Abstract

To compare ratings of self-esteem and depressive mood in a sample of stroke survivors in an acute inpatient rehabilitation setting to those of a matched control group. Stroke survivors (n = 80) were matched on age and education to a group of neurologically intact community-dwelling control participants. Between-group analysis compared mean ratings of self-esteem and depressive measures. Within-group correlational analyses explored the relationship between self-esteem and mood. Between-group comparison of the correlations between self-esteem and mood explored differences in the strength of association between these constructs. Regression analyses explored the relationship of self-esteem measures after controlling for depressive mood. Visual Analogue Self-Esteem Scale, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Geriatric Depression Scale. Stroke survivors rated significantly lower mean levels of self-esteem on the Visual Analogue Self-Esteem Scale (37 versus 41) and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (21 versus 24) than the control group. Stroke survivors also rated higher mean levels of depressive mood on the Geriatric Depression Scale (9 versus 6). Significantly higher correlations between self-esteem and mood ratings were noted in the stroke g...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
