D. DeSteno, M. Y. Bartlett, J. Braverman, and P. Salovey proposed that if sex-differentiated responses to infidelity are evolved, then they should be automatic, and therefore cognitive load should not attenuate them. DeSteno et al. found smaller sex differences in response to sexual versus emotional infidelity among participants under cognitive load, an effect interpreted as evidence against th...

Background Involvement of the heart drives prognosis in Systemic AL Amyloidosis, predicting outcome and influencing therapeutic options. Current methods of cardiac assessment do not allow formal quantification of the amyloid load. We used Equilibrium Contrast Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (EQ-CMR) to measure the interstitial compartment of the heart by measuring the myocardial contrast volu...

J Appl Physiol 89: 2498–2507, 2000.—The regulatory pathways involved in the rapid response of the AP-1 transcription factor, c-fos, to mechanical load in human primary osteoblast-like (HOB) cells and the...

Under a blast or impact load, rapid movement of the thoracic wall generates stress in lung, a foam-like structure of high compressibility, which is different from general solids. Due to this unique characteristic, it is hypothesized that when lung is subjected to a blast or impact load, there will be an initial low stress progressively developed into a high stress in a short duration in a thin ...

Neuroimaging data emphasize that older adults often show greater extent of brain activation than younger adults for similar objective levels of difficulty. A possible interpretation of this finding is that older adults need to recruit neuronal resources at lower loads than younger adults, leaving no resources for higher loads, and thus leading to performance decrements [Compensation-Related Uti...

OBJECTIVE Beta-thalassemia major (TM) is a genetic hemoglobin disorder causing chronic hemolytic anemia. Since cardiac insufficiency and arrhythmias are the primary causes of mortality in such patients, monitoring of cardiac iron load is important in management of the disorder. The purpose of this study was to investigate the importance of fragmented QRS (fQRS) and its relation to the cardiac T...

introduction with the increase in women's employment and change in attitudes towards father’s role in family, father involvement in infant care can indirectly influence the physical health and well being of infant and mother. materials and methods this randomized clinical trial was performed on 150 qualified pregnant women and husbands. during the 35-37 weeks of pregnancy, fathers in fathe...

In line with Kang and Herr's work (2006), this research questions the ELM's contention that celebrity credibility serves foremost as a peripheral element in persuasive communication context. Nevertheless, different light to ‘either-central-or-peripheral-role’ of source characteristic, advances plays concomitantly central roles message context depending on product involvement brand-purchase moti...

This article explores the hypothesis that dyspnea in patients with COPD arises from an imbalance between the load placed on the respiratory muscle pump and its capacity. Evidence to support this concept is presented, and possible therapeutic approaches are discussed.
