This study examined parents’ reports of their adult children’s problems and successes and implications for ambivalence. Participants aged 40-60 years (302 men and 331 women from different families) reported on up to 3 of their adult children (N
= 1,251). Men and women differentiated among children in ratings of problems, successes, and ambivalence. Men and not women reported greater ambivalence regarding children with more physical-emotional problems and less career success. Men and women reported find more greater ambivalence regarding children with less relationship success. Consistent with ambivalence theory, individuals feel more ambivalent regarding problematic and less successful children but men’s ambivalence appears to be more sensitive to their children’s problems and successes than women’s ambivalence.”
“OBJECTIVE: We report a unique case of a dissecting thrombosed left anterior choroidal aneurysm.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION: The aneurysm was diagnosed in a pediatric patient who presented with right-sided hemiparesis. Computed tomography, computed tomographic angiography, magnetic resonance AZD6094 order imaging, and conventional angiography studies were helpful in diagnosing the aneurysm
in this patient. Imaging was consistent with an acute infarct in the left globus pallidus.
INTERVENTION: An orbitozygomatic craniotomy was performed for surgical clipping of the aneurysm.
CONCLUSION: This case illustrates the unique appearance of a dissecting aneurysm in the anterior choroidal artery and stresses Poziotinib mouse the importance of recognizing atypical presentations of complex aneurysms
in the pediatric population.”
“In this meta-analytic review of 31 laboratory studies, we examined if relatively older adults showed lower or higher cardiovascular reactivity compared with relatively younger adults. Results revealed that age was associated with lower heart rate reactivity but higher systolic blood pressure (SBP) reactivity during emotionally evocative tasks. Consistent with the predictions of dynamic integration theory, the result for SBP was moderated by the degree of task activation. These data are discussed in light of existing self-regulatory models and important future research directions.”
“The effects of advanced age and cognitive resources on the course of skill acquisition are unclear, and discrepancies among studies may reflect limitations of data analytic approaches. We applied a multilevel negative exponential model to skill acquisition data from 80 trials (four 20-trial blocks) of a pursuit rotor task administered to healthy adults (19-80 years old). The analyses conducted at the single-trial level indicated that the negative exponential function described performance well. Learning parameters correlated with measures of task-relevant cognitive resources on all blocks except the last and with age on all blocks after the second.
