BACKGROUND Many depressed people do not receive help for their symptoms, and there are various barriers that impede help-seeking. The Internet may offer interesting alternatives for reaching and helping people with depression. Depression can be treated effectively with Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but a short intervention based on problem solving therapy (PST) could consti...

We evaluated the combined use of 0 or 4 mg/d of recombinant porcine somatotropin (pST) and 0 or 2.75 ppm salbutamol in three genotypes of growing barrows (139 d old) differing in lean and lipid accretion potential. Treatments were in a 2 x 2 x 3 factorial arrangement, and the three genotypes tested were Meishan (M, n = 32, 49 kg), Duroc x White composite (D x Wc, n = 31, 62 kg), and Meishan x W...

The early proximal tubule preferentially reabsorbs organic solutes and bicarbonate over chloride ions, resulting in a luminal fluid with a higher chloride concentration than that in blood. From this late proximal tubular fluid, one-half of NaCl reabsorption by the adult proximal tubule is active and transcellular and one-half is passive and paracellular. The purpose of the present in vitro micr...

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widespread nephrotoxin excreted to a substantial degree via the kidney. Previously we showed that [3H]OTA can be reabsorbed along the rat nephron in vivo (Zingerle et al., 1997). In this study we investigated in detail the contribution of different nephron segments to [3H]OTA reabsorption and determined the possible mechanisms involved by microinfusion and microperfusion...

The FLAGELLIN-SENSING2 (FLS2) receptor kinase recognizes bacterial flagellin and initiates a battery of downstream defense responses to reduce bacterial invasion through stomata in the epidermis and bacterial multiplication in the apoplast of infected plants. Recent studies have shown that during Pseudomonas syringae pv tomato (Pst) DC3000 infection of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), FLS2-m...

Three mutant alleles of the pstC gene and one mutant allele of the pstB gene were produced by site-directed mutagenesis. The pstC gene encodes an integral membrane protein of the phosphate-specific transport (Pst) system of Escherichia coli. The amino acid substitutions resulting from the pstC gene mutations, Arg-237----Gln, Glu-240----Gln, or a combination of both, caused the loss of phosphate...

This study presents a complete psychological skills training (PST) program with a wheelchair athlete and examines the program effectiveness using a mixed-method approach. After initial testing, the athlete followed a two-month program of self-confidence building, motivational, visualization/relaxation, and injury management techniques. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to examine t...

This study reflects on serious methodological problems encountered in a replica RCT, concerning the study of Nezu et al. (2003) on Problem-Solving Therapy (PST) in distressed cancer patients. Although we screened a large sample of patients for distress (n=970), only 3.7% (n=36) was included in the study and randomized into the PSTintervention (n=18) or waitlist control condition (WLC, n=18). Mo...

Over the years, there has been a solidification of discourse integral education in implementation educational and sports public policies. In this article, we will seek to understand how appears context policies through analysis documents from programs Mais Educação (PME), Novo (PNME) Segundo Tempo (PST). PME PST, holistic development as proposal for training physical classes having means experi...
