The effect of the presence a friendly animal on children's blood pressures and heart rates while resting their cardiovascular responses to verbalization were examined. dog resulted in lower both children (N = 38) they reading. was greater when present initially than it introduced second half experiment. We speculate that causes modify perceptions experimental situation experimenter by making less threatening more friendly. This study provides insight into use pets as adjuncts psychotherapy.
The use of a recently developed noninvasive automated blood-pressure device has revealed striking relationship between human communication and elevations in blood pressure both normotensive hypertensive individuals. Individuals with higher resting baseline pressures tended to show greater increases during talking than did those lower pressures. In some individuals 25-40% occurred within 30 sec after the initiation speech. Links difficulties surrounding are discussed.
An anatomic surface osteometric analysis of cadaveric cervical spines.To assess the feasibility placing a 3.5-mm cortical screw in lateral mass C1 large number specimens for purpose gaining internal fixation various conditions.Previous studies have addressed dimensions atlas vertebra and computerized tomography-measured masses atlas. These used limited with potentially homogeneous origins.A total 120 (C1) vertebrae 240 were examined external measurements obtained to mass.The minimum found...
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is a common, dose-limiting side effect of cancer chemotherapeutic agents, including the vinca alkaloids such as vincristine. The resulting symptoms, which frequently include moderate to severe pain, can often be disabling. current study utilized vincristine-induced neuropathic pain animal model [Pain 93 (2001) 69], in rats were surgically implanted with mini-osmotic pumps set deliver vincristine sulfate (30 microg kg(-1)day(-1), i.v.), examine time...
Apomorphine, a nonselective dopamine receptor agonist, facilitates penile erection and is effective in patients suffering from erectile dysfunction. The specific subtype(s) responsible for its erectogenic effect not known. Here we report that the D 4 plays role regulation of function. ABT-724 selective agonist activates human receptors with an EC 50 12.4 nM 61% efficacy, no on 1 , 2 3 or 5 receptors. dose-dependently when given s.c. to conscious rats, blocked by haloperidol clozapine but...
The recent attention given to the feedback control of human brain wave activity and implications such prompts a careful analysis this phenomenon. Particular emphasis is placed on learned alpha rhythm. A review possible factors which might influence density rhythms led differentiation three general sources influence: constitutional, physiological, cognitive-attentional factors. Each these discussed as mediator view advanced that increases in during training arise from diminution those block...
A series of studies were conducted to explore various factors that might be involved in the biofeedback control human alpha rhythm. Subjects given either auditory or visual feedback regarding occurrence activity their electroencephalographic record. Additional subjects run as a noncontingent group. Significant linear increases density across trials observed all feedback, including Auditory on other hand, did not lead significant trials, and levels approached, but exceed initial...
Adenosine kinase (AK; EC 2.7.1.20) is a key intracellular enzyme regulating intra-and extracellular concentrations of adenosine (ADO), an endogenous neuromodulator, antinociceptive, and anti-inflammatory autocoid. AK inhibition provides means potentiating local tissue ADO, inhibitors may have therapeutic potential as analgesic agents. The effects ABT-702, novel, potent (IC(50) = 1.7 nM), selective non-nucleoside inhibitor were examined in rat models nociception acute inflammation. ABT-702...

Object. In a nondestructive, repeated-measures in vitro flexibility experiment, the authors compared acute stability of C1–2 after placement C-1 lateral mass and C-2 pars interarticularis (LC1—PC2) instrumentation with that transarticular screw fixation. Methods. The effect laminectomy interspinous cable/graft fixation on LC1—PC2 was studied. Screw pullout strengths were also compared. Seven human cadaveric occiput—C3 specimens loaded nondestructively pure moments while measuring...
OBJECTIVE: This study retrospectively compares the incidence of venous air embolism(VAE) detection and morbidity in sitting supine positions. All patients underwent vestibular schwannoma resection via retrosigmoid approach by a single surgical team. METHODS: A total 432 consecutive operations were reviewed, 222 which performed with position 210 position. Charts reviewed for evidence intraoperative VAE, hypotension secondary to postoperative related other variables compare groups. RESULTS:...
Abstract OBJECTIVE The treatment of intracranial mixed germ cell tumors presents a unique challenge, since eradication malignant tumor by radiation and/or chemotherapy may spare the benign component. We reviewed our surgical experience with residual pineal after neoadjuvant therapy. METHODS Between 1987 and 1997, 16 patients were treated at Mayo Clinic protocol After diagnosis was confirmed histopathological examination, all four cycles etoposide cisplatin as well external beam therapy...
