ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: We investigated the association between mean corpuscular volume (MCV), carbohydrate-deficient transferrin (CDT), and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels and gray and white brain matter in male drinkers to find out which if any of these biomarkers of alcohol consumption is indicative for alcohol-related differences in brain volume. METHOD: Plasma levels of CDT, GGT, and MCV and magnetic resonance imaging-determined brain gray and white matter volumes were assessed in 55 male drinkers. Current alcohol intake and lifetime alcohol intake were determined by self-report measures. The relationship between MCV, CDT, and GGT and brain volumes was explored using multiple linear regression analyses. RESULTS: There was a significant negative relationship between plasma GGT and MCV levels and gray matter volumes. Middle-aged male drinkers with highly elevated GGT and MCV levels (twice the standard deviation above the mean) have 4-12% less parietal and occipital gray matter than males with average GGT and MCV levels. There was no association between CDT levels and brain gray or white matter. CONCLUSIONS: Elevated GGT and MCV levels may be indicative of alcohol-related gray-matter decline in male drinkers. The link with GGT may reflect that elevated GGT levels are a sign of increased oxidative stress. The link with MCV levels may reflect a decreased oxygen transport to the brain.

ABSTRACT: A quantitative meta-analysis was carried out on the chronic effects of ecstasy use on working memory (WM), assumed to consist of a central executive (CE) and four executive subcomponents: Updating, Attention shifting, Inhibition and Access to long term memory. Publications dating from January 1998 to January 2008 were only included when they fulfilled the criteria for a meta-analysis (number of subjects, means and standard deviations) and when polydrug users were used as controls. In addition, we also determined effect sizes for lifetime consumption differences between the groups of other psycho-active substances than ecstasy. Both Lifetime Total Ecstasy Consumption (LTEC) and the effect sizes for alcohol, nicotine, amphetamine, cocaine and lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) were regressed on the mean effect sizes (mES) of the WM subcomponents in order to study dose-response relationships. Ecstasy users appeared to score significantly lower on the subcomponents Updating, Attention shifting and Access to long term memory, but not on Inhibition. We did not find significant regressions of LTEC on any of the executive functioning subcomponents mES values. Ecstasy users also consumed significantly more amphetamine, cocaine, alcohol, nicotine and LSD, but less alcohol than polydrug controls. However, also for these drugs no indications were found for a dose-response relationship with executive functioning.Current Drug Abuse Reviews 11/2010; 3(3):129-38. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Declarative memory deficits are common in untreated adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but limited evidence exists to support improvement after treatment with methylphenidate. The objective of this study was to examine the effects of methylphenidate on memory functioning of adults with ADHD. Eighteen adults with ADHD who were clinical responders to methylphenidate participated in this randomized crossover trial. After 3 days of no treatment, patients received in random order either their usual methylphenidate dose (mean: 14.7 mg; range: 10-30 mg) or placebo, separated by a 6-7-day washout period. Patients performed an immediate word recall test 1 h after treatment administration. Three hours after intake, patients performed the second part of the memory test (delayed word recall and a recognition test). Delayed recognition and immediate recall was similar on treatment and on placebo. Delayed word recall was significantly better in the methylphenidate than in the placebo condition (F (1, 17) = 7.0, p < 0.017). A significant correlation was found between prestudy CES-D depression scores and difference scores on delayed recall (r = 0.602, p < 0.008). Methylphenidate improves declarative memory functioning in patients with ADHD. New studies should further examine whether subclinical depressive symptoms mediate the effect of methylphenidate on declarative memory.Psychopharmacology 10/2010; 212(2):277-81. · 3.99 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Some studies suggest that the effects of low to moderate drinking (about 1-3 standard glasses of alcohol per day) on the brain and cognitive performance are positive. In the present study this hypothesis is investigated. For this purpose studies on the effects of low to moderate drinking on brain structure (Magnetic Resonance Induction (MRI) studies) and on cognitive performance were analysed and discussed In MRI studies, a linear negative effect of alcohol consumption on brain volume was found. Furthermore, a linear decrease in grey matter concurring with a linear increase in white matter volumes as a function of number of drinks was reported in males, but not in females. Only in elderly low to moderate drinkers (aged > 65 years) there appeared to be an U-shaped relationship between alcohol consumption and white matter integrity (grade) on the one hand and cognition on the other hand. The changes reported in brain shrinkage, grey matter and white matter volume, as a result of low to moderate alcohol consumption sooner offer support for the contention that such drinking decreases brain health than for its beneficial effect. An exception might hold for elderly light and moderate drinkers where less white matter damage was found than in abstainers concurring with better cognitive performance. However, methodological problems impose limits on this conclusion.Human Psychopharmacology Clinical and Experimental 05/2009; 24(3):199-205. · 2.10 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ability to revise one's action plans, as reflected in so-called stopping performance, is of fundamental importance to adaptive behavior. Previous studies in children and adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have revealed impaired stopping, which improved after the administration of methylphenidate (MPH). Event-related brain potentials revealed that one crucial mechanism in adequate stopping is the link between the cortical areas that process the signal to stop and the motor system (stop