In this study 436 adults, who reported being diagnosed with trichotillomania (TTM), completed an anonymous survey examining the relationship between experiential avoidance (i.e., escape from or avoidance of unwanted thoughts or emotions) and TTM severity. Results showed a significant positive correlation between measures of experiential avoidance and TTM severity, indicating that more experient...

Although scientific inquiry using the Transtheoretical Model of Behavior (TTM) supports various behavior changes in multiple samples, no research was found that examined this model with women already infected with HIV. This article provides a brief overview of the related literature and describes a pilot study that evaluated TTM concepts in women at risk for, or infected with, HIV. The pilot st...

BACKGROUND Targeted temperature management (TTM) is often used in neurocritical care to minimize secondary neurologic injury and improve outcomes. TTM encompasses therapeutic hypothermia, controlled normothermia, and treatment of fever. TTM is best supported by evidence from neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, although it has also been explored in ischem...

This paper is an introduction to Thermal Texture Maps (TTM), starting from the end of the 80’s to the present, topics covered will be basic theory, medical and other fields’ application. It will also discuss TTM’s present technical problems and the expectation of TTM applications in this new century; proliferation of TTM technology in industrial engineering, military and medical fields and revo...

This article reviews current issues in the understanding and clinical management of trichotillomania (TTM). After diagnostic considerations and epidemiology are discussed, a brief update on biologic and environmental precipitants is provided, and emerging research on possible TTM subtypes is discussed. Current strategies for assessing TTM and t heir applicability to clinical practice are review...

Three questions guided a literature review of the transtheoretical model (TTM) as applied to exercise to address the evidence for stage-matched interventions, the description of priority populations, and the identification of valid TTM measurement tools. One-hundredand-fifty studies were reviewed. Results indicate preliminary support for the use of stage-matched exercise interventions. Most stu...

In recent years, interest in studies of traditional medicine in Asian and African countries has gradually increased due to its potential to complement modern medicine. In this review, we provide an overview of Thai traditional medicine (TTM) current development, and ongoing research activities of TTM related to metabolomics. This review will also focus on three important elements of systems bio...

T he term targeted temperature management (TTM) encompasses both induced hypothermia and fever reduction (normothermia). 1,2 For patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), the use of TTM has been increasingly explored as a form of neuroprotection. The growing body of TTM literature provides pathophysiologic evidence but does not specifically provide evidence to address the role of the nurse. 6 ...

Tetrathiomolybdate (TTM) avidly interacts with copper and has recently been employed to reduce excess copper in patients with Wilson disease. We found that TTM inhibits the purified Enterococcus hirae CopB copper ATPase with an IC(50) of 34 nM. Dithiomolybdate and trithiomolybdate, which commonly contaminate TTM, inhibited the copper ATPases with similar potency. Inhibition could be reversed by...

TTM has been historically classified into: mild (34.536.5°C), moderate (34.5-32°C), marked (28-32°C) and profound hypothermia (<28°C) [1,2]. The technique can be separated into three phases: induction, maintenance and rewarming; and each phase produces several changes in normal physiology. Very recent literature data pointed out that in real-world practices without a strictly controlled environ...
