INTRODUCTION Improving social inclusion opportunities for population health has been identified as a priority area for international policy. There is a need to comprehensively examine and evaluate the quality of psychometric properties of measures of social inclusion that are used to guide social policy and outcomes. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review of the literature on all current me...

Numerous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have identified multiple cortical regions that are involved in face processing in the human brain. However, few studies have characterized the face-processing network as a functioning whole. In this study, we used fMRI to identify face-selective regions in the entire brain and then explore the hierarchical structure of the face-proce...

OBJECTIVES To review the history of clinical information systems over the past twenty-five years and project anticipated changes to those systems over the next twenty-five years. METHODS Over 250 Medline references about clinical information systems, quality of patient care, and patient safety were reviewed. Books, Web resources, and the author's personal experience with developing the HELP s...

Most of the workers have reported a very good success rate of dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR) operation. We have discussed the technique of re-operation in patients with previously unsuccessful DCR in our prospective study where 39 cases of failed DCR were operated. We have also determined the factors responsible for the failure of primary DCR and present the results of the management of failed cas...

The Chinese Aulacidae are revised, keyed and illustrated for the first time. In total twenty-five species are recorded from China, included within two genera Aulacus Jurine, 1807 and Pristaulacus Kieffer, 1900, with five and twenty species respectively. Among the treated species, six are newly described for science: Aulacus magnus sp. n., Pristaulacus calidus sp. n., Pristaulacus centralis sp. ...

Over the last twenty-five years, the tendency of historians to see extreme distinctions between Catholic and Protestant health care provision has faded away, mainly thanks to the works of Brian Pullan on Venice and Jean-Pierre Gutton on Lyons. It has become generally accepted that Catholic areas pursued efficient and highly selective welfare policies, especially as regards the control of public...

UNLABELLED Cholangiocarcinomas (CCAs) are aggressive cancers, with high mortality and poor survival rates. Only radical surgery offers patients some hope of cure; however, most patients are not surgical candidates because of late diagnosis secondary to relatively poor accuracy of diagnostic means. MicroRNAs (miRs) are involved in every cancer examined, but they have not been evaluated in primar...

The IL21R gene is comprised of 9 exons (+2 alternative first exons), spanning 48.4kb on chromosome 16p11 (Parrish-Novak, 2000). The human IL21R promoter region, contained within nucleotides -789 to +195 (relative to the start of exon 1a) induces the high levels of transcription in reporter assays (Ueda, 2002). A critical SP1 binding site is contained in the region from -80 to -20 and is essenti...

Participant modeling was tried in twenty five stutterers; auditory feedback of modelled speech and guided exposure were also done along with. The patients were able to have a fluent stuttering free speech in most situations.
