Deposition and aggregation of β-amyloid (Aβ) peptides are demonstrated to be closely related to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Development of functional molecules capable of visualizing Aβ1-40 aggregates with nanoscale resolution and even modulating Aβ assembly has attracted great attention recently. In this work, we use mon…[Read more]

Further studies are necessary to clarify the beneficial effects in disease conditions and in healthy organisms.Photo-responsive cell attachment surfaces can simplify patterning and recovery of cells in microdevices for medicinal and pharmaceutical research. We developed a photo-responsive surface for controlling the attachment and release of…[Read more]

surance could be better used for questions of health services research.Chronic pain is a frequent and disabling condition that is significantly maintained by central sensitization, which results in pathological amplification of responses to noxious and innocuous stimuli. As such, mechanical allodynia, or pain in response to a tactile stimulus that…[Read more]

1%) and served in a war (68.0%). Hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity were the most common CVD risk factors reported. Average CVD knowledge score was 85%. Marines scored higher on resilience than other branches of the military. Seventeen percent reported having PTSD. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 was significantly correlated with…[Read more]

s. Discussion The findings may highlight a need for interventions beyond the traditional emphasis on psychiatric symptoms in order to improve functioning following an inpatient admission. Implications for practice Interventions to improve functioning in recently discharged people with SMI may need to be specifically designed to improve patients’…[Read more]
