Since the early descriptions of thought disorder in psychiatric patients were recorded by clini-cians such as Bleuler and Kraepelin, numerous studies have attempted to examine this phenomenon through the use of various techniques. Harvey (1983) suggests that three main methods have been used to assess thought disorder. Clinical investigations of deviant communication patterns and natural langua...

Decreased hepatic function in patients with hepatoma or liver metastasis monitored by a hepatocyte specific galactosylated radioligand Summary 9'Tc-galactosylated neoglycoalbumin ("mTc-NGA) is a hepatocyte-specific tracer that, after injection into the blood stream, delivers radioactivity selectively to the liver. This is based upon chemical recognition and binding by the hepatic binding protei...

With interest we read the report of a psychosis incidence study in the Dutch town of Utrecht (Zandi et al., 2010). The authors hypothesized that previous reports of an increased incidence of schizophrenia among Moroccan–Dutch people in the Netherlands were due to cross-cultural bias. They examined first-onset cases using a “culturally sensitive” version of the Comprehensive Assessment of Sympto...

Subclinical expression of schizophrenia-like symptoms in non-psychotic siblings of individuals with schizophrenia Dear Editors, There have been numerous reports of mild psycho-pathology in the relatives of individuals with schizo-phrenia, including odd behaviors, social withdrawal, and difficulty with personal relationships. These features have been referenced as " schizotypal, " given their si...

Background: The greater saphenous vein is still frequently used as a conduit for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Previously, veins were harvested through a single continuous skin incision, commonly referred to as open vein harvesting (OVH), while endoscopic vein harvesting (EVH) techniques have become increasingly popular. However, the postoperative consumption of healthcare resources r...

This paper addresses techniques for extracting conceptual descriptions from text sources and queries based on an ontology. The taxonomic ontology comprises featurestructured conceptual descriptions, and retrieval is based on description similarity relative to the ontology. Introduction The aim of the OntoQuery project (Andreasen, Nilsson, and Thomsen 2000; OntoQuery) is to contribute to the dev...

possible to visualise living human brain structure and function in astonishing detail. To pioneering investigators such as Jackson, Meynert, Wernicke, Freud, Alzheimer and Kraepelin our current capacity to image brain structure to the nearest millimetre, and cerebral haemodynamics to the nearest second, would surely have appeared heaven-sent. With these techniques, they might have envisaged a c...