N1). This stop N1 was severely compromised in adults with ADHD. The present study investigates whether methylphenidate can restore the stop N1, in addition to improving stopping performance. The acute effect of a serotonergic reuptake inhibition on these parameters was also assessed. Twelve adult combined-type ADHD patients received either placebo, MPH .4 mg/kg or .6 mg/kg, or 20 mg paroxetine in a double-blind, randomized, within-subjects design. The .6 mg/kg dose of methylphenidate improved stopping performance, whereas it did not affect go reaction time (RT). It also restored the stop N1 that was absent under placebo. Methylphenidate reduced a later stop-related potential, the stop P3, which may reflect monitoring of failed stops. Paroxetine had no effect on stopping performance or on stop N1, but it reduced stop P3. A .6 mg/kg dose of methylphenidate improves stopping performance and directly targets a stop-related brain mechanism that has been reported before to be compromised in a group of ADHD patients. This mechanism was not influenced by acute serotonergic reuptake inhibition.Biological psychiatry 04/2009; 65(7):614-9. · 8.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Antagonists of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors such as ketamine, induce abnormalities in healthy subjects similar to those found in schizophrenia. However, recent evidence, suggests that most of the currently known NMDA antagonists have a broader receptor profile than originally thought. Besides exerting an antagonistic effect on NMDA receptors, they have agonistic effects on dopamine D2 receptors. Can haloperidol (D2 antagonist) counteract the disruptive effects of ketamine on psychophysiological parameters of human attention? In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment 18 healthy male volunteers received placebo/placebo, placebo/ketamine (0.3 mg/kg i.v.) and haloperidol (2 mg)/ketamine (0.3 mg/kg i.v.) on three separate test days, after which they were tested in an auditory selective-attention paradigm. Haloperidol/ketamine reduced task performance compared to placebo/placebo, while the task performance in these two treatments did not differ from placebo/ketamine. Furthermore, placebo/ketamine reduced processing negativity compared to both placebo/placebo and haloperidol/ketamine, while processing negativity did not differ between placebo/placebo and haloperidol/ketamine treatments. However, both placebo/ketamine and haloperidol/ketamine reduced P300 amplitude compared to placebo/placebo, while P300 amplitude did not differ between placebo/ketamine and haloperidol/ketamine treatments. The combined effects of haloperidol and ketamine reduced task performance, suggesting that this is dependent on dopaminergic D2 activity, probably in the prefrontal cortex. In addition, ketamine reduced both P300 amplitude and processing negativity. In contrast to the P300 amplitude, the disruptive effects of ketamine on processing negativity could be prevented by pretreatment with haloperidol. The current results suggest that ketamine reduced P300 amplitude by its antagonistic effect on glutamatergic activity, while it reduced processing negativity by its agonistic effect on dopaminergic D2 activity.The International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology 02/2009; 12(6):823-32. · 5.64 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Although patients with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have reported improved driving performance on methylphenidate, limited evidence exists to support an effect of treatment on driving performance and some regions prohibit driving on methylphenidate. A randomized, crossover trial examining the effects of methylphenidate versus placebo on highway driving in 18 adults with ADHD was carried out. After three days of no treatment, patients received either their usual methylphenidate dose (mean: 14.7 mg; range: 10-30 mg) or placebo and then the opposite treatment after a six to seven days washout period. Patients performed a 100 km driving test during normal traffic, 1.5 h after treatment administration. Standard deviation of lateral position (SDLP), the weaving of the car, was the primary outcome measure. Secondary outcome measurements included the standard deviation of speed and patient reports of driving performance. Driving performance was significantly better in the methylphenidate than in the placebo condition, as reflected by the SDLP difference (2.3 cm, 95% CI = 0.8-3.8, P = 0.004). Variation in speed was similar on treatment and on placebo (-0.05 km/h, 95% CI = -0.4 to 0.2, P = 0.70). Among adults with ADHD, with a history of a positive clinical response to methylphenidate, methylphenidate significantly improves driving performance.Journal of Psychopharmacology 06/2008; 22(3):230-7. · 2.81 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The looking behavior of children with pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) and age- and IQ-matched normal control children was studied using infrared oculography. Stimuli varying in complexity and topic were presented to test whether children with PDD have specific abnormalities in looking behavior to complex stimuli and/or to faces. All children showed more and longer fixations on the complex objects than on the simple objects, especially the complex nonsense figure, but group differences were not found. The results show no evidence for specific abnormalities in looking behavior to either faces or to complex stimuli in high functioning children with PDD.Brain and Cognition 11/2007; 65(1):107-11. · 2.68 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In alcohol dependent individuals, abnormalities in brain functioning have been revealed using event-related potential (ERP) methods. In the present study, we investigated whether in non-alcohol dependent drinkers functioning of the brain is also compromised as a function of recent and lifetime drinking history (LDH). An ERP verb generation task consisting of two conditions (generating verbs describing the use of visually presented nouns versus reading nouns aloud) was used; subtracting ERPs in the latter condition from those in the former should reveal the sequence of brain processes involved in verb generation. Four groups were included, consisting of individuals drinking either lightly, moderately, heavily, or excessively (overall mean age 46.6 years). Participants were sober at the time of testing. Although the excessive group had the highest