This study explored the viability and efficacy of integrating cadence-matched, salient music into a walking intervention for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Twenty-two people PD were randomised to control (CTRL, n = 11) or experimental (MUSIC, group. MUSIC subjects walked an individualised playlist three times week period. Playlists designed meet subject's musical preferences. In addition, tempo closely matched (±10-15 bpm) preferred cadence. CTRL continued their regular activities...
Abstract Unlike laboratory rats and mice, muridae of the Arvicanthis family ( A. ansorgei niloticus ) are adapted to functioning best in daylight. To date, they have been used as experimental models mainly studies circadian rhythms. However, recent work aimed at optimizing photoreceptor‐directed gene delivery vectors (Khani et al. [ 2007 ] Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 48:3954–3961) suggests their potential usefulness for studying retinal pathologies therapies. In present study we analyzed...
Background The retina has a unique three-dimensional architecture, the precise organization of which allows for complete sampling visual field. Along radial or apicobasal axis, retinal neurons and their dendritic axonal arbors are segregated into layers, while perpendicular to this in tangential plane, four six neuronal types form patterned cellular arrays, mosaics. Currently, molecular cues that control cell positioning not well-understood, especially those operate plane. Here we...
Although high rates of injury occur in youth ice hockey, disagreements exist about the risks and benefits permitting bodychecking. We sought to evaluate associations between experience with bodychecking concussion among hockey players aged 15-17 years.We obtained data from a prospective cohort study years Alberta who played leagues that permitted collected over 3 seasons play (2015/16-2017/18). compared based on (≤ 2 v. ≥ yr), estimated using local national policy region play. used validated...
Abstract The auditory cortex (AC) is the major origin of descending projections and one targets cholinergic basal forebrain, nucleus basalis (NB). In big brown bat, cortical activation evokes frequency‐specific plasticity in inferior colliculus NB augments this collicular plasticity. To examine whether function contributions to are different between bat mouse extend findings we induced central by a tone paired with electrical stimulation (hereafter referred as tone‐ES ). We show here that...
The Cacna1f(nob2) mouse is reported to be a naturally occurring null mutation for the Ca(v)1.4 calcium channel gene and phenotype of this not identical that targeted knockout model. We found two mRNA species in mouse: approximately 90% represents transcript with an in-frame stop codon within exon 2 CACNA1F, while 10% which alternative splicing ETn element has removed codon. This latter codes full length protein, detectable by Western blot analysis predicted differ from wild type protein...
Objectives To compare rates of injury and concussion among U-15 (ages 13–14 years) ice hockey players playing in leagues allowing body checking, but who have a varying number years checking experience. Methods This 5-year longitudinal cohort included where policy allowed checking. Years experience were classified based on national/local policy. All game-related injuries identified using validated surveillance methodology. Players with suspected referred to study sport medicine physician....
Congenital stationary night blindness 2A (CSNB2A) is an X-linked retinal disorder, characterized by phenotypically variable signs and symptoms of impaired vision. CSNB2A due to mutations in CACNA1F, which codes for the pore-forming α1F subunit a L-type voltage-gated calcium channel, Cav1.4. Mouse models CSNB2A, used characterizing effects various Cacna1f mutations, have revealed greater severity defects than human CSNB2A. Specifically, Cacna1f-knockout mice show apparent lack visual...
Increasing rates of sport-related concussion (SRC) in youth impose a significant burden on public health systems and the lives young athletes. Accurate prediction for those likely to develop persistent post-concussion symptomology (PPCS) using fluid biomarker, reflecting both acute injury recovery processes, would provide opportunity early intervention. Cortisol, stress hormone released through hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis following injury, may missing physiological link...
OBJECTIVE: To examine modifiable and nonmodifiable factors for associations with dance-related injury among preprofessional ballet dancers over 5 academic years. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. METHODS: Full-time (n = 452; 399 female; median age [range], 15 years [11-21]) participated across at a vocational school. Participants completed baseline screening online weekly questionnaires including dance exposure (hours/week). Zero-inflated Poisson regression models were used to between...
Abstract This paper discusses cultural psychology and psychological training in football (soccer). Self‐Determination Theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 1980) has shown to be pragmatically successful sport suggests that being regulated by autonomous forms of motivation leads better outcomes. Cultural psychologists would tempted dismiss SDT because it is predicated on an a‐cultural approach mind. It possible nurture a stronger more effective team culture reframing direction. As such, this outlines...
<h3>Background</h3> Ice hockey is a popular global sport with growing participation for boys and girls yet remains high-risk injury sport. While evidence risk factors including bodychecking policy have been well established, others such as sex concussion history understudied to date. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine associated game practice-related rates in Canadian adolescent (ages 11–17) ice hockey. <h3>Design</h3> Prospective cohort (2013–2018). <h3>Setting</h3> Community arenas....
Introduction Ice hockey is a popular global sport with growing participation for boys and girls yet remains high-risk injury. While the evidence some risk factors, such as bodychecking policy well established, other factors player sex have been understudied. The objectives of this study were to examine associated rates game-related injury, injury resulting in >7 days time-loss, practice-related youth ice hockey.
Cheiron's Young Scholar Award Committee is pleased to announce that Matthew Soleiman, a PhD candidate in the Department of History and Science Studies Program at University California, San Diego, has been chosen receive 2023 award for his paper "Recerebrated: The rise clinic twentieth-century science pain." Using published archival sources, Soleiman's examines two key developments early- mid-20th-century pain research. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Background Treatment for post-traumatic greater occipital neuralgia (GON) includes serial injections of steroid/anesthetic. While these can alleviate pain, effects be transient, frequently lasting only 1 month. As a potential alternative, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) are an emerging biological treatment with beneficial in peripheral nerve disorders. We investigated the feasibility, safety, and effectiveness single PRP injection GON comparison to saline or steroid/anesthetic injection. Methods...
The Psychological Science Accelerator’s (PSA) primary project tested for latent structure using exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory but we decided to diverge from this approach model individual traits separately. Our interest mainly was in examining the interplay between “stimulus ethnicity” sex” discover how differing levels of these criterion differ across region, country, lab etc. While necessary prerequisite hierarchical structural information about each trait could certainly be...
In the last issue of this journal, Ben Harris authored a research note on Margaret Floy Washburn and her cats (see record 2023-67784-001). What was not included with that piece an image Washburn's bookplate, which shows cat (quite possibly likeness most acclaimed cat, "Hiram") accompanying Biblical verse in Greek, taken from 1 Thessalonians 5:21, translated reads as "Test all things; hold fast what is good (NKJV)."
