Do specific personality traits and coping styles predict affective symptoms in early post acute coronary syndrome inpatients?
These findings underlie the importance of assessment for Type D personality and coping strategies that could be useful to identify post-ACS patients at higher risk for affective symptoms. Using these brief instruments, as sensitive screening measures, we investigated the prevalence of depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with ACS, we identified personality traits and coping strategies used to manage stress and estimated independent predictors of affectivity disorders after ACS.
An effect of environment (daylength) on the localisation of C hordein was demonstrated. This difference in hordein localisation was also associated with differences in malting quality with water uptake in the steeping phase being associated positively with the deeper location of C hordein. These results indicate that environmental effects on protein location may affect malting performance of barley grains.
