Abstract
The world’s ever-growing population presents a major challenge in providing sustainable food options and in reducing pressures on the Earth’s agricultural land and freshwater resources. Current estimates suggest that agriculture contributes ~30% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Additionally, there is an increased demand for animal protein, the production of which is particularly polluting. Therefore, the climate-disrupting potential of feeding the planet is likely to substantially worsen in the future. Due to the nutritional value of animal-based protein, it is not a simple solution to recommend a wholesale reduction in production/consumption of animal proteins. Rather, employing strategies which result in the production of low carbon animal protein may be part of the solution to reduce the GHGs associated with our diets without compromising diet quality. We suggest that farmed mussels may present a partial solution to this dilemma. Mussel production has a relatively low GHG production and does not put undue pressure on land or fresh water supplies. By drawing comparisons to other protein sources using the Australian Food and Nutrient Database and other published data, we demonstrate that they are a sustainable source of high-quality protein, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, phytosterols, and other key micronutrients such as B-12 and iron. The aim of this review is to summarise the current knowledge on the health benefits and potential risks of increasing the consumption of farmed mussels.

Abstract
Fractures of the mandibular condyle are common and include diacapitular fractures that affect the condylar head. The medial part of the condylar head is least commonly fractured, possibly due to decreased propensity for lines of force to run in the region. Micro-computed tomography (X-ray microtomography) of five temporomandibular joint specimens was conducted to explore whether trabecular bone structure correlates positively with fracture prevalence, which could reflect adaptation in response to lower exposure to physiological loads throughout life. Models of trabecular bone, and graphic representation of bone density indicated least dense bone medially, but a statistically significant ANOVA result was not obtained. Further study is required to verify whether a relationship between bone microstructure and fracture frequency exists, and whether or not this is the product of association between the directions of physiological and traumatic forces.

Abstract
Walsh, JA, Sanders, D, Hamilton, DL, and Walshe, I. Sleep profiles of elite swimmers during different training phases. J Strength Cond Res 33(3): 811-818, 2019-This study aims to describe the sleeping patterns during different training phases in competitive swimmers. Twelve national- and international-level swimmers (3 females and 9 males) were monitored during 4 different phases, consisting of a preparation training phase, a taper phase, a competition phase, and a rest phase. Sleep parameters were assessed using wrist activity monitors and self-reported sleep diaries. There was a moderately higher (d = 0.70-1.00) sleep onset latency during the competition phase compared with taper, train, and rest phases. Trivial to small differences were observed for total sleep time between phases (d = 0.05-0.40). Sleep efficiency was moderately higher (d = 0.60-0.75) in the training and taper phases compared with competition and rest. Restfulness and fragmentation index (FI) were lowest in the rest with differences between phases being small (d = 0.43-0.51) for restfulness and small to moderate (d = 0.43-0.62) for FI. Time in and out of bed was very largely later (d = 1.96-2.34) in rest compared with the other phases. Total nap time was moderately lower in rest (d = 1.13-1.18) compared with the training and competition phases, whereas there was a small difference (d = 0.46) compared with taper. To conclude, while there were trivial to small differences in sleep quantity between phases, there are small to moderate differences in other sleep parameters. Specifically, sleep onset latency was higher during the competition phase. In addition, this study highlights the substantial between-individual variations in sleep responses during different training phases.

Abstract
Background: A detrimental consequence of diet-induced weight loss, common in athletes who participate in weight cutting sports, is muscle loss. Dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3PUFA) exhibit a protective effect on the loss of muscle tissue during catabolic situations such as injury-simulated leg immobilization. This study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary n-3PUFA supplementation on changes in body composition and muscle strength following short-term diet-induced weight loss in resistance-trained men. Methods: Twenty resistance-trained young (23 ± 1 years) men were randomly assigned to a fish oil group that supplemented their diet with 4 g n-3PUFA, 18 g carbohydrate, and 5 g protein (FO) or placebo group containing an equivalent carbohydrate and protein content (CON) over a 6 week period. During weeks 1-3, participants continued their habitual diet. During week 4, participants received all food items to control energy balance and a macronutrient composition of 50% carbohydrate, 35% fat, and 15% protein. During weeks 5 and 6, participants were fed an energy-restricted diet equivalent to 60% habitual energy intake. Body composition and strength were measured during weeks 1, 4, and 6. Results: The decline in total body mass (FO = -3.0 ± 0.3 kg, CON = -2.6 ± 0.3 kg), fat free mass (FO = -1.4 ± 0.3 kg, CON = -1.2 ± 0.3 kg) and fat mass (FO = -1.4 ± 0.2 kg, CON = -1.3 ± 0.3 kg) following energy restriction was similar between groups (all p > 0.05; d: 0.16-0.39). Non-dominant leg extension 1 RM increased (6.1 ± 3.4%) following energy restriction in FO (p < 0.05, d = 0.29), with no changes observed in CON (p > 0.05, d = 0.05). Dominant leg extension 1 RM tended to increase following energy restriction in FO (p = 0.09, d = 0.29), with no changes in CON (p > 0.05, d = 0.06). Changes in leg press 1 RM, maximum voluntary contraction and muscular endurance following energy restriction were similar between groups (p > 0.05, d = 0.05). Conclusion: Any possible improvements in muscle strength during short-term weight loss with n-3PUFA supplementation are not related to the modulation of FFM in resistance-trained men.

