Child Interpretations of Teacher Behaviors Directed toward Students with and without ADHD Symptoms.

Many students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have negative social experiences with classmates and teachers. The Making Socially Accepting Inclusive Classrooms (MOSAIC) intervention asked teachers to give positive attention strategies to students at risk for ADHD, at a 3:1 ratio compared to their peers. Evidence suggested that although MOSAIC students at risk for ADHD reported improved relationships with teachers, they were more disliked by their classroom peers, relative to counterparts in a typical practice control group.

Structural characteristics determining starch digestibility in cooked rice complexed with an emulsion formulation.

To evaluate the effects of structural characteristics on amylose-lipid complex (ALC) formation and the starch digestibility of cooked rice grains with the addition of 0, 5, 10, and 20 % emulsification formulation (EMF), both cooked rice (CR) grains with intact structural characteristics and CR slurries with their structural characteristics destroyed were examined. When EMF was added, the surface firmness, adhesiveness and adhesion of the CR grain changed. Depressions associated with ALC formation were observed on the surface of CR grains.

Logging out or leaning in? Social media strategies for enhancing well-being.

Social media use is endemic among emerging adults, raising concerns that this trend may harm users. We tested whether reducing the quantity of social media use, relative to improving the way users engage with social media, benefits psychological well-being. Participants were 393 social media users (ages 17-29) in Canada, with elevated psychopathology symptoms, who perceived social media to negatively impact their life somewhat.

Suspected Postpartum Depression Revealed to be CSF1R-Related Leukoencephalopathy: A Case Report.

Introduction: This is a case of a 32-year-old woman who developed postpartum depression (PPD). She became anxious and depressive about caring for her child, and the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) test showed a score of 9 at 2 weeks after delivery, and at 7 months postpartum, she presented with major melancholic depression followed by mild cognitive decline without any neurological symptoms except cluttering speech.

Case Presentation: Cerebral magnetic resonance imaging showed confluent fluid-attenuated inversion recovery hyperintensities in the periventricular and frontal deep white matter, with multiple spotty calcifications in the frontal white matter by cerebral CT.

The role of GABA in modulation of taste signaling within the taste bud.

Taste buds contain 2 types of GABA-producing cells: sour-responsive Type III cells and glial-like Type I cells. The physiological role of GABA, released by Type III cells is not fully understood. Here, we investigated the role of GABA released from Type III cells using transgenic mice lacking the expression of GAD67 in taste bud cells (Gad67-cKO mice).

Here, we report the complete genome sequences of strains 473AN and 473GN, isolated from the blood culture of a Japanese patient with infective endocarditis. The complete genomes of 473AN and 473GN consist of single chromosomes of 2,065,772 and 2,094,461 bp, respectively.

Salivary buffering capacity is correlated with umami but not sour taste sensitivity in healthy adult Japanese subjects.

Objective: Saliva serves multiple important functions crucial for maintaining a healthy oral and systemic environment. Among them, the pH buffering effect, which is primarily mediated by bicarbonate ions, helps maintain oral homeostasis by neutralizing acidity from ingested foods. Therefore, higher buffering capacity, reflecting the ability to neutralize oral acidity, may influence taste sensitivity, especially for sour taste since it involves sensing H ions.

Assessing the Postprandial Glycemic Response to Japonica Rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Koshihikari) with a Small Amount of Lysolecithin and Canola Oil in Japanese Adult Men: a Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Crossover Study.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial was performed to analyze the effects of a small amount of lysolecithin and canola oil on blood glucose levels after consuming japonica rice. Overall, 17 Japanese adult men were assigned to consume 150 g of normally cooked japonica rice (placebo group) and 150 g of japonica rice cooked with 18 mg of lysolecithin and 1.8 g of canola oil (treatment group); these lipids were added as emulsified formulation (EMF) for stability and uniformity.

Targeting Peer Contagion Dynamics in Children with ADHD: Effects from a Two-Site Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: Parental Friendship Coaching (PFC) teaches parents to coach their children in friendship skills. This paper examines whether PFC fosters positive peer contagion processes (i.e.

