Specialty Service Lines In The United States Hospital System: Old Wine, New Bottles, Michael Sajovetz
Specialty Service Lines In The United States Hospital System: Old Wine, New Bottles, Michael Sajovetz
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The emergence of specialty service lines in the United States health care system presents many significant questions regarding the access to, provision of, and financing of healthcare. In general terms, specialty service lines represent the newest development in several important trends in the American hospital system and reflect important trends in the wider economy.

Despite the significant health disparities among sexual minority women, studying this population has not been a priority in health research and there is little research-based evidence …

Psychology: Faculty Scholarship
Extraversion has been shown to positively correlate with activation within the ventral striatum, amygdala and other dopaminergically innervated, reward-sensitive regions. These regions are implicated in emotional responding, in a manner sensitive to attentional focus. However, no study has investigated the interaction among extraversion, emotion and attention. We used fMRI and dynamic, evocative film clips to elicit amusement and sadness in a sample of 28 women. Participants were instructed either to respond naturally (n = 14) or to attend to and continuously rate their emotions (n = 14) while watching the films. Contrary to expectations, striatal response was negatively associated with …
