The present study examined children's use of behavioural outcome information to make personality attributions in social and non-social contexts. One hundred and twenty-eight 3- to 6-year-olds were told about a story actor who engaged in primarily successful or primarily unsuccessful interactions with several different people (social context) or several different computers (non-social context). ...

OBJECTIVE Internally guided actions are defined as being purposeful, self-generated and offering choices between alternatives. Intentional actions are essential to reach individual goals. In previous empirical studies, internally guided actions were predominantly related to functional responses in frontal and parietal areas. The aim of the present study was to distinguish event-related potentia...

Viability. -There are very few authentic cases of the survival of infants born before the twenty-seventh or twenty-eight week of pregnancy, although Home's case, which was supposed to have been born in the eighteenth week, was alive and well at nine years. Very few survive any length of time if the weight is under two pounds or the length less than thirteen inches. Oberwarth recently reported a...

In order to evaluate the effect of intrathecal gentamicin on gram-negative bacillary meningitis, twenty-eight patients were treated with intralumbar or intraventricular gentamicin in combination with systemic gentamicin and with other antibiotics. Sterile cerebrospinal fluid was achieved in 21/22 (95%) episodes of documented gram-negative bacillary meningitis in patients who received more than ...

The objective of this study was to replicate the association between atypical handedness and psychosis-proneness in a representative sample of adolescents from the general population. It expands previous studies by (1) analyzing a variety of atypical handedness indexes (left, mixed, ambiguous, and inconsistent), (2) measuring comprehensively the multidimensionality of psychosis-proneness, and (...

A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial of intravenous methylprednisolone versus oral methylprednisolone at equivalent high dose was carried out on 35 patients with an acute relapse of multiple sclerosis (MS). After baseline evaluation each was randomly allocated to oral treatment and intravenous placebo or intravenous treatment and oral placebo, receiving 500 mg of methylprednisolon...

We give twenty eight diverse proofs of the fundamental Euler sum identity ζ(2, 1) = ζ(3) = 8 ζ(2, 1). We also discuss various generalizations for multiple harmonic (Euler) sums and some of their many connections, thereby illustrating the wide variety of techniques fruitfully used to study such sums and the attraction of their study.

The International Society for Hip Arthroscopy (ISHA) Annual Scientific Meeting is at the forefront of informing today's orthopaedic surgeons and society of the rapid advances in the exponentially growing field of hip arthroscopy.
