The effects of power posing on neuroendocrine levels and risk-taking.
BMC Psychol
December 2024
Center for Psychobiological Research, The Max Stern Academic College of Emek Yezreel, Emek Yezreel, Israel.
Background: The current study attempted to replicate the original findings regarding the effects of power posing on testosterone and cortisol levels, risk-taking behavior, and perceived power. We further extended the investigation by testing the effect of power posing on estradiol and progesterone levels.
Methods: A sample of 92 young adults (30 males; 32 females taking oral contraceptives; and 30 females not taking oral contraceptives who were in their midluteal phase) were randomly assigned to high-power-pose or low-power-pose conditions and asked about their feelings of power.

Clinical Guidelines for Management of Infants Born before 25 Weeks of Gestation: How Representative Is the Current Evidence?
J Pediatr
November 2024
Newborn Services and Newborn Research, Royal Women's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia; Department of Obstetrics, Gynaecology and Newborn Health, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia; Department of Clinical Sciences, Murdoch Children's Research Institute, Melbourne, Australia.
Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluates if major management guidelines for extremely preterm infants are effectively applicable to those born before 25 weeks' gestation by reviewing three significant sets of guidelines and their referenced studies.
- - Out of 519 studies analyzed, only about 14.5% of infants were under 25 weeks, with a significant portion of the research, 37.8%, not including any infants from this critical group.
- - The findings conclude that infants born before 25 weeks gestation are underrepresented in the data driving clinical guidelines, highlighting the need for more focused research on this vulnerable population.
