Esposito R, Mosca A, Pieramico V, Cieri F, Cera N, Sensi SL.
PMID: 24010015
PeerJ. 2013 Aug 20;1:e135. doi: 10.7717/peerj.135. eCollection 2013.

Objectives. Aging is the major risk factor for Alzheimer Disease (AD) and Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The aim of this study was to identify novel modifications of brain functional connectivity in MCI patients. MCI individuals were compared to healthy...

Perceptions and practices of commensality and solo-eating among Korean and Japanese university students: A cross-cultural analysis.

Nutrition research and practice

Cho W, Takeda W, Oh Y, Aiba N, Lee Y.
PMID: 26425283
Nutr Res Pract. 2015 Oct;9(5):523-9. doi: 10.4162/nrp.2015.9.5.523. Epub 2015 Sep 01.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Commensality, eating together with others, is a major representation of human sociality. In recent time, environments around commensality have changed significantly due to rapid social changes, and the decline of commensality is perceived as a serious concern in...

Alfvén acoustic channel for ion energy in high-beta tokamak plasmas.

Physical review letters

Bierwage A, Aiba N, Shinohara K.
PMID: 25615474
Phys Rev Lett. 2015 Jan 09;114(1):015002. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.015002. Epub 2015 Jan 09.

When the plasma beta (ratio of thermal to magnetic pressure) in the core of a tokamak is raised to values of several percent, as required for a thermonuclear fusion reactor, continuous spectra of long-wavelength slow magnetosonic waves enter the...

The impact of violence, perceived stigma, and other work-related stressors on depressive symptoms among women engaged in sex work.

Global social welfare : research, policy & practice

Carlson CE, Witte SS, Pala AN, Tsai LC, Wainberg M, Aira T.
PMID: 29577014
Glob Soc Welf. 2017 Jun;4(2):51-57. doi: 10.1007/s40609-017-0085-5. Epub 2017 Apr 09.

While the physical health risks of sex work have been well documented, fewer studies have explored mental health risks associated with sex work. This study examined rates of depressive symptoms and associated risk factors among women engaged in sex...

Epigenetic patterns newly established after interspecific hybridization in natural populations of Solanum.

Ecology and evolution

Cara N, Marfil CF, Masuelli RW.
PMID: 24198938
Ecol Evol. 2013 Oct;3(11):3764-79. doi: 10.1002/ece3.758. Epub 2013 Sep 09.

Interspecific hybridization is known for triggering genetic and epigenetic changes, such as modifications on DNA methylation patterns and impact on phenotypic plasticity and ecological adaptation. Wild potatoes (Solanum, section Petota) are adapted to multiple habitats along the Andes, and...

Osteoporosis-Pseudoglioma in a Mauritanian Child due to a Novel Mutation in LRP5.

Case reports in genetics

Biha N, Ghaber SM, Hacen MM, Collet C.

Case Rep Genet. 2016;2016:9814928. doi: 10.1155/2016/9814928. Epub 2016 Jan 19.

Osteoporosis-pseudoglioma (OPPG) syndrome is a very rare autosomal recessive disorder, caused by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) gene. It manifests by severe juvenile osteoporosis with congenital or infancy-onset visual loss. We describe a case of...