Abstract
Numerous United Kingdom and European Union expert panels recommend that the general adult population consumes ~250 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) per day through the consumption of one portion of oily fish per week. The long-chain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are only found in appreciable amounts in marine organisms. Increasing oily fish consumption conflicts with sustaining fisheries, so alternative dietary sources of EPA and DHA must be explored. Mussels are high in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and a good source of essential amino acids. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the impact of introducing mussels as a protein source in the lunchtime meal three times per week for two weeks on the omega-3 status of free-living participants. Following an initial two-week monitoring period, 12 participants (eight male and four female) attended the nutrition laboratory three times per week for two weeks. Each participant received a personalised lunch constituting one-third of their typical daily calorie consumption with ~20% of the calories supplied as cooked mussels. A portion of cooked mussels from each feeding occasion was tested for total omega-3 content. The mean ± SD mussel EPA + DHA content was 518.9 ± 155.7 mg/100 g cooked weight, meaning that each participant received on average 709.2 ± 252.6 mg of EPA + DHA per meal or 304.0 ± 108.2 mg of EPA + DHA per day. Blood spot analysis revealed a significant increase in the omega-3 index (week 1 = 4.27 ± 0.81; week 4 = 5.07 ± 1.00) and whole blood EPA content during the study (%EPA week 1 = 0.70 ± 0.0.35; %EPA week 4 = 0.98 ± 0.35). Consuming mussels three times per week for two weeks as the protein source in a personalised lunchtime meal is sufficient to moderately improve the omega-3 index and whole blood DHA + EPA content in young healthy adults.

Abstract
Despite over 50 years of research, the field of sports nutrition continues to grow at a rapid rate. Whilst the traditional research focus was one that centred on strategies to maximise competition performance, emerging data in the last decade has demonstrated how both macronutrient and micronutrient availability can play a prominent role in regulating those cell signalling pathways that modulate skeletal muscle adaptations to endurance and resistance training. Nonetheless, in the context of exercise performance, it is clear that carbohydrate (but not fat) still remains king and that carefully chosen ergogenic aids (e.g. caffeine, creatine, sodium bicarbonate, beta-alanine, nitrates) can all promote performance in the correct exercise setting. In relation to exercise training, however, it is now thought that strategic periods of reduced carbohydrate and elevated dietary protein intake may enhance training adaptations whereas high carbohydrate availability and antioxidant supplementation may actually attenuate training adaptation. Emerging evidence also suggests that vitamin D may play a regulatory role in muscle regeneration and subsequent hypertrophy following damaging forms of exercise. Finally, novel compounds (albeit largely examined in rodent models) such as epicatechins, nicotinamide riboside, resveratrol, β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate, phosphatidic acid and ursolic acid may also promote or attenuate skeletal muscle adaptations to endurance and strength training. When taken together, it is clear that sports nutrition is very much at the heart of the Olympic motto, Citius, Altius, Fortius (faster, higher, stronger).

Abstract
Oral gallium maltolate (GaM) pharmacokinetics (PK) and intestinal tissue (IT) concentrations of elemental gallium ([Ga]) and iron ([Fe]) were investigated in a rabbit model of equine proliferative enteropathy (EPE). New Zealand white does (uninfected controls and EPE-infected, n = 6/group) were given a single oral GaM dose (50 mg/kg). Serial blood samples were collected from 0 to 216 h post-treatment (PT) and IT samples after euthanasia. Serology, qPCR, and immunohistochemistry confirmed, or excluded, EPE. Blood and IT [Ga] and [Fe] were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. PK parameters were estimated through noncompartmental approaches. For all statistical comparisons on [Ga] and [Fe] α = 5%. The Ga log-linear terminal phase rate constant was lower in EPE rabbits vs. uninfected controls [0.0116 ± 0.004 (SD) vs. 0.0171 ± 0.0028 per hour; P = 0.03]; but half-life (59.4 ± 24.0 vs. 39.4 ± 10.8 h; P = 0.12); Cmax (0.50 ± 0.21 vs. 0.59 ± 0.42 μg/mL; P = 0.45); tmax (1.75 ± 0.41 vs. 0.9 ± 0.37 h; P = 0.20); and oral clearance (6.743 ± 1.887 vs. 7.208 ± 2.565 L/h; P = 0.74) were not. IT's [Ga] and [Fe] were higher (P < 0.0001) in controls. In conclusion, although infection reduces IT [Ga] and [Fe], a 48 h GaM dosing interval is appropriate for multidose studies in EPE rabbits.

