Physician recruitment has become increasingly competitive. Organizations that recruit physicians need to establish a systematic recruitment approach that includes determining the organization's recruitment objectives, using various recruiting sources, assessing the skills and "fit" of all candidates, explaining the benefits to candidates early in the process, checking references carefully, and ...

Purpose The objectives of this open label pilot study of the homeopathic treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are to: (1) Develop preliminary estimates of treatment effects including magnitude, direction, variability and standard deviation in order to determine potential for future study; (2) Determine the length of time and number of remedies needed to achieve a 25% red...

Experience alters behavior by producing enduring changes in the neural processes that support performance. For example, performing a specific action improves the execution of that action via changes in associated sensory and motor neural circuitry, and experience using language improves language comprehension by altering the anatomy and physiology of perisylvian neocortical brain regions. Here ...

One key event in inflammatory signaling is the activation of the initiator caspase, procaspase-1. Presented here is the crystal structure of the procaspase-1 zymogen without its caspase recruitment domain solved to 2.05 A. Although the isolated domain is monomeric in solution, the protein appeared dimeric in crystals. The loop arrangements in the dimer provide insight into the first autoproteol...

The dynamic and flexible nature of memories is evident in our ability to adopt multiple visual perspectives. Although autobiographical memories are typically encoded from the visual perspective of our own eyes they can be retrieved from the perspective of an observer looking at our self. Here, we examined the neural mechanisms of shifting visual perspective during long-term memory retrieval and...

The role of sleep in patients diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome is not fully understood. Studies of polysomnographic and quantitative sleep electroencephalographic (EEG) measures have provided contradictory results, with few consistent findings in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). For the most part, it appears that delta EEG activity may provide the best discrimination between...
