Ultrasound-assisted laser thrombolysis with endovascular laser and high-intensity focused ultrasound
(Wiley, 2020-12-05)Purpose The combination of laser and ultrasound can significantly improve the efficiency of thrombolysis through an enhanced cavitation effect. We developed a fiber optics-based laser-ultrasound thrombolysis device and ... -
The feasibility of ultrasound-assisted endovascular laser thrombolysis in an acute rabbit thrombosis model
(Wiley, 2021-07-02)Purpose This study aimed to test the feasibility of combined ultrasound and laser technique, namely, ultrasound-assisted endovascular laser thrombolysis (USELT), for thrombolysis by conducting in vivo tests in a rabbit ... -
The case for investigating a bidirectional association between insomnia symptoms and eating disorder pathology
(Wiley, 2021-03-04)Many people with eating disorders (EDs) report symptoms of insomnia (i.e., frequent difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and/or early morning wakening) and sleep problems have been linked to alterations in eating ... -
Internalization of Appearance Ideals and Not Religiosity Indirectly Impacts the Relationship Between Acculturation and Disordered Eating Risk in South and Southeast Asian Women Living in the United States
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-07-18)Objective: Studies that examine disordered eating in samples of Asian individuals living in the United States frequently combine all individuals of Asian descent into a single group, which can obscure important differences ... -
Sex-specific natural selection on SNPs in Silene latifolia
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-05-27)Selection that acts in a sex-specific manner causes the evolution of sexual dimorphism. Sex-specific phenotypic selection has been demonstrated in many taxa and can be in the same direction in the two sexes (differing only ... -
The Effect of Lexicality, Frequency, and Markedness on Mandarin Tonal Categorization
(Frontiers Media, 2022-07-22)While the Ganong lexicality effect has been observed for phonemic and tonal categorization, the effects of frequency and markedness are less clear, especially in terms of tonal categorization. In this study, we use Mandarin ... -
Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Taxa Show Variable Patterns of Micro-Scale Dispersal in Prairie Restorations
(Frontiers Media, 2022-07-22)Human land use disturbance is a major contributor to the loss of natural plant communities, and this is particularly true in areas used for agriculture, such as the Midwestern tallgrass prairies of the United States. ... -
Novel application of a force sensor during sit-to-stands to measure dynamic cerebral autoregulation onset
(Wiley, 2022-04-05)Current sit-to-stand methods measuring dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) do not capture the precise onset of the time delay (TD) response. Reduced sit-to-stand reactions in older adults and individuals post-stroke could ... -
The Phylogenetic Position of the Enigmatic, Polypodium hydriforme (Cnidaria, Polypodiozoa): Insights from Mitochondrial Genomes
(Oxford University Press, 2022-07-22)Polypodium hydriforme is an enigmatic parasite that belongs to the phylum Cnidaria. Its taxonomic position has been debated: whereas it was previously suggested to be part of Medusozoa, recent phylogenomic analyses based ... -
Observations from a prospective small cohort study suggest that CGRP genes contribute to acute posttraumatic headache burden after concussion
(Public Library of Science, 2022-08-05)Introduction: Post-traumatic headache (PTH) is commonly reported after concussion. Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine. We explored how single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) ... -
