Dietary fish oil containing ω3 highly unsaturated fatty acids has cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. Prostaglandins (PGs) thromboxanes are produced in vivo both from the ω6 acid arachidonic (AA) eicosapentaenoic (EPA). Certain beneficial effects of may result altered PG metabolism resulting increases EPA/AA ratios precursor phospholipids. Here we report vitro specificities prostanoid enzymes receptors toward EPA-derived, 3-series versus AA-derived, 2-series substrates products....
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are becoming increasingly popular, but little is known about their dependence potential. This study aimed to assess ratings of on electronic and retrospectively compare them with rated tobacco among a large sample ex-smokers who switched e-cigs. A total 3,609 current users e-cigs were ex-cigarette smokers completed 158-item online survey e-cig use, including 10 items designed previous almost identical items, worded (range 0–20). Scores the 10-item Penn State...
Carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) is an increasingly common cause of health care-associated urinary tract infections. Antimicrobials with in vitro activity against CRKP are typically limited to polymyxins, tigecycline, and often, aminoglycosides. We conducted a retrospective cohort study cases bacteriuria at New York-Presbyterian Hospital from January 2005 through June 2010 compare microbiologic clearance rates based on the use polymyxin B, or aminoglycoside. constructed...
Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are increasingly prevalent pathogens. However, little is known about their emergence in patients with hematologic malignancies. We identified 18 malignancies over 3.5 years who developed bloodstream infections (BSIs) caused by CRE. Fourteen BSIs were Klebsiella pneumoniae, three Enterobacter cloacae, and one was polymicrobial. Initial empirical antimicrobial therapy active two (11%), a median of 55 h elapsed between culture collection receipt an...
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) are becoming increasingly popular but little is known about how e-cig users' transition between the different device types and what characteristics preferences may influence transition. Four thousand four hundred twenty-one experienced users completed an online survey their use, devices, preferences. Participants included in analysis were ever cigarette smokers who used at least 30 days lifetime reported type of first current nicotine concentration liquid....
The capability of electronic cigarette devices (e-cigs) to deliver nicotine is key their potential replace combustible cigarettes. We compared delivery and subjective effects associated with the use two classes e-cigarettes
In recent years, research applying functional neuroimaging to the study of cue-elicited drug craving has emerged. This begun identify a distributed system brain activity during craving. A review this literature suggested that expectations regarding opportunity use affected pattern neural responses elicited by cues. Using magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined effects smoking expectancy on response neutral (e.g., roll tape) and smoking-related (a cigarette) stimuli in male cigarette...
Prostacyclin (PGI2) and thromboxane (TxA2) are biological opposites; PGI2, a vasodilator inhibitor of platelet aggregation, limits the deleterious actions TxA2, vasoconstrictor activator. The molecular mechanisms involved in counterregulation PGI2/TxA2 signaling unclear. We examined interaction receptors for PGI2 (IP) TxA2 (TPα). IP-induced cAMP TP-induced inositol phosphate generation were unaltered when co-expressed HEK 293 cells (IP/TPα-HEK). TP-cAMP generation, response to TP agonists or...
The authors examined the effects of smoking expectancy on cue-reactivity among those motivated and unmotivated to quit using functional magnetic resonance imaging.Cue-elicited activation was observed in rostral prefrontal cortex (PFC) smokers who expected smoke within seconds, but not have wait hours before having chance smoke, regardless quitting motivation.For quitting-unmotivated expecting PFC strongly positively correlated with several areas previously linked cue-reactivity, including...
Background: Awareness and use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigs) has increased significantly in the past five years, but little is known about experiences, satisfaction, opinions preferences e-cigs users. Method: 1177 participants completed an online survey their cigarette preferences, which 200 were randomly selected for analysis. The data analyzed using both qualitative quantitative methods. Results: Participants found design, ability to customize, quality vapour be most important...
Interpersonal theory organizes social behavior along dominant (vs. submissive) and warm cold) dimensions. There is a growing interest in assessing these behaviors naturalistic settings to maximize ecological validity study dynamic processes. Studies that have assessed interpersonal daily life primarily relied on behavioral checklists. Although checklists advantages, they are discrepant with techniques used capture constructs typically alongside warmth dominance, such as affect, which rely...
The Experience Sampling Method (ESM) is increasingly used by researchers from various disciplines to answer novel questions about individuals’ daily lives. Measurement best practices have long been overlooked in ESM research, and recent reviews show that item quality often not reported studies. absence of information may partly be explained the lack consensus on how should evaluated. As part Item Repository project (esmitemrepository.com) — an international open science initiative collects...
