Negative world views after trauma: Neurophysiological evidence for negative expectancies.

Negative reward expectations in Borderline Personality Disorder patients: neurophysiological evidence.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) patients present profound disturbances in affect regulation and impulse control which could reflect a dysfunction in reward-related processes. The current study investigated these processes in a sample of 18 BPD patients and 18 matched healthy controls, using an event-related brain potentials methodology. Results revealed a reduction in the amplitude of the...

Carpal tunnel syndrome despite negative neurophysiological studies.

The purpose of the present study was to compare the results of conservative and operative treatment for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome having normal neurophysiological studies. We studied 125 patients with normal neurophysiological studies and analysed eight symptoms and signs as "prognostic factors". Ninety-six patients were treated conservatively (splintage, steroid injection, antiinfla...

Allocation models for DMUs with negative data

The formulas of cost and allocative efficiencies of decision making units (DMUs) with positive data cannot be used for DMUs with negative data. On the other hand, these formulas are needed to analyze the productivity and performance of DMUs with negative data. To this end, this study introduces the cost and allocative efficiencies of DMUs with negative data and demonstrates that the introduc...
