Acts of terror increase the demand for acute care. This article describes the pattern of injury of terror victims hospitalized at 9 acute-care hospitals in Israel during a 15-month period of terrorism. To characterize patients hospitalized as a result of terror injuries, we compared terror casualties with other injuries regarding severity, outcome, and service utilization. Using data from the N...

Drawing on lay epistemology theory, the authors assessed a terror management analysis of the psychological function of structuring social information. Seven studies tested variations of the hypothesis that simple, benign interpretations of social information function, in part, to manage death-related anxiety. In Studies 1-4, mortality salience (MS) exaggerated primacy effects and reliance on re...

BACKGROUND Radical cystectomy (RC) represents the mainstay of treatment in patients with muscle-invasive urinary bladder cancer but how it compares with the best organ preservation approach is not known. MATERIALS AND METHODS The objective of our review is to compare the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates from retrospective and prospective studies of RC and trimodality treatment (TMT), i.e. c...

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether top management team (TMT) characteristics and green innovation (GI) affect firm performance, if so, the effect mediated by carbon emission disclosure (CED). This quantitative employs partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) test hypotheses. data were collected from high-profile companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (I...

Recent advances in medical care have facilitated the survival of patients with stroke or traffic-related injuries. However, such patients may suffer from higher brain dysfunction; i.e., an impaired ability to plan and perform behaviors based on prior knowledge. The Trail Making Test (TMT) is a cognitive task that is used to evaluate higher brain dysfunction caused by frontal lobe injury. TMT co...

The Trail Making Test (TMT) is widely used for assessing executive function, frontal lobe abilities, and visual motor skills. Part A of this pen-and-paper test (TMT-A) involves linking numbers randomly distributed in space, in ascending order. Part B (TMT-B) alternates between linking numbers and letters. TMT-B is more demanding than TMT-A, but the mental processing that supports the performanc...

A study was conducted to assess the effects of mortality salience on evaluations of political candidates as a function of leadership style. On the basis of terror management theory and previous research, we hypothesized that people would show increased preference for a charismatic political candidate and decreased preference for a relationship-oriented political candidate in response to subtle ...
