Preliminary findings support the potential of yoga as a complementary treatment depressed patients who are taking anti-depressant medications but only in partial remission. The purpose this article is to present further data on intervention, focusing individual differences psychological, emotional and biological processes affecting outcome. Twenty-seven women 10 men were enrolled study, whom 17 completed intervention pre- post-intervention assessment data. consisted 20 classes led by senior...
Operant conditioning-feedback techniques were employed to lower systolic blood pressure in seven patients with essential hypertension. In five of the patients, meaningful decreases obtained laboratory, ranging from 16 34 millimeters mercury. The therapeutic value such remains be established.
An automatic procedure providing information about human systolic blood pressure at each successive heartbeat under routine laboratory conditions is described. Twenty normal male subjects were given feedback of their own pressure, half operantly reinforced for increasing and decreasing pressure. Significant differences in obtained a single session. The apparatus results suggest possible approach to the treatment essential hypertension.
Abstract Blood pressure is one of the most commonly recorded functions in physiology and medicine, it has become a major variable recent psychophysiological behavioral medicine research. Many methods have been developed for measurement blood clinical, laboratory, natural settings. The broad objectives this report are to summarize critical methodological issues present principles recommendations evaluation findings published studies.
Human heart rate-systolic blood pressure decoupling was tested by operant conditioning procedures. Twenty normal male subjects were given feedback of their rate, half operantly reinforced for increasing and decreasing while systolic continuously monitored. Significant rate obtained in a single session without concomitant effects on pressure. Further analyses the best conditioners present study those previous indicate strength rate-blood demonstrate that instrumental fractionation closely...
This study investigated the voluntary control of penile tumescence in absence external erotic stimulation. Twelve experimental subjects were given analogue visual feedback and monetary rewards for increase diameter as measured by a strain gauge. no noncontingent but same instructions to maximize erections. While both groups capable tumescence, significantly improved performance was observed group. Two distinct psychophysiological patterns observed. A "tension" pattern associated with marked...
ABSTRACT When provided with external feedback of their diastolic blood pressure and incentives to respond appropriately, normal male Ss learned raise or lower in a 35‐min training session. The difference between increase decrease groups at the end conditioning was 7.0 mm Hg 10% baseline. This augmented 10.4 15% baseline during extinction when half were asked maintain continuing “voluntary control” even though withdrawn. Heart rate also influenced reinforced, although less markedly. Further...
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare autoimmune bile duct disease that strongly associated with immune-mediated disorders. In this study, we implemented multitrait joint analyses to genome-wide association summary statistics of PSC and numerous clinical epidemiological traits estimate the genetic contribution each trait correlations between identify new lead risk-associated loci. We identified seven loci have not been previously reported one independent variant in locus. Functional...
Objective: To determine if initial values of casual and ambulatory systolic blood pressure (SBP) predict white matter hyperintensities, insular subcortex brain atrophy 5 years later in a group healthy elderly individuals. Methods: The authors studied 155 men women, aged 55 to 79 years. Two 24-hour (BP) sessions assessed BP level variability during waking sleep. Hyperintensities total volume were quantified by MRI. Procedures repeated 78% (121) subjects. Results: increased over time, with...
Background and Purpose —The relationship between blood pressure (BP) heart rate (HR) MRI assessments of subcortical T2 hyperintensities was evaluated in healthy elderly men women. Methods —Casual 24-hour ambulatory BPs HR measurements were taken 144 individuals, aged 55 to 79 years. Subjects had no evidence previous health disorders. scans white matter, gray insular subcortex coded for severity hyperintensities. Results —Mean casual BP the group 120/72 mm Hg. With age sex accounted for,...
Rumination has been suggested to mediate the physiological consequences of stress on health. We studied effects rumination evoked in laboratory and subsequent changes over 24 h. Heart rate (HR) systolic diastolic blood pressure (SBP, DBP) were monitored 27 male 33 female participants during baseline, reading, an anger recall interview, recovery. Half sample was assigned a distraction condition. The lab session followed by 24-hour ambulatory (A)HR BP recording self-reports moods rumination....
An automated constant cuff-pressure system to remotely determine average human blood pressure levels was developed overcome problems in measurement caused by natural beat-to-beat fluctuations arterial pressure.
Abstract In this study, we examined the combined effects of anger/hostility and defensiveness on reactivity to three stressors (math, handgrip, cold pressor) how these are moderated by gender family history hypertension. The subjects were 209 college students. Low compared with high Spielberger anger‐out scores associated greater diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in low‐but not high‐defensive women a negative history. High low hostility heart rate low‐defensive men an opposite effect men....
Objectives To investigate the impact of cigarette smoking and oral contraceptive (OC) use on hemodynamic stress responses women. Also, to examine gender differences in reactivity as a function status acute nicotine administration. Methods: Thirty men 46 women, differing OC use, were tested for cardiovascular variety behavioral physical stressors. Each was twice, once under transdermal patch condition placebo condition. Impedance cardiography used estimate noninvasively. Results: In response...

In previous research, it has been shown that subjects can learn to increase or decrease their systolic blood pressure without corresponding changes in heart rate, they rate pressure. The present paper outlines a method for directly conditioning combination of two autonomic responses. A system was developed which, at each cycle, determines on line whether and are integrated (both increasing both decreasing) differentiated (one one decreasing). To test this method, 5 received brief light tone...
To pool data from individual subjects in an attempt to determine operational threshold for making clinical decisions based on the self-recorded blood pressure (SRBP) and examine how many hypertensive subjects, diagnosed by conventional (CBP) measurement, would have a within normotensive range if proposed thresholds were applied.Thirteen research groups studied 4668 untreated subjects.In total 2401 normotensive, 494 borderline 1773 definitely hypertensive. Hypertension had been mean of 1-6...
