The goal of this study was to examine structured language skills in children with perinatal strokes. Participants were 28 school-age children with early focal brain lesions (17 with left hemisphere [LH] damage, 11 with right hemisphere [RH] damage), and 57 controls. A standardized test of language (Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-Revised) was administered. Receptive, Expressive, an...

The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of selection for improved residual feed intake on behavior, activity, and lesion scores in gilts in their home pen. A total of 192 gilts were used, 96 from a line that had been selected for decreased residual feed intake over 5 generations (LRFI) and 96 from a randomly bred control line. Gilts were housed in 12 pens (16 gilts/pen; 0.82 m...

Introduction The aim of this study was to correlate lesion depth of natural caries, measured with Polarized Light Microscopy (PLM), to Canary Numbers (CN) derived from The Canary System™ (CS), numerical readings from DIAGNOdent (DD), and lesion scores from ICDAS II. Methods A total of 20 examination sites on extracted human molars and premolars were selected. The selected examination sites co...

Lesion-behaviour mapping aims at predicting individual behavioural deficits, given a certain pattern of brain lesions. It also brings fundamental insights on organization, as lesions can be understood interventions normal function. We focus here the case stroke. The most standard approach to lesion-behaviour is mass-univariate analysis, but it inaccurate due correlations between different regio...

BACKGROUND Emotional intelligence (EI) is important for personal, social and career success and has been linked to the frontal anterior cingulate, insula and amygdala regions. AIM To ascertain which stroke lesion sites impair emotional intelligence and relation to current frontal assessment measurements. METHODS One hundred consecutive, non aphasic, independently functioning patients post s...

Fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology is now an integral part of the pre-operative investigation of breast lesions and the therapeutic protocol is today often planned on the basis of cytodiagnosis. However, from time to time the cytological picture may be equivocal or inconclusive. In recent years, nucleolar organizer region (NOR) scores have been explored for potential value in the diagnosis o...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Histopathologic studies have reported widespread cortical lesions in MS; however, in vivo detection by using routinely available pulse sequences is challenging. We investigated the relative frequency and subtypes of cortical lesions and their relationships to white matter lesions and cognitive and physical disability. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cortical lesions were identifi...

s of papers 17 of E. maxima at the gut level by measuring plasma carotenoid concentrations. Ionophore sensitivity profiles of eight E. maxima field strains were determined using the traditional evaluation of efficacy parameters, including: lesion scores, weight gain and feed conversion. The results demonstrated that Avatec-medicated, infected chickens had a significant (P<.05) improvement in ca...
