Background: Transient neonatal hyperthyrotropinemia (TNH) occurs frequently in areas of iodine deficiency and may affect intellectual function and psychomotor performance. Design: A historical cohort study of intellectual development, psychomotor performance, urine iodine and thyroid function tests, performed in 9 years children with documented TNH at birth and control group. Subjects: Eighte...

The relation of gamma-band synchrony to holistic perception in which concerns the effects of sensory processing, high level perceptual gestalt formation, motor planning and response is still controversial. To provide a more direct link to emergent perceptual states we have used holistic EEG/ERP paradigms where the moment of perceptual "discovery" of a global pattern was variable. Using a rapid ...

Gestalt psychology is often criticized as lacking quantitative measurements and precise mathematical models. While this is true of the early Gestalt school, today there are many quantitative approaches in Gestalt perception and the special issue of Vision Research "Quantitative Approaches in Gestalt Perception" showcases the current state-of-the-art. In this article we give an overview of these...

INTRODUCTION PERC rule was created to rule out pulmonary embolism (PE) without further exams, with residual PE risk<2%. Its safety is currently not confirmed in high PE prevalence populations even when combined with low clinical probability assessed by revised Geneva score (RGS). As PERC rule and RGS are 2 similar explicit rules with many redundant criteria, we hypothesized that the combination...

In 1972, Bender and Knuth established a bijection between certain infinite matrices of non-negative integers and plane partitions and in [2] a bijection between Bender-Knuth matrices and n-color partitions was shown. Here we use this later bijection and translate the recently found n-color partition theoretic interpretations of four mock theta functions of S. Ramanujan in [1] to new combinatori...

agents to children with learning impediments or disabilities is not a new method of treatment. Publications of related investigations date back more than 30 years. An accurate assessment of the effectiveness of the chemotherapeutic approach poses enumerable difficulties. These stem from factors such as ( 1 ) the lack of uniform terminology, ( 2) marked variability in methodology for evaluation,...

This paper discusses the compatibility ofMartin Buber’s dialogicmethod and active Gestalt therapy interventions, which are called experiments. The authors trace a brief history of the distinction between different psychotherapy systems which focus on the therapeutic relationship on the one hand or on active behavioural interventions on the other. They submit Gestalt therapy as a modality that i...
