Determined if baseline anxiety levels are predictive of outcome on treatments associated with cancer chemotherapy. Results indicated low-anxiety patients reported less anxiety and depression before behavioral training but nonetheless exhibited significantly greater reductions in anxiety, depression, and diastolic blood pressure after training.…

Long-wave economic cycles charted by Nikolai Kondratieff could be used to predict the ups and downs of capitalist economies, including depressions and recessions. However, numerous researchers have cast doubt on the reality of the Kondratieff Wave. Their arguments are presented. (Author/RM)
