BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of bipolar spectrum disorder (BSD) in the general Korean population. METHODS A sample of college students (n = 1026) was stratified to reflect geographical differences accurately in Korean college students. The Korean version of the Mood Disorder Questionnaire (K-MDQ) was administered and an epidemiological survey carried out b...

The morbidity and societal burden of youth bipolar spectrum disorders (BSD) are high. These disorders are multisystemic in that adult populations there are clear interactions with inflammatory processes and steroidal physiological systems. There are much less data concerning these areas of study in youth populations with BSD. This is surprising given the association of youth-onset BSD with pube...

PURPOSE Despite a growing body of knowledge on bipolar spectrum disorder (BSD), relatively little is known about the clinical characteristics of BSD in elderly people. We investigated the prevalence of BSD in elderly patients with recurrent depression. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 65 elderly outpatients (≥60 years of age) who met the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV...

Abstract The synergic relationship between physiology, ecology, and evolutionary process makes the body-size distribution (BSD) an essential component of community ecology. Body size is highly susceptible to environmental change, extreme upheavals, such as during a mass extinction event, could exert drastic changes on taxon's BSD. It has been hypothesized that Late Triassic event (LTE) was trig...

Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan inovasi model Problem-Based Learning (PBL) menggunakan teknologi Nearpod Bank Sampah Digital (BSD). Metode penelitian digunakan adalah metode literature review desa...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a neuromodulation technique that noninvasively depolarizes neurons in the brain. During TMS, pulse (or multiple pulses) of time-varying field (H) delivered to brain using specialized coils. The quadruple butterfly coil (QBC) novel design shows increased focality induced electric over standard figure-of-eight (FoE) coil. Using 50 different head models c...

We introduce UVM, a new virtual memory system for the BSD kernel that has a streamlined design that improves system performance over the old Mach-based 4.4BSD VM system. In this paper we present an overview of both UVM and the BSD VM system. We focus our discussion on the design decisions made when creating UVM and contrast the UVM design with the less efficient BSD VM design. Topics covered in...

The Biodegradative Strain Database (BSD) is a freely-accessible, web-based database providing detailed information on degradative bacteria and the hazardous substances that they degrade, including corresponding literature citations, relevant patents and links to additional web-based biological and chemical data. The BSD (http://bsd.cme.msu.edu) is being developed within the phylogenetic framewo...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with biliary sphincterotomy (BS) is the usual method for extracting common bile duct stones. However, following BS and by means of extraction balloons and Dormia baskets a complete bile duct clearance cannot be achieved in all cases. We present a study on the impact that hydrostatic balloon dilation of a previous BS (BSD) ...

The web has evolved from a technological platform to a real social milieu thereby becoming a continuous source of Big Social Data (BSD). BSD is characterized by a combination of factual content such as the coordinates of a restaurant, the content of a webpage or the title of a movie, behavior data such as exchanges between social relationships, as well as subjective data such as users’ opinions...
