Background Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a highly prevalent condition among adults and correlated to high levels of pain, disability, lower quality life. Pain neuroscience education (PNE) helps explain the experience can affect psychosocial factors, such as fear movement, anxiety, socioeconomic status, work life satisfaction, etc. More recently, virtual reality (VR) programs have emerged allowing for immersive PNE experiences.
The five-coordinate iron(II) hydride complex (iPrPNP)Fe(H)(CO) (iPrPNP = N[CH2CH2(PiPr2)]2) selectively catalyzes the dehydrogenative intermolecular coupling of alcohols and secondary amines to form tertiary amides. This is most productive base-metal catalyst for amidation reported date, in some cases achieving up 600 turnovers. works well sterically undemanding or cyclic substrates particularly effective synthesis formamides from methanol. However, performance declines rapidly with...
Methanol is a crucial precursor for the preparation of many high-value commercial chemicals and synthesizing it from an inexpensive renewable carbon source such as dioxide (CO2) could have significant benefits. Herein, homogeneous iron(II) pincer complex catalytic generation methanol CO2 H2 via two-step process described. The reduction occurs through initial coupling with amine to give formamide. Subsequently, formamide undergoes deaminative hydrogenation afford regenerate amine. A net...
The objective of this study was to examine the role pain catastrophizing and self-efficacy as possible mediators race-based differences in intensity evaluate moderating race on relationship between with outcomes among persons chronic spinal receiving physical therapy.
An iridium trihydride complex supported by a bifunctional pincer ligand promotes the electrocatalytic reduction of CO<sub>2</sub> to formate in with excellent Faradaic efficiency and low overpotential.
Vascular health factors frequently co-occur with Alzheimer's disease (AD). A better understanding of how systemic vascular and cerebrovascular intersects clinical pathological AD may inform prevention treatment opportunities.To establish the Vanderbilt Memory & Aging Project, a case-control longitudinal study investigating brain aging, describe baseline methodology participant characteristics.From September 2012 to November 2014, 335 participants age 60- 92 were enrolled, including 168...
Substituted ureas have numerous applications but their synthesis typically requires the use of highly toxic starting materials. Herein we describe first base-metal catalyst for selective symmetric via dehydrogenative coupling methanol with primary amines. Using a pincer supported iron catalyst, range was generated isolated yields up to 80% (corresponding catalytic turnover 160) and H2 as sole byproduct. Mechanistic studies indicate stepwise pathway beginning dehydrogenation give...
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) screen was developed as a brief instrument to identify mild cognitive impairment and dementia among older individuals. To date, limited information is available regarding the neuroimaging signatures associated with performance on scale, or relationship between MoCA more comprehensive screening measures. present study examined performances 111 non-clinical adults (ages 51–85) enrolled in prospective of aging. Participants were administered MoCA,...
STUDY DESIGN: Case Report BACKGROUND: Medial epicondylalgia (ME), commonly known as golfer's elbow, is less frequently studied compared to lateral epicondylalgia. It presents significant treatment challenges, especially in active populations. This case report demonstrates a multifaceted therapeutic approach ME CrossFit athlete. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 34-year-old male athlete presented with two-week history of medial elbow pain, worsened by intense workouts. The described achy and sometimes...
Abstract A symptom of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a flat learning profile. Learning slope calculation methods vary, the optimal method for capturing neuroanatomical changes associated with MCI early AD pathology unclear. This study cross-sectionally compared four different measures from Rey Auditory Verbal Test (simple slope, regression-based two-slope method, peak slope) to structural neuroimaging markers neurodegeneration (hippocampal volume, cortical...

(ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02391350).2 health systems in Salt Lake City, Utah.220 adults aged 18 60 years sciatica of less 90 days' duration who were making an initial consultation.All participants received imaging and medication at the discretion...
OBJECTIVE: To create a consensus-based framework of manual therapy treatment approaches for the major mechanisms-based pain classifications established by International Association Study Pain (IASP) nociceptive, nociplastic, and neuropathic pain. DESIGN: The hybridized consensus survey included experts who participated in working groups external stakeholders. METHODS: Eighteen group members created theoretical frameworks mechanisms. were then sent to therapists and/or (stakeholders), rank...
Abstract Objective Disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could disproportionately affect health of vulnerable populations, including patients experiencing persistent conditions (i.e., chronic pain), along with populations living within deprived, lower socioeconomic areas. The current cross-sectional study characterized relationships between neighborhood deprivation and perceived changes in pain-related experiences during (early-September to mid-October 2020) for adult (N = 97)...

Speech perception and memory for speech require active engagement. Gestural theories have emphasized mainly the effect of speaker's movements on perception. They fail to address effects listener movement, focusing communication as a boundary condition constraining movement among interlocutors. The present work attempts break new ground by using multifractal geometry physical common currency supporting both sides speaker-listener dyads. Participants self-paced their listening narrative, after...
