Informs that the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) has issued a background paper that describes the biological components of substance abuse and addiction. 'Biological Components of Substance Abuse and Addiction'; Ordering information....
but also cognitive decline, medical comorbidity, and physical disability. This behavioral and cognitive presentation results from altered function of discrete functional brain networks and circuits. A wide range of factors across the lifespan contributes to fragility ...
movement-based (aerobic exercise; yoga; tai chi), and biological approaches (pharmacotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy). Additional research is needed to further elucidate psychosocial and biological factors that affect risk and course of LLD. In addition, research to identify psychobiological factors pre...
Six types of erm genes (A, B, C, F, T, and X) were detected and quantified from samples of mature animal, lagoon, and biological filtration systems employed to treat swine wastewater. Among the factors determining macrolide resistance, ermB is considered to be the most common gene in ...
According to several studies, the onset of the Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) depends on the combination between genetic and environmental factors (GxE), in particular between biological vulnerabilities and the exposure to traumatic experiences during childhood. We have searched for studies reporting...
93 In either case, these epigenetic changes that are captured by epigenetic aging occur in response to adverse environmental exposures, such as through the indirect effects of ACEs on physical health and psychosocial factors that may persist into pregnancy and intergenerationally.94 These changes in ...
Biological theories Crime has been redefined as “sick” rather than “bad” behavior “Medicalization” of behavior (hyperactive children are given medicine) Search for individuals traits rather than social factors Fundamental assumptions of biological theories The brain is the organ of the mind and ...
Biological factors are presented as the usual cause of persistent hyperactivity and attention deficit, and complex interactions between biology and the environment as the etiology of antisocial behavior. Research to integrate the findings is needed for clinicians to be able to determine which factors ...
Studies of breast cancer therapy have examined the improvement of bispecific trastuzumab/pertuzumab antibodies interacting simultaneously with two different epitopes of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). Here, we describe the creation and production of plant-made bispecific antibodies based...
These factors vary across individuals owing to genetic and epigenetic factors, as well as within individuals over time in response to environmental influences, including exposure to psychological trauma. As with other mental disorders, genetic vulnerability to PTSD is likely to involve the sum of ...
