This paper reports estimates of the prevalence of mental retardation and associated factors based on a population survey of 2- to 9-year-old children in Greater Karachi, Pakistan. A two-phase survey was implemented during the years 1988-1989. In the first phase, a cluster sample of 6,365 children (5,748 from urban areas and 617 from rural areas) was screened for disabilities using a parental re...

We evaluated a kindred with X-linked mental retardation and epilepsy. Seven affected males with mild to moderate mental retardation developed seizures (primarily generalized, tonic-clonic, and atonic) that began on average at 6.8 months of age (range, 4 to 14 months). These patients did not have a history of infantile spasms. There were no dysmorphic features. Other than mental retardation, the...

A comprehensive understanding of the basic visual and cognitive abilities of individuals with mental retardation is critical for understanding the basis of mental retardation and for the design of remediation programs. We assessed visual search abilities in individuals with mild mental retardation and in MA- and CA-matched comparison groups. Our goal was to determine the effect of decreasing ta...

Mental retardation is significantly sub average intellectual functioning present from birth or early infancy, causing limitations in the ability to conduct normal activities of daily living. Level of mental retardation, maternal age, family history of mental retardation and consanguinity associated disorder was recorded from data given by parents or center of rehabilitation.

The time course of chromosome movement and decay of half-spindle birefringence retardation in anaphase have been precisely determined in the endosperm cell of a plant Tilia americana and in the egg of an animal Asterias forbesi. For each species, the anaphase retardation decay rate constant and chromosome velocity are similar exponential functions of temperature. Over the temperature range at w...
