Similar results were found in our sample of veterans with comorbid MDD, where patients receiving group Twelve-Step Facilitation had increased levels of 12-step affiliation during treatment . However, it is not known whether comorbid patients can sustain high levels of 12-step participation after the conclusion of TSF therapy, and if any changes in long-term participation will […]

Measurement of key outcome variables – particularly gestational age – changed over time as well
Analyses of APGAR scores were for the years 1978-2013 because APGAR scores were not reported on birth certificates prior. Cases missing outcome data were typically dropped from analyses. The main exposure variables were time-varying state-level indicators regarding whether states had particular policies in the month and year of conception. These policies were: Mandatory Warning signs, Priority […]
A small literature explores the association of risk preferences with health behaviors
Reproductive health researchers and practitioners have documented that perceptions of the risk of pregnancy and of STIs shape sexual and reproductive behavior in addition to pregnancy intention and access to contraceptive methods. These perceptions and behaviors are partly the result of individual tolerance for risk and uncertainty. Tversky and Kahneman instigated a robust area of […]
All participants were taken through the informed consent process on the same day as their study visit
Specifically, we assessed aspects of the informed consent content that participants found most and least informative, and explored whether this differed by HIV serostatus. We also examined the efficacy of our informed consent process by assessing whether participants thought the information presented was consistent with what they experienced during the study.Participants enrolled in ongoing studies at the […]
Data collection for this validity assessment occurred in November 2009 at the second study visit
If a participant pressed to collect 20 on a trial meant to be a 240 trial, or tried to collect 20 or 40 on a dedicated 280 trial, the participant received the collected amount, thereby reducing the number of punished trials.fMRI data were analyzed using Analysis of Functional Neuroimages software . Single-subject data preprocessing procedures […]
All predictors were log transformed due to non normality and Z-scored prior to regression entry
Modeling abstinent and non-abstinent remission in all family members with life-time AUD allows for the possibility that abstinent and non-abstinent remitted individuals may have characteristics, such as social responsiveness, that contribute to their ability to remit but that are different from those linked to their development of AUDs. The goals of this study were to […]
FA is a commonly used measure for examining white matter spatial organization and integrity
As shown by the representative experiment depicted in Fig. 3, four peaks of enzyme activity were resolved by MonoQ chromatography , which were all effectively inhibited by BTNP . Multiple peaks of anandamide amidohydrolase activity have been already observed after pa tial purification from pig brain microsomes, but the significance of these putative isoforms is still unknown.The […]
A modified timeline follow-back interview was used to assess drinking behavior in the last 30 days
People with HIV are twice as likely to engage in heavy alcohol use and two to three times more likely to meet criteria for an alcohol use disorder in their lifetime than the general population . Heavy alcohol use not only promotes the transmission of HIV through sexual risk-taking behavior and nonadherence to antiretroviral therapy , but […]
The types of hypokalemic RTAs are differentiated by examining the potential of hydrogen of the patient’s urine
The patient stated she had attempted to stand up from a seated position when she “felt like [she] was going to pass out.” The patient called 911 for assistance. On further discussion, the patient revealed she had experienced one similar episode of weakness earlier in the year, but this had resolved spontaneously and was not […]
Evidence suggests that about 40% of cellular N-acyl PEs are found on the neuronal plasmalemma
These indications are relevant, but they are open nevertheless to several possible objections. For example, although endogenous cannabimimetic compounds exist, it is conceivable that they may never engage cannabinoid receptors under physiological conditions. Indeed, if these receptors were constitutively active in the absence of agonist, as suggested by studies with heterologous expression models , there […]
