The influence of event similarity on the detailed recall of autobiographical memories.

Memories for life events are thought to be organised based on their relationships with one another, affecting the order in which events are recalled such that similar events tend to be recalled together. However, less is known about how detailed recall for a given event is affected by its associations to other events. Here, we used a cued autobiographical memory recall task where participants verbally recalled events corresponding to personal photographs.

Caregivers with limited English proficiency: Satisfaction with primary pediatric healthcare.

With a growing 25.5 million people in the United States experiencing limited-English proficiency (LEP), there is a concern over these individuals' experiences in healthcare. Health outcomes of LEP status are well-documented for adults in hospitals; however, less is known about patient experience, pediatric populations, and primary care settings.

A comprehensive investigation of the interactions of human serum albumin with polymeric and hybrid nanoparticles.

Nanoparticles (NPs) engineered as drug delivery systems continue to make breakthroughs as they offer numerous advantages over free therapeutics. However, the poor understanding of the interplay between the NPs and biomolecules, especially blood proteins, obstructs NP translation to clinics. Nano-bio interactions determine the NPs' in vivo fate, efficacy and immunotoxicity, potentially altering protein function.

Congenital tremor and myopathy secondary to novel MYBPC1 variant.

Congenital myopathy with tremor (MYOTREM) is a recently described disorder characterized by mild myopathy and a postural and intention tremor present since early infancy. MYOTREM is associated with pathogenic variants in MYBPC1 which encodes slow myosin-binding protein C, a sarcomere protein with regulatory and structural roles. Here, we describe a family with three generations of variably affected members exhibiting a novel variant in MYBPC1 (c.

Tone management: An environmental scan of current management practices across Canada.

Background: Currently, there are no standardized approaches to care or evaluation for tone dysfunction in Canada. The study authors hypothesize that there is significant practice variation across the country. This environmental scan is aimed to describe the current practice for management of paediatric patients with hypertonia across Canada.

Seizure Burden and Neurologic Outcomes After Neonatal Encephalopathy.

Background And Objectives: Seizures are common during neonatal encephalopathy (NE), but the contribution of seizure burden (SB) to outcomes remains controversial. This study aims to examine the relationship between electrographic SB and neurologic outcomes after NE.

Methods: This prospective cohort study recruited newborns ≥36 weeks postmenstrual age around 6 hours of life between August 2014 and November 2019 from a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Nicotinic receptor activation augments muscarinic receptor-mediated eccrine sweating but not cutaneous vasodilatation in young males.

What is the central question of this study? Acetylcholine released from cholinergic nerves can activate both muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Although each receptor can independently induce cutaneous vasodilatation and eccrine sweating, it remains to be elucidated whether the two receptors interact in order to mediate these responses. What is the main finding and its importance? We show that although nicotinic receptor activation does not modulate muscarinic cutaneous vasodilatation, it lowers the muscarinic receptor agonist threshold at which onset for eccrine sweating (augmentation of muscarinic eccrine sweating) occurs in young men in normothermic resting conditions.

K+ channel mechanisms underlying cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation and sweating in young humans: roles of KCa, KATP, and KV channels?

Acetylcholine released from cholinergic nerves is involved in heat loss responses of cutaneous vasodilation and sweating. K(+) channels are thought to play a role in regulating cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation and sweating, though which K(+) channels are involved in their regulation remains unclear. We evaluated the hypotheses that 1) Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (KCa), ATP-sensitive K(+) (KATP), and voltage-gated K(+) (KV) channels all contribute to cholinergic cutaneous vasodilation; and 2) KV channels, but not KCa and KATP channels, contribute to cholinergic sweating.
