- This study examined the effect of gender and facial characteristics of criminal offenders on attributions of crime-relevant traits. The stimulus pictures portrayed women and men of varying attractiveness. Participants were presented with pictures of these female or male faces along with accompanying crime accounts. The crime account described the individual in the picture as a person who had committed one of the following crimes: theft, fraud, drug crime, child molestation, child abuse, or homicide. After reading one case account the participants were asked to evaluate the credibility and other crime-relevant personality traits of the offender. Results showed that female defendants were rated more favourably than were male defendants. Gender worked to the advantage of the female perpetrator. There were also slight tendencies towards more lenient appraisal of the more attractive women.

- 2002

In: European Journal of Clinical Investigation. - : Wiley. - 0014-2972 .- 1365-2362. ; 32:8, s. 570-4

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Gastrointestinal symptoms are common and important for the quality of life in patients with myotonic dystrophy (MD). Gastric emptying was studied in patients with MD who suffered from symptoms suggesting slow gastric emptying and the effect of prokinetic treatment was evaluated. METHODS: Gastric emptying was studied in 10 patients with MD who were suffering from nausea, early satiety, bloating, regurgitation, vomiting, or abdominal pain using a (99)Tc-labelled test meal, and was compared with gastric emptying in a group of healthy controls. The patients were subsequently treated with erythromycin and their gastrointestinal symptoms were recorded and the gastric emptying test was repeated. RESULTS: Patients with MD had a significantly longer gastric lag phase (46.1 +/- 4.3 vs. 31.9 +/- 4.0 min, P = 0.03), a slower emptying phase (7.1 +/- 0.9 vs. 10.2 +/- 0.9 kJ min(-1), P = 0.02) and a longer half-emptying time, T50 (141.7 +/- 10.5 vs. 98.6 +/- 8.7 min, P = 0.01) than a matched control group. Erythromycin did not stimulate the gastric emptying rate. The effect on gastrointestinal symptoms was modest, except for a reduction of diarrhoea. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with MD suffering from nausea, vomiting and early satiety, displayed a slow gastric emptying. Treatment with erythromycin had only moderate effect on gastric emptying or gastric symptoms, but reduced diarrhoea in a majority of the patients.
