The interrelationship between coping strategies and sexual functioning in in vitro fertilization patients.

This study examined the correlation between various coping strategies and sexual functioning and the likelihood of conception from in vitro fertilization (IVF). Self-reported questionnaires were distributed randomly among the 102 women enrolled in an IVF program, 96 of whom were recruited. Of the studied parameters, positive reinterpretation, and growth, and active coping strategies were found to be positively associated with sexual functioning, while there was a significantly (p < .

A conformational study of beta-phenethanolamine receptor sites. 8. Pharmacological study of 3-isopropylamino-2-phenyl-trans-2-decalols.

Two N-isopropylnorephedrines and their four possible decalol analogs were compared pharmacologically. Four of the six compounds at a concentration of 1 x 10(-4) M caused a potentiation of D(-)-norepinephrine (NE) contraction of the rat vas deferens and increased the maximal response of the preparation to NE. Pretreatment in vivo with reserpine (5 mg/kg ip) 24 hr before the experiment in vitro did not change these effects.

Interaction between aluminum and calcium ions in potassium chloride depolarized gastrointestinal smooth muscle.

Aluminum chloride (5 times 10-minus 4 M) abolished the inhibitory effects of papaverine chloride (1.5 times 10- minus 5 M) on contractions of guinea-pig ileum and rat colon evoked by calcium in Tyrode's solution containing high KC1. The inhibitory effects of cocaine hydrochloride (10- minus 3 M) and MgSO4 (2 times 10- minus 2 M) were not antagonized.
