BACKGROUND Musical performance is a skilled activity performed under intense pressure, thus is often a profound source of anxiety. In other contexts, anxiety and its concomitant symptoms of sympathetic nervous system arousal have been successfully ameliorated with HRV biofeedback (HRV BF), a technique involving slow breathing which augments autonomic and emotional regulatory capacity.

AIM To determine possible nerve conduction changes in the somatosensory pathway in children with brain ventricular dilatation and to estimate the relation between the ventricular size and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP). METHODS Twelve children with ventricular dilatation (frontal and occipital horn ratios >0.44) and 19 children without ventricular dilatation (control group), aged betwe...

We have engineered two soluble, covalently linked, trimeric polypeptides, N35CCG-N13 and N34CCG comprising only the internal trimeric coiled-coil of the ectodomain of HIV-1 gp41. Both trimers inhibit human immunodeficiency virus, type 1 (HIV-1) envelope (Env)-mediated cell fusion at nanomolar concentrations by targeting the exposed C-terminal region of the gp41 ectodomain in the prehairpin inte...

Walking speed was timed for male and female pedestrians on a public sidewalk with fast, slow, or no music playing in the background (n = 20 per condition). Pedestrians in the fast music condition walked more rapidly than those in the other two conditions. Slow music did not reduce walking speed, relative to the no music condition. Walking speed did not differ by gender in any of the three condi...
