Differential Dopamine D1 and D3 Receptor Modulation and Expression in the Spinal Cord of Two Mouse Models of Restless Legs Syndrome
(2018-09-04)
Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is often and successfully treated with dopamine receptor
agonists that target the inhibitory D3 receptor subtype, however there is no clinical
evidence of a D3 receptor dysfunction in RLS ...
Effects of aerobic training with and without weight loss on insulin sensitivity and lipids
(2018-05-18)
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of exercise training with modest or greater weight loss (≥3%) or not (<3%) on insulin sensitivity, lipoprotein concentrations, and lipoprotein particle size ...
Driving Decisions: Distinguishing Evaluations, Providers and Outcomes
(2018-05-11)
Driving is a highly valued instrumental activity of daily living on which many older adults depend for access to their community. The demand to address driving is changing as older adults experience increasing longevity ...
Early Mobility in the Hospital: Lessons Learned from the STRIDE Program
(2018-09-26)
Immobility during hospitalization is widely recognized as a contributor to deconditioning, functional loss, and increased need for institutional post-acute care. Several studies have demonstrated that inpatient walking ...
Effects of finite coverage on global polarization observables in heavy ion collisions
(2018-05-10)
In non-central relativistic heavy ion collisions, the created matter possesses a large initial orbital angular momentum. Particles produced in the collisions could be polarized globally in the direction of the orbital ...
Bilaterally Combined Electric and Acoustic Hearing in Mandarin-Speaking Listeners: The Population With Poor Residual Hearing
(2018-01-16)
The hearing loss criterion for cochlear implant candidacy in mainland China is extremely stringent (bilateral severe to
profound hearing loss), resulting in few patients with substantial residual hearing in the nonimplanted ...
Bias in meta-analyses using Hedges’ d
(2018-09-25)
The type of metric and weighting method used in meta-analysis can create bias and alter coverage of confidence intervals when the estimated effect size and its weight are correlated. Here, we investigate
bias associated ...
Baryon spectra and antiparticle-to-particle ratios from the improved AMPT model
(2018-02-02)
The current version of a multi-phase transport (AMPT) model with string melting can reasonably describe the dN/dy yields, pT spectra and anisotropic flows of pions and kaons at low pT in heavy ion collisions at RHIC and ...
Desiccation tolerance in Acinetobacter baumannii is mediated by the two-component response regulator BfmR
(2018-10-11)
For the opportunistic pathogen Acinetobacter baumannii, desiccation tolerance is thought to
contribute significantly to the persistence of these bacteria in the healthcare environment.
We investigated the ability of A. ...
Delineation and mapping of coastal shark habitat within a shallow lagoonal estuary
(2018-04-12)
Estuaries function as important nursery and foraging habitats for many coastal species, including highly migratory sharks. Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, is one of the largest estuaries in the continental United States and ...
