Continuous multiparameter monitoring of SM provides a minimally invasive method for assessing severity of shock and efficacy of resuscitation. Both PCO2 and PO2 levels change rapidly with shock and resuscitation. SM pH is directly proportional to lost blood volume. Persistent SM acidosis (pH < 7.2) and elevated PCO2 levels suggest incomplete resuscitation despite normalized hemodynamics.

These data indicate that the action of agonists and antagonists of nitric oxide synthesis carries across the anorectal mucosa and rapidly modifies sphincter tone.

We examined the role that perceptions of social worth played in the connections that narcissistic personality features had with job-related attitudes in a sample of Israeli community members (N = 814). Our results showed that the positive associations that the extraverted aspect of narcissism had with each of the job-related attitudes were mediated by status-based social worth. In contrast, the neurotic aspect of narcissism was negatively associated with job-related attitudes – with the exception of the perceived quality of alternative jobs – and these associations were mediated by status-based social worth. Antagonistic narcissism was negatively associated with job-related attitudes, but perceptions of social worth seemed to play little role in these associations. The discussion is focused on the role that perceptions of social worth may play in the connections between narcissism and job-related attitudes.
