Protozoan parasites infect and kill millions of people worldwide every year, particularly in developing countries where access to clean fresh water is limited.Among the most common are intestinal parasites, including Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica.These parasites wreak havoc on the epithelium lining the small intestines (G.lamblia) and c
Background: Convergent evidence is increasing to indicate progressive brain abnormalities in schizophrenia.Knowing the brain network features over the illness course in schizophrenia, independent of effects of antipsychotic medications, would extend our sight on this question.Methods: We recruited 237 antipsychotic-naive patients with schizophrenia
Along with symptoms of anxiety and depression, many breast cancer survivors experience symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that may worsen in the setting of other stressful life events.The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate whether a Apparel Fabric by the Yard 4-week version of our Contemplative Self-Healing program would have dif
We focus on the energy landscape of a simple mean-field model of glasses and analyze activated barrier-crossing by combining the Kac-Rice method for high-dimensional Gaussian landscapes with dynamical field theory.In particular, we consider Langevin dynamics at low temperature in the energy landscape of the pure spherical $p$-spin model.We select a
To make precise the sense in which the operational predictions of quantum theory conflict with a classical worldview, it is necessary to articulate a notion Beta Sitosterol of classicality within an operational framework.A widely applicable notion of classicality of this sort is whether or not the predictions of a given operational theory can be ex