Abstract
Myostatin is a TGFβ family member and negative regulator of muscle size. Due to the complexity of the molecular pathway between myostatin mRNA/protein and changes in transcription, it has been difficult to understand whether myostatin plays a role in resistance exercise-induced skeletal muscle hypertrophy. To circumvent this problem, we determined the expression of a unique myostatin target gene, Mighty, following resistance exercise. Mighty mRNA increased by 6 h (82.9 ± 24.21%) and remained high out to 48 h (56.5 ± 19.67%) after resistance exercise. Further examination of the soleus, plantaris and tibialis anterior muscles showed that the change in Mighty mRNA at 6 h correlated with the increase in muscle size associated with this protocol (R(2) = 0.9996). The increase in Mighty mRNA occurred both independent of Smad2 phosphorylation and in spite of an increase in myostatin mRNA (341.8 ± 147.14% at 3 h). The myostatin inhibitor SKI remained unchanged. However, activated Notch, another potential inhibitor of TGFβ signaling, increased immediately following resistance exercise (83 ± 11.2%) and stayed elevated out to 6 h (78 ± 16.6%). Electroportion of the Notch intracellular domain into the tibialis anterior resulted in an increase in Mighty mRNA (63 ± 13.4%) that was equivalent to the canonical Notch target HES-1 (94.4 ± 7.32%). These data suggest that acute resistance exercise decreases myostatin signaling through the activation of the TGFβ inhibitor Notch resulting in a decrease in myostatin transcriptional activity that correlates well with muscle hypertrophy.

Recent studies have defined posttranslational modification by prolyl hydroxylation as a key regulatory event that targets HIF-alpha subunits for proteasomal destruction via the von Hippel-Lindau ubiquitylation complex. Here, we define a conserved HIF-VHL-prolyl hydroxylase pathway in C. elegans, and use a genetic approach to identify EGL-9 as a dioxygenase that regulates HIF by prolyl hydroxylation. In mammalian cells, we show that the HIF-prolyl hydroxylases are represented by a series of isoforms bearing a conserved 2-histidine-1-carboxylate iron coordination motif at the catalytic site. Direct modulation of recombinant enzyme activity by graded hypoxia, iron chelation, and cobaltous ions mirrors the characteristics of HIF induction in vivo, fulfilling requirements for these enzymes being oxygen sensors that regulate HIF.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Whether propofol contributes a direct negative inotropic effect is controversial. Our principal aim in this study was to determine whether negative inotropic effects of propofol occur at clinically relevant concentrations. We constructed the concentration-response relationship for the negative inotropic effects on intact, isolated, stimulated rat ventricular myocytes. Contraction was measured as cell shortening by using an optical system. Propofol was applied as dilutions of the commercial preparation in physiological saline solution. The drug vehicle had a minimal effect on myocyte contractility. Propofol produced a concentration-dependent reduction in evoked contraction at concentrations greater than 5 microM. The maximum effect was observed at >100 microM, with the K(0.5) calculated to be 34.5 microM (95% CI, 21.8-54.7 microM). In further experiments, we investigated the relationship between changes in contractility and changes in Ca(2+) transient (measured by using fura-2 fluorescence) after the application of propofol. By using the shift in the relationship of the cell length to fura-2 fluorescence ratio in the relaxation phase of a contraction as an index of Ca(2+) response of the myofilaments, we demonstrated that some of the negative inotropic effect of propofol may be caused by a reduction in myofilament Ca(2+) sensitivity. We confirmed this by comparing the reduction in contractility in the presence of propofol with that caused by reducing the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration. We observed that, for a decrease in the fura-2 fluorescence ratio of 21%, propofol caused a 12% (95% CI, 2% to 22%) greater reduction in contractility than predicted from reducing the extracellular Ca(2+) concentration. However, the K(0.5) for the negative inotropic effect of propofol we observed is more than 80 times the 50% effective concentration value for anesthesia. The potential relevance of these findings for clinical use of propofol in humans is discussed. IMPLICATIONS By using intact, isolated rat heart ventricle cells, we investigated the mechanisms and concentration dependence of the depressant effect of propofol on contractility of the heart. We conclude that direct effects of propofol on the heart are unlikely to be of significance at the clinical dosage usually given.

Abstract
Three studies examined perceptions of the entitativity of groups. In Study 1 (U.S.) and Study 2 (Poland), participants rated a sample of 40 groups on 8 properties of groups (e.g., size, duration, group member similarity) and perceived entitativity. Participants also completed a sorting task in which they sorted the groups according to their subjective perceptions of group similarity. Correlational and regression analyses were used to determine the group properties most strongly related to entitativity. Clustering and multidimensional scaling analyses in both studies identified 4 general types of groups (intimacy groups, task groups, social categories, and loose associations). In Study 3, participants rated the properties of groups to which they personally belonged. Study 3 replicated the results of Studies 1 and 2 and demonstrated that participants most strongly valued membership in groups that were perceived as high in entitativity.

