Exercise Intensity Matters in Chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain Rehabilitation,Introduction Exercise therapy (ET) is advocated as a treatment for chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNSLBP). However, therapy effect sizes remain low. In other chronic disorders, training at higher intensity has resulted in greater improvements on both general health related and disease specific outcomes compared to lower intensity ET. Possibly, high intensity training also improves effect sizes in CNSLBP. Objective...

Generic Attacks on Hash CombinersAbstractHash combiners are a practical way to make cryptographic hash functions more tolerant to future attacks and compatible with existing infrastructure. A combiner combines two or more hash functions in a way that is hopefully more secure than each of the underlying hash functions, or at least remains secure as long as one of them is secure. Two classical hash combiners are the exclusive-or (XOR) combiner \( \mathcal {H}_1(M) \oplus \mathcal {H}_2(M) \) and the...

Pathological Gambling Associated With Aripiprazole Objectives Pathological gambling can be potentiated by treatment with dopamine agonists. Aripiprazole, bearing a partial agonist activity at dopamine D2 and D3 receptors, has also been linked to such a behavioral aberration, usually on subjects predisposed with tendency of impulsive or addictive behaviors. Methods Review of patient's medical records and literature review. Results Two young patients' pathological gambling emerged simply due to...
Sertraline-Related Amenorrhea in an Adolescent Amenorrhea is one of the clinical consequences of hyperprolactinemia. Although symptomatic hyperprolactinemia is among the well-described adverse reactions of antipsychotic agents, it may also be reported with the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Hereby, we present a case of sertraline-related hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea in an adolescent. Amenorrhea occurred 2 months after starting sertraline, and menstrual cycle restored after stopping...
Levetiracetam-Related Mania-Like Symptoms: An Adolescent CaseLevetiracetam is an antiepileptic agent that is used for partial and generalized epilepsy. Although it is well tolerated in most cases, behavioral and nonbehavioral adverse effects may be observed. Among behavioral symptoms, depression, hostility, and agitation have been frequently reported. However, mania or mania-like symptoms are relatively rare, especially in children and adolescents. Hereby, we report mania-like symptoms with levetiracetam...
Drug-Induced Parkinsonism Manifesting as Gait Freezing in a Patient With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Case ReportBackground Among the neuropsychiatric complications commonly induced by traumatic brain injury (TBI), behavioral disorders, such as agitation and aggression, can hinder neurological recovery and deteriorate rehabilitation outcomes.

Microbial EcologyTaurine Is a Major Carbon and Energy Source for Marine Prokaryotes in the North Atlantic Ocean off the Iberian PeninsulaAbstractTaurine, an amino acid-like compound, acts as an osmostress protectant in many marine metazoans and algae and is released via various processes into the oceanic dissolved organic matter pool. Taurine transporters are widespread among members of the marine prokaryotic community, tentatively indicating that taurine might be an important substrate for prokaryotes...
