Comparative analysis of general and pregnancy-related prenatal anxiety symptoms: progression throughout pregnancy and influence of maternal attachment
Pregnancy-specific anxiety (PSA) has been differentiated from general anxiety (GA) to better account for the heterogeneity of prenatal anxiety and possible measurement bias.A longitudinal study was conducted to determine the evolution of maternal anxiety symptoms during pregnancy, distinguishing PSA and GA, and the influence of maternal attachment
Laser Capture and Deep Sequencing Reveals the Transcriptomic Programmes Regulating the Onset of Pancreas and Liver Differentiation in Human Embryos
Summary: To interrogate the alternative fates of pancreas and liver in the earliest stages of human organogenesis, we developed laser capture, RNA amplification, and computational analysis of deep sequencing.Pancreas-enriched gene expression was less conserved between human and mouse than for liver.The dorsal pancreatic bud was enriched for compone
Reduced connection strength leads to enhancement of working memory capacity in cognitive training
It has Axxess DSP T-Harness been widely observed that cognitive training can enhance the working memory capacity (WMC) of participants, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unexplained.Previous research has confirmed that abacus-based mental calculation (AMC) training can enhance the WMC of subjects and suggested its possible association with chang
Parsimony analysis of endemicity of enchodontoid fishes from the Cenomanian
Parsimony analysis of endemicity was applied to analyze the distribution of enchodontoid fishes occurring strictly in the Cenomanian.The analysis was carried out using the computer program PAUP* 4.0b10, based on a data matrix built with 17 taxa and 12 areas.The rooting was made on an hypothetical all-zero outgroup.Applying the exact algorithm branc
