This paper analyzes the impact of degree urbanization on child material deprivation by region in Spain. Using EU-SILC 2009 and 2014 special module deprivation, we find that living a city or town, with respect to village, increases larger extent than household income. The effect income becomes only among households largest (top quintile). Differentiating needs, children’s basic needs provision d...

The objective of this paper is to provide a measure deprivation in Tunisia. focus will be on non-monetary which complement the profile poor country. work carried out Tunisian data from national survey budget, consumption, and household’s standard living (2015). study tries explore, addition monetary dimension, deprivations Tunisia essential dimensions dignified respectable human life: housing, ...

PURPOSE To characterize the effects of visual form deprivation by diffuser in marmoset monkey eyes across a range of ages. METHODS Twenty-four common marmosets were grouped by onset of deprivation (group 1: 0-39 days, n = 6; group 2: 40-99 days, n = 10; and group 3: 100-200 days, n = 8). Monocular form deprivation was induced with a white translucent diffuser worn for 28 to 88 days (mean dura...

BACKGROUND The aims of this study were to assess whether deprivation inequality at small area level in England is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality rates and to assess whether this provides evidence of an association between area-level and individual-level risk. METHODS Mortality rates for all wards in England were calculated using all CHD deaths between 2001 and 2006. Wa...

BACKGROUND Glasgow's low life expectancy and high levels of deprivation are well documented. Studies comparing Glasgow to similarly deprived cities in England suggest an excess of deaths in Glasgow that cannot be accounted for by deprivation. Within Scotland comparisons are more equivocal suggesting deprivation could explain Glasgow's excess mortality. Few studies have used life expectancy, an ...

Introduction: The concentration of noradrenalin and corticosterone as the two nociception modulators change after fasting or stress situation. The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of food deprivation on formalin-induced nociceptive behaviours and plasma levels of noradrenalin and corticosterone in rats. Methods: Food was withdrawn 12, 24 and 48 h prior to performing the formal...

Sleep deprivation has adverse consequences for a variety of cognitive functions. The exact effects of sleep deprivation, though, are dependent upon the cognitive process examined. Within working memory, for example, some component processes are more vulnerable to sleep deprivation than others. Additionally, the differential impacts on cognition of different types of sleep deprivation have not b...

BACKGROUND Deprivation usually encompasses material, social, and health components. It has been shown to be associated with greater risks of developing chronic health conditions and of worse outcome in multimorbidity. The DipCare questionnaire, an instrument developed and validated in Switzerland for use in primary care, identifies patients subject to potentially higher levels of deprivation. ...

In vitro ischemia models have utilized oxygen, or oxygen and glucose deprivation to simulate ischemic neuronal injury. Combined oxygen and glucose deprivation can induce neuronal damage which is in part mediated through NMDA receptors. Severe oxygen deprivation alone however can cause neuronal injury which is not NMDA mediated. We tested the hypothesis that NMDA, or non-NMDA receptor mediated m...

Model organisms subject to dietary restriction (DR) generally live longer. Accompanying this lifespan extension are improvements in overall health, based on multiple metrics. This indicates that pharmacological treatments that mimic the effects of DR could improve health in humans. To find new chemical structures that extend lifespan, we screened 30 000 synthetic, diverse drug-like chemicals in...
