Effect of Vasectomy on Psychological Functioning

Psychosomatic Medicine, 1966
22 couples who had chosen vasectomy for contraception were interviewed and tested on various psychological measures pre- and postoperatively. They were compared with 22 couples in identical stages of family development who had chosen ovulation suppression for contraception. No demonstrable physiological effects of vasectomy have been noted.

Effect of aging on macrophage function

Experimental Gerontology, 2002
In aged populations, infectious diseases are generally more serious and cause higher mortality. This has been attributed to a decline in the functional activity of the immune system. Many factors have been implicated, such as thymus involution and progressive impairment of the tissues and cells involved in the generation of immune response.

Effect of pentachlorophenol on immune function

Toxicology, 1998
The organochlorine compound, pentachlorophenol, was evaluated for effects on immune system function in male Fisher 344 rats. Pentachlorophenol was prepared in an olive oil vehicle and was administered by oral gavage twice weekly for 28 days at a dose of 2.0 mg/kg per treatment.

Effects of vanadate on myocardial function

Basic Research in Cardiology, 1980
The influence of vanadate (NH4VO3, Na3VO4) and vanadyl (VOSO4) on myocardial function was studied using a variety ofin vivo andex vivo cardiac preparations. In addition, the influence of vanadate on a variety of cardiac subcellular systems was examinedin vitro.

Effects of Bopindolol on Renal Function

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1986
The effect of the long-acting beta-blocking agent bopindolol on renal function was assessed in 10 healthy normotensive volunteers and 10 hypertensive patients. The subjects received 1 mg bopindolol at 8 p.m. for 21 days. The following determinations were made at 8 a.m. on recumbent, fasting subjects before day 0 (D0) and 12 h after day 1 (D1) the first

Effects of flunitrazepam on cognitive functions

Psychopharmacology, 1989
The effects of various oral doses (1, 2, 4 mg) of flunitrazepam on vigilance, attention, immediate memory, short-term memory, learning, non-consolidated and consolidated long-term memory were determined. Twelve healthy young male volunteers were given placebo or flunitrazepam in a double-blind, random latin-square sequence, crossing over every 2 weeks.

The Effect of the Honeycomb on Glare Function

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1976
Patients with certain forms of cataract or corneal disease have diminished visual acuity in a brightly lit environment. This is due to increased light scattering, which causes increased glare sensitivity. In a series of experiments, a sequence of bottles containing a suspension of latex particles was used to simulate the effect of different degrees of ...

The effects of napping on cognitive functioning

2010
Naps (brief sleeps) are a global and highly prevalent phenomenon, thus warranting consideration for their effects on cognitive functioning. Naps can reduce sleepiness and improve cognitive performance. The benefits of brief (5-15 min) naps are almost immediate after the nap and last a limited period (1-3h). Longer naps (> 30 min) can produce impairment

Effect or Function?

Abstract Section II traces the origins of Fredrickson’s most-cited theory, beginning with criticism levelled at her at a 1996 conference for how she’d framed the undo effect. Fredrickson addressed that criticism by developing a form-to-function argument that positive emotions evolved over millennia as adaptations to recurrent ...
