BACKGROUND This mixed methods study reports on product acceptance from a Phase I clinical trial of a candidate non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI) vaginal microbicide product (UC781). The product was evaluated in the context of a Phase I clinical trial in an area characterized by high HIV prevalence among minority women. The findings will inform the development of an acceptab...

OBJECTIVE To compare success and complication rates, based on staining of nerves and other structures, among three techniques of paravertebral brachial plexus blockade (PBPB) in dogs. STUDY DESIGN Prospective randomized design. ANIMALS A total of 68 thoracic limbs from 34 dogs. METHODS Limbs were randomly assigned to blind (BL) (n = 24), nerve stimulator-guided (NS) (n = 21) or ultrasound...

Time course gene microarray is an important tool to identify genes with differential expressions over time. Traditional analysis of variance (ANOVA) type of longitudinal investigation may not be applicable because of irregular time intervals and possible missingness due to contamination in microarray experiments. Functional principal components analysis is proposed to test hypotheses in the cha...

Abstract ANOVA—the workhorse of experimental psychology—seems well understood in that behavioral sciences have agreed-upon contrasts and reporting conventions. Yet, we argue this consensus hides considerable flaws common ANOVA procedures, these become especially salient the within-subject mixed-model cases. The main thesis is are model specification. specifications underlying use deficient from...

A large nurober of investigations have been undertaken to develop technical systems in order to enable a tactile substitution of speech for the deaf. These aids have been evaluated with various experimental procedures (identification and discrimination tests, learning experiments, tracking procedures and other overt behaviour methods). In order to find additional evidence for the processing and...

Introduction The Face Name Associative Memory Exam (FNAME) is sensitive to associative memory changes early in the Alzheimer’s disease spectrum, but little known about how healthy aging affects FNAME performance. We aimed assess effects on an extended version of test, which captures further abilities beyond recall and recognition domains measured original version.Method adapted versions Spain M...
