Exercise self-schemata: cognitive and behavioral correlates.

Presents two studies exploring the links between self-schemata and exercise behavior. Study 1 was designed to study information processing in individuals with exercise self-schemata. Study 2 was designed to assess, in a prospective design, the relationship between exercise self-schema and subsequent exercise behavior. The results revealed that individuals with exercise self-schemata (a) endorsed as self-descriptive more words and phrases related to exercising and fewer related to not exercising, (b) tended to take less time to make schema-consistent judgments, (c) recalled more specific instances of past exerciser behavior and fewer specific instances of nonexerciser behavior, and (d) predicted that they were more likely to engage in future pro-exercise behavior. Moreover, individuals who thought of themselves as exercisers were more likely to report that they had adopted an exercise program than were individuals without such a self-schema.

Use of digoxin Fab immune fragments in a seven-day-old infant.

We report the use of digoxin immune Fab in a seven-day-old male neonate for treatment of digoxin poisoning. The patient was being treated with digoxin for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). The prescription was written for digoxin elixir (50 micrograms/ml), 10 micrograms bid; however, it was dispensed as 100 micrograms bid. The patient had received seven of these doses over three and one half days prior to arrival at the emergency department. The patient received 40 mg of digoxin immune Fab fragments over one hour to bind a calculated maximum digoxin dose of 600 micrograms. The only complication was a transient episode of relative hypoglycemia 13 to 22 hours postinfusion with measured glucose readings between 43 and 52 mg/dl. The hypoglycemia responded to supplemental glucose and advancement of feedings. We believe that in massive and rapid electrolyte shifts in the neonate caused by digoxin immune Fab, glucose should be monitored closely.
