Published: June 1995

The contributions of frequency of positive and negative self-statements and their ratio, locus of control, and depression in prediction of self-esteem were examined. Volunteers were 145 college students (100 women and 45 men) who were administered the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory-Adult Form, Automatic Thought Questionnaire-Revised, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Rotter Internal-External Locus of Control Scale. Intercorrelations suggested significant relationships among variables. The magnitude of the relationship was strongest between the frequency of negative self-statements and self-esteem. These results are consistent with and lend further support to prior studies of Kendall, et al. and Schwartz and Michaelson.

Objectives: Genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Studies have shown that gene polymorphism is associated with the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its role in DKD remains unclear. This study aims to analyze the distribution of alleles and genotypes of gene in patients with T2DM, and investigate the association between genetic polymorphism and DKD susceptibility in T2DM patients, which may provide new ideas for the pathogenesis of DKD.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex disorder with a strong genetic component, yet many genetic risk factors remain unknown. Integrating genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and high-throughput proteomic platforms is a useful strategy to evaluate protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) and to detect candidate genes and pathways involved in AD. Due to the novelty of these techniques, the identification of reliable protein measures through a comprehensive quality control is mandatory.

Background: Seizures maybe associated with worse neuropathology findings in people with dementia. However, the role of seizure control and how it may impact post-mortem histopathology findings in people with dementia remains unexplored.

Method: We used the longitudinal, multicenter National Alzheimer Coordinating Center data from 9/2005 to 12/2021 to evaluate the association between seizure control and histopathological neurodegenerative changes in people with dementia.

Background: Locus coeruleus (LC) is a primary source of noradrenalin in the brain and plays a complex role in human behavior. In healthy aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD), LC cell loss has been linked to a decline in overall cognitive function. This study aimed to explore age- and AD-related differences in a proxy measure of LC activity.

Background: The X-chromosome remains largely unexplored in Alzheimer's disease (AD). To address this gap, we performed the first large-scale X chromosome-wide association study (XWAS) of AD.

Method: The study overview is shown in Figure 1A.
