Residual tail twisting in ascidian larvae is stabilized by asymmetric myofibrils that resist bilateral symmetry restoration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ascidian Ciona larvae initially show strong clockwise tail twisting, which is largely corrected during development. However, a small residual twist remains. This study shows that organized helical myofibrils in tail muscles mechanically stabilize this residual asymmetry, preventing complete restoration of bilateral symmetry and revealing how embryos ...

Factors perceived to influence implementation of task shifting in highly specialised healthcare: a theory-based qualitative approach

BMC Health Services Research, 2018
Background New approaches to control healthcare expenditures and increase access to quality care are required by decision-makers in high-income countries. One strategy is to reallocate tasks from doctors to nurses.

Assessing planning and set-shifting abilities in autism: Are experimenter-administered and computerised versions of tasks equivalent? [PDF]

, 2013
The performance of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) on classic measures of executive functioning may suggest that people with this disorder are impaired only when tasks are administered by an experimenter, but not when the same tasks are ...

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

The Swinging Self: The Costs of Shifting Between Self-Images in Alzheimer’s Disease

American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias, 2020
Background: We investigated the ability of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to shift between different self-images. Methods: We developed an original task (shifting-self task) in which we invited 28 patients with AD and 30 control participants to ...

Task Switching and Distractibility [PDF]

, 2007
In this thesis I examined the effects of task switching on people’s ability to ignore irrelevant distractors. Load theory proposes that distractor interference critically depends on the availability of executive control to minimise the effects of ...

Monitoring Cognitive and Emotional Processes Through Pupil and Cardiac Response During Dynamic Versus Logical Task [PDF]

, 2010
The paper deals with the links between physiological measurements and cognitive and emotional functioning. As long as the operator is a key agent in charge of complex systems, the definition of metrics able to predict his performance is a great challenge.

Circular RNA expression landscapes in myelodysplastic neoplasms: Associations with mutational signatures and disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In this explorative study, the abundance of circular RNA molecules in bone marrow stem cells was found to be elevated in patients with high‐risk myelodysplastic neoplasms, and to be associated with an increased risk of progression to acute myeloid leukemia.

Factors influencing task-shifting between rheumatologists and occupational therapists in hand osteoarthritis care: A qualitative study

Scandinavian Journal of Occupational Therapy
Background Task-shifting in healthcare aims to increase access to quality care, control healthcare expenditures and increase efficiency. However, studies suggest that the success of task-shifting initiatives vary and is context sensitive.Aim We aimed to ...
