The current study examined the impact of age, ongoing task (OT) difficulty, and cue salience on 4- and 5-year-old children's prospective memory (PM) and also explored the relation between individual differences in executive function (working memory, inhibition, and shifting) and PM. OT difficulty and cue salience are predicted to affect the detection of PM cues based on the multiprocess framewo...

A 17-year-old man, who had received a diagnosis of juvenile polymyositis (PM) at the age of 1 year, developed recurrent spontaneous pneumothoraces and underwent surgical treatment by means of video-assisted thoracic surgery. Intraoperative observation and microscopic studies demonstrated numerous bleb-like lesions below the visceral pleura. To our knowledge, this is the first article that descr...

We evaluated the association between mortality outcomes in elderly individuals and particulate matter (PM) of varying aerodynamic diameters (in micrometers) [PM(10), PM(2.5), and PM(CF )(PM(10) minus PM(2.5))], and selected particulate and gaseous phase pollutants in Phoenix, Arizona, using 3 years of daily data (1995-1997). Although source apportionment and epidemiologic methods have been prev...

over the last two decades a main focus in obesity research in iran has been on finding variables associated with body weight. it is now clear that prevalence of obesity is not uniform in urban communities, its distribution being dependent to a large extent on such variables as age and gender, as well as socio-economic factors. more specifically, the available information indicates that in the a...

Pediatric-modified diagnosis-related groups (PM-DRGs) were designed to describe more accurately than DRGs differences in severity of illness and charges across pediatric patients. We report on an evaluation of PM-DRGs for use in prospective payment systems (PPSs). Data on pediatric discharges (i.e., patients 17 years of age or under) from 5 States and a national sample of 43 hospitals were used...

OBJECTIVE To define potential factors that could predict concomitant neoplastic diseases in patients diagnosed with PM/DM, which could inform screening decisions. METHODS Two researchers independently reviewed articles from Pubmed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Cochrane Plus Library and ISI Web of Knowledge with no restrictions on study design or language. Given that some of the studies combined PM and D...

BACKGROUND Acute coronary syndromes present with an increased incidence from 6:00 AM to 12:00 noon. Whether endothelial function follows a diurnal rhythm and whether this rhythm is impaired in coronary artery disease (CAD) has not previously been studied. METHODS AND RESULTS Diurnal variation in endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was examined in 10 CAD patients and 10 control subjects. Fore...

OBJECTIVE The physical function of PM/DM patients after remission induction therapy remains unknown adequately. The aim of our study was to evaluate the present status of physical dysfunction and to clarify the clinical manifestations and myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) associated with physical dysfunction after treatment in PM/DM. METHODS We obtained clinical data including the age a...
