BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Prior research has indicated a number of neuropsychological deficits in patients with OCD consistent with the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical model of the disorder. Response inhibition (RI), defined as the inability to inhibit a prepotent response, has been identified as a possible candidate endophenotype for OCD. However, the results from previous studies of RI in OC...

trauma is the most common cause of mortality and morbidity in pediatric population. caring for the injured child requires special knowledge, precise management, and scrupulous attention to details. all clinicians who are responsible for the care of a pediatric trauma patient, including pediatricians, pediatric emergency room clinicians, and trauma surgeons, must be familiar with every tenet of ...

RATIONALE Gastric cancer patient with cold agglutinin syndrome (CAS) is an extremely rare entity. This kind of patients is very sensitive to the environment, and they always need scrupulous perioperative treatment, however the experience of perioperative treatment for these patients has been seldom reported. PATIENT CONCERNS The patient was a 54-year-old male. He suffered diarrhea for 3 month...

T HE NUMBERS OF CIRCULATING EUSINOPHILS in mice of various strains have been found to be characteristic for the strain provided that scrupulous care is exercised to maintain constancy of conditions of observation. This paper presents data characterizing six to eight month old male mice of several inbred strains. It further describes circumstances of study in which reproducible results have been...

Introduction / objectives The proper management of infectious conditions often requires optimized clinical decisions based on a complex decision making process. Computers are able to aid this process only if the medical knowledge used is machine readable, which requires scrupulous preparation and modeling. Here we describe and evaluate a dynamic model framework for Urinary Tract Infection (UTI).

The partition based k-means cluster used to group anomaly traffic data aggregates, form the cluster with distance measure as the parameter of normal and anomaly clusters. However frequent variation on the data propagation change the value of the traffic data packets influenced by scrupulous nodes polluting the normal data packets. The dynamic and frequent changes of the propagation data, genera...

We describe 3 symptomatic cases of neurologic syphilis that occurred after the administration of the usual therapy for primary or secondary syphilis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients. We discuss the difficulty of diagnosing neurosyphilis, the need for lumbar puncture, and risk factors of relapse. Because HIV infection may alter the natural history and response of neurologi...

information centres. Nevertheless, the onset of recovery was rapid. The important late effect of the poisoning was the development of jejunal ulceration and diverticula formation, and hence the formation of strictures remains a real possibility. The induction of a diuresis seemed to play a particularly important part in preventing acute renal damage. The prognosis in methylene chloride poisonin...
