Attention network dysfunction and treatment response of geriatric depression.

J Clin Exp Neuropsychol

Department of Psychology, Weill Medical College of Cornell University, White Plains, NY 10605, USA.

Published: January 2006

The Attention Network Test was used to assess the efficiency of the executive, orienting and vigilance attention networks and their association to treatment response in older patients with major depression. There were no significant performance differences between depressives and controls. However, within the depressed group, executive-related performance, but not orienting- or vigilance-related performance was correlated with time to remission. The association of executive-attention network efficiency and antidepressant response provides the background for focused structural and functional neuroimaging studies aimed at identifying the functional neuroanatomy of antidepressant response.

hERGAT: predicting hERG blockers using graph attention mechanism through atom- and molecule-level interaction analyses.

J Cheminform

The human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) channel plays a critical role in the electrical activity of the heart, and its blockers can cause serious cardiotoxic effects. Thus, screening for hERG channel blockers is a crucial step in the drug development process. Many in silico models have been developed to predict hERG blockers, which can efficiently save time and resources.

Background: Rare diseases (RDs) are a heterogeneous group of complex and low-prevalence conditions in which the time to establish a definitive diagnosis is often too long. In addition, for most RDs, few to no treatments are available and it is often difficult to find a specialized care team.

Objectives: The project "acERca las enfermedades raras" (in English: "bringing RDs closer") is an initiative primary designed to generate a consensus by a multidisciplinary group of experts to detect the strengths and weaknesses in the public healthcare system concerning the comprehensive care of persons living with a RD (PLWRD) in the region of Catalonia, Spain, where a Network of Clinical Expert Units (Xarxa d'Unitats de Expertesa Clínica or XUEC) was created and is being implemented since 2015.

Metabolic profiles and potential antioxidant mechanisms of hawk tea.

Sci Rep

January 2025

Department of Food Science and Engineering, Moutai Institute, Renhuai, 564502, People's Republic of China.

Hawk tea has received increasing attention for its unique flavor and potential health benefits, with antioxidant function being one of its significant bioactivities. However, the metabolic profiles, potential antioxidant components, and action mechanisms of different types of hawk tea are still unclear. In this study, the chemical components of five hawk teas were determined using untargeted metabolomics.

This study investigates post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) by utilizing spectral dynamic causal modeling (spDCM) to examine changes in effective connectivity (EC) within the default mode, executive control, dorsal attention, and salience networks. Forty-one PSCI patients and 41 demographically matched healthy controls underwent 3D-T1WI and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging on a 3.0T MRI.

Arc detection is crucial for ensuring the safe operation of power systems, where timely and accurate detection of arcs can prevent potential hazards such as fires, equipment damage, or system failures. Traditional arc detection methods, while functional, often suffer from low detection accuracy and high computational complexity, especially in complex operational environments. This limitation is particularly problematic in real-time monitoring and the efficient operation of power systems.
