Collectivism Is Associated With Greater Neurocognitive Fluency in Older Adults
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of self-construal on neurocognitive functions in older adults. A total of 86 community-dwelling older adults 60 years and older were assessed with three common self-report measures of self-construal along individualism and collectivism (IC). A cognitive battery was administered to assess verbal and non-verbal fluency abilities. Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to categorize individuals according to IC, and one-way analyses of covariance (ANCOVA), including relevant covariates (e.g., ethnicity, gender, linguistic abilities), were used to compare neurocognitive functions between ...

Cardiovascular Programming During and After Diabetic Pregnancy: Role of Placental Dysfunction and IUGR
This study demonstrated that the incidence of ischemic heart disease and death were three times higher among men with low birth weight compared to men with high birth weight (5). Epidemiological investigations of adults born at the time of the Dutch famine between 1944 and 1945 revealed an association between maternal starvation and a low infant birth weight with a high incidence of hypertension and coronary heart disease in these adults (23). Furthermore, Painter et al. reported the incidence of early onset coronary heart disease among persons conceived during the Dutch famine (24). In that regard, Barker's findin...

ReWalk Robotics shares fall on Q4, 2018 sales miss
Shares in ReWalk Robotics (NSDQ:RWLK) fell today after the rehabilitation exoskeleton maker posted fourth quarter and full year 2018 earnings that beat loss-per-share expectations but missed wide on sales consensus from Wall Street analysts.
The Yokneam, Israel-based company posted losses of approximately $5 million, or 10¢ per share, on sales of approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, seeing losses shrink 18.6% while sales grew 4.2% when compared with its fourth quarter during the previous year.
Losses per share were just ahead of the 14¢ consensus on Wall Street, where analysts expected too ...

Omron launches HeartGuide watch-based wearable BP monitor
Omron Healthcare (TYO:6645) said late last week that it launched its HeartGuide wearable blood pressure monitor, touting it as the world’s first such device.
The HeartGuide is an FDA-cleared, wearable oscillometric blood pressure monitor intended for personal use and styled to function as a wrist watch, the Lake Forest, Ill.-based company said. The device features a cuff in the wrist watch band which inflates to measure systolic and diastolic pressures at a clinical level of accuracy, the company claims.
The newly launched HeartGuide also monitors physical activity including steps taken, distance walked, calories b...

A NASA Probe Launched to Study Pluto Is About to Look at Another Mysterious Object
(CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.) — The spacecraft team that brought us close-ups of Pluto will ring in the new year by exploring an even more distant and mysterious world.
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft will zip past the scrawny, icy object nicknamed Ultima Thule soon after the stroke of midnight.
One billion miles beyond Pluto and an astounding 4 billion miles from Earth (1.6 billion kilometers and 6.4 billion kilometers), Ultima Thule will be the farthest world ever explored by humankind. That’s what makes this deep-freeze target so enticing; it’s a preserved relic dating all the way back to our solar syste...

Mental Health, Sleep Deprivation and Career Stress in EMS and Fire
The human brain is a marvelous, yet complicated system. Researchers spend entire careers studying what makes the brain act or react to certain experiences. A mental health issue stemming from life’s experiences has culturally been seen as a sign of weakness, but actually is part of a very complex architecture that’s unique from person to person.
In order to gain an understanding of how stress plays a role in the lives of first responders, we need to start answering some hard questions: What leads to burn-out? What’s associated with PTSD? How is lack of sleep affecting the mental health states of first responders? The...

Behavioural and physiological responses to low- and high-intensity locomotion in Chinese shrimp Fenneropenaeus chinensis
AbstractWe explored stroke behaviour, energy sources, and their related metabolic enzymes during multi-intensity swimming and tail-flipping at low- and high-intensity modes in Chinese shrimpFenneropenaeus chinensis. In swimming, shrimp were encouraged to swim at velocities of 3, 6, 9 cm s−1 for 200 min (low-intensity), and at 12, 15, 18 cm s−1 until fatigue (high-intensity). In tail-flipping, shrimp were encouraged to tail-flip by tapping cephalothorax at frequencies of 0.020, 0.040, 0.063 Hz (one tap every 50, 25, 16 s) for 5 min (low-intensity), and at 0.083, 0,100, 0.125 Hz (one tap every 12, 10, 8 s) u...

System-integrated technology-enabled model of care to improve the health of stroke patients in rural China: protocol for SINEMA--a cluster-randomized controlled trial
This study aims to develop a system-integrated technology-enabled intervention model of care (SINEMA) for the secondary prevention of stroke in rural China and to evaluate the effectiveness of the model compared with usual care.MethodsThe SINEMA model is being implemented and evaluated through a one-year cluster-randomized controlled trial in Nanhe County, Hebei Province in China. Fifty villages from five townships are randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention or the control arm (usual care) with a target to enroll 25 stroke survivors per village. Village doctors in the intervention arm 1) receive systematic cas...

Returning to Work After Mild Stroke
Nearly half of all strokes are considered mild strokes.1 Even though people with mild stroke may have minimal or no difficulty with everyday tasks like getting dressed or following a morning routine, they may have greater difficulty with more complex everyday activities like returning to work.2 Although mild stroke affects each person differently, many people report some changes in their ability to:
