male adults whose excessive began early adolescence, 30...

Background and aims Altered risk/reward decision-making is suggested to predispose individuals with Internet gaming disorder (IGD) pursue short-term pleasure, despite long-term negative consequences. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) the orbitofrontal (OFC) play important roles in decision-making. This study investigated gray matter differences ACC OFC of young adults without IGD using surface-based morphometry (SBM). Methods We examined 45 male 35 age-matched controls. performed region...

Background and aims Smartphone use is becoming commonplace exerting adequate control over smartphone has become an important mental health issue. Little known about the neurobiology underlying problematic use. We hypothesized that structural abnormalities in fronto-cingulate brain region could be implicated use, similar to been reported for Internet gaming disorder addiction. This study investigated gray matter users, particularly those who spend time on social networking platforms. Methods...

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have accelerated the development of conversational agents capable generating human-like responses. Since psychiatric assessments typically involve complex interactions between psychiatrists and patients, there is growing interest developing LLM-based assessment (PACAs) that aim to simulate role clinical evaluations. However, standardized methods for benchmarking appropriateness PACAs' interaction with patients still remain underexplored. Here,...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect boiled feed on meat quality as a fundamental establish standardized feeding regime for cows. Cow beef strip loins (M. longissimus lumborum) from two different cow groups (n = 10 each; CON, finishing with normal feed; TR, feed) were used evaluate muscle fiber characteristics, traits, and fatty acid amino composition. cut surface 7th-8ththoracic vertebrae analyze characteristics. Muscle characteristics not significantly between CON TR (P >...

Increased reports of impulsivity and aggression in male adolescents with Internet gaming might reflect their dysfunction emotion regulation, particularly suppression negative emotions, which should affect the various stages disorder. This study tested hypothesis that disorder would be more disturbed by emotional interference demonstrate compromised dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) activation during a Stroop Match-to-Sample task. In addition, functional connectivity analysis was...

This study was conducted to find pork quality meet the needs of consumers. Thus, meat and fatty acid composition longissimus muscles from purebred pigs (Landrace, Yorkshire, Duroc) three-way crossbred LYD were compared evaluated. Chemical compositions significant (p<0.05) different among pigs. Duroc contained higher fat contents than other pigs, whereas moisture observed in Landrace, those The values pH24 h pH14 d highest Landrace Myoglobin Regarding color, Yorkshire had redness while lowest...
