The role of retrieval inhibition in the associative memory impairment of schizophrenia
(Elsevier BV, 2007)
To examine retrieval-induced forgetting (RIF) in schizophrenia, subjects studied category-exemplar words taken from either strong or weak categories, and then practiced retrieval by completing category word-stems on half ...
Prefrontal cortical thickness in first-episode psychosis: a magnetic resonance imaging study
(Elsevier BV, 2004)
Background: Findings from postmortem studies suggest reduced prefrontal cortical thickness in schizophrenia; however, cortical thickness in first-episode schizophrenia has not been evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging ...
Comparison of the Modified Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study and Mild Macular Grid Laser Photocoagulation Strategies for Diabetic Macular Edema
(American Medical Association, 2007)
Purpose: To compare two laser photocoagulation techniques for treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME): modified-ETDRS direct/grid photocoagulation (mETDRS) and a, potentially milder, but potentially more extensive, mild ...
Reproducibility of Macular Thickness and Volume Using Zeiss Optical Coherence Tomography in Patients with Diabetic Macular Edema
(Elsevier, 2007)
Purpose: To evaluate optical coherence tomography (OCT) reproducibility in patients with diabetic macular edema (DME). Design: Prospective one day observational study. Participants: 212 eyes (107 subjects) with DME involving ...
Associations Between End-of-Life Discussions, Patient Mental Health, Medical Care Near Death, and Caregiver Bereavement Adjustment
(American Medical Association (AMA), 2008-10-08)
Context
Talking about death can be difficult. Without evidence that end-of-life (EOL) discussions improve patient outcomes, physicians must balance their desire to honor patient autonomy against a concern that EOL discussions ...
Screening for Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Bayes Weighs in
(Bentham Science Publishers Ltd., 2009)
A fundamental challenge associated with screening tests is recognition of the impact of disease prevalence upon the predictive value of the result. For example, in the common circumstance of screening for low prevalence ...
Clinical characteristics of Merkel cell carcinoma at diagnosis in 195 patients: the AEIOU features
(Elsevier BV, 2008)
Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is an aggressive skin cancer with a mortality of 33%. Advanced disease at diagnosis is a poor prognostic factor, suggesting that earlier detection may improve outcome. No systematic analysis has ...
Ultrasound-based servoing of manipulators for telesurgery
(SPIE, 2001)
Certain minimally invasive surgical procedures involve the treatment of highly precise target locations within deformable tissues. While preoperative MRI and CT models can be used for surgical planning, they provide only ...
Unilateral nerve injury produces bilateral loss of distal innervation
(Wiley, 2004)
There are no known anatomical connections between neurons that innervate homologous right and left body parts. Nevertheless, some patients develop bilateral abnormalities after unilateral injury, a phenomenon often ...
BRCAPRO Validation, Sensitivity of Genetic Testing ofBRCA1/BRCA2, and Prevalence of Other Breast Cancer Susceptibility Genes
