Screening questionnaires for substance abuse post brain injury: a review.

Objective: To assess the psychometric properties of the available assessment questionnaires for substance abuse studied within a brain injury population.

Methods: A literature search was conducted on MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Embase databases. Articles published in English from inception through March 2018 on the screening questionnaires used to identify substance abuse post brain injury were reviewed.

3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging Role in Articular Degenerative Pathology.

Osteoarthrosis is one of the most common degenerative diseases, affecting most of the middle and advanced age population. It is responsible for joint pain, and reduces mobility to functional impotence, thus becoming a public health problem. It is characterized by the destruction of articular cartilage and bone structures forming joints.

The effect of theta-burst stimulation on unilateral spatial neglect following stroke: a systematic review.

Objective:: To evaluate the effectiveness of theta-burst stimulation for the treatment of stroke-induced unilateral spatial neglect.

Data Sources:: A systematic literature search was conducted from the inception of each database to 30 June 2018 using CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus.

Review Methods:: Articles were included if theta-burst stimulation was used to treat neglect following a stroke.

Continuous Descending Modulation of the Spinal Cord Revealed by Functional MRI.

Spontaneous variations in spinal cord activity may arise from regulation of any of a number of functions including sensory, motor, and autonomic control. Here, we use functional MRI (fMRI) of healthy participants to identify properties of blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) variations in the spinal cord in response to knowledge that either a noxious stimulus is impending, or that no stimulus is to be expected. Expectation of a noxious stimulus, or no stimulus, is shown to have a significant effect on wide-spread BOLD signal variations in the spinal cord over the entire time period of the fMRI acquisition.
