Similar Strength and Power Adaptations between Two Different Velocity-Based Training Regimens in Collegiate Female Volleyball Players.

This study investigated the effects of two different velocity-based training (VBT) regimens on muscular adaptations. Fifteen female college volleyball players were randomly assigned into either progressive velocity-based training (PVBT) or optimum training load (OTL). Both groups trained three times a week for seven weeks.

Predictors of adherence to atypical antipsychotics (risperidone or olanzapine) in older patients with schizophrenia: an open study of 3(1/2) years duration.

Objective: Although the evidence base for the use of antipsychotics in older people with schizophrenia is generally of low quality, it tends to support the use of atypical antipsychotics. Only limited information regarding longer term adherence to these apparently more effective drugs is available. The aim of this study was to determine predictors of adherence to risperidone or olanzapine in patients over 60.

Coupling between positron-atom scattering channels above the first inelastic threshold.

Experimentally determined cross sections for the elastic scattering of positrons by argon and xenon atoms have been found to exhibit a steplike increase at the first inelastic threshold energy--i.e., that for positronium formation.

Psychosis and depression associated with alteration to amiodarone therapy.

Presented is a case study of a seventy five year old man who experienced psychosis and depression related to the onset and termination of amiodarone therapy. The study looks at the pharmacology of amiodarone and the mechanisms that may have led to the emergence of these symptoms. It also raises the issue of making a careful assessment of a patient's life event history in that life events that may not be classically regarded as significant life events may be important in the precipitation of mental illness.
