When experiences of failure promote expectations of success: The impact of attribution failure to ineffective strategies1
This experiment examined the effects of attributing initial failure to ineffective strategies on performance expectancies. Subjects were induced to attribute performance at a pe...
Air pollution and life expectancy in China and beyond
In PNAS, Chen et al. (1) present findings that implicate long-term exposure to air pollution as contributing to enormous loss of life expectancy (LE) in China. These results are...
Estimating the impact of better management of glycaemic control in adults with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes on the number of clinical complications and the associated financial benefit
Abstract Aim To estimate potential cost avoidance through modest and achievable improvements in glycaemic control in adults with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the UK hea...
Cardiovascular and systemic responses to inhaled pollutants in rodents: effects of ozone and particulate matter.
Striking similarities have been observed in a number of extrapulmonary responses of rodents to seemingly disparate ambient pollutants. These responses are often characterized by...
Impact of Age on the Importance of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressures for Stroke Risk
This study investigates age-related shifts in the relative importance of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressures as predictors of stroke and whether these relations a...
Intermittent Exposure of Fish to Estradiol
The majority of testing for the effects of chemicals on fish has, historically, been designed to provide continuous exposure to constant concentrations. However, in the environm...
Nanoparticles, nanotechnology and pulmonary nanotoxicology
The recently emergent field of Nanotechnology involves the production and use of structures at the nanoscale. Research at atomic, molecular or macromolecular levels, has led to ...
Particulate air pollution and hospital admissions for cardiorespiratory diseases: are the elderly at greater risk?
A systematic literature review suggests that particulate air pollution is associated with daily admissions for both respiratory and cardiac diseases in people aged >65 yrs. A...
