Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxideproduction and involved in various pathological processes, especially processes involvingcardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation betweenADMA and anthropometric, glucose, lipid, and inflammatory parameters. The study wasanalyzed by a cross-sectional study of 45 obese subjects at H. Adam Malik Hospital. Bloodtests were carried out after 8-10 hours of fasting against cardiovascular risk: anthropometry(body weight, BMI, and WC), glucose (FPS, PPS, HbA1C, Fasting Insulin, and HOMA-IR), lipid (LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, and sd-LDL), and inflammation (ApoB and hs-CRP)parameters. The results showed of the 45 subjects, the average age was 41.69 ± 5.69 yearsold, and the average BMI was 33.09 ± 5.05 (Obesity I). ADMA was also found to becorrelated significantly with FPG, HBA1c, and TG parameters [r=-0.506, p=0.001; r=-0.334, p=0.013, dan r = -0.315. p=0.017, respectively]. In obesity, ADMA correlatedsignificantly with cardiovascular risk parameters: FPG, HbA1C, and TG.

Abstract A study by Yaruss and Quesal (2002), based on responses from 134 of 239 ASHA accredited graduate programs, indicated that approximately 25% of graduate programs in the United States allow students to earn their degree without having coursework in fluency disorders and 66% of programs allow students to graduate without clinical experience treating people who stutter (PWS). It is not surprising that many clinicians report discomfort in treating PWS. This cross-sectional study compares differences in beliefs about the cause of stuttering between freshman undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory course in communicative disorders and graduate students enrolled and in the final weeks of a graduate course in fluency disorders.

Abstract. Conflict avoidance increases across the adult lifespan. This cross-sectional study looks at conflict avoidance as part of a mechanism to regulate belongingness needs ( Sheldon, 2011 ). We assumed that older adults perceive more threats to their belongingness when they contemplate their future, and that they preventively react with avoidance coping. We set up a model predicting conflict avoidance that included perceptions of future nonbelonging, termed anticipated loneliness, and other predictors including sociodemographics, indicators of subjective well-being and perceived social support (N = 331, aged 40–87). Anticipated loneliness predicted conflict avoidance above all other predictors and partially mediated the age-association of conflict avoidance. Results suggest that belongingness regulation accounts may deepen our understanding of conflict avoidance in the second half of life.

This investigation focuses on the question whether assessments of the development of internalizing behavior from childhood to adolescence are affected by the kind of research design (longitudinal versus cross-sectional). Two longitudinal samples of 432 second-graders and 366 fourth graders participated in a longitudinal study with subsequent measurements taken 1, 2, and 3 years later. A third sample consisting of 849 children covering the same range of grades participated in a cross-sectional study. The results show that the development of internalizing symptoms in girls – but not in boys – varies systematically with the research design. In girls, there is a decrease of internalizing symptoms (especially between the first two timepoints) in the longitudinal assessment, which may reflect, for example, the influence of strain during the first testing situation. Both longitudinal trajectories converge to a common trajectory from grade 2 to grade 7 when controlling for this “novelty-distress effect.” Moreover, when we control this effect, the slight but significant decrease characterizing the common trajectory becomes similar to the one obtained in the cross-sectional study. Therefore, trajectories based on longitudinal assessments may suggest more changes with regard to internalizing symptoms over time than actually take place, while trajectories based on cross-sectional data may be characterized by an increased level of internalizing symptoms. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are discussed.
