Background and Purpose—No controlled, randomized trial has investigated whether intravenous, intra-arterial (IAT), or mechanical thrombolysis is beneficial in children with ischemic stroke. We report 2 children who underwent IAT for acute ischemic stroke and include them in a review about intravenous thrombolysis, IAT, and mechanical thrombolysis for childhood stroke. Methods—We searched in MED...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intra-arterial treatment (IAT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) can be performed with or without general anesthesia (GA). Previous studies suggested that IAT without the use of GA (non-GA) is associated with better clinical outcome. Nevertheless, no consensus exists about the anesthetic management during IAT of AIS patients. This study investigates the associa...

1 Stigmatized obese individuals tend to internalize the pervasive weight stigma which 2 might lead to self-discrimination and increased psychopathology. While explicit and 3 implicit weight stigma can be measured using self-report questionnaires and Implicit 4 Association Tests (IAT), respectively, the assessment of self-discrimination relied 5 solely on self-report. The present study sought to...

The enzyme acetyl-CoA:isopenicillin N acyltransferase (IAT) is a peroxisomal enzyme that mediates the final step of penicillin biosynthesis in the filamentous fungi Penicillium chrysogenum and Aspergillus nidulans. However, the precise role of peroxisomes in penicillin biosynthesis is still not clear. To be able to use the power of yeast genetics to solve the function of peroxisomes in penicill...

PURPOSE To investigate the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT) for acute central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO). METHODS Records from 101 CRAO patients treated with either IAT (n = 57) or standard treatment (ST; n = 44) were retrospectively reviewed. ST consisted of ocular massage and intraocular pressure-lowering agents. We used fundoscopic and angiographic findings to ...

The Multifactor Trait IAT (MFT–IAT) is designed for implicit assessment of traits that are currently assessed in explicit (self-report) form by multi-item personality inventories. The most widely used such inventories include one known popularly as the “Big Five” and the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The problem in developing Implicit Association Test (IAT) measures of these traits is tha...

This review discusses basic features of Implicit Association Tests (IATs) that are relevant in order to estimate the suitability of IATs for the valid assessment of individual differences. We start with a description of the essential characteristics of the procedures of IATs and also refer to theoretical accounts for IAT effects. Then, we provide an overview of research on the psychometric prop...

In reporting Implicit Association Test (IAT) results, researchers have most often used scoring conventions described in the first publication of the IAT (A. G. Greenwald, D. E. McGhee, & J. L. K. Schwartz, 1998). Demonstration IATs available on the Internet have produced large data sets that were used here to evaluate alternative scoring procedures. Candidate new algorithms were examined in ter...

We used both the Extrinsic Affective Simon Task (EAST) and the Implicit Association Test (IAT) as implicit measures of inter-individual differences in attitudes towards political parties (Experiment 1), food items (Experiment 2) and homosexuality (Experiment 3). IAT but not EAST scores were related in a meaningful manner to self-report measures of the corresponding attitudes (Experiments 1-3) a...

The authors investigated whether effects of the Implicit Association Test (IAT) are influenced by salience asymmetries, independent of associations. Two series of experiments analyzed unique effects of salience by using nonassociated, neutral categories that differed in salience. In a 3rd series, salience asymmetries were manipulated experimentally while holding associations between categories ...
