Eighty five charts of patients whose diagnoses have changed at least once between 1977 and 1981 (unstable) were compared with another randomly chosen charts where diagnosis during the subsequent admissions remained unchanged (stable). Seventy six percent of the changes occurred from one to the other diagnostic category and remained so. Seventy three percent of Schizophrenics, 77.5% of Manics, 4...

We present an estimated DSGE model of stock market bubbles and business cycles using Bayesian methods. Bubbles emerge through a positive feedback loop mechanism supported by self-fulfilling beliefs. We identify a sentiment shock which drives the movements of bubbles and is transmitted to the real economy through endogenous credit constraints. This shock explains more than 96 percent of the stoc...

struggles would transform the world during the twentieth century. Instead, it turned out to be the age of ethnonationalist conflicts. Wars fought in the name of national liberation or ethnic autonomy comprise only one fifth of the wars between the Congress of Vienna (1814) and the Treaty of Versailles (1919). From Versailles to 2001, however, the share of ethnonationalist wars rose to 45 percen...

Using the criterion of early morning urinary specific gravity (SPGR) of 1.008 or less to define the presence of polyuria, we identified 26 of 72 male (36 percent) and 14 of 31 female (45 percent) institutionalized chronically psychotic patients as polyuric during a comprehensive survey of one of the chronic care units at a State mental hospital. Factors including diagnosis, sex, age, weight, an...

In this study, the mechanical properties, fatigue life, and endurance limit values were investigated for composite materials containing natural fiber reinforcement (flax, wool), which arranged by 0°/90° Angle orientation a combination of 45°/-45° angle orientation, then wool woven mixed flax unidirectional interfered with jute woven. Binary blends epoxy polyurethane at v various weight percent ...

BACKGROUND Curative resection is the treatment of choice for gastric cancer, but it is unclear whether this operation should include an extended (D2) lymph-node dissection, as recommended by the Japanese medical community, or a limited (D1) dissection. We conducted a randomized trial in 80 Dutch hospitals in which we compared D1 with D2 lymph-node dissection for gastric cancer in terms of morbi...

Introduction: Few studies are conducted on the efficacy of antispasmodics in the treatment of functional gastrointestinal disorders in children. We evaluated the effectiveness of a smooth-muscle relaxant (mebeverine) in the treatment of childhood functional abdominal pain (FAP).   Materials and Methods: Children (n=115, aged 6-18 years) with FAP were randomized to receive mebeverine 135 mg...

Objective: The objective of the present study was to describe the phenotypic features of Turner syndrome (TS) and to investigate the relationship between the genotype and the phenotype. Materials and Methods: We studied 26 female patients who were enrolled between 2006 and 2015. Physical features, clinical history, laboratory findings, and imaging test results were recorded. Chromosomal analysi...
