Investigation of functional connectivity differences based on anxiety tendencies.

Introduction: Anxiety is an emotion necessary for human survival. However, persistent and excessive anxiety can be clinically challenging. Increased anxiety affects daily life and requires early detection and intervention.

2D-to-1D Conversion of a Layered Sodium Titanate via Rational Framework Splitting for Highly Efficient Cation Exchange.

Demand on high-performance ion exchangers is ever-increasing in energy and environment applications. Among many cation exchangers, layered alkali titanates generally show larger cation exchange capacity, but slower cation exchange rate due to their 2D micrometer-size particle morphologies, which limits their practical applications. Here, a rational conversion of a layered sodium titanate, NaTiO, is reported to the corresponding 1D ultra-narrow nanowires via hydrothermal treatment under basic conditions.

Acute death Camas (Toxicoscordion venenosum) plant poisoning in seven family members following foraging for wild onions.

Background: Unintentional plant ingestions and poisoning are common. Generally, these ingestions are asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic. Increased toxicity is often associated with the foraging for plants incorrectly identified as edible plants.

A cadaveric study of wrist-joint moments in chimpanzees and orangutans with implications for the evolution of knuckle-walking.

Understanding the mechanism underlying the evolution of knuckle-walking in African great apes but not in humans may provide important implications about the origin and evolution of human bipedal locomotion. In this study, aiming to reveal possible structural adaptations of the chimpanzee's forearm and hand musculature related to knuckle-walking, we measure the passive elastic moment of the chimpanzee's and orangutan's wrist as it was rotated into extension, immobilizing the metacarpophalangeal joint at three different positions: extended (as in knuckle-walking), flexed (as in fist-walking), and an intermediate position. Our findings demonstrate that when the metacarpophalangeal joints are extended, the rigidity of the wrist joint in the extended direction increases.
