Age-related changes in the electrophysiological response to visual stimulus novelty: A topographical approach
(Elsevier BV, 1996)
The relationship of task relevance and stimulus probability to P300 morphology, latency and distribution was assessed. Eight year olds and adults completed visual oddball tasks of recognition memory with frequent non-target ...
Neural Correlates of Infants’ Visual Responsiveness to Facial Expressions of Emotion
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1996)
An extensive literature documents the infant's ability to recognize and discriminate a variety of facial expressions of emotion. However, little is known about the neural bases of this ability. To examine the neural processes ...
Development of Preterm and Full-Term Infant Ability on AB, Recall Memory, Transparent Barrier Detour, and Means-End Tasks
(Society for Research in Child Development, 1996)
10 preterm and 10 full-term infants were tested longitudinally from 28 to 60 weeks of age on a modified version of the AB task, a nonreaching AB task, a Barrier Detour task, a Means-End task, and Perseveration in the ...
Utilization of Biomarker Data for Clinical and Environmental Intervention.
(1996)
Of the 189 air toxics listed in the Clean Air Act, a substantial number are important in potentially causing adverse health effects in several organ systems. Although the major health effects are manifested as respiratory ...
Social Inequalities and Emerging Infectious Diseases
(Centers for Disease Control, 1996)
Although many who study emerging infections subscribe to social-production-of-disease theories, few have examined the contribution of social inequalities to disease emergence. Yet such inequalities have powerfully sculpted ...
Loss and restoration of immune privilege in eyes with corneal neovascularization
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 1996)
PURPOSE: To delineate the time course for loss of immune privilege after induction of corneal neovascularization (NV), and to test whether treatment with angiostatic agents can restore the eye's capacity to induce anterior ...
Adenosine mediates hypoxic induction of vascular endothelial growth factor in retinal pericytes and endothelial cells
(Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 1996)
PURPOSE: To determine the mechanistic role for adenosine and adenosine receptors in the hypoxic induction of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in retinal microvascular cells. METHODS: Bovine retinal capillary ...
Precipitating Factors for Delirium in Hospitalized Elderly Persons
(American Medical Association (AMA), 1996)
OBJECTIVES: To prospectively develop and validate a predictive model for delirium based on precipitating factors during hospitalization, and to examine the interrelationship of precipitating factors and baseline vulnerability. ...
Functional outcomes of acute medical illness and hospitalization in older persons
(American Medical Association (AMA), 1996)
BACKGROUND: Short-stay hospitalization in older patients is frequently associated with a loss of function, which can lead to a need for postdischarge assistance and longer-term institutionalization. Because little is known ...
