IDENTIFICATION OF THE COGNITIVE INTERFERENCE EFFECT RELATED TO STROOP STIMULATION: USING DYNAMIC CAUSAL MODELING OF EFFECTIVE CONNECTIVITY IN FUNCTIONAL NEAR-INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (FNIRS)

Identification of the Cognitive Interference Effect Related to Stroop Stimulation: Using Dynamic Causal Modeling of Effective Connectivity in Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS)

Background: The Stroop test is a well-known model to denote the decline in performance under the incongruent condition, which requires selective attention and control of competitive responses.Functional near-infrared LIQUID MAKEUP ALMOND BEIGE #1020 spectroscopy can identify activated brain regions associated with the Stroop interference effect.Obj

Potential role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as mediators of cardiovascular effects from combustion particles

Abstract Air pollution is the most important environmental risk factor for disease and premature death, and exposure to combustion particles from vehicles is a major contributor.Human epidemiological studies combined with experimental studies strongly suggest that exposure to combustion particles may enhance the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD)

Biomarkers of collagen turnover are related to annual change in FEV1 in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease within the ECLIPSE study

Abstract Background Change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) is important for defining severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Serological neoepitope markers of collagen turnover may predict rate of change in FEV1.Methods One thousand COPD subjects from the observational, multicentre, three-year ECLIPSE (Evaluation o
