We describe a novel soft jacket and sling-harness restraint that permits species-typical postures for small-bodied primates, such as the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus), during long-term (>6 h), continuous restraint. The restraint system is straightforward to use and manipulate, it is easily repaired, and the materials used are readily available. The soft jacket allows for increased versat...

Despite the existence of laws in all 50 states requiring the use of car safety seats or child restraint devices for young children, more children are still killed as passengers in car crashes than from any other type of injury. Pediatricians and other health care professionals need to provide up-to-date, appropriate information for parents regarding car safety seat choices and proper use. Altho...

From 1980 to 1990, safety-belt use among passenger-vehicle drivers in the United States increased from 11% to 49%; in 1990, use of safety belts prevented approximately 4800 deaths and 120,000 serious injuries among front-seat occupants (1). The increased use of safety belts from 1984 through 1990 was associated primarily with the enactment of state laws (Figure 1). In recent years, however, the...

A constitution is a body of laws that composed various branches which exist as the legal source its powers. These are designed to regulate by defining role executive, legislature and judiciary, three organs government Baron Montesquieu defined necessary in constitution. The constitutional can be evaluated on capacity (i) maintain rule law, (ii) preserve an electoral mechanism for political demo...

OBJECTIVE To put into relationship the dietary and anthropometric profile of men and women with their eating behaviors (cognitive dietary restraint, disinhibition, and susceptibility to hunger) and to assess whether gender and obesity status influence these associations. RESEARCH METHODS AND PROCEDURES Anthropometric measurements (including visceral adipose tissue accumulation), dietary profi...

OBJECTIVES Examine the association between components of restrained eating, cognitive performance and weight loss maintenance. METHODS 106 women, all members of a commercial slimming organisation for at least 6 months (mean±SD: 15.7±12.4 months), were studied who, having lost 10.1±9.7 kg of their initial weight, were hoping to sustain their weight loss during the 6 month study. Dietary restra...

In mammals, procedures such as handling, restraint, or exposure to open spaces induces an increase in body temperature (T(b)). The increase in temperature shares some characteristics with pyrogen-induced fever and so is often called "stress fever." Birds also respond to acute handling with a stress fever, which may confound thermoregulatory studies that involve animal restraint. We have measure...
