Research suggests that loss of control (LOC) while eating (the sense that one cannot control what or how much one is eating) is a more salient feature of binge eating than the amount of food consumed. This study examined the unique contributions of LOC and episode size to negative affect surrounding eating episodes in binge eating disorder (BED) and obesity. Twenty-two obese adults with (n = 9)...

INTRODUCTION Although many studies have examined the influence of reproductive factors on ovarian cancer risk, few have investigated their effect on ovarian cancer survival. We examined the prognostic influence of reproductive factors on survival after ovarian cancer diagnosis. METHODS We conducted a longitudinal analysis of 410 women, ages 20 to 54 years, who participated in the 1980 to 1982...

OBJECTIVE The performance of bispectral index (BIS) for the measurement of the sedative depth when dexmedetomidine is administered in propofol anaesthesia and sedation has not yet been established. This study evaluated the effects of adjunctive dexmedetomidine on the accuracy of BIS to predict loss of consciousness (LOC) and BIS values predicting LOC during propofol administration. METHODS In...

We present a Cartesian closed category ELoc of equilocales, which contains the category Loc of locales as a reflective full subcategory. The embedding of Loc into ELoc preserves products and all exponentials of exponentiable locales.

employing the notions of the strong $l$-topology introduced by zhangand the $l$-frame introduced by yao  and the concept of $l$-enrichedtopological system defined in the present paper, we constructadjunctions among the categories {bf st$l$-top} of strong$l$-topological spaces, {bf s$l$-loc} of strict $l$-locales and{bf $l$-entopsys} of $l$-enriched topological systems. all of theseconcepts are ...

Loss of control (LOC) occurs when an aircraft motion departs from the typical flight envelope. Loss of control events have been a contributing factor in numerous commercial airline accidents. Hence there has been interest in rigorously defining and quantifying the characteristics of LOC. One major issue is that LOC is rare and hence there is limited flight data for these events. This limits the...

While regions of the lateral occipital cortex (LOC) are known to be selective for objects relative to feature-matched controls, it is not known what set of cues or configurations are used to promote this selectivity. Many theories of perceptual organization have emphasized the figure-ground relationship as being especially important in object-level processing. In the present work we studied the...

We propose a nonparametric Bayesian local clustering (NoB-LoC) approach for heterogeneous data. NoB-LoC implements inference for nested clusters as posterior inference under a Bayesian model. Using protein expression data as an example, the NoB-LoC model defines a protein (column) cluster as a set of proteins that give rise to the same partition of the samples (rows). In other words, the sample...

The most prevalent disordered eating pattern described in overweight youth is loss of control (LOC) eating, during which individuals experience an inability to control the type or amount of food they consume. LOC eating is associated cross-sectionally with greater adiposity in children and adolescents and seems to predispose youth to gain weight or body fat above that expected during normal gro...

By employing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in combination with high-density electroencephalography (EEG), we recently reported that cortical effective connectivity is disrupted during early non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. This is a time when subjects, if awakened, may report little or no conscious content. We hypothesized that a similar breakdown of cortical effective connectivit...
