Misogyny – the hatred of women, often expressed through violence against women or sexual objectification Bystander Efficacy – one’s confidence to intervene in sexually aggressive events Audience Inhibition – the phenomenon in which an individual does not intervene because doing so runs the risk of embarrassment Background Male-to-female sexual aggression (SA) is a serious public health concern,...

Ionizing radiation is a well known human carcinogen. Evidence accumulated over the past decade suggested that extranuclear/extracellular targets and events may also play a critical role in modulating biological responses to ionizing radiation. However, the underlying mechanism(s) of radiation-induced bystander effect is still unclear. In the current study, AL cells were irradiated with alpha pa...

OBJECTIVE the object of this exploratory evaluation was to evaluate the "Bringing in the Bystander" sexual and intimate partner violence prevention program with a new sample of intercollegiate athletes. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS fifty-three male and female athletes participated in the program (experimental group), and 86 were in the control group. All completed pretest, posttest, and 2-month f...

Radiation induced bystander effects are secondary effects caused by the production of chemical signals by cells in response to radiation. We present a Bio-PEPA model which builds on previous modelling work in this field to predict: the surviving fraction of cells in response to radiation, the relative proportion of cell death caused by bystander signalling, the risk of non-lethal damage and the...

further to our recently published findings, we have completed the analysis of our second year of prehospital data collection for the same service. we wish to expedite the availability of this data to clinicians, researchers and policy makers in the region. our 2015/2016 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (ohca) data displayed the following demographic results: 514 ohca resuscitation attempts were a...

Ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation (λ: 200-280 nm) causes release of several secretory cytokines responsible for inflammation. Our objective was to investigate whether inflammatory response was also induced in bystander cells. For this purpose, the conditioned medium containing the released factors from UVC irradiated A375 cells was used in this study to evaluate the expression of inflammatory mar...

OBJECTIVES In a national perspective, to describe survival among patients found in ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia witnessed by a bystander and with a presumed cardiac aetiology and answer two principal questions: (1) what are the changes over time? and (2) which are the factors of importance? DESIGN Observational register study. SETTING Sweden. PATIENTS All ...
