DISTINCT RESTING-STATE EFFECTIVE CONNECTIVITY OF LARGE-SCALE NETWORKS IN FIRST-EPISODE AND RECURRENT MAJOR DEPRESSION DISORDER: EVIDENCE FROM THE REST-META-MDD CONSORTIUM

IntroductionPrevious studies have shown disrupted effective connectivity in the large-scale brain networks of individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD).However, it is unclear whether these changes differ between first-episode drug-naive MDD (FEDN-MDD) and recurrent MDD (R-MDD).MethodsThis study utilized resting-state fMRI data from 17 sites

BACKGROUND: The Ottawa ankle rules (OAR) are clinical decision guidelines used to identify whether patients with ankle injuries need to undergo radiography.The OAR have been proven that their application reduces unnecessary radiography.They have nearly perfect sensitivity for identifying clinically significant ankle fractures.OBJECTIVES: The purpos

This study addresses potential conflicts during collaborative tasks among university undergraduate students and presents strategies to mitigate such conflicts at a university in South Africa.Drawing on the unique context of South Africa, characterised by its rich cultural diversity and historical challenges, Social Identity Theory (SIT) was used to

Abstract The preparation of bakery products is expanding, mainly due to the possibility of adding other ingredients, in order to enrich them nutritionally.Spinach (Tetragonia tetragonoides) is a vegetable widely used, although its stem that has great potential for use, is still considered a waste and discarded.Based on the aforementioned informatio

In this paper, robust control strategies are explored to solve the problem of rendezvous maneuver for rigid spacecraft exposed to the HAND CREAM CHAMOMILE UNSCENTED external disturbance, actuator faults and unknown inertial parameters.To pursue the control objective, two adaptive controllers are constructed via the sliding mode control (SMC) techno
