Febrile seizure is a common disorder between children with age of 6 month to 6 years and its recurrence is an emotional trauma for parents. Causative factors of febrile seizure have not been completely identified. In this study we determined the correlation between causative factors and probability of febrile seizure occurrence. This study was performed on 344 children factors related to febril...

Certain verbs (e.g. bend, break) can undergo the causative alternation, appearing both in a transitive form (John bent the lever) and an intransitive form (The lever bent). To explain this alternation, linguists have proposed that the transitive form of the alternation conveys an action with an explicitly causative structure— for example that John bent the lever indirectly conveys the propositi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The most reliable method for confirming the causative allergens of allergic rhinitis is the skin prick test, followed by the multiple allergen simultaneous test (MAST), which reportedly has acceptable sensitivity and specificity. This study was designed to confirm whether a novel MAST-immunoblot assay can reliably diagnose allergic rhinitis. METHODS A retrospective c...

this project investigates the relationship between lexical semantics and causative morphology in the acquisition of causative/inchoative-related verbs in english as a foreign language by iranian speakers. results of translation and picture judgment task show although l2 learners have largely acquired the correct lexico-syntactic classification of verbs in english, they were constrained by the m...

BACKGROUND Inactivating mutations of the gene RS1 lead to X-linked retinoschisis, a progressive retinal dystrophy characterised by schisis within the inner layers of the neuroretina. The mutation spectrum is large and the phenotype variable. AIM To determine whether there is a correlation between mutation type and disease severity. METHODS We identified the causative mutation in 86 affected...
