Thought disorder (TD) has been shown to vary in relation to negative affect. Here we examine the role internal source monitoring (iSM, i.e. ability to discriminate between inner speech and verbalized speech) in TD and whether changes in iSM performance are implicated in the affective reactivity effect (deterioration of TD when participants are asked to talk about emotionally-laden topics). Eigh...

The very serious, prescription induced condition of tardive dyskinesia (TD) is associated with abnormal involuntary movements. TD is caused by or aggravated by socalled “neuroleptic” drugs. Usually used to manage psychotic conditions, as well as nausea and acid reflux, and sometimes adjunct medications to depression. The onset of TD can be during exposure to neuroleptics, or within a month of w...

BACKGROUND Incidence rates of travellers' diarrhoea (TD) need to be updated and risk factors are insufficiently known. METHODS Between July 2006 and January 2008 adult customers of our Centre for Travel Health travelling to a resource-limited country for the duration of 1 to 8 weeks were invited to participate in a prospective cohort study. They received one questionnaire pre-travel and a sec...

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of serotonin on anxiety and autonomic nervous system (ANS) function; the correlation between subjective anxiety rating and changes of ANS function following tryptophan depletion (TD) in healthy volunteers was examined. Twenty-eight healthy participants, consisting of 15 females and 13 males, with an average age of 33.3 years, were recruited...

Traveler's diarrhea (TD) strikes 20-60% of travelers visiting developing countries. It occurs shortly after the return and can be distinguished into two categories: acute and persistent TD. Acute TD, mostly caused by bacterial and viral pathogens, is usually mild and self-limited, and deserves empirical symptomatic and/or antibiotic therapy in selected cases. Fluoroquinolones are progressively ...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of both tic disorder (TD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) on attentional functions. N=96 children and adolescents participated in the study, including n=21 subjects with TD, n=23 subjects with ADHD, n=25 subjects with TD+ADHD, and n=27 controls. Attentional performance was tested based on four computerized attention ...

L-NAME (1 10 mM, 30 min of incubation) potentiates the tension developed (Td) in the isolated rat hemidiaphragm stimulated by direct subtetanic electrical stimulation (DSES) (F = 14 Hz). The aim of our study was to investigate the possible modulatory effect of local anaesthetic (lidocaine) and beta adrenergic blockers, propranolol and atenolol, on the L-NAMEinduced potentiation of isometric con...

Structural and electrical conduction properties of nitrogen-doped nanocrystalline diamond films are studied as a function of deposition temperature TD in a microwave Ar-rich/CH4 plasma with 30%N2 addition. Halland Seebeck-effect measurements confirm n-type conduction for TD above 1100 K. For TD from 1100 and 1220 K, the electron concentration increases up to 10 20 cm−3 and the electron mobility...

Tibial dyschondroplasia (TD) is a prevalent skeletal abnormality associated with rapid growth rate in many avian species; it causes enormous economic losses and is an animal welfare problem. Tibial dyschondroplasia is characterized by the presence of a nonvascularized, nonmineralized lesion that extends from the epiphyseal growth plate into the metaphysis of the proximal tibiotarsal bones. The ...
