The clinical presentation, course and treatment of methamphetamine (METH)-associated psychosis (MAP) are similar to that observed in schizophrenia (SCZ) subsequently MAP has been hypothesized as a pharmacological environmental model SCZ. However, several challenges currently exist diagnosing accurately at the molecular neurocognitive level before can contribute discovery SCZ biomarkers. We directly assessed subcortical brain structural volumes parameters within framework an integrative...
Increasing the level of gravity passively on a centrifuge, should be equal to or even more beneficial not only astronauts living in microgravity environment but also patients confined bed. Gravity therapy (GT) may have effects numerous conditions, such as immobility due neuromuscular disorders, balance stroke, sports injuries. However, appropriate configuration for administering Gz load remains determined.To address these issues, we studied graded G-loads from 0.5 2.0g 24 young healthy, male...
Short-arm human centrifugation (SAHC) is proposed as a robust countermeasure to treat deconditioning and prevent progressive disability in case of secondary multiple sclerosis. Based on long-term physiological knowledge derived from space medicine missions, artificial gravity training seems be promising physical rehabilitation approach toward the prevention musculoskeletal decrement due confinement inactivity. So, present study proposes novel infrastructure based SAHC investigate hypothesis...
Leading theories of affect development and empirical studies suggest that emotion can enhance memory in older adults. Destination which is defined as the ability to remember whom we told a piece information being found be compromised aging. In present study, sought assess destination using emotional stimuli (Emotional Memory, EDM) 16 adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) healthy controls shed light onto its potential neurophysiological aspects. We measured Mu suppression frontal...
Fatigued pilots are prone to experience cognitive disorders that degrade their performance and adherence high safety standards. In light of the current challenging context in aviation, we report early phase our ongoing project on re-evaluation human factors research for flight crew. Our motivation stems from need aviation organisations develop decision support systems operational settings, able feed-in organisations’ fatigue risk management efforts. Key criteria this end least possible...
Summary We investigated the alterations of sleep regulation and promotion biomarkers as adenosine through its enzymes total deaminase (tADA)/adenosine (ADA2) in a microgravity analogue environment head‐down‐tilt bed rest their association with brain connectivity networks during non‐rapid eye movement stage 3 (NREM3), well effectiveness reactive sledge (RSL) jump countermeasure to promote sleep. A 23 healthy male volunteers were maintained 6° position for 30 days assigned either control or...
Varenicline (VAR) is a drug used for smoking cessation by intervening in nicotinic withdrawal and reward pathways the brain. VAR administration has been reported to affect sleep. The aim of this study was evaluate possible changes sleep architecture polysomnography (PSG) recordings during treatment (SmokeFreeBrain). <b>Methods:</b> 13 healthy smokers were evaluated with PSG (Embletta MPR-Master) before while 20-30 days after at least 5 days. PSGs manually scored according AASM criteria...
In this paper we propose a novel methodology for investigating pathological sleep patterns through network neuroscience approaches. It consists of initial identification statistically significant alterations in cortical functional connectivity patterns. The resulting sub-network is then analyzed by employing graph theory estimating both global performance metrics (integration and specialization) as well the significance specific nodes their hierarchical organization. So, with important role...
is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal that encompasses all aspects of tobacco use, prevention and cessation can promote a free society.The aim the to foster, disseminate research involving prevention, policy implementation at regional, national or international level, disease development -progression related use impact from cellular level finally treatment attributable through smoking cessation.
Sleep quality and maintenance of the optimal cognitive functioning is crucial importance for aviation safety. Fatigue Risk Management (FRM) enables operator to achieve objectives set in their safety FRM policies. As any other risk management cycle, value can be realized by deploying suitable tools that aid robust decision-making. For purposes our article, we focus on fatigue hazard identification explore possible developments forward through enhancement objective air transport operators. To...
