In Heinz Kohut’s (1977, 1984) theory of the psychology of the self, good parenting provides a child with optimal frustration and just the right amount of loving empathic concern. In the present study, the authors examined the relations of perceived parental empathy and love inconsistency with measures of narcissism, self-esteem, and depression. In a sample of university undergraduates (N = 232;...

Progress in medical therapy wouldn't be possible without the contribution of the scientific community. Several randomized controlled trials have led to our current guidelines. Specifically, COMPANION and CARE-HF trials involved a turning point for cardiac resynchronization therapy, which became well recognized for the treatment of heart failure patients with QRS≥120ms, ejection fraction≤35%, an...

H-2 dependent and virus-specific Ir genes regulate the generation of primary virus-specific K or D restricted cytotoxic T-cell responses in vivo. The following examples have been analyzed in some detail: first, Dk restricted responses to vaccinia in Sendai viruses are at least 30 times lower than the corresponding K-restricted responses irrespective of the H-2 haplotypes (k, b, d, dxs, dxq) of ...

We studied participants with T2DM participating in the Health Benefits of Aerobic and Resistance Training in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes (HART-D) trial that were randomized to a control group or one of three supervised ET groups for 9 months. Fitness response to ET was defined as a change in measured peak absolute oxygen uptake (DVO2peak, in liters per minute) from baseline to follow-up. E...

Mice lacking the V(alpha(1,3) (h gamma1)-gene do not produce a gamma1 anti-alpha(1,3) dextran response. However, on hyperimmunization some strains mount a kappa-anti-alpha(1,3) dextran response, whereas other remain nonresponder. Responsiveness in dominant. The kappa-anti-alpha(1,3) response difference is linked to the Ly-3 locus on chromosone 6 and is likely the result of a structural Vkappa-g...

The genetic requirements of carrier recognition were examined in the priming and elicitation of hapten specific, T-cell mediated, delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses. It was shown that nitrophenyl acetyl-poly-(L-glu56-L-lys35-L-phe9) (NP-GLO) could prime for NP responses only in strains of mice which are Ir gene responders to GLO. In contrast to this requirement, NO-GLO could elicit a...

tent aliquots are used, 1 nonresponder would be expected only among 10 million OPV recipients. To conclude, stabilized OPV will boost global plans to eradicate poliomyelitis by 2005 [8]. Multiple doses of potent OPV will be an asset to disease surveillance and will stop wild-virus transmission in Angola and elsewhere. Stabilized formulations will enhance the probability of every OPV recipient r...