Abstract
The effect of segregated early weaning (SEW) on postweaning small intestinal development was investigated in SEW and control (CON) pigs. Small intestines were collected from a total of 15 pigs killed at 11 (preweaning), 15 (3 d postweaning), and 34 d of age. At 3 d postweaning, the SEW and CON pigs had shorter villi (P<.01), deeper crypts (P<.01), and reduced (P<.01) ratios of villus height:crypt depth (V:C) compared with preweaning. Weaning also reduced specific activities of lactase (P<.01) in duodenum and ileum and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (P<.05) in duodenum and jejunum. Sucrase activity in the three regions of the small intestine marginally decreased in both groups at 3 d postweaning. The mucosal protein:DNA ratio in duodenum and jejunum increased (P<.05) in SEW and CON pigs at 3 d postweaning compared with preweaning pigs. The SEW and CON treatments resulted in differences in postweaning gut development. At 15 d of age in SEW pigs, the mucosal protein:DNA ratio in duodenum and jejunum were 20 and 25.5% (P<.05) less, respectively, than those in CON pigs. However, at 34 d, these ratios in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum were 43.5 (P<.05), 24.3, and 32.9% (P<.05) greater, respectively, in SEW pigs than in CON pigs. Longer villi, shorter crypts (P<.01), and higher V:C ratios (P<.01) in jejunum and ileum were observed in SEW pigs vs CON pigs at 34 d of age. The specific activities of lactase in duodenum (P<.01) and jejunum (P<.05) and of ALP in duodenum (P<.01) were higher in SEW pigs. Sucrase activity in duodenum, jejunum, and ileum was 21.7, 46.3 (P<.05), and 11.2% greater in SEW pigs at 34 d of age. These results demonstrate differences in postweaning gut development between SEW and CON pigs. Furthermore, the number of intraepithelial lymphocytes in jejunum was greater (P<.001) in 34-d-old SEW pigs compared with CON pigs. Microscopy revealed a thick mucus coating over epithelial cells in the ileum of 34-d-old CON pigs that was not apparent in the SEW pigs. These observations are consistent with reduced pathogen exposure associated with SEW. We suggest that segregated early weaning advances postweaning gut maturation, which is consistent with improved growth and feed efficiency observed in SEW pigs.

Abstract
The anatomy of the internal carotid and maxillary arteries was examined using angiography, subtraction angiography and arterial cast preparations in three horses. Subtraction angiography was superior to angiography in demonstrating the anatomy of the occipital, external ophthalmic, ethmoidal and palatine arteries. In three horses manipulation of the internal carotid and occipital arteries during angiography resulted in vasospasm which prevented filling of these vessels with contrast. Direct arterial blood pressure measurements of the maxillary artery impinging on the guttural pouches was measured in four anaesthetized and standing horses. Arterial pressure recordings from the maxillary artery indicate there is retrograde blood flow from contralateral vessels into the occluded arterial segment. Vasospasm prevented measurement of arterial pressure in the internal carotid artery.

Abstract
We have described the concentration-dependent inotropic effects of halothane, isoflurane and sevoflurane on rat ventricular cells and investigated the role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in these inotropic actions. Single ventricular myocytes, isolated from rat hearts, were stimulated electrically at 1 Hz and contractions recorded optically. Cells were exposed to a range of concentrations of halothane, isoflurane or sevoflurane for a period of 1 min to determine the concentration-dependency of their inotropic actions. For each anaesthetic, the peak negative inotropic action was determined early during an exposure, and sustained negative inotropic action was measured at steady-state just before wash-off. In some experiments, cells were equilibrated with ryanodine 1 mumol litre-1 to investigate the role of the SR in these intropic effects. Halothane caused a concentration-dependent initial increase in contractions (to mean 130 (SEM 28)% at 10 mmol litre-1) followed by rapid onset of a negative inotropic effect (K0.5 0.34 mmol litre-1 for peak effect; K0.5 0.46 mmol litre-1 for sustained effect). Exposure to isoflurane induced a small potentiation of contractions in some cells, followed by a concentration-dependent decrease in contraction in all cells (K0.5 0.85 mmol litre-1 for peak effect; K0.5 1.92 mmol litre-1 for sustained effect); contractions recovered partially during a 1-min exposure. On wash-off, contractions were increased transiently above control. Sevoflurane caused a large initial decrease in contraction which then returned rapidly towards control (K0.5 0.2 mmol litre-1 for peak effect; K0.5 2.57 mmol litre-1 for sustained effect). In common with isoflurane, removal of sevoflurane caused a transient increase in contractions above control. After exposure to ryanodine, the positive inotropic effects of halothane and isoflurane did not occur, and recovery of contractions during exposure to isoflurane and sevoflurane was abolished as was the transient increase in contractions seen on wash-off, indicating that these effects were mediated via the SR. Halothane had the most potent sustained negative inotropic effect but there was little difference between the negative inotropic effects of isoflurane and sevoflurane at clinically relevant concentrations. At higher concentrations, sevoflurane caused a less potent negative inotropic effect than isoflurane. The SR plays a major role in the effects of all three anaesthetics. One possible mechanism underlying the initial potentiation of contraction by halothane (and isoflurane) may be sensitization of the Ca(2+)-induced Ca(2+)-release process of the SR.

Abstract
Two experiments investigated differences in forming impressions of individual and group targets. Experiment 1 showed that when forming an impression of an individual, perceivers made more extreme trait judgments, made those judgments more quickly and with greater confidence, and recalled more information than when the impression target was a group. Experiment 2 showed that when participants were forming an impression of an individual, expectancy-inconsistent behaviors spontaneously triggered causal attributions to resolve the inconsistency; this was not the case when the impression target was a group. Results are interpreted as reflecting perceivers' a priori assumptions of unity and coherence in individual versus group targets.

Abstract
This paper describes two otherwise unrelated cases of fatal haemopericardium resulting directly from attempted cannulation of the right subclavian vein. Although this is an extremely rare complication, it is essential that all physicians involved in establishing central venous access are aware of the danger of causing this condition, and how the use of a careful technique of insertion can minimize the risk.

