Despite the high prevalence of sexual objectification, the understanding of gender differences in its victimization and perpetration remains limited. We bridged victim and perpetrator perspectives, expecting that objectification victimization positively predicts perpetration, and investigated the mediating role of social dominance orientation (SDO), and gender and perceived social mobility as moderators. Participants (valid N = 530) completed measures of sexual objectification victimization, perceived social mobility, SDO, and sexual objectification perpetration.

However, in this patient population, there are two contentious questions: how are the respiratory dynamics of mechanical ventilation impacted by the presence of dialysate within the abdomen, and what can be done to mitigate these potential effects? This review discusses the theoretical impact of PD on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and evidence for the effect of IAP on respiratory mechanics in mechanically ventilated PD patients.
