Working and Episodic Memory in HIV Infection, Alcoholism, and Their Comorbidity: Baseline and 1-Year Follow-Up Examinations
Selective memory deficits occur in individuals with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and those with chronic alcoholism, but the potential compounded effect of these conditions is seldom considered, despite the…

The Impact of Alcoholism on Sleep Evoked Delta Frequency Responses
The KC incidence and amplitude were negatively impacted in alcoholic men and women with exacerbation of the normal aging effects, particularly over frontal scalp regions.

Dopamine and Opioid Gene Variants Are Associated with Increased Smoking Reward and Reinforcement Owing to Negative Mood
We explored associations of gene variants in the dopamine, opioid, and serotonin pathways with smoking reward (‘liking’) and reinforcement (latency to first puff and total puffs) as a function of negative mood…

Zebrafish Chemical Screening Reveals an Inhibitor of Dusp6 That Expands Cardiac Cell Lineages
The dual-specificity phosphatase 6 (Dusp6) functions as a feedback regulator of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling to limit the activity of extracellular signal–regulated kinases (ERKs) 1 and 2.

Application of Subsecond Spiral Chemical Shift Imaging to Real-Time Multislice Metabolic Imaging of the Rat in Vivo After Injection of Hyperpolarized 13C1-Pyruvate
We report on the development of an ultrafast, multislice, spiral chemical shift imaging sequence, with subsecond acquisition time, achieved on a clinical MR scanner.

Interleukin 17 Production Among Patients with American Cutaneous Leishmaniasis
We show that lymphocytes obtained from patients with mucosal leishmaniasis and cutaneous leishmaniasis produce higher levels of IL‐17 than do lymphocytes obtained from uninfected control subjects (P

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Labeling of Tissue Transglutaminase Substrates for Wound Healing Monitoring
A novel imaging strategy is developed to optically monitor the wound healing process by crosslinking near-infrared fluorescent-labeled tissue transglutaminase substrates into the wound.

In Vivo Measurement of Ethanol Metabolism in the Rat Liver Using Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Hyperpolarized [1-13C]Pyruvate
Pyruvate is a readily polarizable substrate that has been the subject of numerous magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) studies of in vivo metabolism.