Abstract
Tick bite anaphylaxis has rarely been reported. It may follow the bite of any of the different tick life cycle forms, is related to the release of salivary juices, and may range from mild itch to severe wheeze or shock. Data obtained suggest that it is more common and potentially life threatening than tick paralysis, which is more widely reported. Emergency physicians should recognise this possibility following a tick bite and be prepared to give treatment such as adrenaline rapidly. Patients should be referred to an allergist after recovery.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To investigate the hypothesis that the combination of ondansetron and droperidol would be more effective than droperidol alone in reducing nausea and vomiting. DESIGN Randomized, doubleblind study. SETTING Magee-Womens Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. PATIENTS 160 healthy, ASA physical status I and II, female patients scheduled for total abdominal hysterectomy. INTERVENTIONS After induction of anesthesia with propofol, Group 1 received intravenous (i.v.) droperidol 1.25 mg plus i.v. ondansetron 4 mg. Group 2 received i.v. droperidol plus i.v. saline. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS The complete response (no emesis, no rescue) for Group 1 was 36 of 80 patients (45%) versus 30 of 80 patients (38%) in Group 2 (p = 0.21). In Group 1, 42 of 80 patients (53%) required rescue antiemetic as compared with 44 of 80 patients (55%) in Group 2 (p = 0.43). There were 72 total rescues in Group 1 versus 73 in Group 2, (p = 0.24). Mean time until first rescue was 578 +/- 429 minutes in Group 1 and 418 +/- 354 minutes in Group 2, (p = 0.03). In Group 1, 81 % (34/42) were rescued for nausea only versus 90% (39/44) of Group 2 (p = 0.16). In Group 1, 21% of patients (17/80) had at least one emetic episode versus 34% (27/80) of Group 2 patients (p = 0.05). There were 31 emetic episodes in Group 1 versus 72 episodes in Group 2. (p = 0.02). Mean time to the first emetic episode was 699 +/- 403 minutes in Group 1 and 616 +/- 376 minutes in Group 2, (p = 0.23). CONCLUSION For patients undergoing total abdominal hysterectomies, the addition of ondansetron to droperidol increases the time until first rescue and reduces the number of emetic episodes, as well as the percentage of patients, having at least one emetic episode.

Abstract
It is hypothesized that perceptions of entitativity (i.e., seeing social targets as possessing unity and coherence) have important implications for how one organizes information about, and forms impressions of, individual and group targets. When perceivers expect entitativity, they should form an integrated impression of the target, resulting in on-line judgments. However, when perceivers expect little entitativity, they should not process target-relevant information in an integrative fashion, resulting in memory-based judgments. Although many factors affect perceptions of entitativity, the current study focused on expectations of similarity and behavioral consistency. It was predicted that in general, perceivers expect greater entitativity for individual than group targets. However, when explicitly provided with similar expectancies of entitativity, information processing would be similar for both individual and group targets. Two experiments supported these predictions, using recall, memory-judgment correlation, and illusory correlation measures.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis that for major gynecologic surgery the combination of propofol for induction, ondansetron, and dexamethasone would be a more effective antiemetic combination than propofol for induction, ondansetron, and saline; and to determine if a propofol induction of anesthesia improved our previously reported results when thiamylal was the induction drug. DESIGN Double-blind, randomized study. SETTING Magee-Womens Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. PATIENTS 80 healthy ASA physical status I, II, and III female inpatients scheduled for major gynecologic surgery. INTERVENTIONS After induction of anesthesia with propofol, Group 1 received intravenous (IV) ondansetron 4 mg and saline, and Group 2 received IV ondansetron 4 mg followed by IV dexamethasone 20 mg. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS For Group 1 and Group 2, respectively, no emesis and no rescue occurred in 15 (37.5%) and 21 (52.5%) patients (p = 0.13); emesis occurred in 7 (17.5%) Group 1 patients and 5 (12.5%) Group 2 patients, rescue antiemetic 23 (57.5%) Group 1 patients and 19 (47.5%) Group 2 patients. Nausea was reported by 31 (77.5%) Group 1 patients and 30 (75%) Group 2 patients. CONCLUSIONS The hypothesis that the addition of dexamethasone to the propofolondansetron combination would significantly reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was not confirmed. A propofol induction of anesthesia resulted in a comparable incidence of PONV when compared with our previously reported results using thiamylal for induction of anesthesia for women having major gynecologic operations.

