A basic postulate of reinforcement theories of attraction is that association of reward with a neutral stimulus person induces liking. The strongest support for this association principle is a study by Griffitt and Guay in which Ss' liking for an evaluator and a third party observer was directly related to the positive or negative nature of the evaluations. An alternative interpretation of these results is that actors like persons who perceive them as competent, because such esteem serves as a power base for future influence. A test of the competing hypotheses was carried out in a 2 × 2 factorial design in which Ss (N = 60 male undergraduates) received positive or negative evaluations in the presence of a third party who either did or did not observe the evaluations. The results clearly supported a power resource theory of attraction.

Background: Femoral condyle insufficiency fractures following total knee arthroplasty (FCIF-TKA) are rare but significant complications. These fractures, characterized by atraumatic bone insufficiency near the femoral component, present unique challenges in postoperative care, often necessitating femoral component revision.
Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 835 primary total knee arthroplasties performed by a single surgeon, identifying six cases of FCIF-TKA.

Introduction: Organ transplant recipients face a substantial risk of developing posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD). In over 90% of cases with B-cell PTLD following solid organ transplantation, the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome is promptly identified, usually within the initial year. A continuing discussion revolves around the efficacy of antiviral prophylaxis in mitigating the incidence of PTLD in solid organ transplant (SOT) patients.