per cent retrieval errors, there was no continuous relationship between this score and amount of alcohol consumption. However, number of glasses per week affected differential ERPs associated with verb generation both at short (120-220 ms, mid-frontal sites) and at longer latencies (from 700 ms on),left-temporal and right-frontal electrode sites (T7, F6). It is concluded that moderate, heavy, and excessive drinkers, compared to light drinkers, show abnormal brain potentials associated with verb generation over frontal and temporal areas. Moderate to excessive drinking alters some but not all brain processes involved in verb generation. In particular the frontal and temporal brain areas appear to be vulnerable for the effects of chronic lifetime drinking.Human Psychopharmacology Clinical and Experimental 04/2007; 22(3):157-66. · 1.85 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The effect of methylphenidate (MPH) on inhibitory control as assessed by the stop task in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) could be influenced by task difficulty and may be mediated by attention. Fifteen children with ADHD performed the stop and the change task after placebo, 0.5 and 1.0 mg/kg MPH in a within-subject design. Linear-trend analysis showed a similar effect of MPH in both tasks and a stronger effect for inhibitory control than for attention. Furthermore, a correlation was found between blood serum metabolites of norepinephrine and dopamine for attentional measures and inhibitory control measures, respectively. In children with ADHD MPH could act primarily on inhibitory control, and is not influenced by task difficulty. Also, attention and inhibitory control could have differential pharmacological profiles.European Psychiatry 01/2007; 21(8):544-7. · 3.21 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with schizophrenia exhibit diverse cognitive deficits, one of which is a loss of the ability to focus attention. According to the revised dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia both an increased mesolimbic and a decreased prefrontal dopaminergic activity is suggested to be involved in schizophrenia. The current study was designed to explore the relationship between dopamine and two psychophysiological parameters of selective attention, i.e. P300 amplitude and processing negativity (PN) in healthy volunteers. In two separate experiments, with a double-blind, balanced and placebo-controlled crossover design, 18 healthy male volunteers were orally administered either 300 mg l-dopa (precursor of dopamine) or placebo (experiment I), or 1.25mg bromocriptine (D2 agonist) or placebo (experiment II). Following this treatment they were tested in an auditory, dichotic selective attention paradigm. An increase in P300 amplitude was found following deviant stimuli when compared to standard stimuli and following attended stimuli when compared to unattended stimuli, regardless of treatment. Similarly, PN was found regardless of treatment. Neither l-dopa nor bromocriptine affected task performance or the amplitudes of PN or P300. In the present study neither l-dopa nor bromocriptine affected PN, P300 amplitude or task performance in healthy controls, phenomena which are usually found to be disrupted in schizophrenia. This indicates that P300 amplitude and PN are neither affected by a global (l-dopa) increased dopaminergic activity, nor by a more selectively towards striatal areas targeted (bromocriptine) increase in dopaminergic activity.Journal of Psychopharmacology 12/2006; 20(6):789-98. · 2.81 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Patients with schizophrenia exhibit reduced levels of both prepulse inhibition of the startle reflex (PPI) and condition-test suppression of the P50 event-related potential. This study investigated the extent to which PPI and P50 suppression, which exhibit similar parametric sensitivities, are intrinsically auditory phenomena or can be induced cross-modally, and reflect common or distinct neural mechanisms of inhibition. PPI, N100, and P50 were assessed in 20 healthy male volunteers, using auditory test probes and both visual and auditory lead stimuli, separated by 100- or 500-ms interstimulus intervals (ISIs). PPI was found in the auditory-lead condition across the complete group, and with visual-lead stimuli in approximately half of the subjects. Intra-modal auditory PPI was significantly higher with the 100-ms ISI than with the 500-ms ISI. P50 suppression was found only with the 500-ms ISI, with no difference between the auditory and visual conditions. Source analyses revealed that suppression was associated with frontal cortical activity. N100 suppression was found only in the auditory condition, with no difference between 100- and 500-ms ISIs. Although both phenomena are considered to provide operational measures of gating, PPI and P50 suppression are differentially sensitive to ISI and therefore reflect partly different neural mechanisms. They are not intrinsically auditory phenomena, and both appear to involve frontal cortical activity. In contrast, N100 suppression is most likely based on refractory mechanisms intrinsic to the auditory system.Psychiatry Research 09/2006; 143(2-3):147-58. · 2.68 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In alcohol-dependent individuals, synchronization of brain activity is different from that in non-alcohol-dependent individuals as reflected by EEG differences at alpha and beta frequencies (8-30 Hz). These EEG differences may not only be related to long-term alcohol intake but also to genetic factors that are associated with alcohol dependence. Thus, it is not known what the pure effect of long-term alcohol intake on synchronization of brain activity is. Therefore, we investigated whether EEG synchronization differs between light (0.5-6 drinks per week), moderate (7-20 drinks per week), and heavy (21-53 drinks per week) drinkers. All participants (49 males and 47 females) were free of a personal and family history of alcohol dependence. Eyes-closed EEG was recorded at rest and during mental rehearsal of pictures. EEG synchronization was determined by computing Synchronization Likelihood for six frequency bands (0.5-4 Hz, 4-8 Hz, 8-12 Hz, 12-20 Hz, 20-30 Hz, 30-45 Hz). Both male and female heavy drinkers displayed a loss of lateralization in alpha (8-12 Hz) and slow-beta (12-20 Hz) synchronization. In addition, moderately and heavily drinking males had lower fast-beta (20-30 Hz) synchronization than lightly drinking