The Validity and Comparison of Two Affiliation Tasks in Schizophrenia
… disorder (SZ) and 35 healthy controls (HC), completed both tasks and measures of negative symptoms and functioning. SZ evidenced lower behavioral affiliation on the SAIT compared to HC. There were no group differences in behavioral affiliation on the CT. Within groups, …

The Relationship Between Two Endophenotypes of Psychosis in Volunteers with Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder
… with psychotic features (BDP, n = 31), and healthy controls (HC, n = 17) performed a novel eye movement task to assess the predictive mechanism of smooth pursuit. Subjects also completed a battery of neuropsychological tasks that included measures of working memory. Results: Individuals with …

Demographic Differences in Resting State EEG in Healthy Controls and Patients with Schizophrenia
… comparing patients with Schizophrenia (Sz) and healthy controls (HC). While many studies have identified the impact of demographic variables on neuropsychological disorders, none of these studies have examined the impact of demographic variables on resting state EEG in either HC or Sz. The …

PLASMA JNK3 AS A NOVEL PERIPHERAL BIOMARKER IN ALZHEIMER'S AND PARKINSON'S DISEASES: EARLY DIAGNOSIS AND DISEASE MONITORING
… with AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and controls (CTR), JNK3 levels were measured in both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma. Plasmatic JNK3 levels were significantly increased in MCI patients compared to both AD patients and controls, suggesting that JNK3 may reflect early synaptic …

Neuroanatomical structural correlates of nonmotor symptoms in patients with movement disorders
… as compared with PD patients without ICD and healthy controls who did not show clinically significant cognitive deficits. A second comparison between ICD patients with Pathological gambling (PG) versus PD patients without ICD and healthy controls was performed, to examine the features in PG …

Sensorimotor Recovery, Functional and Structural Brain Plasticity, and the Development of Chronic Pain Following Upper Limb Peripheral Nerve Transection and Microsurgical Repair
… clearly distinguished PNI-P from PNI-NP and healthy controls (HC). Vibrotactile stimulation of the deafferented territory in PNI-NP patients results in reduced BOLD activation within the primary and secondary somatosensory cortices. Interestingly, the regions of reduced BOLD corresponded with …

Neurostructural, Neurofunctional, and Neurocognitive Correlates of Cannabis Use in Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder
… thickness in frontal regions, relative to healthy controls (HC) and adolescents with BD and no cannabis use (BDCB−). BDCB− had smaller volume, SA, and thickness in parietal and frontal regions relative to HC. Resting state functional connectivity (rsFC) seed-to-voxel analyses revealed three …

TLR4 endogenous ligand S100A8/A9 levels in adult-onset Still’s disease and their association with disease activity and clinical manifestations
… 40 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and 33 healthy controls (HC) for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) of S100A8/A9, follistatin-like protein 1 and interleukin-18 (IL-18). Of the AOSD patients, follow-up samples were collected from 16 patients after resolution of disease activity. …

Differential expression of beta 2 integrins in Korean Behcet’s disease patients
… possible alteration in susceptibility to Behcet’s disease (BD) according to single nucleotide polymorphisms of CD11a, CD11c and CD18.Thus, our aim was to investigate the possible relationship between beta 2 integrins expression and BD. Materials and methods: BD patients (n=51) consisting of …

MicroRNA as Regulator of the Th17 Inflammation in Behcet's disease
… most highly implicated miRNAs in autoimmunity. Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic inflammatory disease with autoimmune nature, characterized by oral and genital ulcers and ocular inflammation. Although the pathogenesis of BD is largely unknown, it has been reported recently that autoimmune and …

Intrinsic functional brain connectivity in South African methamphetamine users undergoing inpatient treatment, with or without additional cognitive training
… as an adjunct to inpatient treatment of MUD. Healthy controls (HC, N = 25) were compared to two MUD groups, one receiving treatment as usual (TAU, N = 17), and one receiving additional cognitive training (CT, N = 24) in the form of a modified version of the ‘N-back' task (C-Ya). This task was …
