Mild Dehydration Identification Using Machine Learning to Assess Autonomic Responses to Cognitive Stress.

The feasibility of detecting mild dehydration by using autonomic responses to cognitive stress was studied. To induce cognitive stress, subjects ( = 17) performed the Stroop task, which comprised four minutes of rest and four minutes of test. Nine indices of autonomic control based on electrodermal activity (EDA) and pulse rate variability (PRV) were obtained during both the rest and test stages of the Stroop task.

Visual Attention in Children With Migraine: The Importance of Prophylaxis.

This study aimed to compare the visual attention performance of children newly diagnosed with migraine, children undergoing migraine prophylaxis, and a healthy control group. Eighty-two children aged 8 to 12 years were divided into 3 groups: untreated migraine (n = 30), migraine prophylaxis (n = 22), and control (n = 30). All were subjected to a visual attention assessment with the Trail Making Test parts A and B, Letter-Cancellation Test, and the Brazilian Visual Attention Test 3rd edition.

The sulfur/sulfonates transport systems in Xanthomonas citri pv. citri.

Background: The Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (X. citri) is a phytopathogenic bacterium that infects different species of citrus plants where it causes canker disease.

Amitriptyline and aerobic exercise or amitriptyline alone in the treatment of chronic migraine: a randomized comparative study.

Unlabelled: To compare the preventive treatment benefits of amitriptyline and aerobic exercise or amitriptyline alone in patients with chronic migraine.

Method: Sixty patients, both genders, aged between 18 and 50 years, with a diagnosis of chronic migraine, were randomized in groups called amitriptyline and aerobic exercise or amitriptyline alone. The following parameters were evaluated: headache frequency, intensity and duration of headache, days of the analgesic medication use, body mass index (BMI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) scores.

Migraine and cognition in children: a controlled study.

Objective: Evaluate the cognitive functions of children with migraine and compare them to A control group.

Method: 30 migraineur children and 30 control group children without migraine, age ranging from 8 to 12 years old, were subjected to a cognitive functions assessment with Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISCIII).

Results: Although both groups had a normal cognitive performance, children with migraine had significantly worse scores compared to the control group in the subtests of Information, Arithmetic, Vocabulary, Object Assembly and in the Indexes of Perceptual Organization, Resistance to Distraction and Processing Speed.
