SSRIs are commonly used to treat pregnant women with depression. However, SSRIs can cross the placenta and affect the development of the fetus. The effects of perinatal SSRI exposure, and especially the effects on social behavior, are still incompletely documented. This study first aims to investigate whether rats show prosocial behavior in the form of consolation behavior. Secondly, it aims to ...

The present study addresses one of the limitations of the JD-R model, namely, that analyses of the outcomes of the motivational process have largely focused on organizational outcomes and have neglected to investigate the associations between job resources, work engagement and health-related outcomes. Specifically, the aim of this paper is to show that health-related indicators may be outcomes of ...

Formålet med denne oppgaven er å bevisstgjøre og løfte opp et tema som snakkes for lite om. Omtrent en tredel av overgrep mot barn og unge begås av andre barn og unge, og trenden ser ut til å være økende. Dette er viktig å se i sammenheng med at vi lever i en tidsalder hvor mye av barn og ungdoms sosiale liv skjer på digitale plattformer, der det er enkelt å krenke andre. Ofte er barna og ungdommene ...

<p><i>Introduction:</i> Early markers of neurodegeneration provide an opportunity to detect, monitor, and initiate interventions in individuals who have an increased risk of developing dementia. Here, we investigated whether the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is associated with early brain neurodegeneration and whether the TUG test could be a marker of cognitive decline in people with subjective cognitive ...

Individuals with physical and mental disabilities can be stigmatized and perceived in terms of their disabilities in the public domain. This is less pervasive in the private domain, because of the presence of individuating information. We argue that disabilities decrease individuals’ everyday opportunities to receive basic equality-based respect experiences in the public domain and thus makes it ...

Several studies have shown that behavioral and electrophysiological correlates of processing visual images containing low or high spatial frequency (LSF or HSF) information undergo development after early childhood. However, the maturation of spatial frequency sensitivity in school-age has been investigated using abstract stimuli only. The aim of the current study was to assess how LSF and HSF ...

<p><i>Background:</i> The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on verbal memory function in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. <p><i>Methods:</i> We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in which tDCS was applied in six 30-minute sessions for 10 days. tDCS was delivered to the left temporal cortex with 2-mA intensity. ...

Fibromyalgi er et kronisk smertesyndrom kjennetegnet av vedvarende smerter og er sett på som en stor helsemessig utfordring. Verken behandlingsmetoder eller patofysiologi er fullstendig kartlagt, men nyere forskning indikerer at sentralnervøse dysfunksjoner kan være en av årsakene til lidelsen. Transkraniell likestrømstimulering (tDCS) er en ikke-invasiv hjernestimuleringsteknikk som har vist seg ...

Mange barn og ungdom i Norge blir utsatt for vold og overgrep. Det foreligger til dels stor diskrepans mellom opplevde og rapporterte traumer innen psykisk helsevesen. Forskning har vist at hvordan behandlere kartlegger for traumehistorikk er avgjørende for hvorvidt pasienten rapporterer traumer. Fokus for denne studien var å undersøke kartleggingsrutiner for traumer i en ADHD-populasjon under ...

The prevalence of gaming disorder (GD) is assumed to be between 2% - 5%. The treatment effect of different therapeutic interventions of GD has not been studied extensively. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to identify all clinical GD-studies with a control group, determine the effect of the interventions and examine moderators. Clinical studies applying a form of therapeutic intervention ...
