To investigate a cognitive diathesis-stress model, the present study evaluated the main and interactive effects of anxiety sensitivity (AS) and exposure to aversive conditions (past month) in predicting theoretically relevant panic vulnerability variables in an epidemiologically defined sample from Russia (N = 390). Consistent with expectation, findings suggested that the combination of high le...

The study of verbal diathesis alternations over the past two decades has produced a wealth of empirical generalizations as well as many theoretical insights (see, among others, Bresnan & Kanerva 1989, Levin & Rappaport 1991, 1995, Hale & Keyser 2002, Reinhart 2002, Borer 2005). In comparison, surprisingly little work has been done during that period on diathesis alternations in adjectives. This...

OBJECTIVES To (1) use structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine relationships proposed in Turk's diathesis-stress model of chronic pain and disability as well as (2) investigate what role, if any, posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) play in predicting pain disability, relative to some of the other factors in the model. METHODS The study sample consisted of 208 patients scheduled for gene...

Background The association of atopic dermatitis (AD) and allergic contact has been a matter considerable uncertainty. Study results range from lack any to increased sensitization for multiple allergens, but fail identify consistent allergen associations. Objective We studied large patch test cohort patients stratified by their skin diathesis using the Erlangen Atopy Score (EAS), independent act...

Four cases of albinism with haemorrhagic diathesis (Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome) are presented. The cases displayed wide phenotypic variation. Electroretinography was performed on all four patients and was found to be normal. One patient developed a cutaneous malignant melanoma.

The 2.0 release of the Universal Dependency treebanks demonstrates the effectiveness of the UD scheme to cope with very diverse languages. The next step would be to get more of syntactic analysis, and the “enhanced dependencies” sketched in the UD 2.0 guidelines is a promising attempt in that direction. In this work we propose to go further and enrich the enhanced dependency scheme along two ax...

Two important haematological problems were found in an otherwise healthy 78 year old man: chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia; and a complex, acquired, hyperfibrinolytic bleeding disorder characterized by prolonged coagulation times, deficiency of coagulation factors V, X, and XI, anti-thrombin III and proteins C and S, with high concentrations of circulating tissue plasminogen activator, and low ...
