OBJECTIVE To examine the association between venous thromboembolism and prolonged work- and computer-related seated immobility. DESIGN A case-control study. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING Cases were 200 patients attending venous thromboembolism clinics with a history of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism in the past six months, and controls were 200 patients treated in fracture clinic...

Many arthropods, including terrestrial isopods, are capable of entering a state of tonic immobility upon a mechanical disturbance. Here we compare the responses to mechanical stimulation in three terrestrial isopods Balloniscus glaber, Balloniscus sellowii and Porcellio dilatatus. We applied three stimuli in a random order and recorded whether each individual was responsive (i.e. showed tonic i...

SART (specific alternation of rhythm in temperature) stress is known to cause anxiety-like behavior in mice/rats in several anxiety-related behavioral tests. In the present study, we investigated possible roles for corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and glucocorticoids in SART stress-induced anxiety-like behavior in two different anxiety-related behavioral tests. In the forced swimming test, ...

results results showed that dex 1 significantly increased, while dex 30 and groups treated with zinc 10 mg/kg and zinc 20 mg/kg decreased total immobility time as compared to that of saline group. also there was a significant decrease of total immobility time when zinc administered to rats already received dex 1, compared with that of control group. conclusions the current study findings sugges...

▼ Objectives: The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate whether Jobelyn ® (JB) possesses anti-depressant-like property in the mouse forced swimming test (FST), tail suspension test (TST) and yohimbine-induced lethality test (YLT) in aggregated mice. Methods: Mice were given JB (10–100 mg/kg, p.o.) daily for 7 days and then subjected to FST, TST, YLT and open fi eld test. The parameters ...

The central nucleus of the amygdala (CEA) is considered to be involved in stress-dependent regulation of autonomic functions. In the present study the effects of a bilateral electrolytic lesion of the CEA on the cardiac response and on the duration of immobility behavior in two conditioned stress situations have been analysed in Wistar rats. Fear of a previously received electric footshock elic...

The objective of this article is to identify the main areas where Central American migrants spend most their time during transit through Mexico. theoretical framework reviews mobility-immobility and aspiration/ability approaches that focus on mobility restrictions waiting times. definition territories inclusion length stay variable contribute study migration from perspective immobility. Using M...
