Clinical efficacy of EMDR in unipolar depression: Changes in theta cordance.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) has demonstrated efficacy in treating major depressive disorder. EMDR increases cerebral perfusion in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC). Activity in the ACC and dlPFC can be measured by theta cordance (TC) but has not been examined in EMDR.

Moderating Factors Associated With Interrupting the Transmission of Domestic Violence Among Adolescents.

Exposure to child maltreatment in the family-of-origin has consistently been linked to intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration in adulthood. Although the concept of a cycle of violence presumes that the transmission of violence is expressed directly across generations, some protective factors such as social support, self-esteem, and relationship quality with parents may ultimately be influential in nonviolent behavior in adult relationships. Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health data set, we tested protective factors to see if and to what extent they disrupted the association from early childhood maltreatment to experiencing violence later on in adult relationships.

Identification of biological processes and genes for gestational diabetes mellitus.

Aim: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is one of the most usual complications of pregnancy, while the correlations between genes and their known biological processes need to be further elucidated.

Methods: In the current study, microarray data GSE2956 containing a list of 435 significantly modified genes (differentially expressed genes, DEGs) were used. Genes that correspond to official gene symbols were chosen and were functional annotated for Gene Ontology (GO) and pathway analyses (p ≤ 0.
