Exercise-induced pain intensity predicted by pre-exercise fear of pain and pain sensitivity.
(Clin J Pain, 2011-06)
OBJECTIVES: Our primary goals were to determine whether preexisting fear of pain and
pain sensitivity contributed to post-exercise pain intensity. METHODS: Delayed-onset
muscle pain was induced in the trunk extensors of ...
Hypertension and obesity as cardiovascular risk factors among HIV seropositive patients in Western Kenya.
(PLoS One, 2011)
BACKGROUND: There is increased risk of cardiovascular disease among HIV seropositive
individuals. The prevalence of HIV is highest in sub-Saharan Africa; however, HIV-related
cardiovascular risk research is largely derived ...
Losses of expected lifetime in the United States and other developed countries: methods and empirical analyses.
(Demography, 2011-02)
Patterns of diversity in age at death are examined using e (†), a dispersion measure
that equals the average expected lifetime lost at death. We apply two methods for
decomposing differences in e (†). The first method estimates ...
An experience-sampling study of depressive symptoms and their social context.
(J Nerv Ment Dis, 2011-06)
Both clinical and subclinical depression are associated with social impairment; however,
few studies have examined the impact of social contact in the daily lives of people
with depressive symptoms. The current study used ...
Magnitude of spinal muscle damage is not statistically associated with exercise-induced low back pain intensity.
(Spine J, 2011-12)
BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Findings on imaging of noncontractile anatomic abnormalities and
the intensity of low back pain have weak associations because of false-positive rates
among asymptomatic individuals. This association ...
Rapid modulation of sensory processing induced by stimulus conflict.
(J Cogn Neurosci, 2011-09)
Humans are constantly confronted with environmental stimuli that conflict with task
goals and can interfere with successful behavior. Prevailing theories propose the
existence of cognitive control mechanisms that can suppress ...
The association of HIV counseling and testing with HIV risk behaviors in a random population-based survey in Kisumu, Kenya.
(AIDS Behav, 2011-05)
HIV testing has been promoted as a key HIV prevention strategy in low-resource settings,
despite studies showing variable impact on risk behavior. We sought to examine rates
of HIV testing and the association between testing ...
The role of stimulus salience and attentional capture across the neural hierarchy in a stop-signal task.
(PLoS One, 2011)
Inhibitory motor control is a core function of cognitive control. Evidence from diverse
experimental approaches has linked this function to a mostly right-lateralized network
of cortical and subcortical areas, wherein a ...
The coherence of memories for trauma: evidence from posttraumatic stress disorder.
(Conscious Cogn, 2011-09)
Participants with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and participants with a trauma
but without PTSD wrote narratives of their trauma and, for comparison, of the most-important
and the happiest events that occurred within ...
Functional neuroimaging of emotionally intense autobiographical memories in post-traumatic stress disorder.
(J Psychiatr Res, 2011-05)
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects regions that support autobiographical
memory (AM) retrieval, such as the hippocampus, amygdala and ventral medial prefrontal
cortex (PFC). However, it is not well understood ...