Abstract
The antiemetic activity of droperidol is attributed to antagonizing the dopaminergic neurons of the chemoreceptor trigger zone. Ondansetron is a serotonin (5HT) receptor antagonist at both peripheral and central 5-HT3 receptor sites with no known action on dopamine-mediated activity. We hypothesized that the combination of these two antiemetics would be more effective than droperidol alone. Women with ASA classified physical status I or II, scheduled for laparoscopic tubal banding, participated in a randomized double-blind clinical trial using a standardized anesthesia regimen. Within 15 min after induction of anesthesia, Group 1 (n = 60) received IV droperidol 1.25 mg and ondansetron 4 mg and Group 2 (n = 60) received IV droperidol 1.25 mg and saline. Before surgery and during recovery at 1, 2, and 24 h, emetic episodes, nausea, pain, drowsiness, medications taken, and adverse events were recorded. The complete response (no emesis, no rescue) for Group 1 was 55 of 60 (91.6%) versus 47 of 60 (78.3%) in Group 2 (P = 0.04). No patient needed rescue antiemetic medication in Group 1, whereas 5 of 60 (8.3%) patients were rescued in Group 2 (P = 0.03). There were seven emetic episodes in five patients in Group 1 and 30 emetic episodes in 12 patients in Group 2 over the 24-h study period (P = 0.03). The time to the first emetic episode was more than twice as long for Group 1 than Group 2 (P = 0.03) and total nausea scores were lower in Group 1 than Group 2 (P = 0.01). The droperidol/ondansetron combination was significantly superior to droperidol in complete response, time to and number of emetic episodes, and the incidence and severity of nausea in women having tubal banding.

Abstract
The incongruency effect and the expectancy-based illusory correlation effect seem contradictory because they describe apparently contrasting consequences of previously held expectancies: better recall of incongruent than congruent items but overestimation of congruent items. This article resolves this dilemma by presenting a model that is able to simultaneously predict both of these effects. The Twofold Retrieval by Associative Pathways (TRAP) model adopts the encoding assumptions of person memory models but distinguishes between two different retrieval processes, exhaustive and heuristic, hypothesized to underlie recall and frequency estimation, respectively. Experiment 1 showed that expectancy-based illusory correlation effects and incongruency effects are compatible in that they were produced simultaneously. Experiments 2 and 3 tested and rejected alternative explanations for the obtained pattern of results.

Abstract
This article analyzes the similarities and differences in forming impressions of individuals and in developing conceptions of groups. In both cases, the perceiver develops a mental conception of the target (individual or group) on the basis of available information and uses that information to make judgments about that person or group. However, a review of existing evidence reveals differences in the outcomes of impressions formed of individual and group targets, even when those impressions are based on the very same behavioral information. A model is proposed to account for these differences. The model emphasizes the role of differing expectancies of unity and coherence in individual and group targets, which in turn engage different mechanisms for processing information and making judgments. Implications of the model are discussed.

Abstract
The prevailing explanation for illusory correlation in the stereotyping of groups is that distinctive information (minority groups' infrequent behaviors) is salient, receives enhanced encoding, and becomes highly accessible, thus biasing subsequent judgments. This distinctiveness-based explanation (DBE) depends on information distinctiveness at the time of its encoding. Information distinctiveness at encoding was manipulated, while ultimate distinctiveness was kept constant. Experiment 1, contrary to the DBE, found illusory correlations emerge regardless of distinctiveness at encoding. Experiment 2 collected process data that showed that ultimately distinctive behaviors were highly accessible at the time of judgment even when they were not distinctive at encoding. Experiments 3-5 ruled out an alternative account. A basis for illusory correlation that depends on postpresentation, but prejudgment, encoding of distinctive information is suggested.

Abstract
Ss were given instruction sets to induce either on-line or memory-based processing while reading behavioral statements about individual and group targets. Impression-set instructions induced online judgments, and comprehensibility-set (comp) instructions induced memory-based judgments regardless of target type. More important, with nondirective instructions (memory set), natural differences in processing information about individuals and groups were observed, with more online judgments for individuals. As expected, illusory correlations between minority targets and infrequent behaviors (a memory-based product) emerged with comp instructions (which induced memory-based judgments for both target types) and in the memory-set condition for group targets only. These data provide insights into the differences in impression formation for groups and individuals and furnish direct evidence of the processes responsible for illusory correlations.

Abstract
In 2 laboratory experiments, the tendency to stereotype oneself in terms of one's group membership as a function of the social context was examined. Experiment 1 examined the effects of relative in-group size on self-stereotyping. The results confirmed the prediction that minority members are more likely than majority members to stereotype themselves. Experiment 2 examined the interactive impact of relative in-group size and in-group status. As predicted, a high (relative to a low) status of the in-group increased self-stereotyping primarily for minority members, but not for majority members. Moreover, analyses of the differences in perceived in-group and out-group homogeneity suggest that the in-group homogeneity effect should also be interpreted in terms of self-stereotyping processes. Finally, the interplay between cognitive and motivational determinants of self-stereotyping is discussed as well as a possible distinction between self-stereotyping effects on individual level versus group level self-representations.

Abstract
The role of the submandibular salivary gland (SG) in the renal and extrarenal erythropoietin (Epo) response to hypoxia was evaluated in adult male mice with chronic renal failure from partial nephrectomy. A partial nephrectomy model for chronic renal failure was used in an attempt to evaluate erythropoiesis and Epo production in mice whose renal source of Epo may be compromised and thus more dependent on extrarenal sources. Mice with two-thirds of total renal mass excised developed a three-fold increase in serum creatinine concentration, polyuria, and polydipsia but not anemia. They responded to the combined challenge of hypobaric hypoxia (17 hours, 0.5 atm) and anemia from phenylhydrazine treatment (60 mg/kg intraperitoneally [i.p.]) with a consistent increase in serum Epo. This response was not affected by either acute or chronic bilateral submandibularectomy. However, bilateral submandibularectomy in mice with chronic renal failure was associated with a reduction in serum creatinine (p < 0.01). The possibility that reduction of renal mass might increase extrarenal secretion of Epo was examined in mice with chronic renal failure by removing the kidney remnant and exposing them to a severe hypoxic challenge. While acute bilateral submandibularectomy did not influence the extrarenal Epo response to severe hypoxia, mice with partial nephrectomies had a greater Epo response to hypoxia than control mice with a recent bilateral nephrectomy. In conclusion, the submandibular salivary glands do not appear to be an extrarenal source of Epo, nor do they appear to contribute to the enhanced extrarenal Epo response of mice with chronic renal failure.

