Successful treatment of opioid misuse among people with chronic pain has proven elusive. Guidelines recommend nonopioid therapies, but the efficacy mindfulness-based interventions for is uncertain.
This randomized clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) among past and present U.S. military personnel with prescriptions for long-term opioid therapy chronic pain.
There have been increasing evidences that thiazolidinediones, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) agonists, may some antiatherogenic actions. We previously reported troglitazone has a potent inhibitory effect on common carotid arterial intima-media thickness (IMT) in subjects with type 2 diabetes. However, studies suggested possibility PPARγ activators protoatherogenic actions, raising concern about their detrimental effects diabetic subjects. In the present study, we...
Different views of the role consciousness (epiphenomenal, directive, intentional, and constructive) are briefly described, followed by a more general exposition constructivist position. The functions its limited capacity discussed in context. article concludes with discussion unconscious perception, some neuropsychological evidence on relationship between affect consciousness.
The objectives of the present study were to investigate autonomic nervous system influence on heart rate during physical exercise and examine relationship between fractal component in variability (HRV) system's response. Ten subjects performed incremental a cycle ergometer, consisting 5-min warm-up period followed by ramp protocol, with work increasing at 2.0 W/min until exhaustion. During exercise, alveolar gas exchange, plasma norepinephrine (NE) epinephrine (E) responses, beat-to-beat HRV...
Despite the heightened urgency of current prescription opioid crisis, few psychotherapies have been evaluated for chronic pain patients receiving long-term analgesics. Current psychological treatments focus primarily on ameliorating negative affective processes, yet basic science suggests that risk misuse is linked with a dearth positive affect. Interventions modulate processes may produce therapeutic benefits among opioid-treated pain. The aim this study was to conduct theory-driven...
This manuscript details the development of two measures nondual awareness, Nondual Awareness Dimensional Assessment-Trait (NADA-T) and Assessment-State (NADA-S).Principal component analysis (N=528) revealed two, interpretable dimensions NADA-T: self-transcendence bliss.Bifactor exploratory structural equation modeling, conducted in three independent samples (N=338, N=221, N=166), indicated that both NADA-T were components a second-order awareness construct.Convergent validity was observed...
Intracellular recordings were made from trigeminal motoneurons of normally respiring, unanesthetized cats during naturally occurring sleep. The transition quiet to active sleep was accompanied by tonic motoneuron hyperpolarization. Stimulation the reticular formation induced a depolarizing potential in and hyperpolarizing results provide synaptic explanation for phenomenon response reversal insights into basic mechanisms controlling motor activity states.
The benefits of a recommended level physical activity on physiological health indicators such as morbidity and mortality are well-accepted, but less research has addressed whether or not the association between health-related quality life (HRQOL) exists in Japanese population. Thus, present study examined would be associated with HRQOL general middle-aged Data were obtained from 1211 male female respondents (39.4 ± 10.9 year, mean SD) an Internet-based survey registrants Internet service....
