How Well Can We Measure Visual Attention? Psychometric Properties of Manual Response Times and First Fixation Latencies in a Visual Search Paradigm
AbstractAttentional biases are considered to be important for the development and maintenance of anxiety disorders, but despite widespread research in this area, the psychometric properties of measures targeting attentional allocation processes have rarely been evaluated. The current study assessed the reliability and validity of manual response times and first fixation latencies within a visual search paradigm, including data from one hundred twenty-two participants (n = sixty-two participants with social anxiety disorder). We found raw manual response times to be highly reliable, while raw first fixation latencies, i...

Neuroimaging Biomarkers of Caloric Restriction on Brain Metabolic and Vascular Functions
AbstractPurpose of ReviewNon-invasive neuroimaging methods have been developed as powerful tools for identifying in vivo brain functions for studies in humans and animals. Here, we review the imaging biomarkers that are being used to determine the changes within brain metabolic and vascular functions induced by caloric restriction (CR) and their potential usefulness for future studies with dietary interventions in humans.Recent FindingsCR causes an early shift in brain metabolism of glucose to ketone bodies and enhances ATP production, neuronal activity, and cerebral blood flow (CBF). With age, CR preserves mitochondrial a...

Why do people choose Emergency and Urgent care services? A rapid review utilizing a systematic literature search and narrative synthesis.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified 6 distinct reasons explaining why patients choose to access emergency and urgent care services: Limited access to or confidence in primary care, patient perceived urgency, convenience, views of family, friends or other health professionals and a belief that their condition required the resources and facilities offered by a particular healthcare provider. There is a need to examine demand from a whole system perspective to gain better understanding of demand for different parts of the emergency and urgent care system and the characteristics of patients within each sector. This article is protected...

IP189. Is Patient Satisfaction Improved by Showing Patients Their CT and Angiographic Images Prior to Undergoing Vascular Surgery?
Patient-based decision aids and other multimedia tools have been developed to help enrich the preoperative discussion between surgeon and patient. Use of these tools, however, can be time consuming and logistically challenging. We investigated whether simply showing patients their images from preoperative computed tomography (CT) scans or angiograms would improve patient satisfaction with the preoperative discussion. We also examined whether this improved patient knowledge, patient trust, and whether it contributed to increased preoperative anxiety.

Neuroexistentialism: A Brain in Search of Meaning
[image fromHuth et al., 2016]No, not“meaning” in the semantic sense... “Neuroexistentialism” is the angst that some humans feel upon realizing that the mind and spirit have an entirely physical basis. At a personal level I don ' t understand all the hubbub, because I accepted thatmind = brain when I entered graduate school to study neuroscience. But for others:“Coming to terms with the neural basis of who we are can be very unnerving. It has been called“neuroexistentialism”, which really captures the essence of it. We ’re not in the habit of thinking about ourselves that way” (Churchland, 2013). ...

The use of psychiatry ‐focused simulation in undergraduate nursing education: A systematic search and review
Abstract
Evidence on the use of simulation to teach psychiatry and mental health (including addiction) content is emerging, yet no summary of the implementation processes or associated outcomes exists. The aim of this study was to systematically search and review empirical literature on the use of psychiatry‐focused simulation in undergraduate nursing education. Objectives were to (i) assess the methodological quality of existing evidence on the use of simulation to teach mental health content to undergraduate nursing students, (ii) describe the operationalization of the simulations, and (iii) summarize the associated q...

Immersive technological approaches to managing perceived pain in pediatric patients undergoing vascular access procedures
“Needle phobia” commonly causes distress amongst children undergoing vascular access (VA) procedures. This can lead to increased pain perception and anxiety during VA. Distraction is often used to engage pediatric patients in order to reduce these negative outcomes. The aim of this study is to e valuate the efficacy of two technological interventions to distract and alleviate distress in patients receiving a blood draw, IV placement, or port access. A projection unit called the Bedside Entertainment Theatre (BERT) displayed videos on walls and was used for children ages 2 to 7 years.

Patient satisfaction with the consent discussion is not improved by showing patients their computed tomography or angiography images before they undergo vascular surgery
Patient-based decision aids and other multimedia tools have been developed to help enrich the preoperative discussion between surgeon and patient. Use of these tools, however, can be time-consuming and logistically challenging. We investigated whether simply showing patients their images from preoperative computed tomography (CT) or angiography would improve patients' satisfaction with the preoperative discussion. We also examined whether this improved the patient's understanding and trust and whether it contributed to increased preoperative anxiety.

The impact of sex as a biological variable in the search for novel antidepressants.
Abstract
A roadblock to successful treatment for anxiety and depression is the high proportion of individuals that do not respond to existing treatments. Different underlying neurobiological mechanisms may drive similar symptoms, so a more personalized approach to treatment could be more successful. There is increasing evidence that sex is an important biological variable modulating efficacy of antidepressants and anxiolytics. We review evidence for sex-specific effects of traditional monoamine based antidepressants and newer pharmaceuticals targeting kappa opioid receptors (KOR), oxytocin receptors (OTR), and N-m...
