Prostate cancer (PCa) and type two diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are both increasing prevalent conditions and often occur concurrently. However, the relationship between the two is more complex than just two prevalent conditions co-existing. This review systematically explores the literature around the interplay between the two conditions. It covers the impact of pre-existing T2DM on PCa incidence, ...

Critical self-referent attributions were assessed in 116 kindergarteners (Study 1) and 159 adolescents (Study 2) using a hypothetical vignet...

Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a highly prevalent genetic disorder whose manifestations include developmental disability and sometimes mental retardation. The few studies that have examined brain morphology in different samples from this population have found similar general patterns, mostly using region of interest measures. We employed voxel-based techniques to concurrently examine s...

In performance / dependability modeling, it sometimes happens that two events are scheduled to occur at the same time. In this case, the modeler has two alternatives: specify an ordering, (perhaps deterministically or probabilistically), or leave the order unspecified. If the order is unspecified, it is assumed that the order does not matter, or that the events can happen concurrently (simultan...
