objective: the present study has been carried out to compare the social competence in two group students with intellectual disability (id) and gifted. method: this research was kind of descriptive research with 2 comparative groups. 100 gifted and intellectual disability (id) students aged 12 to 13 years (50 gifted & 50 id) were selected randomly as statistical sample. for the assessment of...

BACKGROUND Sensory processing disorders have been linked to stereotypical behaviours in children with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and to anxiety in children with ASD. In earlier phases of this study with the same participants, we found that those with both ASD and ID were more motivated than those with ID alone to engage in stereotypical behaviour to allevia...

Inhibitors of differentiation and DNA binding-1 (Id-1) have been demonstrated to oppose Ets-mediated activation of p16INK4a. As p16INK4a protein is inactivated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we aimed to investigate the role of Id-1 in regulating p16INK4a expression during the development of HCC in HCC patients and direct ectopic Id-1 introduction into the PLC/PRF/5 HCC cell line. Sixty-two ...

The helix-loop-helix protein Id-1 inhibits the activity of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors, and is an important regulator of cell growth and tissue-specific differentiation. We have shown (P. Y. Desprez et al., Mol. Cell. Biol., 18: 4577-4588, 1998) that ectopic expression of Id-1 inhibits differentiation and stimulates the proliferation and invasiveness of mouse mammary epithelial...

Infundibular dilatation (ID) can occur at the origin of the intracranial posterior communicating artery. When this type of widening is less than 3 mm in diameter and the ID reaches the posterior communicating artery, it can be called posterior communicating artery infundibular dilatation (Pcom-ID). Currently, Pcom-ID is considered a normal anatomic variation, and the majority of Pcom-IDs are st...

BACKGROUND Social desirability has been construed as either inaccurately attributing positive characteristics to oneself (self-deception), or inaccurately denying that one possesses undesirable characteristics to others (other-deception or impression management). These conceptualisations of social desirability have not been considered in relation to people with intellectual disabilities (IDs), ...

PURPOSE To develop a simple and reliable rat model of in situ reversible obstructive jaundice with low morbidity and mortality rates. METHODS Rats were divided into 4 groups with 8 rats each: the sham-operated (SH) group only underwent laparotomy, the control internal drainage (ID-C) group underwent choledochoduodenostomy, the new internal drainage (ID-N) group and the long-term internal drai...

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor c-Met are associated with increased aggressiveness of tumors and poor prognostic outcome of patients with cancer. Here, we report the development and characterization of therapeutic anti-HGF (aHGF)-Nanobodies and their potential for positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging to assess HGF expression in vivo. Two aHGF-Nanobodies designated 1E2 and...

In the present study, we introduce some new separation axioms for binary topological spaces. This idea gives notion of generalized ( T 0 , id="M2"> 1 id="M3"> 2 id="M4"> 3 and id="M5"> 4 spaces) semi id="M6"> id="M7"> id="M8"> id="M9"> id="M10"> u...

BACKGROUND Previous studies, largely based on chart reviews with small sample sizes, have demonstrated that infectious diseases (ID) specialists positively impact patient outcomes. We investigated how ID specialists impact mortality, utilization, and costs using a large claims dataset. METHODS We used administrative fee-for-service Medicare claims to identify beneficiaries hospitalized from 2...
