TL;DR: It appears that parental personality, psychopathology and related cognitions and emotions contribute to parental sleep-related behaviors and ultimately influence infant sleep, however, the links are bidirectional and dynamic so that poor infant sleep may influence parental behaviors and poor infantSleep appears to be a family stressor and a risk factor for maternal depression.

TL;DR: It appears that previous studies might have defined the concept of anonymity too broadly by not addressing other online communication factors, especially lack of eye-contact, that impact disinhibition.

TL;DR: The coupling of CPM and duloxetine efficacy highlights the importance of pain pathophysiology in the clinical decision‐making process and promotes personalized pain therapy.
Abstract: This study aims to individualize the selection of drugs for neuropathic pain by examining the potential coupling of a given drug's mechanism of action with the patient's pain modulation pattern. The latter is assessed by the conditioned pain modulation (CPM) and temporal summation (TS) protocols. We hypothesized that patients with a malfunctioning pain modulation pattern, such as less efficient CPM, would benefit more from drugs augmenting descending inhibitory pain control than would patients with a normal modulation pattern of efficient CPM. Thirty patients with painful diabetic neuropathy received 1 week of placebo, 1 week of 30 mg/d duloxetine, and 4 weeks of 60 mg/d duloxetine. Pain modulation was assessed psychophysically, both before and at the end of treatment. Patient assessment of drug efficacy, assessed weekly, was the study's primary outcome. Baseline CPM was found to be correlated with duloxetine efficacy (r=0.628, P<.001, efficient CPM is marked negative), such that less efficient CPM predicted efficacious use of duloxetine. Regression analysis (R(2)=0.673; P=.012) showed that drug efficacy was predicted only by CPM (P=.001) and not by pretreatment pain levels, neuropathy severity, depression level, or patient assessment of improvement by placebo. Furthermore, beyond its predictive value, the treatment-induced improvement in CPM was correlated with drug efficacy (r=-0.411, P=.033). However, this improvement occurred only in patients with less efficient CPM (16.8±16.0 to -1.1±15.5, P<.050). No predictive role was found for TS. In conclusion, the coupling of CPM and duloxetine efficacy highlights the importance of pain pathophysiology in the clinical decision-making process. This evaluative approach promotes personalized pain therapy.

TL;DR: It is shown that in eIF2alpha(+/S51A) mice, in which eif2alpha phosphorylation is reduced, the threshold for eliciting L-LTP in hippocampal slices is lowered, and memory is enhanced, and the importance of a single phosphorylated site in e IF2alpha as a key regulator of L- LTP and LTM formation is highlighted.

06 Apr 2008TL;DR: It is found that a Q&A site's community of users contributes to its success, and it was typically higher in Google Answers (a fee-based site) than in the free sites the authors studied, and paying more money for an answer led to better outcomes.
Abstract: Question and answer (Q&A) sites such as Yahoo! Answers are places where users ask questions and others answer them In this paper, we investigate predictors of answer quality through a comparative, controlled field study of responses provided across several online Q&A sites Along with several quantitative results concerning the effects of factors such as question topic and rhetorical strategy, we present two high-level messages First, you get what you pay for in Q&A sites Answer quality was typically higher in Google Answers (a fee-based site) than in the free sites we studied, and paying more money for an answer led to better outcomes Second, we find that a Q&A site's community of users contributes to its success Yahoo! Answers, a Q&A site where anybody can answer questions, outperformed sites that depend on specific individuals to answer questions, such as library reference services
