BACKGROUND The 32-item Hypomania Checklist (HCL-32), a questionnaire for screening bipolar disorders, has been utilised in several countries, but it unclear if the Chinese version of the HCL-32 is valid. METHODS Consecutive patients with bipolar disorders (BP, N = 300) and unipolar major depression (UP, N = 156) completed the Chinese version of the HCL-32. The subjects underwent a structured ...

Psychosocial problems increase the risk for mental health problems and increase the need for health care services in children and adolescents. Primary care practice is a valuable avenue for identifying the need for more specialized mental health care. We hypothesized that Korean version of the pediatric symptom checklist (PSC) would be a useful tool for early detection of psychosocial problems ...

Throughout this section, G = (V,E) is a multi-graph. A cut of G is a bipartition (S, S̄) of the vertex set of G. The capacity of a cut is the number of edges having one endpoint on both sides of the cut. A min-cut is a cut of minimum capacity. A minimum cut can be computed with the help of maxflow computations. For some vertex s and every other vertex t, one computes the minimum cut separating s...

Cut-elimination is usually presented as a set of local proof reduction steps together with a terminating strategy thus showing the existence of cut-free proofs for all provable sequents. Viewing cut-elimination as a transformation of mathematical proofs, not only the existence but also the structure and content of the cut-free proofs deserves investigation. In this paper we use proof skeletons ...

acres, and you enjoy a variety of activities on your land: watching wildlife, hiking, hunting, picking berries, picnicking or taking photos of wildlife and wildflowers. You delight in the beauty and solitude that comes with owning a woodland. You warm yourself in late fall and winter by cutting a little firewood, and you wouldn’t mind making a little extra cash, though managing your woodland fo...

AIM This study aimed to evaluate the fucosylated fraction of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP-L3) as a marker of early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS We diagnosed early HCC in 15 patients (15 tumors) by gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed the diagnoses using new criteria of the International Consensus Group ...
