lynestrenol 0.5 mg.(exlution) given to patients orally from the first day of their cycle in a continuous manner suppressed cervical mucorrhea and spinbarkeit sufficiently ennough to stop sperm penetration to the cervical canal. fern reactions were mostly negative and all post- coital examinations (sims huhner tests) showed an absence of spermatozoa.

The problem of infertility has been engaging the attention of physicians from ancient times. It was known even then that the male was responsible for sterile marriages in 30-40% of the cases (Israel 1967), which can be assessed by routine semen analysis and by the Sims-Huhner post coital test. In the English translation of Sushruta Samhita the importance of healthy seminal fluid has been stated...

The Medical Symptom Validity Test (MSVT) is a widely used memory test with three built-in effort measures that aim to detect feigning. We evaluated the merits of the MSVT as a broad screening tool for symptom validity. In study 1, we interviewed participants (N = 54) about the symptoms that they would and would certainly not feign. Non-specific somatic symptoms and depression were mentioned mos...

The aim of the present study was to compare the accuracy of the Amsterdam Short Term Memory (ASTM) test with that of the Structured Inventory of the Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) in detecting feigning of cognitive dysfunction in naïve and coached participants. Ninety undergraduate students were administered the ASTM and the SIMS and asked to respond honestly (controls; n = 30), or instructed...

Undergraduate students were administered the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) and the Structured Inventory of the Malingered Symptomatology (SIMS) and asked to respond honestly, or instructed to feign cognitive dysfunction due to head injury. Before both instruments were administered, symptom-coached feigners were provided with some information about brain injury, while feigners who received a...

OF THESIS THE UTILITY OF THE STRUCTURED INVENTORY OF MALINGERED SYMPTOMATOLOGY AS A SCREEN FOR THE FEIGNING OF NEUROCOGNITIVE DEFICIT AND PSYCHOPATHOLOGY IN A CIVIL FORENSIC SAMPLE Detection of malingering is a significant concern in forensic psychological assessments. The best-validated tests currently available are time-intensive for both test-takers and mental health professionals. Thus, wel...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate siMS score and siMS risk score, novel continuous metabolic syndrome scores as methods for quantification of metabolic status and risk. MATERIALS AND METHODS Developed siMS score was calculated using formula: siMS score = 2*Waist/Height + Gly/5.6 + Tg/1.7 + TAsystolic/130-HDL/1.02 or 1.28 (for male or female subjects, respectively). siMS risk score was calculated using fo...

Global warming is increasing ocean temperatures, forcing marine organisms to respond a suite of changing environmental conditions. The stable oxygen isotopic composition otoliths often used as an index temperature exposure, but the accuracy resulting reconstructions in wild, free-swimming Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua ) has never been groundtruthed. Based on temperatures from data storage tags (D...
