Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disabilities and insatiable appetite with compulsive eating leading to severe obesity detrimental health consequences. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown modulate decision-making cue-induced food craving in healthy adults. We conducted pilot double blind, sham-controlled, multicenter study of tDCS modulation drive 10 adult PWS participants, 11 obese (OB)...
Healthcare systems are being bombarded during the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding burnout, compassion fatigue, and potential protective factors, such as satisfaction, will be important in supporting vital healthcare workforce. The goal of current study was to understand key factors satisfaction among employees pandemic within U.S. April 2020.The authors conducted a single-center, cross-sectional online survey using Professional Quality Life (ProQOL) Questionnaire three open-ended questions...
Chronic alcohol use alters adaptive immunity and cytokine activity influencing immunological hormone responses, inflammation, wound healing. Brain disturbances may impact neurological function, mood, cognition traits related to alcoholism including impulsiveness. We examined the relationship between plasma levels self-rated psychiatric symptoms in 40 adult males (mean age 51 ± 6 years; range 33-58 years) with current dependence 30 control 48 40-58 no history of using multiplex sandwich...
Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurodevelopmental genetic disorder characterized by multiple system involvement with hypotonia, poor suck feeding difficulties, growth and other hormone deficiencies, intellectual disability, behavioral problems childhood onset of hyperphagia resulting in obesity, if not externally controlled. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been increasingly shown to modulate cognitive processes children adults, including food-intake behaviors patients...
Background All female mammals with 2 X chromosomes balance gene expression males having only 1 by inactivating one of their ( chromosome inactivation [XCI]). Analysis XCI in females offers the opportunity to investigate both ‐linked genetic factors and early embryonic development that may contribute alcoholism. Increases prevalence skewing women alcoholism could implicate biological risk factors. Methods The pattern was examined DNA isolated blood from 44 adult meeting DSM ‐ IV criteria for...
Objective: The androgen receptor ( AR ) gene, located on the X chromosome, contains a common polymorphism involving cytosine-adenine-guanine (CAG) repeats, which impacts disease and could contribute to unequal sex ratio in alcoholism. CAG repeats gene are known correlate with impulsivity males. We report first preliminary study examining association between number of measures females chronic Methods: A total 35 women 85 men alcoholism were previously recruited for nutritional clinical trial,...
Introduction. Escalating medical costs continue to be an issue facing contemporary medicine. One factor contributing this escalation may physicians’ knowledge of medication costs. As physicians increasingly face opportunities treat a variety symptoms and conditions in single patient, including co-morbid psychiatric disorders or complications, accurate becomes important. Methods. Resident attending (N = 16) across the disciplines internal medicine, psychiatry, combined medicine/psychiatry...
Introduction N-methyl D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors are glutamate and responsible for controlling memory function synaptic plasticity. 1 Activation of these requires binding with or aspartate. These present in the limbic system, hypothalamus, forebrain. 2 Binding antibodies to lead their removal from sites, thus leading changes functions. 3,4
