A cross-sectional study exploring the positive aspects of caregiving in opioid dependence and its relation with quality of life, social support, and caregivers’ burden by Priyanka Saha, Sayan Saha, Gauri Shanker Kaloiya, Siddharth Sarkar

“…About two-thirds of the patients were currently using opioids (n = 135, 67.8%), while the remaining were abstinent. Among the SPACE domain scores, the mean was highest for motivation for the caregiving role (2.07), which was followed by self-esteem and social aspect of caring (2.04), caregiving personal gains (1.76), and caregiver satisfaction (1.65). …”

Vanadate reduction by gram-positive fermentative bacteria isolated from deep-sea sediments on the northern Central Indian Ridge. by Bokyung Kim, Dong Kyun Woo, Juhwan Jeong, Min Sub Sim

“…Our findings expand the distribution of vanadate-reducing organisms within the bacterial domain. Given the wide range of natural habitats of T. mesophilus and its close relatives, we speculate that fermentative vanadate reduction may have a greater impact on the global biogeochemical cycle of vanadium than previously thought.…”

Posterior AD-Type Pathology: Cognitive Subtypes Emerging from a Cluster Analysis by Antonella Cappa, Nicoletta Ciccarelli, Eleonora Baldonero, Marialuisa Martelli, Maria Caterina Silveri

“…To explore in patients with AD-type pathology whether a data-driven analysis (cluster analysis) based on neuropsychological findings resulted in the emergence of different subgroups of patients; in particular to find out whether it was possible to identify patients with visuospatial deficits consistent with the hypothesis that PCA is a “dorsal stream” syndrome or, rather, whether there were subgroups of patients with different types of impairment within the high-level visual domain. Methods. 23 PCA and 16 DAT patients were studied. …”
