چکیده

Psychoendocrinology is part of the current association of psychosomatic and liaison psychiatry that studies the psychical origin of somatisation and treats psychical changes occurring in the course of a somatic illness (1). The main concern of psychoendocrinology is endocrinologal diseases, where psychical disorders may precede the illness or appear as its ensuing manifestation The presence of combined psychosomatic symptomatology can often mask the primary diagnosis, and regardless of whether psychical changes are the cause or the consequence, in both cases we deal with the phenomenon of psychoendocrinal syndrome (2). Hyperthyroidism as well as hypotireoidism have their recognizable psychical manifestations, thyroidal hormones used for therapeutically purposes can affect certain psychological states, and, vice versa, various medicaments used for mental illness treatments can infl uence the function of the thyroid gland (3,4).

Gains from diversification on convex combinations: A majorization and stochastic dominance approach

By incorporating both majorization theory and stochastic dominance theory, this paper presents a general theory and a unifying framework for determining the diversification preferences of risk-averse investors and conditions under which they would unanimously judge a particular asset to be superior. In particular, we develop a theory for comparing the preferences of different convex combination...

Improved immunogenicity of tetanus toxoid by Brucella abortus S19 LPS adjuvant.

BACKGROUND Adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. Despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. Brucella abortus LPS is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to LPS from other gram negati...

Steady electrodiffusion in hydrogel-colloid composites: macroscale properties from microscale electrokinetics.

A rigorous microscale electrokinetic model for hydrogel-colloid composites is adopted to compute macroscale profiles of electrolyte concentration, electrostatic potential, and hydrostatic pressure across membranes that separate electrolytes with different concentrations. The membranes are uncharged polymeric hydrogels in which charged spherical colloidal particles are immobilized and randomly d...

Perturbative Analysis of Dynamical Localisation

In this paper we extend previous results on convergent perturbative solutions of the Schrödinger equation of a class of periodically timedependent two-level systems. The situation treated here is particularly suited for the investigation of two-level systems exhibiting the phenomenon of (approximate) dynamical localisation. We also present a convergent perturbative expansion for the secular fre...

Collinear contextual suppression

The context of a target can modulate behavioral as well as neural responses to that target. For example, target processing can be suppressed by iso-oriented surrounds whereas it can be facilitated by collinear contextual elements. Here, we present experiments in which collinear elements exert strong suppression whereas iso-oriented contextual surrounds yield no contextual modulation--contrary t...