males. It is concluded that both male and female drinkers who drink 21 alcoholic drinks per week or more have impaired synchronization of brain activity during rest and mental rehearsal at alpha and beta frequencies as compared to individuals who drink less. As individuals with a personal or family history of alcohol dependence were excluded, the confounding effects of genetic factors related to alcohol dependence on synchronization of brain activity were minimized.International Journal of Psychophysiology 07/2006; 60(3):304-14. · 2.65 Impact Factor - European Neuropsychopharmacology 01/2006; · 5.40 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Poor sleep quality often results in decreased alertness, drowsiness and sleepiness the following day. Pharmacological treatment of sleep complaints can aggravate these effects, resulting in impaired performance at work and during daily activities such as driving a car. The first hypnotics, the barbiturates, have a limited safety profile and produce significant daytime impairment. They were replaced by the benzodiazepines during the 1970s, which showed to be efficient in the treatment of insomnia but are much safer than the barbiturates. However, bedtime use of benzodiazepines also produces sleepiness and significantly impairs driving performance the following day. The presence and severity of driving impairment varies between benzodiazepines, depending on their half-life, dosage and time after administration. Nonbenzodiazepines such as zopiclone, zolpidem and zaleplon were developed to overcome the residual hypnotic effects interfering with daytime performance. Zolpidem showed little to no daytime driving impairment when administered at bedtime, but middle-of-the-night administration is not recommended for this drug. In contrast, zaleplon (10 mg and 20 mg), administered either at bedtime or in the middle of the night, does not affect driving ability. Therefore, zaleplon is a safe alternative for patients suffering from insomnia that want treatment as needed (during the night when symptoms occur), and are willing to drive a car the following morning.12/2005: pages 188-200; - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In alcohol-dependent individuals changes in brain functioning, as measured with Event Related Potentials (ERP) have been reported. In the present study a visual attention and an auditory oddball task were used to investigate possible differences between light, moderate, and heavy social drinkers and excessive drinkers. It was hypothesized that with increasing alcohol intake an increasing number of ERP components elicited in the visual attention task and the auditory oddball task would show diminished amplitudes. No differences were found between light, moderate, and heavy social drinkers. A trend for a smaller P3 amplitude in the visual attention task was found when comparing the alcohol-dependent participants with the light social drinkers. It is argued that this difference might be an effect of alcohol dependence and/or a reflection of possible unknown or undetected family history of alcohol-related disturbances. In the current study, even at rather large amounts of regular alcohol intake, no evidence was found for any toxic effect of social alcohol use neither in a visual attention task nor in an auditory oddball task.Alcoholism Clinical and Experimental Research 12/2005; 29(11):2029-38. · 3.31 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present selective review addresses attention, inhibition, and their underlying brain mechanisms, especially in relation to attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders (AD/HD), and the effects of methylphenidate. In particular, event-related potential (ERP) studies suggest a deficit in the early-filtering aspect of selective attention in children with AD/HD. Results from stop tasks are consistent with impairments in stopping performance in AD/HD, but in children (as opposed to adults) these effects cannot be easily dissociated from more general impairments in attention to the task, and therefore an interpretation in terms of inhibitory control is not straightforward. On the other hand, the beneficial effects of methylphenidate are more specific to stopping, and there are no clearcut effects of methylphenidate on measures of selective attention. Even when group differences pertain specifically to stopping performance (as with adults with AD/HD), ERP evidence suggests at least a partial contribution of differences in switching attention to the stop signal, as revealed in measures of sensory cortex activation. ERP evidence from cued go/nogo tasks underlines the importance of taking into account the contribution of higher order control processes involved in anticipation of and preparation for task stimuli. It suggests that in certain conditions, expectancy, rather than response bias, contributes to increased behavioral response tendencies, and that a presumed index of response inhibition, the nogo N2, may rather reflect conflict monitoring. In sum, direct reflections of brain activity suggest that mechanisms of expectation and attention, rather than of response bias or inhibitory control, govern behavioral manifestations of impulsivity.International Journal of Psychophysiology 11/2005; 58(1):59-70. · 2.65 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A lack of inhibitory control has been suggested to be the core deficit in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), especially in adults. This means that a primary deficit in inhibition mediates a cascade of secondary deficits in other executive functions, such as attention. Impaired stopping has been claimed to support the inhibition hypothesis. However, executive functions such as inhibition and attention are hard to disentangle. To use event-related potentials in adult patients with ADHD to show that impaired stopping is associated with abnormalities of attention. The stop signal task was presented to 24 adults with ADHD combined subtype and 24 controls. Stop event-related potentials are distorted by overlap from event-related potentials to other stimuli in close temporal proximity, but we applied a method (Adjar level 2) to effectively remove this overlap. In line with an inhibitory control deficit, the stop signal reaction time was longer in adults with ADHD (F(1,46) = 7.12, P<.01) whereas there was no significant difference for go stimulus reaction time. Overlap-free stop event-related potentials revealed smaller stop P3s in