THE INTENSIVE ELECTRIC SHOCK THERAPY OF CHRONIC DISTURBED PSYCHOTIC PATIENTS [PDF]

American Journal of Psychiatry, 1950
1. Intensive electric shock treatment was tried on a large, chronic, disturbed psychotic women's ward over a 3-month period. 2. As a result restraint was reduced roughly 90%, seclusion roughly 66%, and sedation roughly 90%. Patients in general became better "ward citizens."

Consequences of plateau pika disturbance on plant-soil carbon and nitrogen in alpine meadows

Frontiers in Plant Science
The presence of burrowing mammals can have extensive effects on plants and soils, creating bare soil patches in alpine meadows and potentially altering plant-soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). This study focuses on the plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) to

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]

, 2015
Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Intermediate coupling between aboveground and belowground biomass maximises the persistence of grasslands [PDF]

, 2012
Aboveground and belowground biomass compartments of vegetation fulfil different functions and they are coupled by complex interactions. These compartments exchange water, carbon and nutrients and the belowground biomass compartment has the capacity to ...

Disturbances of Sleep in the Intensive Care Unit

Critical Care Clinics, 1994
Sleep can be extremely difficult to achieve in ICUs. Sleep deprivation is a major problem in the ICU and physicians should be aware of the effects of sleep deprivation on physiologic and immune function. Sleep deprivation has been associated with the ICU syndrome.

Contribution of seagrass plants to CO2 capture in a tropical seagrass meadow under experimental disturbance. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Coastal vegetative habitats are known to be highly productive environments with a high ability to capture and store carbon. During disturbance this important function could be compromised as plant photosynthetic capacity, biomass, and/or growth are ...

Differences in functional traits of herbaceous plants in Sanjiang plain wetland under human disturbance gradient and their response strategies to environmental changes

Frontiers in Plant Science
Using the Honghe Nature Reserve in the Sanjiang Plain as a case study, this research tests the central hypothesis that increasing anthropogenic disturbance intensity shifts the ecological strategies of dominant plant species along a resource-conservative