Social Media Posts from Friends during Late Adolescence as Predictors of Young Adult Physical Health.

Although an increasing body of literature has linked social experiences to physical health, research has yet to consider how specific aspects of social experiences taking place on social media during late adolescence may predict future physical health outcomes. This study thus examined qualities of social media posts received from peers at age 21 as predictors of participants' physical health (e.g.

A Multi-Method Examination of Peer Functioning in Children with and without Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome.

Objective: Cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) includes excessive daydreaming, mental confusion, and hypoactive behaviors that are distinct from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder inattentive (ADHD-IN) symptoms. A growing number of studies indicate that CDS symptoms may be associated with ratings of social withdrawal. However, it is important to examine this association in children specifically recruited for the presence or absence of CDS, and to incorporate multiple methods including direct observations of peer interactions.

Steroid initiation timing and outcome of coronavirus disease 2019 patients: A multicenter, retrospective, observational study.

: Dexamethasone's (DEXA) beneficial effect on survival when administered to critically ill patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been documented in randomized trials and meta-analyses. Here, we conducted this study to clarify the association between time from COVID-19 onset to steroid initiation and mortality and to examine the factors underlying these results.: This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study of patients enrolled in the Japanese COVID-19 Registry from January 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021.

Neuropathological Examination of Mice Chronically Exposed to Secondhand Smoke.

Shorter Is Better: The α-(l)-Threofuranosyl Nucleic Acid Modification Improves Stability, Potency, Safety, and Ago2 Binding and Mitigates Off-Target Effects of Small Interfering RNAs.

Chemical modifications are necessary to ensure the metabolic stability and efficacy of oligonucleotide-based therapeutics. Here, we describe analyses of the α-(l)-threofuranosyl nucleic acid (TNA) modification, which has a shorter 3'-2' internucleotide linkage than the natural DNA and RNA, in the context of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). The TNA modification enhanced nuclease resistance more than 2'--methyl or 2'-fluoro ribose modifications.

Post-Synthetic Nucleobase Modification of Oligodeoxynucleotides by Sonogashira Coupling and Influence of Alkynyl Modifications on the Duplex-Forming Ability.

Recently, it was reported that the alkynyl modification of nucleobases mitigates the toxicity of antisense oligonucleotides (ASO) while maintaining the efficacy. However, the general effect of alkynyl modifications on the duplex-forming ability of oligonucleotides (ONs) is unclear. In this study, post-synthetic nucleobase modification by Sonogashira coupling in aqueous medium was carried out to efficiently evaluate the physiological properties of various ONs with alkynyl-modified nucleobases.

Immunogenicity and safety of single booster dose of KD-414 inactivated COVID-19 vaccine in adults: An open-label, single-center, non-randomized, controlled study in Japan.

Although vaccines for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) disease 2019 (COVID-19) induce effective immune responses, vaccination with booster doses is necessary because of waning immunity. We conducted an open-label, non-randomized, single-arm study in adults in Japan to assess the immunogenicity and safety of a single booster dose of the KD-414 purified whole-SARS-CoV-2-virion inactivated vaccine candidate after vaccination with a primary series of BNT162b2. The primary endpoint was serum neutralizing activity at 7 days after booster injection compared with the primary series of BNT162b2.

Mechanisms for the α-Adrenoceptor-Mediated Positive Inotropy in Mouse Ventricular Myocardium: Enhancing Effect of Action Potential Prolongation.

Mechanisms for the α-adrenoceptor-mediated positive inotropy in neonatal mouse ventricular myocardium were studied with isolated myocardial preparations. The phenylephrine-induced positive inotropy was suppressed by prazosin, nifedipine, and chelerythrine, a protein kinase C inhibitor, but not by SEA0400, a selective Na/Ca exchanger inhibitor. Phenylephrine increased the L-type Ca channel current and prolonged the action potential duration, while the voltage-dependent K channel current was not influenced.