adults with ADHD (F(1,44) = 4.20, P<.05). In children with ADHD, this has been interpreted to reflect deficient inhibitory control. However, controls were also found to have larger early responses in the auditory cortex (N1) when stop signals resulted in successful stops, relative to failed stops, signifying increased attention (F(1,23) = 11.88, P<.01). This difference was completely absent in adults with ADHD. Disturbed attentional processing of the stop signal contributed to impaired stopping in adults with ADHD. This finding may have implications for treatment.Archives of General Psychiatry 10/2005; 62(10):1129-36. · 13.75 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A lack of inhibitory control has been suggested to be the core deficit in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This means that a primary deficit in behavioral inhibition mediates a cascade of secondary deficits in other executive functions, such as arousal regulation. Clinical observations have revealed that with increasing age symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity decline at a higher rate than those of inattention. This might imply that a deficit in attention rather than a lack of inhibitory control is the major feature in adult ADHD. To study whether an attentional or inhibitory deficit predominates, the stop-signal task and the stop-change task were presented to 24 adults with ADHD combined subtype and 24 controls. Relative to controls, the stop-signal reaction time (SSRT) was significantly more prolonged than the go-stimulus reaction time (RT) in patients with ADHD. This disproportionate elongation of the SSRT was comparable across tasks, even though the stop-change task exerted more complex (or at least different) demands on the inhibitory system than the stop-signal task. ADHD patients had a higher proportion of choice errors, possibly reflecting more premature responses. Specifically in the stop-change task, patients had more variable choice responses and made more inappropriate change responses, which may also reflect enhanced impulsivity. The results support a core deficit in behavioral inhibition in adults with ADHD. We further suggest that there is more evidence for a critical role of deficient inhibitory control in adults than in children with ADHD.Psychological Medicine 07/2005; 35(6):807-16. · 5.43 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether current or lifetime alcohol intake is related to focal gray and white matter in healthy non-alcohol-dependent drinkers, and, if so, whether these densities are related to functional brain activity associated with visual attention. Voxel-based morphometric analyses of gray- and white-matter densities, and event-related potentials in response to a visual-attention task were determined in 47 male drinkers (current alcohol intake 20 drinks per week, lifetime alcohol intake 240 kg) and 44 female drinkers (current alcohol intake 15 drinks per week, lifetime alcohol intake 170 kg). All participants had a negative personal and family history of alcohol dependence to reduce possible confounding by genetic factors related to alcohol dependence. In males, mean lifetime alcohol intake was negatively associated with gray-matter density and positively associated with white-matter density in the right frontal gyrus (BA 6) and the right parietal region (BA 40). Right frontal (but not right parietal) gray and white matter in males correlated with the P3 amplitude of the event-related potentials elicited in a visual-attention task. In females, mean lifetime alcohol intake was not associated with gray- or white-matter density. Current alcohol intake was unrelated to gray or white matter in both males and females. In conclusion, lifetime alcohol intake is associated with focal gray-matter decreases and white-matter increases in the right frontal and right parietal brain regions in non-alcohol-dependent males, but not in females. These alcohol-related differences in focal brain matter in males are associated with differences in brain function related to visual attention. As the confounding effects of genetic factors were reduced, the present results may selectively relate to the effects of alcohol intake on focal brain matter.NeuroImage 07/2005; 26(2):536-45. · 6.13 Impact Factor

Magic remain optimistic as post-Howard era begins
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)
In the building Dwight Howard's exploits helped build it's hard to find even the smallest remnant of the former Orlando center these days.
The photographs, murals and other likenesses that once adorned virtually every other crevice inside the Magic's Amway Center have been scraped away, now just painful reminders of championship aspirations never realized.
After taking the Magic through one of the most tumultuous years in their history, the six-time all-star who called himself Superman is now a villain - departed from the city he once pledged to take to its first NBA title.
Change is everywhere for the new-look Magic.
Orlando enters the season with a new general manager, coach and roster full of new faces - and a promise to recover is the rallying cry of those that are left.
The marketing slogan for the first year of the post-Howard era: ''We will.''
''It's a new, exciting beginning, a new era for Magic basketball,'' CEO Alex Martins said. ''It's great to see a bunch of guys in camp that really want to be here and really want to wear that Orlando Magic on front of their uniform.''
Whatever the mood following the divorce from Howard, change is not a new word here. After all, the franchise is helped by similar wholesale upheaval following the departure of Shaquille O'Neal in 1996 to the same Los Angeles Lakers team that Howard now finds himself.
Since taking over for fired coach Stan Van Gundy, first-year coach Jacque Vaughn has not shied away from the new slate he's been handed by first-time general manager Rob Hennigan. He's also selling a fresh start approach to a roster that returns just four players that have been with the organization more than one season.
One of those players, point guard Jameer Nelson, isn't fearing the newness, even though he acknowledges it will be a vastly different team now.
''I think we can be better than people think because they don't know, nobody knows what's gonna happen,'' Nelson said. ''So for people to count us out automatically, that's just people writing things. It's up to us to go out there and work hard, make ourselves better and establish an identity.''