Abstract
The role of the submandibular salivary gland in erythropoiesis in the male mouse (MRC TO strain) was evaluated by subjecting mice without submandibular salivary glands (SX) and control (C) sham-operated mice to a variety of stimuli intended to stress the erythropoietic system. In SX mice, after removal of the submandibular glands at age 4 weeks and observation for 8 weeks, mean hematocrit was the same as in C mice, but mean body weight was less. Bilateral removal of the submandibular glands at age 6 weeks neither affected the rate of fall and subsequent recovery of hematocrit which followed treatment with phenylhydrazine (80 mg/kg intraperitoneally [i.p.] 9 days after operation) nor altered the rate of increase in hematocrit or change in body weight which occurred during hypobaric hypoxia (0.5 atm, > 23 hours/day) for 23 days. Mean (SEM) estimates of serum immunoreactive erythropoietin after 17 hours' continuous hypobaric (0.5 atm) exposure were not significantly different between SX [186 (30) mU/mL, n = 7] and C mice [232 (17) mU/mL, n = 7]. In mice given bilateral nephrectomies at age 6 weeks--2 weeks after SX or C surgery--and then both treated with phenylhydrazine (60 mg/kg i.p.) and exposed for 17 hours to hypobaric (0.5 atm) hypoxia, mean estimates of serum immunoreactive erythropoietin were 22.6 (10.6) mU/mL and 22.3 (5.4) mU/mL in SX (n = 5) and C (n = 5) mice. Results of the study do not support the premise that the submandibular salivary glands either contribute to the erythropoietic response or are a source of extrarenal erythropoietin.

Abstract
Orocecal transit time was evaluated in 13 cats diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. Transit was determined by measuring the change in breath hydrogen and methane concentrations following oral administration of a nonabsorbable carbohydrate (lactulose). Transit times before and three to four weeks after treatment of the hyperthyroidism with radioactive iodine were compared. There was a significant prolongation of transit time, as determined by a change in hydrogen concentration, following correction of the hyperthyroidism (p = 0.034). Average transit times and standard errors were 27.7 +/- 3.7 minutes before treatment and 56.5 +/- 12.1 minutes after treatment. Methane was not detected in any of the samples. Hyperthyroidism appears to be associated with an accelerated small intestinal transit time in cats.

Abstract
The effect of thiamin on the organ distribution of lead was evaluated in CD-1 mice exposed intragastrically or intraperitoneally to a single dose of lead acetate (100 micrograms) containing 100 microCi lead 203. They were treated with either thiamin (25 or 50 mg/kg body weight), calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (CaEDTA) (50 mg/kg body weight), or combinations of thiamin and CaEDTA. The whole body retention and the organ distribution of lead 203 varied depending upon the route of lead administration, dose of thiamin and the specific treatment combination. Thiamin (25 or 50 mg/kg) treatment increased the whole body retention of both intragastric and intraperitoneal lead by approximately 10% in each instance. Calcium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, either alone or in combination with thiamin (50 mg/kg) reduced the whole body retention of lead by as much as 14% regardless of route of lead exposure. The relative retention of lead by the liver, kidney and spleen was greater in mice exposed to lead by the intragastric route. Regardless of route, CaEDTA in the combined treatment reduced the relative retention of lead in both the liver and kidney, whereas thiamin alone only reduced the retention of lead in the kidney. The results of this study indicate that thiamin in combination with CaEDTA alters the distribution and retention of lead in a manner which may have therapeutic application as it relates to chelation therapy.

Abstract
In 2 studies, the effects of mood on the formation of distinctiveness-based illusory correlations were examined. After exposure to stimuli inducing positive, neutral, or negative mood, Ss read information about behaviors performed by members of 2 groups in an illusory correlation paradigm. In both experiments, only Ss in a neutral mood formed illusory correlations. In addition, Experiment 2 assessed Ss' processing latencies as a means of investigating differential attention to distinctive behaviors. Only Ss in a neutral mood differentially attended to the minority group's infrequent behaviors. Induced mood apparently interfered with the processing necessary to differentially encode distinctive stimuli, undermining the illusory correlation effect.

