BACKGROUND Despite advances in the treatment of depression, one-third of depressed patients fail to respond to conventional antidepressant medication. There is a need for more effective treatments with fewer side effects. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether hyperthermic baths reduce depressive symptoms in adults with depressive disorder. METHODS Randomized, two-arm placebo-...

Empirical evidence suggests that reversing current account balances imply costly adjustment processes. Recent literature analyzes the costs of adjustment processes via treatment regressions and assesses the determinants of reversals via probit models. With larger data sets becoming available, steps to control for unobserved heterogeneity within the data are necessary. This paper contributes a B...

Taxotere (docetaxel) inhibits Plasmodium falciparum erythrocytic development in vitro at nanomolar concentrations, both in chloroquine-sensitive (F32/Tanzania) and chloroquine-resistant (FcB1/Colombia, FcR3/Gambia) strains. The dose-response assays performed on asynchronous cultures during 42 hr showed clear biphasic curves with a plateau from 50 microM to 10 nM and a single sigmoid curve with ...

Recent emerging market crises have emphasized the fluctuating character of trade’s reaction after financial crises, in contradiction with the apparently simple theoretical impact of such events on trade, which is essentially described by the well-known J-curve mechanism.. We use a gravity-like equation to assess the impact of these events on bilateral sectoral trade and reveal the elements whic...

This paper is the first to apply a nested logit model to measure the probabilities of speculative attacks and the probabilities of successful defenses by the central banks. This model allows us to predict not only the probability of speculative attacks but also the probability of successful defenses given attacks. Also, it provides a framework to analyze the degree to which different factors af...

Recently, a dramatic accumulation of foreign exchange reserves has been widely observed among developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to explore what macroeconomic impacts accumulated foreign reserves have in developing countries. In the first part, we analyze a simple open economy model where increased foreign reserves reduce costs of liquidity risk. Given the amount of foreign rese...

Introduction Coronavirus infection has shown a significant impact not only on physical health but also mental health. Among the long-term consequences in post-COVID period, depressive and anxiety disorders are well observed. A potential mechanism for developing after undergoing SARS-CoV-2 is neuroinflammatory process central nervous system. Objectives This study aimed to discover features of pe...

Studies examining career satisfaction of biomedical scientists are limited, especially in the context of prior postdoctoral training. Here we focused on career satisfaction defined as satisfaction with one's career trajectory and perceived salary competitiveness among a predominantly Ph.D.-trained population of scientists who completed cancer prevention-related postdoctoral training between 198...

IMPORTANCE Case-reports provided evidence that influenza infections, particularly severe episodes, may exert neuronal damage in the CNS and thereby increase the risk of depression. OBJECTIVE It was the aim of this study to analyse the association between influenza infections and the risk of developing incident depression. DESIGN We conducted a case-control analysis between 2000 and 2013 usi...
