The effectiveness of cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure in the Department of Veterans Affairs.
… that cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure (PE) are evidence-based treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, additional research should verify the effectiveness of CPT and PE in conditions more reflective of clinical practice. The present study …

The Impact of Prolonged Exposure Therapy on Medication Adherence and Quality of Life in People Living with HIV: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… PLWH. We previously demonstrated the success of prolonged exposure (PE) therapy at improving PTSS and depressive symptoms in PLWH. The proposed study extends these findings by determining whether PE also impacted self-reported and electronically monitored medication adherence, and self-reported …

Magnetic Characteristics of Carboniferous Continental Depositional Systems: Implications for the Recognition of Depositional Hiatuses
… hiatuses in sedimentation associated with prolonged exposure on interfluve/floodplain surfaces that may correlative with incised valleys (lowstand surface of erosion). Similarly, in lower Pennsylvanian quartz arenite facies, early siderite cementation zones as well as conglomerate lags with …

A plasma-wall interaction model for the erosion of materials under ion bombardment
… surface features that develop after prolonged exposure. In this work, we address this issue by introducing a plasma-material interaction model able to capture the evolution of surface features at the macroscopic scale on materials exposed to plasma over a long period of time. The …

The use of Chironomus riparius (Diptera: Chironomidae) in benthic toxicity tests and its response to selenium
… toxic to C. riparius, and whether previous exposure changed the acutely toxic concentration. 5. Evaluate adequacy of national surface water selenium criterion with respect to these data. In acute toxicity tests, 1 larva per 4 ml test solution was an acceptable organism density, and test …

Towards an understanding of the mechanisms of desiccation tolerance in Myrothamnus flabellifolius (WELW.)
… twigs or leaves. In this study drying (including prolonged exposure to the dry state), and recovery of whole plants was compared with that of detached twigs dried off the plant, and also with twigs excised after having dried on the plant. Study of the leaf response during drying and recovery in …

Unraveling the interaction between hormones and incubation temperature on lizard cognition
… possible that the levels or duration of prenatal exposure used in this study were not sufficient to elicit measurable cognitive effects, and that more extreme or prolonged exposure might yield different outcomes. Furthermore, the absence of link between mitochondrial physiology and cognition - …

Προστατευτικοί μηχανισμοί που αναπτύσσονται στον πνεύμονα μετά από εισπνοή τοξικών πυκνοτήτων οξυγόνου: Μελέτη σε πειραματόζωα
… oxygen concentrations (40, 60, 85, 100%) for prolonged period (2-14 days). Survival time and changes in lung antioxidant enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in response to hyperoxia were determined. All animal species die after prolonged exposure to 100% oxygen (1Atm). The primary …

REGULATION OF T CELLS AND TISSUE INFLAMMATION BY SHORT CHAIN FATTY ACIDS
… mTOR activation in T cells. We also found that prolonged exposure to high concentration of SCFA cause ureteral obstruction and hydronephrosis. SCFAs activated mTOR signaling in renal T cells and developed T cell-mediated inflammation in the ureter and kidneys. In sum, SCFAs promote immunity but …

Enhanced dynamic load sensor for the International Space Station : design, development, musculoskeletal modeling and experimental evaluation
Prolonged exposure of a vertebrate musculoskeletal system to the microgravity environment of space leads to a reduction in bone mineral density, muscle mass, strength and endurance. Such deconditioning may impede critical astronaut activities and presents an increased injury risk during flight and …

Novel Insights into Lead Corrosion Control: Safely Changing Source Waters, Effective Use of Zinc Phosphate Inhibitors, Electrochemical Reversal of Solder, and Significance of Lead-Polyphosphate Complexation
… or at pHs outside this range, 3) reveal that prolonged exposure to free chlorine can dramatically reduce lead contamination from solder by causing "electrochemical reversal," protecting solder from galvanic corrosion, and 4) apply a method for measuring problematic lead complexation by …

Initial Implicit Changes in Adaptation as a Function of Different Perturbations
… whether it reflects the behaviour observed in prolonged exposure contexts. We employed a single-trial learning (STL) paradigm within a classical visuomotor adaptation task. Participants reached to dot and arc targets while experiencing single rotated-cursor trials (1°-90°), isolating …

INTERPLAY BETWEEN MDM2 AND TFAM REGULATES OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORYLATION IN DRUG-RESISTANT ONCOGENE-ADDICTED CANCERS
… for most oncogene-addicted cancers. However, prolonged exposure to TKI could lead to development of resistance. There is mounting evidence of OXPHOS dependency as a mechanism of TKI resistance, but the cause of this metabolic switch remains elusive. Here, we report a novel mechanism involving …

Exposure dose, trauma type, and attrition in PTSD efficacy studies
… PTSD. These reports have demonstrated that exposure-based therapies such as Prolonged Exposure (PE), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) consistently match or exceed their nonexposure counterparts in regard to efficacy. Yet the issue …

Alcohol/HIV-Induced Neurodeficit and Circumvention by Neuroprotective Agent
… animal model, the work demonstrates that chronic exposure to alcohol and Tat creates a deficit in neurocognitive function with concomitant changes in receptors, cytokines and other inflammatory substances and molecules. This is important to keep in mind about changes in receptors and cytokines …

Exploring the acute affect of de-coupled batting drills on the gaze behaviour and decision-making of elite baseball players
… effect may be explained by the athletes’ prolonged exposure to unrepresentative practice activities and their subsequent skill in recalibration at switching between tasks.

The Loss of Methanol Utilization in Methylobacteria
… the ability to use Cl compound methanol after prolonged exposure to multi-carbon substrates. To determine this, the bacteria was grown on MR2A3 (multi-carbon substrates) and MOM (single-carbon substrates) for multiple generations and tested for loss of function on a series of generations. These …

Rapid neuronal responses during spreading neurotoxic and neuroprotective network activity
… However, glutamate is also neurotoxic during prolonged exposure and the dysfunction of the glutamatergic system has been implicated in most neurological disorders, including stroke and epilepsy, and in certain neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease. In these conditions, an …
