Evidence Based Treatments

The recent increase in the aging population, specifically in the United States, has raised concerns regarding treatment for mental illness among older adults. Late-life depression (LLD) is a complex condition that has become widespread among the aging population. Despite the availability of behavioral interventions and psychotherapies, few depressed older adults actually receive treatment. In this paper we review the research on refining treatments for LLD. We first identify evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for LLD and the problems associated with efficacy and dissemination, then review approaches to conceptualizing mental illness, specifically concepts related to brain plasticity and the Research Domain Criteria (RDoc). Finally, we introduce ENGAGE as a streamlined treatment for LLD and discuss implications for future research.

Peripheral Facial Palsy

Abstract. This paper reviews adaptive and maladaptive mechanisms of cortical plasticity in patients suffering from peripheral facial palsy. As the peripheral facial nerve is a pure motor nerve, a facial nerve lesion is causing an exclusive deefferentation without deafferentation. We focus on the question of how the investigation of pure deefferentation adds to our current understanding of brain plasticity which derives from studies on learning and studies on brain lesions. The importance of efference and afference as drivers for cortical plasticity is discussed in addition to the crossmodal influence of different competitive sensory inputs. We make the attempt to integrate the experimental findings of the effects of pure deefferentation within the theoretical framework of cortical responses and predictive coding. We show that the available experimental data can be explained within this theoretical framework which also clarifies the necessity for maladaptive plasticity. Finally, we propose rehabilitation approaches for directing cortical reorganization in the appropriate direction and highlight some challenging questions that are yet unexplored in the field.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari variabilitas genetik, heritabilitas, dan menyeleksi penampilan genotipe karakter agronomi unggul pada 57 galur sawi untuk digunakan dalam bahan baku konsumsi dan industri. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan di Seed Bank and Nursery, Agrotechno Park Universitas Brawijaya, Desa Jatikerto, Kecamatan Kromengan, Kabupaten Malang pada bulan Desember 2018 – April 2019. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah rancangan acak kelompok diperluas (augmented design). Perlakuan yang diberikan adalah 60 genotipe sawi yang terdiri dari 57 genotipe yang diuji dan 3 varietas sebagai cek. Genotipe yang diuji akan disebar kedalam 5 blok, sedangkan tiga varietas cek akan ditanam pada setiap blok, sehingga terdapat 72 satuan percobaan. Variabel pengamatan karakter agronomi terdiri dari 15 karakter kualitatif dan 24 karakter kuantitatif. Variabilitas yang luas terdapat pada karakter biji per polong, jumlah polong per tanaman, dan berat segar. Heritabilitas tinggi terdapat pada karakter panjang kotiledon, jumlah daun konsumsi, berat segar, umur panen benih, jumlah polong per tanaman, panjang polong, lebar polong, dan jumlah biji per polong. Terdapat galur-galur sawi yang mempunyai karakter unggul untuk bahan baku konsumsi dan industri.

The University

The objective of this study was to collect information on genetic parameter and agronomy character of soybean F4 generation in the low light intensity condition. The parameter was tested to 130 lines F4 which are produced by Balai Besar Pengkajian dan Pengembangan Teknologi Pertanian (BBP2TP) Boor and the genotype of Sibayak, Tegal, Tanggamus, and Argomulyo were used as controls. The experiment was conducted in the university�s experimental field in Cikabayan, from September to December 2007. A total of 130 advance (F4) soybean lines were evaluated under shading in an augmented design experiment. The result of this study showed that all character has low genetic coefficient. The weight character of 25 grains has a considerably high heritability number in low li

The Impact

Objective: The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the impact of hemodialysis (HD) using synthetic Helixone membrane on brain functional control reorganization and plasticity in the cortical area generated while Oxidative Stress (OS) would be the main impacting agent. Methods: Indeed, 9 chronic HD patients underwent identical brain BOLD-fMRI assessment using the motor paradigm immediately before and after the same HD sessions. To assess the oxidative stress, the same patients underwent biological-assessment, including Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Total- Antioxidant-Activity (TAOA) reported in earlier papers. Results: BOLD-fMRI maps of motor areas obtained from HD-patients before and after HD sessions revealed a significant enhancement of activation volume of the studied motor cortex after HD reflecting brain plasticity. Results were correlated with OS assessed by the measurement of MDA and TAOA; this correlation was close to 1. Conclusion: Indeed, HD enhances the inflammatory state of brain tissues reflected by the increased OS. The functional brain reaction demonstrated a functional activity reorganization to overcome the inflammatory state and OS enhanced by HD process. This functional activity reorganization reveals brain plasticity induced by OS originated by HD.
