Hawkins GE, Wagenmakers EJ, Ratcliff R, Brown SD. Discriminating evidence accumulation from urgency signals in speeded decision making. J Neurophysiol 114: 40–47, 2015.—First published April 22, 2015; doi:10.1152/jn.00088.2015. The dominant theoretical paradigm in explaining decision making throughout both neuroscience and cognitive science is known as “evidence accumulation”—the core idea bein...

The extension of timed formalisms to a hybrid setting with urgency, has been carried out in a rather straightforward manner, seemingly without difficulty. However, in this paper, we show that the combination of urgency with abstraction from continuous variables leads to undesired behavior. Abstraction from continuous variables ultimately leads to a timed system again, but with a much richer set...

AIMS We used data from the General Longitudinal Overactive Bladder Evaluation (GLOBE) to understand predictors of variation in urgency and urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms over time. METHODS A random sample of Geisinger Clinic primary care patients (men and women) 40+ years of age were recruited for a survey of bladder control symptoms at baseline and 12 months later. Symptom questions used...

Negative urgency, the tendency to act rashly when distressed, is characterized by high Neuroticism, low Conscientiousness, and low Agreeableness. Because of this set of characteristics, the authors hypothesized that (1) negative urgency (NU) is a particularly important predictor of externalizing dysfunction; (2) traits that reflect primarily high Neuroticism predict internalizing dysfunction; a...

Purpose: To compare urgency symptoms in women with interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) and overactive bladder (OAB). Materials and Methods: Women with diagnoses of IC/BPS (n=194) and OAB (n=85) were recruited from the clinical practices of Urologists (n=8) and Gynecologists (n=16) with recognized expertise in the diagnosis and management of these conditions. Subjects completed ...

The paper explains the need and urgency for an intellectual debate on Medical pluralism. This debate has to take place in an environment of positive thinking, openness to understand diverse knowledge systems and a felt need to look for better option to fill the gaps of conventional medicine and above all the importance of taking healthcare to the cross section of the community which is affordab...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the validity in Belgium of the National Triage Scale for judgement of the urgency of a patient's condition and making a case-mix description of the patient profiles in the different urgency categories. The study is of a descriptive retrospective and descriptive correlational design and was carried out in the emergency department at the University Hosp...

Dynamism was originally defined as the proportion of online versus offline orders in the literature on dynamic logistics. Such a definition however, loses meaning when considering purely dynamic problems where all customer requests arrive dynamically. Existing measures of dynamism are limited to either (1) measuring the proportion of online versus offline orders or (2) measuring urgency, a conc...
