CARDIOVASCULAR RESPONSES TO ACUTE EXERCISE IN ANTHRACYCLINE TREATED CANCER SURVIVORS AND HEALTHY CONTROLS
… treated cancer survivors (ATS) and age-matched healthy controls (CON) to examine potential mechanisms of exercise intolerance. METHODS: Ten ATS, four males and six females, that were > 12 months post-anthracycline-treatment or are currently receiving treatment, were assessed. Ten age and gender …

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 …

Diffusion Tensor Imaging and Cognition of Transient Ischemic Attack Patients and Healthy Controls
… anisotropy (FA) overall when compared to healthy controls. TIA patients also performed poorer on tests of executive function, episodic and working memory, and processing speed. DTI parameters of FA and MD predicted performance in tests of executive function and memory but not processing …

Measuring Brain Iron In Healthy Controls And Accessing Venous Abnormalities In Parkinson's Disease Using Mri
<p>Iron plays a key role in a number of brain cellular processes. However, abnormal brain iron regulation correlates with a number of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and so forth. To further elucidate the involvement of iron in neurodegenerative disorders, …

Assessment of Proprioceptive Acuity in Patients with Stroke with Left Hemiplegia Compared to Healthy Controls
… in patients with chronic stroke compared to healthy age-matched controls. In addition, we examined the relationship of wrist proprioceptive impairment with the degree of upper extremity motor dysfunction as measured by the Motor Evaluation Scale for Upper Extremity in Stroke Patients …

Altered brain activity in autistic children versus healthy controls while performing simple tasks using fMRI
… that Autistic children, when compared to healthy matched controls, exhibit higher neuronal activity when identifying patterns or objects, but lower levels of activity in regards to facial recognition. The objective of this study was to examine both facial and object recognition and compare …

Neurocircuitry of attention in methamphetamine induced psychosis: a comparison against schizophrenia patients and healthy controls
… This thesis compared MAP, schizophrenia and healthy controls, in order to examine overlap and differences in 1) subcortical regulation of cortical inhibition and excitability, 2) resting state cortical and subcortical connectivity, and the dynamics of rhythmic neural activity between states, …

Machine Learning Classification of Traumatic Brain Injury Patients Versus Healthy Controls Using Arterial Spin Labeled Perfusion MRI
… (SVM) classifier, in discriminating between healthy controls (n=35) and TBI patients (n=42) using ASL-generated CBF data 3 months post-injury. Identification of the regions of interest (ROIs) most predictive of TBI is also explored as part of this aim. Furthermore, several ASL outlier …

The Association between Symptoms of Autoimmune Diseases and Circadian Clock Disruption: A Pilot Study Using Only Healthy Controls
Autoimmune disease occurs when the immune system attacks self-molecules. It ranges from organ-specific to systemic, including Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Sjogren’s Syndrome (SS). Evidence indicates disturbances of the circadian clock to demonstrate detrimental effects on …

The use of ¹H-NMR analysis of urine to discriminate between calcium oxalate kidney stone patients and healthy controls
NMR has been used to study the metabolites found in body fluids, like urine, in the past three decades. It has more recently been used to study a lare range of diseases and the toxicolgoical effect of drugs on animals, by looking at metabolite patterns in the urine. The major advanteges of using …

The type A behaviour pattern and its associated personality variables in CHD, ulcer, asthma, non-psychosomatic patients and healthy controls
… ulcer, asthma, nonpsychosomatic patients and healthy controls. Firstly, an attempt is made to establish whether a sample of white, male, South African CHD patients show a greater incidence of type A behaviour than do the other groups. Research conducted predominantly in the U.S.A. and to a …

Distinguishing Medial Temporal Lobe and Prefrontal Cortex Contributions to Approach-Avoidance Conflict in Healthy Controls and Generalized Anxiety Disorder: Insights from Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and the Hierarchical Drift Diffusion Model
… approach, to an AA conflict task administered to healthy controls. I found that PFC regions contributed to inhibition and adjusting response caution, with differential involvement of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC). While the anterior hippocampus (aHPC) supported …

Emotional Prosody Communication In Long-Term Abstained Alcoholics
… alcoholics (AA) and 15 aged/educational matched healthy controls were asked to produce sentences in the six basic emotions plus neutral whilst being recorded. Results demonstrated that at an acoustic level pitch was a cue that AA struggled to modulate emotionally compared to healthy controls. The …

Ruolo della TDP-43 nella formazione dei granuli da stress nella Sclerosi Laterale Amiotrofica
… ALS patients without any TARDBP mutation and healthy controls. After treatment with sodium arsenite (0,5 mM), for 30 and 60 minutes, we observed a significantly higher number of cells exhibiting stress granules, identified by immunostaining for specific markers (TIA-1 and HuR), in fibroblasts …

Standardizing a freely-behaving canine videofluoroscopic swallow study protocol to investigate dysphagia in primary aging and neurological diseases
… and dysphagia of an unspecified etiology. Healthy controls dogs were further divided into three age groups: juvenile (1 month to less than or equal to 1 years), adult (> 1 to less than or equal to 10 years in small-medium breeds; (> 1 to less than or equal to 7 years in large breeds), and …

Exploring the Pathophysiology of Chronic Depression: The Interplay between Depression, Cortisol Responses, and Personality
… in CMDD participants (n=29) as compared to healthy controls (n=28). It was hypothesized that cortisol responses would be greater in the CMDD population. Results indicated that females with CMDD had increased cortisol output compared to female controls, a pattern consistent with the …

Genetic influence on brain volumes in psychosis.
… subjects with psychosis, their relatives and in healthy controls. To increase the statistical power, I combined three different MRI scan datasets since a calibration study showed high intra-class correlations (ICC above 0.9) between MRI protocols (Chapter 3). I therefore included 535 participants …
