Adult attachment theory is increasingly being conceptualized within a traumatic framework, however, few studies have examined temporal relationships between the insecure attachment orientations (attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance) and symptoms of posttraumatic stress (PTS). PTS refers to symptoms associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the absence of a clinical diagnosi...

Post traumatic seizures (PTS) occur frequently after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Since gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) neurotransmission is central to excitotoxicity and seizure development across multiple models, we investigated how genetic variability for glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) influences risk for PTS. Using both a tagging and functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) appro...

PURPOSE Phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all breast tumors. Among PTs, malignant PTs (MPTs) have malignant characteristics and distant metastases occur in about 20% to 30% of MPTs. However, there is no effective treatment for MPTs with distant metastasis, resulting in an abject prognosis. We performed targeted deep sequencing on PTs to identify the a...

The post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) occurs frequently after deep venous thrombosis (DVT) despite appropriate anticoagulant therapy. A close relationship between inflammation and thrombosis exists. While the inflammatory process at the time of DVT appears to improve thrombus resolution, it may promote destruction of venous valves, valvular reflux and subsequent development of PTS. We prospectivel...

Methods Between 1999 and 2014, all consecutive ICU pts admitted for management of POP were prospectively included in a data base. Bacteremic pts (B+) were defined as having at least one positive blood culture in the 24 hours preceding/ following surgery for POP. The following data were collected: demographic characteristics, underlying disease, severity scores at the time of reoperation, microb...

OBJECTIVE To compare the risk of posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and the mediating effect of perceived future threat on the risk of PTS symptoms among survivors of pediatric cancer and children who had a parent die. METHODS Seventy-eight children (39 survivors of cancer, 39 bereaved) completed self-report measures of PTS symptoms, depression, anxiety, and perceived risk of future threat f...

Methods Pts from 11 Hospitals were enrolled between Mar07Dec08.Three different subgroups of pts were analyzed (Group1-Pts multi-experienced HIV-1 at virologic failure, Group2-Pts virologically suppressed who needed to change ARV due to toxicity, including T20 replacement and Group3-HIV2 infected pts with failing therapy). OBT was selected based on previous resistance test and prior treatment hi...

Partial transmit sequences (PTS) is one of the most attractive schemes to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. However, the Optimal PTS (OPTS) scheme requires an exhaustive searching over all combinations of allowed phase factors. Consequently, the computational complexity increases exponentially with the number of the subbl...

BACKGROUND Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) assumes that rational beliefs act as cognitive protective factors against the development of psychopathology; however little empirical evidence exists regarding the nature of the possible protective effects that they offer. AIMS The current study investigates whether rational beliefs moderate the impact of irrational beliefs on posttraumati...

PURPOSE Left side deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is associated with May-Thurner's anatomical variation and is often instigated by invasive treatment. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of left iliac vein narrowness on incidence of post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) that developed after left side DVT. METHODS Forty-one left side DVT cases that were followed up for more than 1 year wer...
