TL;DR: This is the first large multiethnic study reporting on the incidence and progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC), and diabetes mellitus had the strongest association with CAC progression for blacks and the weakest for Hispanics.
Abstract: Background— The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) provides an opportunity to study the association of traditional cardiovascular risk factors with the incidence and progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in a large community-based cohort with no evidence of clinical cardiovascular disease. Methods and Results— Follow-up CAC measurements were available for 5756 participants with an average of 2.4 years between scans. The incidence of newly detectable CAC averaged 6.6% per year. Incidence increased steadily across age, ranging from 12% in those >80 years of age. Median annual change in CAC for those with existing calcification at baseline was 14 Agatston units for women and 21 Agatston units for men. Most traditional cardiovascular risk factors were associated with both the risk of developing new incident coronary calcium and increases in existing calcification. These included age, male gender, white race/ethnicity, hypertension, body mass index, d...

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that exposure to and appraisals of interpersonal stress combine with aspects of biological development and the use of maladaptive coping strategies to account for the emergence of significant gender differences in depression and other forms of psychopathology during adolescence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose that job seekers receive signals from CSP that inform three signal-based mechanisms that ultimately affect organizational attractiveness: job seekers' anticipated pride from being affiliated with the organization, their perceived value fit with the organisation, and their expectations about how the organization treats its employees.
Abstract: Research on employee recruitment has shown that an organization's corporate social performance (CSP) affects its attractiveness as an employer, but the underlying mechanisms and processes through which this occurs are poorly understood. We propose that job seekers receive signals from CSP that inform three signal-based mechanisms that ultimately affect organizational attractiveness: job seekers' anticipated pride from being affiliated with the organization, their perceived value fit with the organization, and their expectations about how the organization treats its employees. We hypothesized that these signal-based mechanisms mediate the relationships between CSP and organizational attractiveness, focusing on two aspects of CSP: an organization's community involvement and pro-environmental practices. In an experiment (n 180), we manipulated CSP via a company's web pages. In a field study (n 171), we measured CSP content in the recruitment materials used by organizations at a job fair and job seekers' perceptions of the organizations' CSP. Results provided support for the signal-based mechanisms, and we discuss the implications for theory, future research, and practice

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that a transient receptor potential channel (TRPC6) homologue has a major role in this depolarizing response to pressure and it is proposed that TRPC6 channels play an essential role in regulation of myogenic tone.
Abstract: Elevation of intravascular pressure causes depolarization and constriction (myogenic tone) of small arteries and arterioles, and this response is a key element in blood flow regulation. However, the nature of pressure-induced depolarization has remained elusive. In the present study, we provide evidence that a transient receptor potential channel (TRPC6) homologue has a major role in this depolarizing response to pressure. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides to TRPC6 decreased TRPC6 protein expression and greatly attenuated arterial smooth muscle depolarization and constriction caused by elevated pressure in intact cerebral arteries. Suppressing the expression of this channel protein also reduced the current density of a major cation current in resistance artery smooth muscle cells. We propose that TRPC6 channels play an essential role in regulation of myogenic tone.
