Greater accommodative lag and vergence deficits have been linked to attentional deficits similar to those observed in Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The purpose of the present study was to assess the effect of accommodative-vergence stress on a measure of sustained attention (Conners CPT) used in the diagnosis of ADHD. Twenty-seven normal non-ADHD adults completed the Conners ...

In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of motivating time-inconsistent agents to complete long term projects. We resort to an elegant graph-theoretic model, introduced by Kleinberg and Oren [4], which consists of a task graph G with n vertices, including a source s and target t, and an agent that incrementally constructs a path from s to t in order to collect rewards. The twi...

In the last decade we have been working on standardization of propolis extract and determination of active constituents of wine those are rich in polyphenolics and have nutritional as well as therapeutic value. Here we are summarizing our results and providing overview on systematic approach how to analyse natural products rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids.Chromatographic methods (thin laye...

PURPOSE The contradictory long-term results following D2 lymphadenectomy have revealed the necessity for a more tailored lymphadenectomy in cases of gastric cancer. Among the patients who had undergone a modified D2 lymphadenectomy for gastric cancer, we further analyzed the subgroup in which histologically and immunohistochemically solitary lymph node metastases were detected. Classifying the ...

Some previous investigations indicated that economic crisis (inflation in Serbia 1993/94) have great influence on increasing suicide rates in Serbia. After that suicide decreased, despite the war and bombing in 1999, specially among the elderly people. A total of 453 suicides were registered on the territory of south-eastern Serbia during 1995-2001 years. Of them 295 (65.1%) were aged over 60 y...

BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a predictor of increased mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the characteristics and predictors of increased mortality in the CKD population submitted to CABG. To compare in-hospital outcomes between patients with and without CKD, and with and without development of acute renal failure (ARF). ...

170 Mango is one of the most important and widely cultivated tropical fruits of the world. In India, it is grown in an area of 23.78 lakh hectares with an annual production of 161.98 lakh tones (Indian Horticulture Database-2012). This contributes to 37.8 per cent of total area and 18.6 per cent of total production of fruit crops in India. The plant start bearing 4 to 5 years after planting and...

this research explains the morphometric characteristics of varroa destructor anderson and trueman in tehran province. 180 adult female mites were collected from three different colonies of apis mellifera l. in three apiaries during september 2003 to may 2004. these colonies were divided according to three altitudes-less than 1000m, 1000-1500m and more than 1500m above the sea level. the morphol...

Stress is a process that increases person’s adaptive capacity and leads to the various diseases, such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart attack, cardiac arrest, stroke, mental disorders depression anxiety even sudden death. Individual response stress may depend on age, gender, features of autonomic regulation, state central nervous system, endocrine systems, higher activity. With e...

Abstract Background Chest radiography is the most common diagnostic imaging test in clinical medicine, and cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) a readily available non-invasive tool with which to assess volume status cardiomegaly. However, it remains unknown whether CTR on chest associated incidence of HF hospitalization AF patients unclear. Methods The Fushimi Registry community-based prospective survey...
