Throughout this paper, let k be a field of characteristic 2. Let G be a classical group over k and g be its Lie algebra. Let g be the dual vector space of g. Fix a Borel subgroup B and a maximal torus T ⊂ B of G. Let B = TU be the Levi decomposition of B. Let b, t and n be the Lie algebra of B, T and U respectively. We have a natural action of G on g, g.ξ(x) = ξ(Ad(g)x) for g ∈ G, ξ ∈ g and x ∈...

CONTEXT Little is known about the neural abnormalities underlying generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Studies in other anxiety disorders have implicated the amygdala, but work in GAD has yielded conflicting results. The amygdala is composed of distinct subregions that interact with dissociable brain networks, which have been studied only in experimental animals. A functional connectivity approa...

Roemer and Orsillo (this issue) provide an insightful and innovative integration of theoretical perspectives to support the role of acceptance-based and mindfulness approaches in the treatment of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Their argument rests partly on the only modest degree of success from traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for GAD. In addition, they observe that the dist...

objective: attention is an important factor in information processing; obsessive- compulsive disorder (ocd) and generalized anxiety disorder (gad) are two main emotional disorders with a chronic course. this research examined the relationship among attentional control and intrusive thoughts (worry, rumination and obsession) in these disorders. it was hypothesized that attentional control is a c...

The etiology of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), including its high degree of comorbidity with major depressive disorder (MDD), remains a conceptual and clinical challenge. In this article, we discuss the relevance of regulatory focus theory, an influential theory of self-regulation, for understanding vulnerability to GAD as well as GAD/MDD comorbidity. The theory postulates two systems for ...

The current investigation examined self-reported family history of psychological problems in a large sample of individuals diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and nonanxious controls. The GAD participants were all individuals receiving cognitive-behavioral therapy as part of two large randomized clinical trials. Family history information was obtained from the Anxiety Disorders In...

OBJECTIVE To examine the cross-sectional associations between generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and major depressive disorder (MDD), their comorbidity, and hypertension. METHODS Participants (n = 4180) were drawn from a cohort of men who were members of the U.S. army during the Vietnam war era. Occupational, sociodemographic, and health data were collected from military service files, teleph...

BACKGROUND Perception of control over one's environment, particularly when faced with an ambiguous situation, has been identified as a critical cognitive process involved in worry and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Similarly, it is thought that individuals with lower cognitive skills feel less in control, and do not cope as well as individuals with higher cognitive skills. This study tests...

AIM The balance between T helper cell subsets is an important regulator of the immune system and is often examined after immune therapies. We aimed to study the immunomodulatory effect of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) 65 formulated with aluminium hydroxide (GAD-alum) in children with Type 1 diabetes, focusing on chemokines and their receptors. METHODS Blood samples were collected from 70 ...

Latent infection with the apicomplexan Toxoplasma gondii (Nicolle et Manceaux, 1908) has been associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and self-harm behaviour. However, the potential relationship between T. gondii immunoglobulin G antibody (IgG) seropositivity and generalised-anxiety disorder (GAD) and panic disorder (PD) has not been investigated. The associations between serum reactivi...
