Abstract Background Parents’ fear of negative evaluation (FNE) has been proposed to play a role in the intergenerational transmission social anxiety. We investigated whether (1) parents’ own FNE, core belief anxiety, extends their child’s environment resulting child (FNCE); and (2) FNCE mediates association between parenting behavior children’s Methods In this cross-sectional study, fathers ( n...

A growing theoretical and research literature suggests that trait and state social anxiety can predict attentional patterns in the presence of emotional stimuli. The current study adds to this literature by examining the effects of state anxiety on visual attention and testing the vigilance-avoidance hypothesis, using a method of continuous visual attentional assessment. Participants were 91 un...

The gene fnz from Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus encodes a cell surface protein that binds fibronectin (Fn). Fifty tested isolates of S. equi subspecies equi all contain DNA sequences with similarity to fnz. This work describes the cloning and sequencing of a gene, designated fne, with similarity to fnz from two S. equi subspecies equi isolates. The DNA sequences were found to be i...

In humans, a first night effect (FNE) is characterized by increased sleep latency and decreased total sleep time in an unfamiliar environment, but the mechanism and treatment options for this universally experienced acute insomnia are unclear. We continuously recorded electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) and measured plasma corticosterone levels to develop a mouse FNE model by ...

In the studies and production of bioethanol, preferred fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is usually cultured in liquid broth that contains extract peptone. However, use these laboratory scientific grade chemicals costly, making them impractical for mass bioethanol production. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate feasibility glucose ethanolic fermentation by S. cerevisiae us...

AIM Assessment of reliability, cross-validity and usefulness in everyday clinical practice of two related tools: Social Avoidance and Distress Scale (SAD) and Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (FNE). MATERIAL AND METHOD Analysis of tests results of 453 females and 172 males diagnosed in the years 2008-2010 in the Outpatient Clinic for Neurotic and Behavioral Disorders of the Cracow University...

This case report describes a successful fibreoptic naso-tracheal intubation in a patient with difficult airway due to a nearly head-size right parotid swelling. Nasal fibreoptic intubation was performed by maintaining spontaneous breathing under propofol infusion at a dose of 25 mcg/kg/hour and topical anaesthesia of vocal cords by using oxygen (6 l/min) flow to nebulize 4% lignocaine from the ...

This study examines the structure of sensory nerve endings in the sheep anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Three types of nerve endings are found: free nerve endings (FNE), Ruffini corpuscles, and lamellated corpuscles. The FNE (more than 100) are found subsynovially. The afferent nerve fibres are either thin myelinated axons (Adelta) or C fibres with diameters of 1-2 microm. FNE have been repor...
