...studied 70 subjects, half of them men, half women. Witvliet finds "robust" physiological differences between nonforgiving and forgiving states. Subjects' cardiovascular systems inevitably labor when they remember the person who hurt them. But stress is "significantly greater" when they consider revenge rather than forgiveness. Witvliet suggests that we may be drawn to hold grudges "because that makes us feel like we are more in control and we are less sad." But interviews with her subjects indicate that they felt in even greater control when they tried to empathize with their offenders and enjoyed the greatest sense of power, well-being...
That potential seems almost limitless today. In principle, stem cells could be used for a vast array of profitable--and lifesaving--therapies. They could, in theory, be coaxed into forming heart cells, for example, and injected to patch up heart muscle damaged by cardiovascular disease. They might be turned into neurons to replace brain cells destroyed by Alzheimer's. They may someday provide new pancreatic cells to pump insulin into the bloodstream of diabetics...
After more studies are conducted on the effects of LY333531 on diabetic blindness, researchers hope to investigate the inhibitors' effectiveness on diabetic cardiovascular malfunctions...
...addition, the number of Americans 85 or older is expected to skyrocket from 3.3 million today to 18.9 million by the year 2050. Studies have shown that the physiological problems associated with the low gravity of space travel--for instance, cardiovascular de-conditioning, balance problems, depressed immune response and, of course, disturbed sleep--parallel age-related problems...
...warm-ups and stretching. After that comes time dedicated to "working with the weapon," then a period of partner work. Next is a lesson on the particular skill or technique of the day, and the final touch is a few good rounds of actual bouting. In addition to the cardiovascular demands, the skills of the foil are impressive and hard to attain. Perhaps the sabre team has a future as Jedi stunt doubles in the next Star Wars movie...
