Three studies examined the contribution of attachment orientation and perceived partner responsiveness to sexual desire in initial acquaintanceships. In all studies, participants discussed a recent negative event with an unfamiliar, opposite-sex partner and then rated how responsive this partner had been during the interaction and their desire to have sex with him or her. Study 1 examined the a...

Adrenal adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) and corticosterone responses to exogenous ACTH were found to be about 2.5 times greater in the evening (at lights off) than in the morning (at lights on) in rats. The rhythm in adrenal responsiveness to ACTH was found to persist in rats treated with dexamethasone 15 and 3 h before exogenous ACTH (in the presumed absence of a rhythm in endogeno...

Six urban subjects, with little or no previous experience of farm-work, were exposed to dust while weighing swine for 2-5 h. Three subjects experienced toxic symptoms 4-5 h after the beginning of exposure. Bronchial responsiveness increased in all subjects within 6 h (more than three doubling steps difference in a methacholine test). One week later, airway responsiveness had partly normalized. ...

Understanding the underpinnings of social responsiveness and theory of mind (ToM) will enhance our knowledge of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We hypothesize that higher-order relational reasoning (higher-order RR: reasoning necessitating integration of relationships among multiple variables) is necessary but not sufficient for ToM, and that social responsiveness varies independently of higher...

Background: This study evaluated the responsiveness of several PROMIS patient-reported outcome measures in patients with hand and upper extremity disorders and provided comparisons with the qDASH instrument. Methods: The PROMIS Upper Extremity computer adaptive test (UE CAT) v1.2, the PROMIS Physical Function (PF) CAT v1.2, the PROMIS Pain Interference (PI) CAT v1.1 and the qDASH were administe...

objective(s) physiological changes in the body may be utilized as potential triggers for controlled drug delivery. based on these mechanisms, stimulus-responsive drug delivery has been developed. materials and methods in this study, a kind of poly (n-isopropylacrylamide-acrylamide) membrane was prepared by radical copolymerization. changes in swelling ratios and diameters of the membrane were i...

Early lactation is characterised by a number of metabolic adaptations which divert nutrients from the peripheral tissues in favour of the mammary gland. One such adaptation is the increased responsiveness of adipose tissue to lipolytic stimuli. The effects of the condition score at calving and the level of undegradable protein in the diet on the responsiveness of adipose tissue to adrenergic st...

CONTEXT Abnormal placentation in human pregnancy is associated with intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR). Our group has previously reported the association between severe IUGR, lower fetal circulating concentrations of thyroid hormones (THs), and altered expression of TH receptors and TH transporters within human placental villi. We postulate that altered TH bioavailability to trophobla...
