Clinically effective drugs against human anxiety and fear systematically alter the innate defensive behavior of rodents, suggesting that in humans these emotions reflect adaptations. Compelling experimental evidence for this theory is yet to be obtained. We report clearest test date by investigating effects 1 2 mg anti-anxiety drug lorazepam on intensity threat-avoidance 40 healthy adult volunteers (20 females). found modulated participants' a dose-dependent manner. However, pattern depended...
Abstract Anemia is observed in 30% of pregnancies with pyelonephritis, yet little known about the underlying etiology. Erythropoietin (EPO) renally produced response to hypoxic and inflammatory conditions. Changes serum EPO have been demonstrated infectious conditions nonpregnant population. levels measured healthy pregnancy cohorts, but patterns setting renal inflammation. Our primary objective was compare pregnant patients at diagnosis acute pyelonephritis established trimester-specific...
Neuroimaging data suggest that emotional brain systems are more strongly engaged by moral dilemmas in which innocent people directly harmed than harm is remotely inflicted. In order to test the possibility this engagement involves anxiety, we investigated effects of 1 mg and 2 anti-anxiety drug lorazepam on response choices 40 healthy volunteers (20 male) moral-personal, moral-impersonal, nonmoral dilemmas. We found caused a dose-dependent increase participants' willingness endorse responses...
Abstract Objective Group B Streptococcus (GBS) colonization of the lower urinary tract in pregnancy is associated with severe infections such as chorioamnionitis, endometritis, and pyelonephritis. The objective this study was to compare rates progression pyelonephritis between GBS Escherichia coli (LUTIs), well infectious obstetric morbidity secondary these pathogens. Study Design Retrospective cohort pregnant women LUTIs (asymptomatic bacteria or acute cystitis [AC]) from a single health...
Abstract The non-competitive N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist ketamine leads to transient psychosis-like symptoms and impairments in oculomotor performance healthy volunteers. This study examined whether the adverse effects of on can be reversed by atypical antipsychotic risperidone. In this randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 72 participants performed smooth pursuit eye movements (SPEM), prosaccades (PS) antisaccades (AS) while being randomly assigned one four drug...
Nursing home patients are often frail and have a number of chronic conditions. Increased risk critical events, hospitalisations death indicates the need for dialogue with their next kin about future, how to agree on sound decisions what should happen if patient’s health condition deteriorates. Previous studies shown that only minority nursing homes practise this type advance care planning.In early summer 2014, questionnaire was sent all Norwegian homes, containing questions prevalence...
A case control design was used to examine quality of life and self-care management strategies in persons living with AIDS (PLWAs) chronic diarrhea. PLWAs without diarrhea (n = 20) as compared those reported significantly higher general health perceptions (p .028). In contrast, comparisons on symptom status scores revealed that greater fatigue .05), psychological distress .005), gastrointestinal discomfort .01). Although the intensity moderate severe by 85% sample, no single category more...
Abstract Objective Outside pregnancy, nitrofurantoin, ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMZ-TMP) are first-line therapy (FLT) for lower urinary tract infections (LUTIs). Optimal antibiotics LUTI have been extrapolated based on expert opinion. Progression to pyelonephritis adverse obstetric outcomes were compared between women who received FLT those given alternative antibiotics. Methods This study includes a retrospective cohort of with LUTI, including asymptomatic bacteriuria...
Objective Weekly 17-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17OHP-C) from 16 to 36 weeks' gestation reduces the risk of recurrent spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). Limited data suggest poor adherence published guidelines. This study aimed identify factors associated with 17OHP-C utilization. Study Design retrospective cohort included women a singleton pregnancy who delivered within one academic health system between January 2014 and December 2015. Eligible had history ≥1 sPTB. Primary outcomes were...
Abstract Background Amniotic fluid and amnion membranes have been used in surgery specialties to improve wound healing decrease surgical adhesion formation. Objective The objective was determine if amniotic could be collected at cesarean delivery then reapplied the layers of closure using CeaLogic Specimen Collection Ratio Applicator Kit. Study Design Twenty pregnant individuals who met inclusion exclusion criteria were enrolled. artificial rupture collection kit. Autologous transferred...
This study aims to explore vaccination acceptance among individuals with a history of preterm birth between March and June during the pre-COVID (2019), early-COVID (2020), late-COVID (2021) periods.
Major fetal anomalies (MFA) are a known risk factor for preterm birth (PTB), though the etiology of this is not well-studied, making counseling these patients difficult. Thus, we sought to describe rate recurrent PTB in second-observed pregnancy among persons with history an infant MFA first observed pregnancy, and assess difference delivery timing between first- pregnancy. This was retrospective cohort study first-observed complicated by single healthcare system 2013 2017. The primary...
