OBJECTIVE A sudden gain is defined as a large and stable individual improvement occurring between two consecutive treatment sessions. Sudden gains have been shown to predict better long-term improvement in several treatment studies, including cognitive behavioural therapy for depression and anxiety disorders, but have not been studied in the treatment of health anxiety or any form of internet-b...

Sudden death in children as in adults is usually due to cardiac disease. Sudden death in the pediatric population may be divided into the sudden infant death syndrome, sudden death in previously apparently healthy children, and sudden death in patients with known cardiac disease. The sudden infant death syndrome is not proved to be due to a cardiac cause and may well be due to central nervous s...

Sudden infant death has haunted humanity since Biblical times, and many people are still confused about how to differentiate sudden infant death syndrome from other causes of sudden infant death, such as myocarditis or congenital heart disease. Because of the difficulty of diagnosis, the authors say that SIDS has become a “diagnostic dustbin,” but unnecessarily so. They provide the diagnostic c...

From the Aphorisms of Hippocrates to the sports fields of the twenty-first century, by both the lay public and the medical community, the cardiomyopathies have been recognized as causes of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Prevention of SCD in the cardiomyopathies is a 2-fold challenge. First, and central to clinical practice, is the need for reliable prognostication in individuals with established d...

We explore the dynamics of the entanglement in a semiconductor cavity QED containing a quantum well. We show the presence of sudden birth and sudden death for some particular sets of the system parameters.

heating and sudden cooling are among the most important processes affecting temper quality in the production period of tempered auto glass. in this study, heat transfer characteristics and cooling times during the sudden cooling process of tempered glass production have been experimentally investigated. flat glass with dimensions of 50x50x4 mm has been heated up to 680 ºc in the furnace and was...

BACKGROUND The syndrome with an electrocardiographic pattern of right bundle branch block, ST segment elevation in leads V(1)to V(3)and sudden death is genetically determined and caused by mutations in the cardiac sodium channel. The inheritance of the disease is autosomal dominant. Sudden death may, however, occur from a variety of causes in relatives and patients with this syndrome. PATIENT...
