✦ Synopsis

In an attempt to model the accumulation of stress caused by waiting, Osuna (1985) postulated that anxiety stems from a perceived harm or loss to the person's well being that he represented by an increasing function of the total time to service. This paper proposes an extension of this model to situations in which the psychological cost of waiting is not functionally related to time but merely correlated with it. It is shown that the properties of Osuna's model recently reexamined by Suck and Holling (1997) remain valid in this broader framework. Copyright 2001 Academic Press.

According to cognitive stress theories, stress caused by waiting is influenced by two components, the (psychological) cost of waiting, that is, a function C of time, and a probability distribution over waiting times. Osuna (1985a) suggested a model by which stress as a function of time could be calc

## Abstract The aim of this study is to establish a new experimental model of hematogenous implant‐related infection (IRI) by a community‐acquired methicillin‐resistant __S. aureus__ (CA‐MRSA) strain. Cylindrical porous tantalum intramedullary implants were inserted in the proximal right tibia of 3