Health will be an extra impediment for the Magic, at least during the early part of the season.
Vaughn was one of the last coaches to begin the cut down process for his regular-season roster because so many members of his projected rotation spent most of the preseason on the mend.
With shooting guard Jason Richardson, forward Ryan Anderson and Howard all gone from last year's starting lineup, Nelson and forward Hedo Turkoglu entered training camp as the only holdovers.
But Vaughn has been curtailed in seeing what will likely be his opening night lineup of Nelson, shooting guard Arron Afflalo, forwards Turkoglu and Glen Davis and center Nik Vucevic, mostly because Afflalo has been restricted by a nagging sore left hamstring.
Other expected rotation contributors also have also spent their preseasons rehabbing injuries, including rookie forward Maurice Harkless (sports hernia surgery), forward Al Harrington (knee surgery), backup point guard Ish Smith (shoulder surgery) and swingman Christian Eyenga (hamstring).
It's all going to demand a coach with a lot of patience to manage a group that likely won't be in the best position to produce the Magic's fifth 50-win season in the last six seasons or seventh consecutive playoff appearance.
The 37-year-old Vaughn fashions himself as a no frills person who has a calm demeanor that he says won't change. Even as he becomes the league's youngest head coach.
''That's the most important thing, for me not to pretend to be anyone else but myself,'' Vaughn said. ''That's how I've been and that' great advice for me going forward...I will be me.''
His mentor as a player and assistant the past two seasons in San Antonio, Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich, said that he doesn't think Vaughn will have trouble finding his coaching legs.
''We're all different,'' Popovich said. ''He'll do it with a lot more class than I do it. If I get angry, it shows up on a sleeve...But he in that sense is a lot classier and lot more mature. And I think over time that will serve him really well.
''I have to be who I am and he has to be who he is. But he's a much more calm individual. Now, he will get miffed from time to time and they will test his patience from time to time, like any time would and he'll be as direct as he needs to be.''
The good news for Vaughn is that he seems to have a group that is primed to embrace the remaking of the Magic.
Vaughn has promised an up-tempo, free-willing approach to his offense and merit-based system for playing time that has piqued everyone's interests.
That is particularly true for an upward trajectory player like Afflalo, who will have a role with the Magic that could allow him to raise his profile like he never really had the opportunity to do in Detroit or Denver.
His outputs, most notably his scoring, have improved each of his five seasons in the league. Though he shuns any talk of being able to be a first-time all-star, he says he's ready to be counted on.
''I want to be a versatile player for this team,'' Afflalo said. ''To be able to score, to defend, to mentor. Whatever the coach needs, if I can enable this team to be successful, I want to be able to do it.''
Davis said no one in the locker room is thinking about who isn't in it anymore.
''The only all-star in here is Jameer. So, for us to be successful we're gonna have to use each other,'' he said. ''We're gonna have to play basketball. And that is making sure we execute whatever coach wants us to do...The mentality that (Vaughn) has us playing, he's telling us to play free, with the right mindset and great spirit...That's what it's about and what we have to do to be successful.''

Great stay, obnoxious review processByAyChihuahua 28 enero 2015 I was giving this hotel great reviews for the courtesy of the staff, the great dining experience, and the comfort of the room. All that still holds, but the customer satisfaction review has taken me far more time than I wanted to spend on it. Ver más

Awesome Staff!!!Bypal59 27 enero 2015 We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Tampa Westshore last year before our cruise and returned again this year because of the wonderful staff. From the front desk people to the shuttle driver, we were well taken care of. It is such a plus to be transported not only from the airport, but around the local area as well. The room was fine, but a bit worn. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, it suited our needs just fine for an overnight stay before leaving on our cruise. I would highly recommend this hotel for their great people and customer service. Ver más

Third Floor Cabana SuiteByRick G. 27 enero 2015 The Cabana Suites is a wing of the hotel that sticks out from the back of the newer part of the hotel. This wing appears to be an older existing "Motel" that was kept in service and remained as part of the newer hotel that was constructed in front of the old structure. I has open exterior walkways and overlooks the large pool. The great part of the structure is that "motels" that once had rooms on both sides of the building have had the divider in the middle removed. Now each room has the space normally used for two rooms. My room had a living room with a huge leather sectional, a club chair, a large TV and entertainment center.... a desk area with all the hook ups for your laptop, along with USB outlets for charging phones & tablets. There was a wet bar, with a enclosed refrigerator and microwave. Ver más

St. Faith Comments
The maiden named Faith (in Latin, Fides), one of the virgin martyrs to suffer under the ancient Roman persecutions, was a very popular saint in medieval Europe, with miracles reported at her shrine in Conques, France. She is believed to have suffered martyrdom at Agen, Gaul (France) in the third century, but the specifics of her death are available only from much later texts of dubious historical validity. Nonetheless, these texts may contain at ... Continue Reading

Drying Laundry Indoors Bad for Health
* Text Courtesy IANS
*Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images
(IANS) Drying clothes indoors could cause health problems, particularly to those prone to asthma, hay fever and other allergies, say researchers.
