From early in development, humans have strong prosocial tendencies. Much research has documented young children’s propensity to help others achieve their unfulfilled goals toward physical objects. Yet many of our most common and important goals are social—directed toward other people. Here we demonstrate that children are also inclined, and able, to help others achieve their social goals. Three...

CONTEXT Luminal bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy can be present in various degrees of acuity in up to 30% of patients. CASE REPORT In this report, we describe a rare and uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding after pancreaticoduodenectomy and review of the literature. CONCLUSIONS Multiple biliary procedures with common complications increase the difficulty making the correct diag...

Expanding upon Simon’s (1955) seminal theory, this investigation compared the choice-making strategies of maximizers and satisficers, finding that maximizing tendencies, although positively correlated with objectively better decision outcomes, are also associated with more negative subjective evaluations of these decision outcomes. Specifically, in the fall of their final year in school, studen...

The use oforal anticoagulants in the form ofcoumarin derivatives in the treatment of thrombosis continues to carry the risk of inducing abnormal bleeding. While the laboratory control of such treatment has been improved considerably by the introduction of standardisation (ICSH)' and the use of British comparative reagents (ACP broadsheet),' the increasing number of drugs that interact with thes...

Awe is an emotional response to perceptually vast stimuli that transcend current frames of reference. Guided by conceptual analyses of awe as a collective emotion, across 5 studies (N = 2,078) we tested the hypothesis that awe can result in a diminishment of the individual self and its concerns, and increase prosocial behavior. In a representative national sample (Study 1), dispositional tenden...

Appraisal theories of emotion assume that similar evaluations of an event result in similar emotions, whereas the evaluation itself may depend on culturally defined concepts, experiences, and values. In other words, cognitions are crucial for the elicitation and differentiation of emotions, and the impact that culture has on emotions is enclosed in their cognitive determinants. Based on this ap...

more than 65 years old, and the use of antiplatelet agents is vastly more common than that. Patients with inherited bleeding disorders will likely present to the emergency department (ED) for treatment of abnormal bleeding at some point during their lifetime, and ED visits for bleeding in patients who are taking antithrombotic agents are not uncommon. The clinician must be familiar with these d...

OBJECTIVE To compare the therapeutic effects of the application of doxycycline-full dose (100 mg) and sub-dose (20 mg) in the treatment of periodontal disease. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 60 patients with periodontal disease were examined. Patients are divided into two groups: A) treated with antimicrobial dose of 100 mg doxycycline once daily for 30 days, and B) treated with 2 x 20 mg/da...

UNLABELLED The dominance behavioral system has been conceptualized as a biologically based system comprising motivation to achieve social power and self-perceptions of power. Biological, behavioral, and social correlates of dominance motivation and self-perceived power have been related to a range of psychopathological tendencies. Preliminary evidence suggests that mania and risk for mania (man...

 ABSTRACT Background: Aspirin even at low dose ( 100 mg) can increase the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. It is usual to use low dose aspirin for cardiovascular prophylaxis. We hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori eradication is as effective as omeprazole maintenance therapy for secondary prevention of bleeding in those who take low dose aspirin and are positive for Helicobacter pylor...
