Agoraphobia is a disabling condition. According to Davidson (2002) most agoraphobics feel uncomfortable in social scenarios, where the presence of others seems to lead personal freedom, uncontrollably, and provoke the fear and the apprehension of gaining other’s visual attention in an explosion of panic attack. “This means that agoraphobics to overcome their anxiety have to become especially sk...

Several methods to experimentally induce panic cause profound acid-base disturbances. Evidence suggests that CO(2) inhalations, lactate infusions and, to a certain extent, voluntary hyperventilation can conceivably lead to a common scenario of brain acidosis in the face of disparate intravascular pH alterations. The importance of this event is reflected in data that support a model in which exp...

detection and modification of the risk factors of stroke may be the most effective strategy for preventing its often irreversible consequences. a longitudinal prospective study was implemented to evaluate the effect of several risk factors on the course of cerebrovascular disease. the study groups were composed of 3s8 normal volunteers, and 308 patients with transient ischemic attacks. the two ...

Résumé. Nous présentons dans cet article une méthode de visualisation interactive de données numériques ou symboliques permettant à un utilisateur expert du domaine d’obtenir des informations et des connaissances pertinentes. Nous proposons une approche nouvelle en adaptant l’utilisation des points d’intérêts dans un contexte de fouille visuelle de données. A partir d’un ensemble de points d’in...

0 f(t) dt = δ(f(x)− f(0)) pour tout x ≥ 0. (Eλ,δ) Remarquons tout d’abord que le paramètre δ est accessoire : si f est solution de (Eλ,δ) alors g(x) = f(|δ|x) est solution de (Eλ,1) ou (Eλ,−1). Cependant, il s’avère naturelle de considérer des paramètres λ et δ entiers dans notre construction. Nous faisons quelques remarques sur les solutions de cette équation. Nous présentons ensuite une métho...

The current study tested whether "suffocation sensations" (respiratory loads) are automatically evaluated in a negative way by people fearing these sensations. It was found that, after having been primed with a slight respiratory load, participants with high suffocation fear (n=15) reacted more quickly to suffocation words and more slowly to positive words than participants with low suffocation...

Some data suggest that panic patients with extensive agoraphobia (PDA) display more intense respiratory distress during their panic attacks than Panic disorder (PD) patients. However, no studies have determined if PDA patients also show heightened sensitivity to a respiratory challenge compared to PD patients. The current study examined the differential emotional responding to hyperventilation ...

Patients 115 patients who were 18–65 years of age (mean age 41 y, 57% women), met DSM-IV criteria for panic disorder with >1 panic attack in the past month, spoke English, and had a telephone. Exclusion criteria were presence of illnesses that were life threatening or limited patient participation, current psychiatric treatment, or disability benefit claims. Follow up was 80% at 6 months and 79...

RÉSUMÉ. Les systèmes pair-à-pair (P2P) se sont imposés ces dernières années comme la technologie majeure d’accès à différentes ressources sur Internet. De nombreuses recherche concernant la sélection des meilleurs pairs contenant les données appropriées à une requête,ont émergé et constituent un axe de recherche très actif. L’efficacité de la recherche dans ces systèmes, et surtout le cas non s...
