In humans, it is well established that practicing simple, repetitive movements with the distal upper limb induces short-term plasticity in the neural pathways that control training. It is unknown how the neural response to similar training at more proximal joints differs. The purpose of this study was to quantify how ballistic training at proximal and distal upper limb joints influences measure...

BACKGROUND Acupuncture is beneficial for controlling chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). However, the effect of different acupoint combinations on controlling CINV remains unknown. This study aims to compare the effects of distal-proximal point association and local distribution point association on controlling CINV. METHODS/DESIGN The study is a single-center, randomized control...

1. Residuals from linear regressions are used frequently in statistical analysis, often for the purpose of controlling for unwanted effects in multivariable datasets. This paper criticizes the practice, building upon recent critiques. 2. Regression of residuals is often used as an alternative to multiple regression, often with the aim of controlling for confounding variables. When correlations ...

We addressed several questions regarding the relation of anxiety sensitivity to anxious symptoms among 47 youth psychiatric inpatients (18 boys, 29 girls), ages 9-17 (M = 14.23, SD = 1.89). Participants completed measures of anxiety sensitivity, anxious and depressive symptoms, trait anxiety, and positive and negative affect; chart diagnoses were available. Consistent with hypotheses, we found ...
