In this study, we examined whether nonattachment, a relatively new construct in the mindfulness literature, showed convergent, discriminant, and incremental validity in relation to the well-studied 5 facets of mindfulness. Mindfulness was defined as a multifaceted construct including observing, describing, acting with awareness, nonjudging, and nonreactivity; and measured using the recently val...

Two experiments were conducted using four strains of Leghorn pullets, namely Babcock, DeKalb, H & N, and Shaver. Pullets were grown on conventional or low protein diets fortified with additional amino acids. At 18 wk of age, 64 pullets from each strain and diet treatment were transferred to individual laying cages, using eight replicate groups of four adjacently caged birds. In a second experim...

PURPOSE To review the outcome of 121 patients who underwent arthroscopic resection of a humeroradial synovial plica for persistent lateral elbow pain. METHODS 92 men and 29 women aged 24 to 56 (mean, 38) years with chronic lateral elbow pain underwent arthroscopic resection of a humeroradial synovial plica using a motorised soft tissue shaver, followed by intensive physiotherapy. The modified...

One hundred and forty community volunteers were prescreened for upper and lower quartile scores using the Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding [BIDR; Paulhus, D.L. (1988). Assessing selfdeception and impression management in self-reports: The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding. Unpublished manual. Vancouver, British Columbia; University of British Columbia, Measurement and control...

Nearly half a century ago, psychiatrist John Bowlby proposed that the instinctual behavioral system that underpins an infant’s attachment to his or her mother is accompanied by ‘‘internal working models’’ of the social world—models based on the infant’s own experience with his or her caregiver (Bowlby, 1958, 1969/1982). These mental models were thought to mediate, in part, the ability of an inf...

Various scientists have underscored the critical need for replication of research findings in the development of science, including behavioral science (Cohen, 1994; Hedges, 1987; Robinson & Levin, 1997; Shaver & Norton, 1980). However, replication of research in behavioral science in general and pediatric psychology in particular has been limited (Kline, 2004, 2009). My review of articles in th...

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the self-disclosure process in regard to connection development and relationship quality in peer mentoring relationships between transition-age youth (ages 15-20) and young adults (ages 18-36) with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Self-disclosure is defined as "the disclosure of inner feelings and experiences to another person"...

The cardiovascular complications of Reiter's disease, rank amongst the less frequently encountered manifestations. Paronen (1948) reported clinical and electrocardiographic data on a series of 344 patients; 6-7 per cent, had findings consistent with carditis, and of these 23 patients, sixteen had myocarditis only, four had myocarditis and pericarditis, and three had isolated pericarditis. He fo...

Social support is associated with reduced pain experience across several domains (Cogan & Spinnato, 1988; Kulik & Mahler, 1989; Zaza & Baine, 2002); intriguingly, a handful of experimental studies suggest that this connection may reflect a causal relationship. Participants who received interactive support during a cold pressor task reported less pain than participants who completed the task alo...

Arthroscopic decompression of the suprascapular nerve by transection of the transverse scapular ligament has only recently been described. Arthroscopic decompression of a bony suprascapular notch foramen has not been previously reported. This article presents a case report and outlines an arthroscopic technique to safely decompress a bony suprascapular notch. In the subacromial space, a lateral...
