Psychological and Psychophysiological Effects of a High-Mountain Expedition to Tibet
No full textIn March 1999 a team of 8 mountaineers (6 men and 2 women) climbed up the 6th highest mountain of the world: The Cho Oyo (8201 m), located in the high mountains of Tibet. During the expedition, we investigated the effects of high mountaineering on various psychological variables (e.g., anxiety) and psychophysiological variables (e.g. blood pressure, pulse, skin-resistance) as well as the ability to relax at different points of time (2 premeasures before, three measures during, and one post-measure immediate after the Expedition). Due to a long-term monitoring of the skin resistance, we can summarize that three different adaptation levels can be defined, that appear under increasing pressure: Inhibition of overload, unspecific hypersensibility and exhaustion. The results can show that a telemedical assessment is possible and necessary even under the circumstances of a highmountaineering expedition in order to determine and predict deficits in behaviour and health risks for individuals at high altitudes

Primary HIV-1 Infection Among Infants in sub-Saharan Africa: HPTN 024.
No full textOur objectives were to assess clinical signs and diagnoses associated with primary HIV-1 infection among infants. We analyzed data from a clinical trial (HIV Prevention Trials Network Protocol 024) in sub-Saharan Africa. Study visits were conducted at birth, at 4-6 weeks, and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. The study population comprised live born, singleton, first-born infants of HIV-1-infected women with negative HIV-1 RNA assays who were still breastfeeding at 4-6 weeks. Of 1317 HIV-1-exposed infants, 84 became HIV-1 infected after 4-6 weeks and 1233 remained uninfected. There were 102 primary and 5650 nonprimary infection visits. The most common signs were cough and diarrhea, and the most common diagnoses were malaria and pneumonia. Primary infection was associated with significantly increased odds of diarrhea [odds ratio (OR) = 2.4], pneumonia (OR = 3.5), otitis media (OR = 3.1), and oral thrush (OR = 2.9). For the clinical signs and diagnoses evaluated, sensitivity was low (1%-16.7%) and specificity was high (88.2%-99%). Positive predictive values ranged from 0.1%-1.4%. Negative predictive values ranged from 28.0%-51.1%. Certain clinical signs and diagnoses, although more common during primary HIV-1 infection, had low sensitivity and high specificity. Efforts to expand access to laboratory assays for the diagnosis of primary HIV-1 infection among infants of HIV-1-infected women should be emphasized

Theory predicts five P, Q and R branches of comparable intensity provided that the separation of the E and vibrational components of the vibrational state is small compared with the splittings which arise from the term. of falls into this category. If, however, the separation between the E and vibrational components is very large, theory predicts an overtone spectrum with a single strong P, Q and R branch structure. In that case transitions to the levels associated with the E vibrational substate are extremely weak, and the P, Q, and R lines associated with the vibrational substate are similar to those of the fundamentals. of both and fall into this second category, although the splitting of lines belonging to the same J value is much larger in .

Ultrasonographic observation of secretin-induced pancreatic duct dilation in healthy cats
No full textSecretin is a polypeptide hormone that stimulates secretion of bicarbonate from the exocrine pancreas and, in healthy human subjects, causes transient pancreatic duct dilation observable sonographically. In humans with chronic pancreatitis, secretin administration fails to cause pancreatic duct dilation, theoretically due to the restrictive effects of periductal fibrosis. We characterized the effect of exogenous secretin administration on the width of the pancreatic duct in nine healthy domestic cats. Cats were given a commercially available secretin product (ChiRho Stim) while the pancreatic duct was monitored sonographically. Mean pancreatic duct diameter increased from 0.77 +/- 0.33 to 1.42 +/- 0.40 mm after secretin administration (P = 0.0017). The mean percent increase in pancreatic duct diameter over basal diameter for all time points up to 15 min postsecretin administration was 101.9 +/- 58.8%. Applicability of this technique to diagnose chronic pancreatitis in cats will need to be investigated.ID: 7079; JID: 9209635; 0 (Hormones); 1393-25-5 (Secretin); ppublishSource type: Electronic(1

A Dead Man\u27s Tale: Regulating the Right to Bequeath Sperm in California
No full textIn 1993 California courts considered a case of first impression in America: whether a man has the right to bequeath his sperm for the purpose of reproduction after his death. Hecht v. Superior Court (Kane) established that a man\u27s decision- making authority over the use of his sperm for procreation suffices to constitute a property interest under California law. Accordingly, a man may direct the disposition of his frozen semen after his death and that semen may be used to father a child. While Hecht received a warm welcome from men\u27s rights groups and bioethics scholars, criticism focused on the social ramifications of procreation after death, ranging from dire warnings of a generation of sperm bank orphans to the concern about emotional burdens that posthumous conception may impose on a child.
In her Note, the author assumes that some men will want to exercise their right to bequeath sperm and attempts to introduce paternal responsibility into the new procreative context established by Hecht. If, as the court acknowledged in Hecht, sperm is a unique type of property because of its potential for human life, it is reasonable for the state to attach special responsibilities and consequences to a bequest of such property in order to protect the rights and welfare of the resulting human life. This Note proposes a variety of guidelines for new legislation that attempt to provide for the posthumously conceived child without impacting the established legislative scheme beyond tolerable limits
