Background: Though plausible candidate adhesion systems have been identified, current knowledge of embryo-maternal attachment in human is limited by the inability to conduct well-controlled functional investigations. We have sought a viable medium-throughput model for the identification and functional assessment of molecular markers in the initial epithelial phases of implantation. An ideal mod...

A 79-year-old man was admitted to hospital from his nursing home for treatment of pneumonia, but died 7 days after admission. Legionella pneumonia was diagnosed after isolation of Legionella pneumophila serogroup-5 from sputum culture. The environment of the nursing home was investigated; only water specimens from the 24-hour bath were positive by culture for Legionella pneumophila serogroup-5....

INTRODUCTION Among allergic patients, pet avoidance is commonly recommended. It is difficult for patients to accomplish this because of their emotional attachment to the pets, and its effectiveness is controversial. OBJECTIVE To explore the applicability and effectiveness of pet avoidance measures among sensitized patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated 288 patients with asthma, rhinit...

OBJECTIVE To examine infant attachment and developmental functioning shortly after international adoption. METHODS At 14 months, infant-mother attachment and mental (MDI) and psychomotor (PDI) development were assessed in 70 internationally adopted children. Mean age at arrival was 5.5 months, mean stay in the adoptive family 8.7 months. RESULTS Adopted children's MDI and PDI did not deviat...

Brief pre-exposure of HeLa cells to micromolar concentrations of selenite resulted in a dose-dependent decrease in the rate of their sub sequent attachment to a solid matrix (tissue culture dish). Similar low concentrations of selenite also inhibited colony formation, but only when the cells were exposed prior to their attaching to the dish, not when they were exposed after attachment. This ind...

Introduction: Place attachment influences the way adolescents form their identity. The home and school environments, as two main provide foundation for development of adolescent Positive to both these environments can with a sense stability consistency, helping them understand who they are, where come from, what is important them. This study aimed explore place profile in environment formation ...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between attachment security in children aged 24 months and their risk for obesity at 4½ years of age. Insecure attachment is associated with unhealthy physiologic and behavioral responses to stress, which could lead to development of obesity. DESIGN Cohort study. SETTING National sample of US children born in 2001. PARTICIPANTS Children and mothers pa...

aim and background: complex nature of children`s affectionate problems requires assessment and usage of modern treatments. the present study aimed to investigate the effects of attachment-based therapy on depression symptoms in girl students of primary school who had attachment problems. methods and materials: this study was an empirical plan with pretest-posttest, follow up and control group. ...
