This study attempts to determine whether the presentation of an experimentally manipulated somatic experience during a physically strenuous task can influence physical performance and symptom reporting. The study also compares the relative influence of experimentally manipulated somatic information (state somatization) with stable individual differences in the tendency to amplify physical sympt...

The Zung-Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) was distributed to 28,588 first-year university students. Factor analysis using PROMAX rotation revealed three factors interpretable as affective, cognitive, and somatic symptoms. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a goodness-of-fit index of 0.976 and an adjusted goodness-of-fit index of 0.967. The two sexes exhibited virtually the same factor st...

BACKGROUND Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a frequent comorbidity in Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) patients with a higher functional bowel disorder severity index (FBDSI). We tested the possibility that mild to severe IBS patients without FMS would have a graduated visceral and somatic perception, and the presence of FMS would further enhance somatic, but conversely attenuate visceral perceptio...

This study was carried out to determine the effects of replacement wheat flour with middling (WM) and supplemental phosphorus at a level 1% on growth nutrient utilization, whole body, fillet, viscera liver proximate compositions in turbot, (Scophthalmus maximus Linnaeus, 1758). The control diet based mixture three fish meals flour. Fish an average initial weight 266.67±0.72 g were fed experimen...

abstract in this research, the effects of ba with different concentrations (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 mg/l) in combination with iba (0, 0.01 and 0.1 mg/l) on bud growth and shoot proliferation and tdz with different concentrations (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/l) in combination with 0 and 0.5 mg/l iba on somatic embryogenesis from different parts of immature cotyledons (proximal, median and distal) w...

background: ornithobilharziosis as one of the parasitic infections may give rise to serious economic problems in animal husbandry. the aim of the study was to prepare and compare the somatic and excretory-secretory (es) antigens of o. tur­kestanicum in gel diffusion test. methods: excretory-secretory (es) and somatic antigens of ornithobilharzia turkestanicum were prepared from collected worms ...

frequency of somaclonal variation in embryogenic calli and plants of olea europaea l cv.kroneiki derived from somatic embryogenesis were examined by randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) analysis. radicle and cotyledon (proximal part) of mature zygotic embryo were cultured in omc medium supplemented with iba (5 mgl-1) and 2-ip (0.5 mgl-1). somatic embryogenesis was induced in calli of radic...

Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is the tendency to interpret anxiety-related bodily sensations in a threatening way. Previous research in a subclinical population identified AS as a vulnerability factor in flight phobia: AS moderates the relationship between somatic sensations and flight anxiety. The present study aimed at gaining further evidence for the moderational role of AS in a large clinical po...

Traumatized adolescents have pervasive problems with self-regulation and often have difficulties in languagebased treatment models. This paper provides preliminary empirical support for the efficacy of Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Treatment (SMART), a treatment model which targets somatic regulation as an avenue to behavioral and emotional regulation. A case vignette illustrates the interve...

Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is the fear of anxiety-related sensations based on beliefs about their harmful consequences. Despite its status as the most popular measure of AS, the anxiety sensitivity index is too abbreviated to adequately measure the somatic, cognitive, and social facets of the construct. The Anxiety Sensitivity Index - Revised (ASI-R) is a revised and expanded version of the ASI t...
