Blues and Samba
Este artigo considera as conexões entre blues e bossa nova, pouco reconhecidas na literatura sobre bossa nova, mas muito importantes para o desenvolvimento do estilo. Analisando as gravações do circuito samba-jazz em Copacabana nas décadas de 1950 e 1960, o artigo traz à luz uma prática de blues, tanto na estrutura de doze compassos como na utilização da escala blues como matéria de improviso, bastante comum naquela época. O artigo explica o pape…

Acute Psychological Stress and Epinephrine Infusion in Normolipidemic and Hyperlipidemic Men
This study examined whether psychological stress and the infusion of epinephrine increase plasma lipid and apoprotein concentrations in normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic men. Subjects were studied during three separate 6-hour laboratory sessions: a control session, during which subjects rested quietly while blood samples and hemodynamic measurements were obtained; a stress session, during which subjects were presented with two challenging mental …
Psychosocial factors associated with cardiovascular reactivity in older adults
This study examined associations of psychosocial factors with cardiovascular reactivity in two groups of men and women--spouse caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease (M age = 69.4 N = 82) and controls (M age = 68.5, N = 78) group-matched for age and gender. Cardiovascular responses to an emotional task (speech sample about one's spouse) yielded higher systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP, DBP) than a spoken cognitive task, whic…
Cardiovascular and neuroendocrine responses to extended laboratory challenge
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 2-hour laboratory challenge on heart rate, blood pressure, catecholamines, and cortisol; and investigate the contribution of the physical act of speaking on both neuroendocrine and cardiovascular measures. Using a within-subjects design, 14 subjects were tested individually during two separate laboratory sessions. During one session, subjects engaged in two cognitively demanding tasks for …
Changes in plasma lipids and dietary intake accompanying shifts in perceived workload and stress
Plasma lipids, dietary intake, and self-reported stress and workload were assessed in 14 employees twice before major work deadlines (high workload), and once during a comparatively quiescent period of work (low workload). Increases in self-reported stress and workload between the high and low workload periods were significantly positively associated with increases in plasma total cholesterol, although lipid levels were not increased in the group…
Hypnotic Susceptibility and its Relationship to Outcome in the Behavioral Treatment of Asthma
12 subjects from an experiment on relaxation therapy for asthma were given the Harvard Group Scale of Hypnotic Susceptibility, Form A. Full scale hypnotic susceptibility scores were positively correlated, at a borderline significance, with improvement in the methacholine challenge test, a measure of asthma severity. Performance on the amnesia item of the Harvard Group Scale was correlated with improvement in self-reported symptoms of asthma
Familial aggregation of blood pressure and heart rate responses during behavioral stress
Parent-offspring and sibling resemblances in blood pressure and heart rate responses to behavioral stress were evaluated in a sample of 142 families residing in an upper-middle-class community in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area between 1983 and 1985. The sample consisted of 121 daughters and 96 sons ranging in age from 7 to 18 years, and 141 mothers and 119 fathers ranging in age from 31 to 62 years. Three stressors were presented to all partici…
