objective: serotonin reuptake inhibitors are frequently used in first-line treatments for patients ‎with obsessive-compulsive disorder. nevertheless, many of these patients do not ‎respond well to initial therapy. the hypothesis of glutamatergic dysfunction in specific ‎brain regions has been proposed in the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive ‎disorder. this study was designed to evaluate ...

CONTEXT Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic psychiatric disorder that affects 2% of the general population. Even when the best available treatments are applied, approximately 10% of patients remain severely afflicted and run a long-term deteriorating course of OCD. OBJECTIVE To determine whether bilateral deep brain stimulation of the nucleus accumbens is an effective and safe tr...

Seidel and Smith have constructed an invariant of links as the Floer cohomology for two Lagrangians inside a complex affine variety Y. This variety is the intersection of a semisimple orbit with a transverse slice at a nilpotent in the Lie algebra sl2m. We exhibit bijections between a set of generators for the Seidel-Smith cochain complex, the generators in Bigelow’s picture of the Jones polyno...

The double Fourier series of functions of the generalized bounded variation class {n/ ln(n + 1)}∗BV are shown to be Pringsheim convergent everywhere. In a certain sense, this result cannot be improved. In general, functions of class Λ∗BV, defined here, have quadrant limits at every point and, for f ∈ Λ∗BV, there exist at most countable sets P and Q such that, for x / ∈ P and y / ∈ Q, f is conti...

We consider an abstract equation F (λ, u) = 0 with one parameter λ, where F ∈ C(R × X,Y ), p ≥ 2 is a nonlinear differentiable mapping, and X,Y are Banach spaces. We apply Lyapunov-Schmidt procedure and Morse Lemma to obtain a “double” saddle-node bifurcation theorem near a degenerate point with a two-dimensional kernel. It is shown that the solution set of the equation is the union of two para...

Using polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering, we show that interstitial Fe in superconducting Fe(1+y)Te(1-x)Se(x) induces a magnetic Friedel-like oscillation that diffracts at Q⊥=(1/2 0) and involves >50 neighboring Fe sites. The interstitial >2μ(B) moment is surrounded by compensating ferromagnetic four-spin clusters that may seed double stripe ordering in Fe(1+y)Te. A semimetallic five-...

Fifty cases of 1epromatous leprosy we re inc Juded in a double blind trial to assess the therapeutic value of D A D D S in lepromatous lepros y using DDS as the control drug. During the period of 1 9 months the study has been in progress, 2 8 cases were lost to the study owing to patients going away on voluntar y d ischarge , etc. In the 2 2 cases who continued to participa t e in the study ove...

Patients with a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass may be challenging diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas for gastroenterologists and endoscopists due to anatomic considerations. Pancreaticobiliary limb pathology is particularly difficult to diagnose from standard endoscopic approaches as it often requires double balloon enteroscopy. Percutaneous access and gastrostomy placement into the gastric remnant,...

In this paper we apply some new and some old methods in order to construct classical and intuitionistic models for theories of bounded arithmetic. We use these models to obtain proof theoretic consequences. In particular, we construct an ωchain of models of BASIC such that the union of its worlds satisfies S2 but none of its worlds satisfies the sentence ∀x∃y(x = 0 ∨ x = y + 1). Interpreting th...

We explain effective charge anomalies recently observed for fractional quantum Hall edge states at ν=5/2 [M. Dolev, Y. Gross, Y. C. Chung, M. Heiblum, V. Umansky, and D. Mahalu, Phys. Rev. B 81, 161303(R) (2010)]. The experimental data of differential conductance and excess noise are fitted, using the anti-Pfaffian model, by properly taking into account renormalizations of the Luttinger paramet...
