Intrusive thoughts and attempts to suppress them are common, but while suppression may be effective in the short-term, it can increase thought recurrence in the long-term. Because intentional suppression involves controlled processing, and many aspects of controlled processing decline with age, age differences in thought suppression outcomes may emerge, especially over repeated thought suppress...

Cognitive theories of obsessions highlight appraisals of personal significance and thought suppression in the development and maintenance of intrusive thoughts. The current study examined the role of personal significance within the context of a thought suppression paradigm. The primary aim was to examine whether suppression would have differential effects for target thoughts appraised as perso...

Abstract: This paper presents the well-known Cell Suppression Methodology, herein called complete cell suppression. A new methodology, called partial cell suppression, is then described and favourably compared with complete cell suppression. Finally, a new combined method merging the best of both methodologies is introduced leading to a more powerful cell suppression technique to protect sensit...

FVMany different dosage schedules of antisecretory drugs for the treatment of duodenal ulcer are recommended. The relationship between degree of acid suppression and therapeutic efficacy has not been precisely defined for these drugs. We have examined the association between suppression of intragastric acidity and duodenal ulcer healing rates for a number of therapeutic regimens. For the H2 rec...

Metabolic suppression may have a role in cerebral protection. It is often assumed that the cerebral metabolic and protective effects of qualitative burst suppression are similar to those of the isoelectric encephalogram (EEG). We have examined the effect of different degrees of EEG suppression on blood flow and oxygen difference during general anaesthesia. We studied 11 patients undergoing gene...

Access to social media can encourage adolescents make comparisons, causing psychological distress. There are two emotion regulation strategies, namely cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The strategy weakens the relationship between comparison on distress, while expressi ve suppression strengthens it. This study aimed examine role of as moderating variable

To understand the neural mechanism of fixation, we investigated effects of electrical stimulation of the frontal eye field (FEF) and its vicinity on visually guided (Vsacs) and memory-guided saccades (Msacs) in trained monkeys and found that there were two types of suppression induced by the electrical stimulation: suppression of ipsilateral saccades and suppression of bilateral saccades. In th...
