Neuroimaging evidence implies that cognitive impairment in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is related to the disruption of the default-mode network (DMN). The DMN can be divided into three functionally independent subsystems, which include the cortical hub subsystem [consisting of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and the anterior medial prefrontal cortex (aMPFC)], the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex (dMPFC) subsystem, and the medial temporal lobe (MTL) subsystem. However, it is unknown how the functional connectivity (FC) in DMN subsystems is differentially impaired in ESRD. This prospective study was carried out at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University, China, between August 2018 and July 2020. Thirty-two ESRD patients and forty-five healthy controls (HCs) were recruited for this study and received resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) scanning, and FCs on predefined regions of interest (ROIs) were individually calculated in three DMN subsystems using both ROI- and seed-based FC analyses to examine FC alterations within and between DMN subsystems. The two-sample t-test was used for the comparisons between groups. We also tested the associations between FC changes and clinical information using Pearson's correlation analysis. The results demonstrated that ESRD patients, compared with HCs, exhibit reduced FC specifically within the cortical hubs and between the DMN hubs and two subsystems (the dMPFC and MTL subsystems). Moreover, the FC values between the aMPFC and PCC were positively correlated with creatinine and urea levels in the ESRD patients. Our results suggest that the cortical hubs (PCC and aMPFC) are preferentially disrupted and that other subsystems may be progressively damaged to a certain degree as the disease develops.Objective This study aimed to review the research status and to demonstrate the hot spots and frontiers of epilepsy and circadian rhythm via CiteSpace. Method We searched Web of Science (WoS) for studies related to epilepsy and circadian rhythm from inception to 2020. CiteSpace was used to generate network maps about the collaborations between authors, countries, and institutions and reveal hot spots and frontiers of epilepsy and circadian rhythm. Results A total of 704 studies related to epilepsy and circadian rhythm from the WoS were retrieved. Sanchez-Vazquez FJ was the most prolific author (17 articles). The USA and University of Murcia were the leading country and institution in this field with 219 and 22 publications, respectively. There were active collaborations among the authors, countries, and institutions. Hot topics focused on the interaction between epilepsy and circadian rhythm, as well as possible novel treatments. Conclusions Based on the results of CiteSpace, the current study suggested active cooperation between authors, countries, and institutions. Major ongoing research trends include the circadian rhythm of epilepsy based on different epileptic focus and the interaction between epilepsy and circadian rhythm, especially through melatonin, sleep-wake cycles, and clock genes, which may implicate possible treatments (such as chronotherapy, neural stem cells transplantation) for epilepsy in the future.[This corrects the article DOI 10.3389/fpsyg.2020.02038.].Intensive care settings place specific work-related demands on health care professionals that may elicit stress and negatively influence occupational health and work engagement. Psychological flexibility has emerged as a promising construct that could help explain variation in reported health. Understanding the role of psychological flexibility in occupational psychological health among intensive care medical staff may potentially guide the development of effective interventions. Thus, the present study evaluated the relationships between psychological flexibility (Work-related Acceptance and Action Questionnaire), distress (Perceived Stress Scale, General Health Questionnaire) and work engagement (Utrecht Work Engagement Scale) in a sample of 144 health care professionals from one adult (ICU, N = 98) and one pediatric (PICU, N = 46) intensive care unit. In addition to cross-sectional analyses, a subset of data (PICU, N = 46) was analyzed using a longitudinal design. Results illustrated that higher levels of distress were associated with lower levels of work engagement. Furthermore, psychological flexibility was related to greater work engagement, and psychological flexibility had a significant indirect effect on the relationship between distress and work engagement. Lastly, increased psychological flexibility over time corresponded with increased work engagement. Although tentative, the results suggest the importance of psychological flexibility for work engagement in health care professionals within intensive care settings.In recent years, social application with shopping has become an indispensable activity in people's daily lives. A number of previous studies have investigated various risks in online shopping and consumer's belief. However, few scholars paid more attention to buying behavior, especially on consumer's cross-platform buying behavior. Although consumers can purchase goods directly in platforms that have given them information, they also buy target products on other platforms. This study conceptualizes and implements concepts such as perceived risk, trust, negative reports, and consumer cross-platform buying behavior. selleck inhibitor A questionnaire survey of users (n = 366) was conducted, and a basic description and comparison of consumers' cross-platform buying behavior were made in terms of consumers' perception of the risk of product effects, consumers' perception of service risks, and consumers' perceptions of other risks. The degree of trust in the platform and negative reports about the platform also affect cross-platform buying behavior. As a result, these findings are discussed and explained, and some reference is provided for related platforms. Besides, the study's finding concerning consumer's buying behavior depends on the security of platform in people's conceptions.This study is part of a larger exploration of 'talk and cure' that combines the examination of talk-in-interaction with nonverbal displays and measurements of the client's and therapist's autonomic arousal during therapy sessions. A key assumption of the study is that psychotherapy entails processes of intersubjective meaning-making that occur across different modalities and take place in both verbal/explicit and nonverbal/implicit domains. A single session of a psychodynamic psychotherapy is analyzed with a focus on the expression and management of affect, with an aim to describe key interactive events that promote change in both semantic and procedural domains. The clinical dialog is analyzed discursively, with a focus on the conversational processes through which new meanings are jointly constructed and affective states shared; detailed attention is paid to nonverbal displays of affiliation and affect. Furthermore, we explore whether the interactional patterns implicated in joint meaning-making, as revealed by analyzing the therapeutic conversation, have correlates in the autonomic arousal of the two protagonists, as reflected in their heart rates.
