Gender Differences in Moral Influences on Adolescents' Eyewitness Identification.

In this study, 232 (89 11- to 12-year-olds, 71 13- to 14-year-olds; 72 15- to 16-year-olds) students recruited from grades 6th-11th in an urban public high school participated in a study of eyewitness identification. The focus of this study was on the effects of age, gender and moral orientation on decisional bias and, as a secondary outcome, on accuracy (using signal detection analysis).The primary purpose of this and previous studies in this series is to uncover implicit moral decision-making in decisional bias.

Cardiorespiratory responses to table tennis in low-fit coronary patients and implications for exercise training.

Racquet sports may evoke excessive aerobic and/or cardiac demands for many coronary patients with impaired cardiorespiratory fitness. We evaluated the cardiorespiratory and hemodynamic responses to table tennis in clinically stable patients with coronary disease. Low-risk cardiac men (n = 10, mean ± SD, age = 67.

Lower than predicted resting metabolic rate is associated with severely impaired cardiorespiratory fitness in obese individuals.

Obese individuals have reduced cardiorespiratory fitness as compared with leaner counterparts. Regular exercise maintains or increases fitness and lean body mass. Lean body mass, in turn, has a direct impact on resting metabolic rate (RMR).

Audiocardiography in the cardiovascular evaluation of the morbidly obese.

Morbid obesity is believed to limit cardiovascular auscultation. We compared audiocardiography to senior attending physicians using conventional stethoscopes in 190 individuals with morbid obesity. Overall, there were 128 (67.

Development of an Abbott ARCHITECT cyclosporine immunoassay without metabolite cross-reactivity.

Objective: We investigated the mechanism by which the ARCHITECT cyclosporine (CsA) chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay (CMIA) eliminates cross-reactivity to CsA metabolites AM1 and AM9, despite its use of a monoclonal antibody which shows cross-reactivity in fluorescence polarization immunoassays.

Design And Methods: The CMIA was accomplished by incubating an extracted blood sample with magnetic microparticles coated with a very low amount of anti-CsA antibody. After a wash step the microparticles were incubated with a chemiluminescent CsA tracer, followed by a second wash step and measurement of chemiluminescence.
