Recent studies have produced mixed evidence about inequity aversion in nonhuman primates. Brosnan et al. [Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B. Biological Sciences 272:253-258, 2005] found inequity aversion in chimpanzees and argued that effort is crucial, if subjects are to evaluate how they are rewarded in comparison to a competitor for an identical performance. In this study ...

OBJECTIVE A pilot study was conducted to determine whether untrained examiners could agree on palpatory findings in the cervical spine. DESIGN Fifty-three university students, (most of whom were chiropractic students), had their cervical spines examined by seven different chiropractors using their own clinical methods, of which motion palpation was a common, but not standard component. SETT...

An extensive body of research demonstrates that children increase the stability of marriage. However, it is not clear whether the theories explaining greater marital stability among parents can be applied to the increasing number of cohabiting couples who have children, as cohabitation plays more varied roles in the family system than marriage. Furthermore, theories about children and marital s...

We present deep infrared (2.2μm) imaging of the Galactic microquasars 1E1740-2942 and GRS 1758-258 using the Keck-I 10-meter telescope in June 1998. The observations were taken under excellent seeing conditions (∼ 0.45 full-width half-maximum), making them exceptionally deep for these crowded fields. We used the USNO-A2.0 catalog to astrometrically calibrate the infrared images (along with an o...

UNLABELLED Despite the growing understanding of the pathophysiological processes in the perioperative period and significant advancements in surgical techniques, operative treatment for gastric cancer remains a challenge for surgeons, especially because the primary procedure of total or nearly total gastrectomy must at times be extended by the resection of other organs. The aim of the study was...

BACKGROUND Several molecular assays have been developed to detect the BRAF V600E mutation in fine needle aspirates (FNAs) for the diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer. Using a multiplex PCR technique, we evaluated the Anyplex BRAF V600E Real-time Detection (Anyplex) assay and compared its efficacy with that of the Seeplex BRAF V600E ACE Detection (Seeplex) method. METHODS We tested 258 conse...

Background: Pont's Index was established to predict maxillary dental arch width from the sum of the mesiodistal diameters of the four maxillary incisors (interincisal width) of the French population. However, the use of Pont's Index in predicting ideal arch shape in orthodontics has been controversial due to racial differences. Pont suggested that the reliability of this Index be tested in othe...

Because patients are the best source of information for quality of life data, they may provide a unique perspective on how quality of life is currently assessed and defined. A sample of 65 lung cancer patients evaluated three currently available quality of life self-report questionnaires: the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung Version Scale (FACT-L), the Functional Living IndexCancer ...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to investigate the level of agreement between tumor sizes measured on ultrasonography (US) and in pathological specimens of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) and to identify the US characteristics contributing to discrepancies in these measurements. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the US findings and pathological reports of 490 tumors in 431 patients w...
