objective: generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders in the general ‎population. several studies suggest that anxiety sensitivity is a vulnerability factor in generalized ‎anxiety severity. however, some other studies suggest that negative repetitive thinking and ‎experiential avoidance as response factors can explain this relationship. therefore, this study ‎aime...

background: the aim of the study was to assess the effect of four repeated ejaculations on the same day at two-hour intervals on conventional and functional semen parameters. methods: three healthy men (32±3.6 years) donated the first semen samples after 3-4 days of sexual abstinence followed by three subsequent samples on the same day at two-hour interval each. semen samples were processed and...

objective: the transdiagnostic cognitive behavioral treatments for treating the coexistence of anxiety and mood disorders received useful empirical supports in the recent years. however, these treatments still have moderate efficacy. following the improvements and developments in transdiagnostic protocols and considering the importance of repetitive negative thinking as a core transdiagnostic f...

transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) has been applied to a growing number of psychiatric disorders as a neurophysiological probe, a primary brain-mapping tool and a candidate treatment. although most investigations have focused on the treatment of major depression, increasing attention has been paid to anxiety disorders. the aim of this study is to long time (for 30 days) effect of repetitiv...

introduction: work-related musculoskeleta ldisorders (wmsds) of upperlimbs (ul)in the last 35 years have become extremely widespread, reaching epidemiclevels, inalladv ancedindustrializedcountries. they are considered the main cause of disability, time off work, and requests for healthcare . method and materials: for detailed risk assessment, iso -11228-3 is the preferred method. it is recommen...

Microinjection of the dopamine antagonist cis-flupenthixol into the medial preoptic area was previously shown to impair male rat copulatory behavior. The present experiments provide further evidence of cis-flupenthixol's inhibitory effects on male sexual behavior. Following microinjections of moderate to high doses of cis-flupenthixol, males exhibited slower copulatory rates and fewer ejaculati...

This paper proposes a discrete-time repetitive optimal control of electrically driven robotic manipulators using an uncertainty estimator. The proposed control method can be used for performing repetitive motion, which covers many industrial applications of robotic manipulators. This kind of control law is in the class of torque-based control in which the joint torques are generated by permanen...

The associations between pubertal timing, sexual activity and self-reported depression were analysed in a population sample of 17,082 girls and 15,922 boys aged 14-16 as a par of a classroom survey. Pubertal timing was assessed by age at onset of menstruation (menarche) or ejaculations (oigarche). Sexual experiences elicited included kissing, light petting, heavy petting and intercourse. Self-r...

The influence of Parmigiano Reggiano (P.R.) cheese on copulatory behavior was studied in male rats. Sexually naїve, sluggish and potent rats were chronically fed with a diet of P.R. cheese for 10 d. Mount, intromission, ejaculation latencies and the percentage of mounting and ejaculating animals were recorded during the mating test. Microdialysis technique was used to detect the extracellular l...
