BACKGROUND We know that poor sleep can have important implications for a variety of health outcomes and some evidence suggests a link between sleep and aggressive behavior. However, few studies have looked at this relationship among African-Americans in the United States. METHODS Data from the National Survey of American Life (NSAL) and the NSAL Adult Re-Interview were used to examine associa...

The frequency, course, and inter-relationships of atypical eating, sleeping, self-injurious behavior, aggression and temper tantrums in children with autism and children with a history of language impairment (HLI), was investigated using a parent interview that was created to examine these problem behaviors. The relationships between these behaviors and language, IQ, severity of autistic sympto...

This occupied seasonally by nomadic people beginning Holocene. study provide very little data on remains daub confirms application grass, as a tem...

It has been suggested that irreversibility of alveolar flow combined with a stretched and folded pattern of streamlines can lead to a sudden increase in mixing in the lung. To determine whether this phenomenon is operative in the human lung in vivo, we performed a series of bolus studies with a protocol designed to induce complex folding patterns. Boli of 0.5- and 1-microm-diameter particles we...

Background First-pass perfusion CMR utilizes accelerated imaging to achieve high spatial resolution and coverage within a small acquisition window. Several compressed sensing (CS) methods have been proposed to accelerate perfusion imaging. However, patient motion due to imperfect breathholding and other factors leads to degraded quality of CS-reconstructed images. We recently demonstrated a CS ...
