BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inconsistent findings across studies challenge the viability of response inhibition (RI) as an endophenotype of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Contemporary conceptualization of endophenotypes in psychiatric disorders suggests that these markers vary continuously in the general population, highlighting the importance of analogue sample research. Although neuropsyc...

Glaucoma is an incurable eye disease that leads to slow progressive degeneration of the retina. It cannot be fully cured, however, its progression can controlled in case early diagnosis. Unfortunately, due absence clear symptoms during stages, diagnosis are rare. must detected at stages since late lead permanent vision loss. affects retina by damaging Optic Nerve Head (ONH). Its dependent on me...

ObjectiveObsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms are common in the general population, but it is unclear whether subclinical OC and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) part of a neuroanatomical continuum. The goal this study was to investigate relation between subcortical cortical morphology population-based sample children.MethodThe included 2,551 participants, aged 9–12 years, from Generation R St...

The afforestation of abandoned farmland significantly influences soil organic carbon (OC). However, the dynamics between OC inputs after afforestation and the original OC are not well understood. To learn more about soil OC dynamics after afforestation of farmland, we measured the soil OC content in paired forest and farmland plots in Shaanxi Province, China. The forest plots had been establish...

Oral contraceptive (OC) use is associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. Previous data reported higher thrombotic risk in women using third-generation combined OC than in those using second generation OC. The difference could be explained by differential effects of progestagens on plasma sensitivity to activated protein C (APC). The main purpose of this cross-sectional study ...

The temporal and spatial distributions of primary and secondary organic carbon aerosols (OC) over the continental US from 15 June–31 August 1999, were estimated by using observational OC and elemental carbon (EC) data from Interagency Monitoring of Protected Visual Environments (IMPROVE) and Southeastern Aerosol Research and Characterization project (SEARCH) networks, coupled with the primary O...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of four simplified molecular assays for the diagnosis of Trypanosoma brucei spp. or Leishmania ssp. in a multicentre ring trial with seven participating laboratories. METHODS The tests are based on PCR or NASBA amplification of the parasites nucleic acids followed by rapid read-out by oligochromatographic dipstick (PCR-OC and NASBA-O...
