Physiologic responses to loud tones in israeli veterans of the 1973 yom kippur war

Abstract

Eyeblink and autonomic components of the acoustic startle response were evaluated in a community sample of Israeli veterans of the Yom Kippur war. Individuals were solicited by mail and telephone to participate in the study; they were not seeking treatment or compensation. Nineteen Israeli veterans with current posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 74 veterans without PTSD were exposed to 15 consecutive 95-dB, 500-msec, 1000-Hz tones with 0-msec rise and fall times, while orbicularis oculi electromyogram, skin conductance, and heart rate responses were measured. Individuals with PTSD produced larger averaged heart rate responses, and a slower decline in skin conductance responses, across the 15 tone presentations compared to non-PTSD subjects. There was no group difference in the magnitude of the averaged electromyogram response. Results of this study replicate previous findings of increased autonomic responses to loud tone stimuli in this disorder.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
