Cigarette smoking leads to persistent and dose-dependent alterations of brain activity and connectivity in anterior insula and anterior cingulate

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Kirsten Emmert, Rotem Roza Kopel

Although many smokers try to quit smoking, only about 20-25 percent will achieve abstinence despite 6 months or more of gold-standard treatment. This low success rate suggests long-term changes in the brain related to smoking, which remain poorly understoo ...

Does chronic nicotine consumption influence visual backward masking in schizophrenia and schizotypy?

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Maya Roinishvili, Guillaume Sierro

Nicotine consumption is higher for people within the schizophrenia spectrum compared to controls. This observation supports the self-medication hypothesis, that nicotine relives symptoms in, for example, schizophrenia patients. We tested whether performanc ...

Visual backward masking deficits in schizotypy are observed in late but not early onset nicotine smokers

Michael Herzog, Christine Mohr, Guillaume Sierro, Géraldine Beaud

Visual backward masking (VBM) is a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. Relative VBM deficits were also observed in high as compared to low scorers in one schizotypal subdimension (cognitive disorganisation, CogDis; Cappe et al., 2012). VBM deficits ...

Small effects of smoking on visual spatiotemporal processing

Michael Herzog

Nicotine is an important stimulant that is involved in modulating many neuronal processes, including those related to vision. Nicotine is also thought to play a key role in schizophrenia: A genetic variation of the cholinergic nicotine receptor gene, alpha ...

Controlling specific locomotor behaviors through multidimensional monoaminergic modulation of spinal circuitries

Grégoire Courtine, Pavel Musienko, Rubia van den Brand

Descending monoaminergic inputs markedly influence spinal locomotor circuits, but the functional relationships between specific receptors and the control of walking behavior remain poorly understood. To identify these interactions, we manipulated serotoner ...

Fetal-juvenile origins of point mutations in the adult human tracheal-bronchial epithelium: Absence of detectable effects of age, gender or smoking status

Stephan Morgenthaler, Per Olaf Ekstrom

Allele-specific mismatch amplification mutation assays (MAMA) of anatomically distinct sectors of the upper bronchial tracts of nine nonsmokers revealed many numerically dispersed clusters of the point mutations C742T, G746T, G747T of the TP53 gene, G35T o ...

Ion implantation in Ni-Ti shape memory alloy thin films

The present thesis focuses on the effect of 5 MeV Ni ion irradiation on the microstructure and the thermomechanical behavior in prestrained (ε∼4%) martensitic Ti-rich NiTi thin films. At this ion energy, damage is limited to a depth of approximately 2 µm ( ...

Irradiation-induced phase transformation in undeformed and deformed NiTi shape memory thin films by high-energy ion beams

Irradiation-induced transformations in sputter-deposited Ti-rich NiTi thin films have been investigated with special attention given to the effects of prior deformation on the response of martensite phase. Irradiation at low fluence was carried out at room ...

The inherited association of interstitial lung disease, hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, and defective granulocyte function

Johan Auwerx

The history and pulmonary histopathology of 3 siblings, presenting with the association of idiopathic interstitial lung disease, hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, and an intrinsic defect in granulocyte function are described. Prospective examination of 40 famil ...

Coexistence of hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia and interstitial lung disease in a family: a cross-sectional study

Johan Auwerx

In a prospective investigation, a large kindred (twenty-one subjects) with unexplained association of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia and idiopathic interstitial lung disease was studied. Serum calcium was increased in fifteen patients (the youngest ...
