The experience of pain arises from both physiological and psychological factors, including one's beliefs expectations. Thus, placebo treatments that have no intrinsic pharmacological effects may produce analgesia by altering However, controversy exists regarding whether placebos alter sensory transmission, affect, or simply compliance with the suggestions investigators. In two functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiments, we found was related to decreased brain activity in...
Osteoarthrosis is a physiologic imbalance, "joint failure" similar to "heart failure," in which mechanical factors play role. The initiation and progression of cartilage damage are distinct phenomena. One the mechanisms may be steep stiffness gradient underlying subchondral bone. Progression lesions probably requires stiffened In such situations, transverse stresses at base articular could cause deep horizontal splits that tissue. most likely stiffening an otherwise congruent joint repeated...
Abstract Background Social environmental influences on human health are well established in the epidemiology literature, but their functional genomic mechanisms unclear. The present study analyzed genome-wide transcriptional activity people who chronically experienced high versus low levels of subjective social isolation (loneliness) to assess alterations transcription control pathways that might contribute increased adverse outcomes isolates. Results DNA microarray analysis identified 209...
We analyzed data from two national surveys to estimate the short-term work disability associated with thirty-day major depression. Depressed workers were found have between 1.5 and 3.2 more work-disability days in a period than other had, salary-equivalent productivity loss averaging $182 $395. These workplace costs are nearly as large direct of successful depression treatment, which suggests that encouraging depressed obtain treatment might be cost-effective for some employers.
The hypothesis that certain diseases might be unduly frequent in journeyman air traffic controllers working towers and centers has been tested by reviewing the aeromedical certification examinations on 4,325 8,435 second class airmen. subjects were all men who had an examination 1969 to 1970 at least one previous not more than two years before that. Quite compelling evidence adduced support with regard hypertension; peptic ulcer is moderately strong for diabetes it slight but suggestive.
Plasma testosterone, levels of fighting and verbal aggression in prison past criminal behavior were studied 21 young prisoners. In addition, several psychologic tests administered. Analysis plasma testosterone showed considerable stability an individual's values over the 2-week study period, with highly significant differences observed between individuals. did not differ nonfighting Although there correlations tests, test scales correlate either or behavior. The 10 prisoners histories more...
Four adult male rhesus monkeys were provided access individually to a group of receptive females. Each assumed dominance and engaged in frequent copulations. Plasma testosterone levels increased two- threefold during this period. Next, each was subjected sudden decisive defeat by large all-male group, plasma fell following experience. Two males later reintroduced the females, rose rapidly previous elevated levels.
Four adult male rhesus monkeys formed a new social group with 13 females. The who became dominant [alpha] showed progressive increase in plasma testosterone. subordinate to the other three males an 80% fall testosterone from baseline levels. After 7 weeks, this was introduced well-established breeding group, and all four members of group. All evidenced during first week after introduction, within 6 weeks their levels were approximately--80% pre-introduction values. alpha large [238%] 24 hr...
To simulate the forces from hopping, right foot of adult rabbits was subjected to 1 1/2 animal's body weight 40 times a minute for 20-40 minutes per day. During these brief periods repetitive impulsive loading legs were held in short-leg splints eliminate natural shock-absorbing mechanism associated with ankle dorsiflexion and calve muscle stretching. Under conditions subchondral bone stiffening occurred earliest metabolic changes cartilage damage. When returned normal effect on did not...
Agonistic responses were the primary form of social interaction during five rhesus group formations. Males showed most extreme forms aggression initially, but as formative processes progressed, females became more active and less severe. Initial agonistic interactions serve to establish order an emerging group. As a becomes organized, disappear aggressive frequencies decline.
Recent reports have demonstrated that plasma testosterone shows a significant diurnal variation, with an early morning peak (Resko & Eik-Nes, 1966; Faiman Winter, 1971; Okamoto, Setaishi, Nakagawa, Horiuchi, Moriya Itoh, 1971). Testosterone has also been reported to fluctuate during sleep, possibly associated rapid eye movement episodes (Evans, MacLean, Ismail Love, Thus testosterone, like cortisol (Hellman, Nakada, Curti, Weitzman, Kream, Roffwarg, Ellman, Fukushima Gallagher, 1970;...
