Kelly M. Glynn, Penny Anderson, David J. Fast, James Koedam, more

Experimental Dermatology > 27 > 9 > 1043 - 1047

Glycation and advanced glycation end products (AGE) damage skin which is compounded by AGE‐induced oxidative stress and inflammation. Lip and facial skin could be susceptible to glycation damage as they are chronically stressed. As Gromwell (Lithospermum erythrorhizon) root (GR) has an extensive traditional medicine history that includes providing multiple skin benefits, our objective was to determine...

Transgenesis affects endogenous soybean allergen levels less than traditional breeding

Ryan C. Hill, Brandon J. Fast, Rod A. Herman

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology > 2017 > 89 > C > 70-73

The regulatory body that oversees the safety assessment of genetically modified (GM) crops in the European Union, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), uniquely requires that endogenous allergen levels be quantified as part of the compositional characterization of GM versions of crops, such as soybean, that are considered to be major allergenic foods. The value of this requirement for assessing...

Echinacea purpurea root extract inhibits TNF release in response to Pam3Csk4 in a phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase dependent manner

David J. Fast, John A. Balles, Jeffrey D. Scholten, Timothy Mulder, more

Cellular Immunology > 2015 > 297 > 2 > 94-99

Polysaccharides derived from Echinacea have historically been shown to be immunostimulatory. We describe in this work however the anti-inflammatory effect of a water extract of Echinacea purpurea roots (EPRW) that inhibited Pam₃Csk₄ stimulated production of TNFα by human monocytic THP-1 cells. The polyphenols and alkylamides typically found in Echinacea extracts were absent in EPRW suggesting that...

B. Bernardoni, J. Thein-Nissenbaum, J. Fast, M. Day, more

Osteoporosis International > 2014 > 25 > 3 > 1025-1032

Summary Twenty-two sixth-grade girls who participated in a 7-month school-based resistance-training program were compared to 22 controls. In a subanalysis of Tanner breast II (T2) and III (T3) subjects (n = 21 controls subjects (CON), n = 17 subjects in the high-intervention (INT)-dose group (HI)), T2 HI had greater narrow neck (NN) width gains than T2 CON (p < 0.05) and T3 HI had greater L3 bone...

Power, defensive denigration, and the assuaging effect of gratitude expression

Yeri Cho, Nathanael J. Fast

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology > 2012 > 48 > 3 > 778-782

This article examines the interactive effects of power, competency threats, and gratitude expression on the tendency to denigrate others. The results of two experiments indicate that (1) power holders whose competence has been threatened are more likely than others to denigrate interaction partners, and (2) receiving gratitude expression has self-affirming effects for insecure power holders. Experiment...

Symptoms and quality of life in underweight gastroesophageal reflux disease patients and therapeutic responses to proton pump inhibitors

Michio Hongo, Hiroto Miwa, Motoyasu Kusano, J‐FAST group

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology > 27 > 5 > 913 - 918

Background and Aim: A correlation to obesity has been reported in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, insufficient data have been obtained regarding underweight GERD patients. Post hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate subjective symptoms and health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in underweight GERD patients (body mass index [BMI]...

Power and overconfident decision-making

Nathanael J. Fast, Niro Sivanathan, Nicole D. Mayer, Adam D. Galinsky

Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes > 2012 > 117 > 2 > 249-260

Five experiments demonstrate that experiencing power leads to overconfident decision-making. Using multiple instantiations of power, including an episodic recall task (Experiments 1–3), a measure of work-related power (Experiment 4), and assignment to high- and low-power roles (Experiment 5), power produced overconfident decisions that generated monetary losses for the powerful. The current findings,...

The destructive nature of power without status

Nathanael J. Fast, Nir Halevy, Adam D. Galinsky

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology > 2012 > 48 > 1 > 391-394

The current research explores how roles that possess power but lack status influence behavior toward others. Past research has primarily examined the isolated effects of having either power or status, but we propose that power and status interact to affect interpersonal behavior. Based on the notions that a) low-status is threatening and aversive and b) power frees people to act on their internal...

Combination of angiotensin II receptor blockers promotes proton pump inhibitor-based healing of reflux esophagitis

Hiroto Miwa, Michio Hongo, Motoyasu Kusano, The J-FAST Group

Journal of Gastroenterology > 2012 > 47 > 3 > 249-255

Background Several studies have described factors associated with the failure of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to effect endoscopic healing of reflux esophagitis (RE), but few studies have addressed factors promoting PPI-based endoscopic healing. We performed post hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort of RE patients to identify factors encouraging endoscopic healing of this disorder. ...

Aminopyralid soil residues affect rotational vegetable crops in Florida

Brandon J Fast, Jason A Ferrell, Gregory E MacDonald, Brent A Sellers, more

Pest Management Science > 67 > 7 > 825 - 830

BACKGROUND: Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flueggé) is a poor host of several soilborne pests of vegetable crops; therefore vegetable crops are commonly grown in a rotation with bahiagrass pastures in Florida. The herbicide aminopyralid provides foliar and soil residual weed control and increases forage production in bahiagrass pastures; however, the soil residual activity of aminopyralid makes carryover...

Effect of rabeprazole treatment on health-related quality of life and symptoms in patients with reflux esophagitis: a prospective multicenter observational study in Japan

Michio Hongo, Hiroto Miwa, Motoyasu Kusano, J-FAST group

Journal of Gastroenterology > 2011 > 46 > 3 > 297-304

Background Despite many reports from Western nations describing endoscopic and symptomatic improvements in patients with reflux esophagitis (RE) using proton pump inhibitors (PPI), PPI effects on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL), particularly for a dose duration of less than 8 weeks, have not been sufficiently clarified in Japanese RE patients. Methods RE patients (n = 9,029) in general...

Blame contagion: The automatic transmission of self-serving attributions

Nathanael J. Fast, Larissa Z. Tiedens

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology > 2010 > 46 > 1 > 97-106

When people blame others for their mistakes, they learn less and perform worse. This problem is magnified when blame becomes embedded in the shared culture of groups and organizations. Yet, little is known about whether—and, if so, how—the propensity to blame spreads from one person to another. Four experiments addressed this issue, demonstrating that blame is socially contagious: observing an individual...

Group status, perceptions of threat, and support for social inequality

Kimberly Rios Morrison, Nathanael J. Fast, Oscar Ybarra

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology > 2009 > 45 > 1 > 204-210

Members of high-status groups have been shown to favor social inequality, but little research has investigated the boundary conditions of this phenomenon. In the present article we suggest that perceived intergroup threat moderates the relationship between group status and support for social inequality (i.e., social dominance orientation), especially among highly identified group members. In Study...

The MAJORANA neutrinoless double-beta decay experiment

V.E. Guiseppe, C.E. Aalseth, M. Akashi-Ronquest, M. Amman, more

2008 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium Conference Record > 1793 - 1798

2008 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging conference (2008 NSS/MIC)

Neutrinoless double-beta decay searches play a major role in determining the nature of neutrinos, the existence of a lepton violating process, and the effective Majorana neutrino mass. The MAJORANA Collaboration proposes to assemble an array of HPGe detectors to search for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ⁷⁶Ge. Our proposed method uses the well-established technique of searching for neutrinoless...