Abstract
1. The relationship between force and intracellular [Ca2+] (monitored using the protein aequorin) has been investigated in papillary muscles isolated from ferret hearts, under control conditions (superfusate pH (pHo) 7.3) and during acidosis (pHo 6.8). 2. At pHo 7.3, increasing bathing [Ca2+] from 0.5 mmol l-1 to 8 mmol l-1 led to an increase in the size of the intracellular calcium transient. At the lower [Ca2+] this was accompanied by an increase in developed force; however, at the higher bathing [Ca2+] developed force reached a plateau. 3. Acidosis (produced by increasing the [CO2] of the gas with which the muscle superfusate was equilibrated) decreased maximum force and shifted the curve relating peak developed force to peak intracellular [Ca2+] to the right. 4. The mechanisms underlying the apparent decrease in the sensitivity of the contractile proteins to Ca2+ were investigated by applying rapid length changes to papillary muscles at control pHo, during acidosis, and after bathing [Ca2+] had been increased to match force during acidosis to that in control. 5. Acidosis decreased the change in force produced in response to a given length change (i.e. decreased muscle stiffness) but when bathing [Ca2+] was increased during acidosis, muscle stiffness returned to control. 6. Acidosis had no effect on muscle stiffness after the induction of rigor in the muscle (produced by metabolic inhibition). 7. It is suggested that in intact cardiac muscle the major effect of a mild acidosis is to decrease the sensitivity of the contractile proteins to Ca2+, hence decreasing the number of bound cross-bridges.

Abstract
The effects of thiamin on the whole body retention of led were evaluated in CD-1 mice treated intragastrically or intraperitoneally while exposed to a single dose of lead acetate (100 micrograms) containing 100 mu Ci lead-203. They were administered thiamin (25 or 50 mg/kg body wt.), calcium ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (CaEDTA) (50 mg/kg body wt.) or their combination in pretreatment or posttreatment regimens for 13 days. Both pre- and posttreatment with thiamin reduced the lead retention compared to the untreated lead-exposed mice, although the different patterns of lead retention were observed. The combined pretreatment (thiamin 50 mg/kg and CaEDTA) and the CaEDTA treatment alone reduced the whole body retention of lead most effectively. Thiamin, CaEDTA and the combined treatments decreased the absorption of lead-203 and the biological half-life of retained lead-203 following oral or intraperitoneal lead exposure. The reduced absorption and enhanced excretion of lead associated with thiamin administration may have therapeutic application for the treatment of lead poisoning.

Abstract
This research compared the processing and retrieval of attribution-relevant information when the attributional inference is easy or difficult to make. Subjects attributed behavioral events to the person or to the situation, based on several items of context information. Each context sentence implied either the person or the entity as causal agent. When the attributional inference was difficult to make (an equal number of context sentences implied actor and entity as the causal agent), subjects recalled more of the behavioral events, recalled more context sentences, and were less confident in their attributions than when the attributional inference was easy to make (most context sentences implied the same causal agent). Subjects also recalled context information that was implicationally incongruent with the majority of the other context sentences with a higher probability than when that same information was implicationally congruent.

Abstract
Two experiments investigated the organization in memory of expectancy-congruent and expectancy-incongruent information pertaining to multiple trait concepts in an impression-formation task. In Experiment 1, when multiple trait concepts were represented in the information describing the target person, both congruent and incongruent items reflecting the same trait concept were stored together and were directly associated in memory, and both types of items were recalled equally well. In Experiment 2, when only one trait concept was represented in the information, incongruent items were recalled with higher probability than congruent items, and the latter were not directly associated in memory. Results suggest that with increasing categorical complexity of stimulus information, processes are invoked that do not occur in simpler impression-formation contexts. Implications for theoretical models of person memory are discussed.

Abstract
Among 30 patients with islet cell neoplasms or hyperplasia who exhibited marked gastric acid hypersecretion and peptic ulceration and/or diarrhea, fasting plasma gastrin concentrations were less than 150 pg/ml in 11 patients, whereas the remaining 19 patients had hypergastrinemia. Plasma extracts from seven of these 11 patients were assayed for acid secretagogue activity in rats. All seven plasma extracts had secretagogue activity that was not found in the plasma extracts of ten patients with ordinary duodenal ulcer disease. Each of the tumor or pancreatic tissue extracts obtained from nine patients exhibited secretagogue activity in rats even though tissue gastrin content was 101.9 pmol (213.8 ng).g-1 or less. The secretagogue activity of the tumor extracts was confirmed in conscious gastric fistula dogs. The tumors' secretagogue activity, in contrast to gastrin, was destroyed by trypsin. It was eluted between porcine motilin and human gastrin I from a Sephadex G-50 (Pharmacia LKB Biotechnology, Inc., Piscataway, NJ) superfine column and was not retained by CM-cellulose, at pH 8.5. Its retention time during reverse phase HPLC on a C18 column also differed from those of G17 and G34. Thus, this secretagogue activity appeared mediated by a small, acidic peptide with a molecular size of about 2000 to 3000 daltons. The present study indicates that plasma and tumor extracts of these 11 patients contain a gastric acid secretagogue activity mediated by a nongastrin peptide. We suggest that what may be a distinct clinical entity associated with endocrine neoplasms of the pancreas should be considered in the face of excessive acid hypersecretion without fasting hypergastrinemia.

Abstract
Correct and immediate care can significantly reduce the debilitating effects of Scorpaenidae evenomation. The lack of immediate heat application to the wound in our case report may have contributed to the complications and eventual loss of motion in the affected area, since the toxic ingredient, a nondialyzable protein, remained active.
