Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a chronic illness that affects approximately 1.6% of the population1 and represents one of the main causes of incapacitation worldwide.2 In the last 10 years, BD has been shown to be a heterogeneous disorder, with wide variations in symptomatology and course.3 Despite the advances in research methods used in biological psychiatry and the current knowledge of the mechani...

The diagnostic accuracy of 64‐slice CTA, currently the most widely used CTA system, has been well established by several multicenter studies [4–6]. In a recent prospective multicenter, multivendor trial by Meijboom and coworkers, high diagnostic accuracy of 64‐slice CTA was observed in the evaluation of 360 symptomatic patients with acute and stable angina [5]. On a per‐patient basis, the sensi...

We used computer analysis of differential equations to study the properties of a family of models of a unit of neural circuitry in the amphibian tectum, the tectal column. Computer experiments were used to discriminate among various hypotheses and to suggest new experiments. Particular attention was paid to physiological data on facilitation of amphibian prey-catching behavior which led us to m...

The drilling of bone is ubiquitous in many fields of surgery including orthopaedics, neurosurgery, plastics and reconstructive, craniomaxillofacial and ear nose and throat (ENT). A cylindrical tunnel is typically prepared in bone using a surgical drill-bit to accommodate a screw or other threaded device for rigid fixation which is provided by the integration of bone (cancellous and/or cortical)...

It has been known for many years that administration of corticosteroids can cause atrophy of the adrenal glands (Ingle and Kendall, 1937), and that the severity of the atrophy is proportional to the duration of administration (Salassa, Bennett, Keating, and Sprague, 1953; Bennett, 1954). Kilby, Bennett, and Sprague (1957) described degranulation of the basophil cells of the pituitary which also...

An important part of financial planning in product development is considering whether the capital expenditures meet volume and cost goals. A good business plan should provide investors with the implications of process selection on the company's bottom line. It is estimated that there are least 1000 manufacturing processes and sub-processes. Considering the number of process choices and quantity...