A study found many homes in Britain had too much moisture indoors and up to 30 percent of this was caused by laundry, the Daily Mail reported Friday.
The researchers said three-quarters of homes surveyed had moisture levels that could lead to dust mite growth and were at risk of increased concentration of mould spores.
The reduction in air quality has been tied to asthma and other allergic conditions.
The researchers are now calling for the return of communal drying areas to try and alleviate the problem.

Featured news
This month also marks the 10-year anniversary of the Patch Tuesday program, which Microsoft started in October of 2003. Over the past decade, it has become a model implementation of a patch program in both outreach to vulnerability submitters and predictability for IT administrators, who have been dealing with the increasing number of patches for their computer infrastructures. The team at Microsoft is professional and a pleasure to work with when we have implementation questions or need background information on mitigation possibilities.
Nevertheless, Microsoft has had a turbulent two weeks since their security advisory KB2887507, which detailed CVE-2013-3893, a 0-day vulnerability in Internet Explorer that was being used for targeted attacks in Asia. Since then, we have seen research that links the exploit to malware as early as August. There also have been reports of the exploit starting to be used in a more widespread manner by other cybercriminal groups, and its release as a Metasploit module just this week. A workaround (Fix-It) has been available since September 17.
But this situation is now resolved: Bulletin #1 is for Internet Explorer and addresses the recent 0-day. This is certainly the top-priority patch for next week and it affects all versions of Internet Explorer from 6 to 11. Fortunately, attack volume using this vulnerability has continued to be low and this has given Microsoft the opportunity to do a full test cycle on all possible combinations of operating systems and target sites.
Bulletin #2, #3 and #4 are all critical and address flaws in the Windows operating systems starting at Windows XP and including Windows 8 and Windows RT.
Bulletins #6 and #7 address important vulnerabilities in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. Both seem to be file-format vulnerabilities that provide remote code execution when a file is opened. They should be high on your list of patches as attackers frequently use these vulnerabilities in attachments to well written e-mails that often get opened by the addressed parties.
Bulletin #5 addresses an important vulnerability in Windows Sharepoint Server and will be important, especially if you expose Sharepoint on the Internet.
Bulletin #8 addresses an information disclosure vulnerability in SIlverlight and is the least urgent of the eight patches.
Adobe is releasing a new version of Adobe Reader XI and Acrobat XI running under Windows that addresses a critical vulnerability. As far as they know, the vulnerability is not being used in the wild for any attacks.

Jared Petersen and Titus 2:11 Continue to Ride a Wave of Grand Prix Wins at HITS Ocala
RELEASE: March 2, 2013
AUTHOR/ADMINISTRATOR: HITS Communications
Jared Petersen and Titus 2:11 have been unstoppable the last few weeks at HITS Ocala. After two $50,000 grand prix wins in a row, the pair rode to victory in the $25,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, presented by Zoetis (ESI Photography)
Ocala, FL
- Jared Petersen and his father, Derek, were walking on air yesterday afternoon. Their excitement not only stemmed from the fact that Jared had just piloted Titus 2:11 to a win in the $25,000 SmartPak Grand Prix, presented by Zoetis, but also because it was his third grand prix win of the winter season.
"I'm hoping that I don't wake up anytime soon," said Derek just moments after claiming the winner's prizes with his son. "This horse just keeps surprising us and I hope we can keep this up."
Jared, who hails from Archer, Florida, has been riding Titus 2:11 for about a year and a half, but their meeting was not a fairytale– it was more of an accident turned perfect partnership. According to his father, Jared's mount, now a nine-year-old Holsteiner gelding, was a "sweeten the deal" horse added onto the purchase of Derek's Via Dolorosa in Germany in 2011. "He was seven, green and we thought he would just be a nice trade horse," Derek admitted.
Petersen admits that he was not expecting his son would find such success so soon with Titus 2:11. After riding to a few clears in small grand prix at the end of last season, Petersen was planning to have Jared ride in a few of the Thursday grand prix and some of the high amateur jumper classics on Sundays in Ocala. "Apparently this horse doesn't care how high the jumps are," he said. "He has figured this whole thing out pretty well and we are going to let him keep going until he shows us that he needs to rest."
Jared and Titus 2:11 were one of eight to go clear over a course designed by Dave Ballard of Tottenham, Ontario, which included 12 obstacles and 15 jumping efforts.
"The first round had a lot of good lines for us," said Petersen. "There were a few opportunities to leave strides out and he [Titus 2:11] is really good at that."
Last to ride in the jump-off, Petersen had only one clear round to beat. David Beisel of Goshen, Ohio, ahd gone first in the jump-off and set an early Great American Time To Beat of 33.65 seconds. Beisel, riding Equine Holdings, LLC's Ammeretto remained in the top spot until Petersen's trip, despite six other attempts to unseat him. Four riders found trouble jumping into the double combination at the end of the course: Lisa Goldman of Hawthorn Woods, Illinois; Jordan Coyne of New Port Richey, Florida; James Gillam of North Hatley, Quebec; and Erin Haas of Ann Arbor, Michigan. Mary Lisa Leffler of Brookeville, Maryland had an unlucky rail at the first fence for four faults and Tracy Fenney of Flower Mound, Texas suffered a rail at the last fence.
