Why do people give to strangers? We propose that people trust and give more to those whose emotional expressions match how they ideally want to feel ("ideal affect match"). European Americans and Koreans played multiple trials of the Dictator Game with recipients who varied in emotional expression (excited, calm), race (White, Asian) and sex (male, female). Consistent with their culture's value...

During the past few decades, hybrid nanoparticles (HNPs) based on a magnetic material and gold have attracted interest for applications in catalysis, diagnostics nanomedicine. In this paper, CoFe2O4/Au HNPs with an average particle size of 20 nm, decorated 2 nm clusters, were prepared using methionine as reducer anchor between CoFe2O4 gold. The was used to grow Au clusters solid shell (up 10 de...

Testosterone declines with aging, so most midlife women have "low" testosterone levels. Because libido also declines with aging, and distressing sexual problems peak at midlife, should midlife women with low libido and associated distress be treated with testosterone? This Practice Pearl reports clinical trial evidence, reviews the risks, and explains how testosterone might be used in a clinica...

Phagocytosis and intracellular killing of Staphylococcus aureus by granulocytes were examined in diabetic patients. There was no significant difference in the phagocytic activity of granulocytes between control and diabetic-subjects. However, intracellular killing by granulocytes was significantly reduced in insulin-treated diabetic patients compared with control subjects. No significant differ...

Material and Method: 60 patients within the age range of 35-65 years were included. The selection respondents was made by a simple random method. As criterion in research sample, depth periodontal pockets taken into account, which from 3 to 5 mm, according made. Chronic disease with clinically manifest stage diagnosed all patients. Each had opportunity estimate frequency personal consumption 6 ...

UNLABELLED Appearances of and increases in Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) have been reported after treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism with radioiodine. We sought to determine the rates of appearance or increase in manifestations of GO in American patients treated with radioiodine for hyperthyroidism. METHODS The study population, which consisted of 76 patients (range, 10.6-72 y), include...

Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (65.2±2.2 g) were randomly distributed into 12 glass aquaria to represent 4 treatments (3 replicates per treatment). Fish were exposed to cadmium chloride at concentrations of 0.0 (control), 0.05 (T1), 0.10 (T2) and 0.15 mg L -1 (T3) for 4 weeks. After the first, third and fourth week, fish were immediately anesthetized and blood was collected. Fish weight wa...

Objective: The aim of this study was to estimate the cheminformatics and qualitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol. The effects of cinnamaldehyde and eugenol on the viability, doubling time and adipogenic or osteogenic differentiations of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hASCs) were also investigated.  Materials and Methods: QSAR and toxicity ...
