Maximise compliance as well as radiological sensitivity

Forced confabulation affects memory sensitivity as well as response bias.

A signal detection analysis assessed the extent to which forced confabulation results from a change in memory sensitivity (d(a)), as well as response criterion (β). After viewing a crime video, participants answered 14 answerable and 6 unanswerable questions. Those in the voluntary guess condition had a "don't know" response option; those in the forced guess condition did not. One week later, t...

Assessment of radiological hazards of travertine rocks as building materials

Introduction: Although travertine is now widely used as a building material, the effects of its radiological hazards to public health should be a matter of concern. Therefore, this study aimed to determine its radiological parameters with regard to human health. Material and Methods: In this research 10 travertine samples were collected ...

Interactive effect of aqueous-alcoholic extract of ginger as well as GABAA receptor agonist and antagonist on pain sensitivity in male rats

Introduction: Ginger has shown anti-nociceptive effects. Here we investigated the possible involvement of GABAA receptors in anti-nociceptive effect of ginger using muscimol (GABAA agonist) and picrotoxin (GABAA antagonist) in rats that received ginger. The pain sensitivity was evaluated by formalin test. Methods: Thirty-five male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 7 groups (n=5): s...

The importance of clinical signs as well as radiological findings in the diagnosis of incomplete locked-in syndrome

Muscular Dystrophy: Brain, as well as brawn?

Mutations in the dystrophin gene can lead to muscular dystrophy. The dystrophin-associated complex of proteins that was first characterized at the muscle cell membrane is now also being found in other cell types.