"My only strategy was to catch David [Beisel]," Petersen said after posting the final and winning trip of the day in 32.91 seconds. "I'm still in shock that everything is working out like this, and I'm thankful to God everyday that I am able to ride this horse."
Fenney picked up third aboard one of her two mounts for the day, MTM Farm's MTM Centano, while Lisa Goldman and Mary Goldman's Centurion B were fourth. Jordan Coyne, was fifth with her own Lazaro. Grand prix competition will continue at HITS Ocala as Sunday offers the $50,000 Purina Animal Nutrition Grand Prix, presented by Zoetis – another opportunity to qualify for the Zoetis $1 Million Grand Prix, which will return to HITS Championship Weekend this fall at HITS-on-the-Hudson in Saugerties, New York.
$2,500 Brook Ledge Open Welcome
Tracy Fenney found success earlier in the week as well with a win in the $2,500 Brook Ledge Open Welcome over a 1.40m course. She rode MTM Farm's MTM Southern Grace to the blue.
Kyle Timm of Apex, North Carolina was second aboard Apex Equestrian Center's PM Jollywood, and Frank Hendriks of Carleton Place, Ontario finished third with his own Domar. Capping the top five was Hunter Holloway of Topeka, Kansas in the irons of Hays Investment Corp.'s Yolo, and Robin Fairclough of Newton, New Jersey with James Fairclough's Veerle.
Brook Ledge Horse Transportation will continue to present a weekly jumper class throughout the three weeks remaining in the circuit. Aside from the winner's purse, Brook Ledge Open Welcome riders also compete for the Brook Ledge Rider Bonus, which includes a $1,500 shipping credit for the rider who accumulates the most points in those classes throughout the HITS Ocala circuit.

Recent Anchorage reviews
"We stayed at Jill's rental for a week. It was a comfortable home away from home while we were in town to run the Mayor's midnight sun marathon. We had 5 adults in our party and found the rental spacious for all of us. The house was conveniently location for the marathon as well as for a central base for day trips from Anchorage. Only negative was short showers to have enough hot water for all 5 of us. We started to stagger times in the shower and that worked out fine. Jill greeted us at the rental and gave us goid recommendations for dinner and places to see. She startex our stay out nicely. I Would stay there again if I find myself in Anchorage again. Thanks Jill."
"I rented this condo while in Anchorage working for the Department of Health. We found the condo to be a perfect fit for our group. We had more than ample space to work, with all the comforts of home. We enjoyed the location as we were no more than 10 minutes from any part of the city we need to be at. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed and the condo was nicely decorate. We had only 1 small issue in locating the wireless pass code, 1 phone call and the issue was resolved in 30 second! We found the owners extremely pleasant and eager to make our time in Anchorage all that it could be. We will look for this house again when in Anchorage!"
"This was the perfect place for our sister's vacation reunion. The house was spotless and very well stocked with everything we needed. It was so fun to sit outside by the firepit (even when it was raining and misty). Carson was an excellent host and we hope to see him again when we have another reunion in Anchorage."

Mischa is back with another present for all of our members. This time around she decided she will do anal. Her ass was worshiped, praised and venerated for a very long time. Even before we got to all the ass adoration, she teased us with her titan tush by dipping it into the jacuzzi like some enormous ass tea bag. Dripping wet, she walked up the steps to the bedroom ever so slowly letting every little drop ease down her robust rump and down her legs. Her juicy caboose just glistened in the afternoon light. She took a pounding and swallowed every last drop of cum. This is a perfect 10 update!

JOHOR BARU: The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) will look into the expenses of another four ministries soon.
It would start next week with the ministries of Federal Territories and Urban Wellbeing, PAC chairman Datuk Nur Jazlan Mohamed said.
This will be followed by the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (Finas) under the Communications and Multimedia Ministry.
"Next month, the PAC will examine the Education Ministry again on expenses spent on school security as well as the police force on their asset management where we will focus on the loss of weapons issue," he said during the Thaipusam celebrations at the Sri Subramaniam temple in Jalan Kolam Air here yesterday.
On a separate matter, the Pulai MP said he hoped that Malaysians would not get distracted by their differences but embrace them instead.
"Malaysia is a democratic and multicultural society. We should not cross the line of other people's religion, and learn to show respect to each other," he said.
He added that leaders should take time to visit the different places of worship, especially during festivals such as Thaipusam, so that they could observe for themselves the rituals and practices of other devotees.

I really enjoy staying at Residence Inns when I travel because of the full kitchen and room to spread out a bit. Some are better than others. This one had everything I needed. First, they provide a free shuttle from BWI which saved money and time. Second, they are 1/4 mile (tops) from the Arundel Mills Mall (a huge mall) which gave me a place to shop, go to the movies, and eat. Third, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Fourth, they had a separate sitting area in the foyer to just relax in. Fifth, they had a full breakfast complete with a healthy option of turkey Canadian bacon, Sixth, they had the other Residence Inn usuals gym, pool, hot tub, laundry, etc. Seventh, they had a pool table. No one has a pool table! They also had an indoor/outdoor fireplace with seating to warm up and just relax. I'll be back.
