Learning to read is extremely difficult for about 10% of children across cultures because they are affected by developmental dyslexia (DD). According to the dominant view, DD is considered an auditory-phonological processing deficit. However, accumulating evidence from developmental and clinical vision science, suggests that the basic cross-modal letter-to-speech sound integration deficit in DD...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has enabled the accomplishment of a more effective diagnostics of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The sample included 40 patients with clinical symptoms of disc displacement (DD) of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and 25 subjects included in our study were asymptomatic. DD were diagnosed by clinical examinations which were subsequently confirmed by MRI. DD was ...

This study considers media effects on behavior that are mediated through other social institutions. Examined is the extent to which changes over time in the amount of media attention to the issue of drunk driving (DD) may have contributed to the reduction in DD behavior between 1978 and 1996. It was hypothesized that media effects on DD behavior were mediated by policy response (i.e., legislati...

Aaron Ecay Introduction The morphology of the Basque auxiliary verb is very rich, comprising morphemes which spell out features of tense and mood, as well as the φ-features of up to three verbal arguments. This morphology has been the subject of much study, however the interaction between variation and formal analysis has been largely ignored. In this paper I demonstrate that there are rich sys...

Kidney exchange programs (KEPs) aim to find compatible kidneys for recipients with incompatible donors. Patients without a living donor depend upon deceased (DD) donations get kidney transplant. In India, ©DD donates directly a©DD wait-list. The idea of initiating an chain starting from is proposed in few articles (and executed Italy 2018), but no mathematical formulation has been given this me...

Aeluropus lagopoides is a salt and drought tolerant grass from Poaceae family, distributed widely in arid regions. There is almost no information about the genetics or genome of this close relative of wheat that stands harsh conditions of deserts. Differential Display Amplified fragment length polymorphism (DD-AFLP) led to the improvement of a non-radioactive method for which many parameters we...

Abstract Introduction A transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is recommended for non-anticoagulated patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and >48 hours of evolution requiring electrical cardioversion (ECV) to rule out the presence thrombus in left appendage (LAA). It has been proposed that D-Dimer (DD) value useful its high sensitivity negative predictive (NPV). Purpose To evaluate pre...

INTRODUCTION Constipation may be primary or secondary. Pathophysiologic subtypes of primary constipation are dyssynergic defecation (DD), slow (STC), and normal transit constipation (NTC). Clinical subtypes are functional constipation (FC) and constipation predominant IBS (C-IBS). AIMS The objectives of this paper are to study the clinical profile, categorize and compare various subtypes of p...

Density-dependent dispersal can be caused by various mechanisms, from competition inducing individuals to emigrate (positive density-dependence) to social crowding effects impeding free movement (negative density-dependence). Various spatial population models have incorporated positively density-dependent dispersal algorithms, and recent theoretical models have explored the conditions for densi...

PURPOSE There is ambiguity about using the term "knuckle pads" in Dupuytren's disease (DD). Clear definitions of dorsal knuckle pads and nodules are lacking and the prevalence of these 2 entities has not been determined. We sought to define these terms and investigate the distribution and frequency of dorsal knuckle pads and dorsal nodules in the normal volunteers and in DD patients. METHODS ...
