The role of challenging incentives in feedback-assisted heart rate reduction for coronary-prone adult males

Three experiments were performed to study the influence of challenging incentives on feedback-assisted heart rate reduction for coronary-prone (Type A) and non-coronary-prone (Type B) males. In the first experiment, when subjects were given a competitive instructional set, Type As were significantly more successful relative to Type Bs in reducing their heart rate; with a noncompetitive set, Type Bs were significantly more successful than were Type As. In the second experiment, when told that heart rate reduction was a scarce ability, Type As reduced heart rate significantly better than did Type Bs; when told that heart rate reduction was a common ability, Type Bs achieved significantly greater heart rate reduction than did Type As. In the third experiment, when heart rate reduction was described as being instrumental to time-urgency (i.e., getting more done in less time), Type As reduced heart rate significantly bettern than did Type Bs; when heart rate reduction was described as being instrumental to relaxation, Type Bs were significantly better able to reduce heart rate. In all three studies, the incentives had no effect on heart rate when feedback was not provided. The results are discussed as support for the notion that Type A behavioral pattern characteristics can be exploited to reduce Type A symptoms. Implications for how coronary-prone individuals may be challenged to modify symptoms within the clinical setting are discussed.

Therapie mit Stammzellen

Therapeutic use of stem cells Here the hematopoetic system of blood‐ and immune cell renewal is reviewed. Curing of chronic leucemias and malignant lymphomas is the most successful stem cell based therapy up to date. However, mismatches of histocompatibility‐complexes (HLA‐types) between receiver and donor set narrow limits to such therapies. Whether other diseases such as Parkinson could be cured by infusion of stem cells is still in question.
