Use of Over-The-Counter Analgesics for Pain and Psychological Distress Among Adolescents: A Mixed Effects Approach in Cross-Sectional Survey Data From Norway
(2020-10)Background: Over-the-counter analgesics (OTCA) such as Paracetamol and Ibuprofen are frequently used by adolescents, and the route of administration and access at home allows unsupervised use. Psychological distress and ... -
Right Lateralized Brain Reserve Offsets Age-Related Deficits in Ignoring Distraction
(2020-09)Age-related deterioration of attention decreases the ability to stay focused on the task at hand due to less efficient selection of relevant information and increased distractibility in the face of irrelevant, but salient ... -
Temporal Expectations Prepare Visual Working Memory for Behavior
(2020-09)Working memory enables us to retain past sensations in service of anticipated task demands. How we prepare for anticipated task demands during working memory retention remains poorly understood. Here, we focused on the ... -
Dissecting Transient Burst Events
(2020-10)Increasing efforts are being made to understand the role of intermittent, transient, high-power burst events of neural activity. These events have a temporal, spectral, and spatial domain. Here, we argue that considering ... -
Associations Between Longitudinal Trajectories of Cognitive and Social Activities and Brain Health in Old Age
(2020-08)Importance Prior neuroimaging studies have found that late-life participation in cognitive (eg, reading) and social (eg, visiting friends and family) leisure activities are associated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ... -
Prediction of brain age and cognitive age: quantifying brain and cognitive maintenance in aging
(2020-06)The concept of brain maintenance refers to the preservation of brain integrity in older age, whilecognitive reserverefers to the capacity to maintain cognition in the presence of neurodegeneration or aging-related brain ... -
A critical evaluation of systematic reviews assessing the effect of chronic physical activity on academic achievement, cognition and the brain in children and adolescents: a systematic review
(2020-06)Background International and national committees have started to evaluate the evidence for the effects of physical activity on neurocognitive health in childhood and adolescence to inform policy. Despite an increasing ... -
Reductions to main meal portion sizes reduce daily energy intake regardless of perceived normality of portion size: a 5 day cross-over laboratory experiment
(2020-02)Background Smaller portions may help to reduce energy intake. However, there may be a limit to the magnitude of the portion size reduction that can be made before consumers respond by increasing intake of other food ... -
The importance of different frailty domains in a population based sample in England
(2020-01)Background The aim was to estimate the prevalence of frailty and relative contribution of physical/balance, nutritive, cognitive and sensory frailty to important adverse health states (falls, physical activity levels, ... -
Transient spectral events in resting state MEG predict individual task responses
(2020-07)Even in response to simple tasks such as hand movement, human brain activity shows remarkable inter-subject variability. Recently, it has been shown that individual spatial variability in fMRI task responses can be ... -
Cross-species cortical alignment identifies different types of anatomical reorganization in the primate temporal lobe
(2020-03)Evolutionary adaptations of temporo-parietal cortex are considered to be a critical specialization of the human brain. Cortical adaptations, however, can affect different aspects of brain architecture, including local ... -
One thing leads to another: anticipating visual object identity based on associative-memory template
(2020-04)Probabilistic associations between stimuli afford memory templates that guide perception through pro-active anticipatory mechanisms. A great deal of work has examined the behavioural consequences and human electrophysiological ... -
Synchronisation of Neural Oscillations and Cross-modal Influences
(2020-04)At any given moment, we receive multiple signals from our different senses. Prior research has shown that signals in one sensory modality can influence neural activity and behavioural performance associated with another ... -
Multimodal brain-age prediction and cardiovascular risk: The Whitehall II MRI sub-study
(2020-01)Brain age is becoming a widely applied imaging-based biomarker of neural aging and potential proxy for brain integrity and health. We estimated multimodal and modality-specific brain age in the Whitehall II MRI cohort using ... -
Self-reported experiences of intimate partner violence in a female forensic intellectual disability population
(2019-11)Purpose Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a complex public health and social issue. Women with an intellectual disability (ID) are at greater risk of experiencing IPV. However, little is known about the IPV experiences ... -
Reproducibility of dietary intakes of macronutrients, specific food groups, and dietary patterns in 211 050 adults in the UK Biobank study
(2019-09)To detect modest associations of dietary intake with disease risk, observational studies need to be large and control for moderate measurement errors. The reproducibility of dietary intakes of macronutrients, food groups ... -
Dynamic sustained attention markers differentiate atypical development: The case of Williams syndrome and Down's syndrome
(2019-07)Impaired sustained attention is considered an important factor in determining poor functional outcomes across multiple cognitive and behavioural disorders. Sustained attention is compromised for both children with ... -
Social Scaffolding: Applying the Lessons of Contemporary Social Science to Health and Health Care
(2019)Using current societal dilemmas, this book explores how social factors and social identity influence our health and recovery from illness. It includes recent research to present practitioners, researchers, policymakers and ... -
Task shifting Midwifery Support Workers as the second health worker at a home birth in the UK: A qualitative study
(2018-03)Objective: Traditionally two midwives attend home births in the UK. This paper explores the implementation of a new home birth care model where births to low risk women are attended by one midwife and one Midwifery Support ... -
Improving the quality and content of midwives’ discussions with low-risk women about their options for place of birth: Co-production and evaluation of an intervention package
(2018-01)Objective: Women's planned place of birth is gaining increasing importance in the UK, however evidence suggests that there is variation in the content of community midwives’ discussions with low risk women about their ...
