The anchoring-and-adjustment heuristic has been used to account for a wide variety of numerical judgments. Five studies show that adjustment away from a numerical anchor is smaller if the anchor is precise than if it is rounded. Evidence suggests that precise anchors, compared with rounded anchors, are represented on a subjective scale with a finer resolution. If adjustment consists of a series...

AIMS The Nocturnal Bladder Capacity Index (NBCi) has been reported to be useful in distinguishing between nocturia caused by low bladder capacity and nocturnal polyuria. This paper aims to calculate reference values for NBCi from an asymptomatic population by comparing these with NBCi values from patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) to obtain an indication of the sensitivity with w...

background: to explain the role of arthroscopic release in intractable frozen shoulders. we used different questionnaires and measuring tools to understand whether arthroscopic release is the superior modality to treat patients with intractable frozen shoulders. methods: between 2007 and 2013, in a prospective study, we enrolled 80 patients (52 females and 28 males) with recalcitrant frozen sho...

A lattice is called well-rounded if its minimal vectors span the corresponding Euclidean space. In this paper we study the similarity classes of well-rounded sublattices of Z2. We relate the set of all such similarity classes to a subset of primitive Pythagorean triples, and prove that it has the structure of a noncommutative infinitely generated monoid. We discuss the structure of a given simi...

When a mixture of two kinds of grains differing in size and shape is poured in a vertical two-dimensional cell, the mixture spontaneously stratifies in alternating layers of small and large grains, whenever the large grains are more faceted than the small grains. Otherwise, the mixture spontaneously segregates in different regions of the cell when the large grains are more rounded than the smal...

conclusions bilateral anterior shoulder dislocation is rare. it could be undiagnosed, especially when there is no clear history of major trauma. by awareness of such unusual possibility, early diagnosis, treatment, and reduction can provide desirable outcome. introduction shoulder dislocation is the most common presentation of joint dislocation in emergency department (ed). bilateral shoulder d...

osteoid osteoma is a benign bone tumor and accounts for 10% of benign tumors. almost any bones can be involved but half of cases involving femur or tibia. osteoid osteoma is a rare tumor of the scapula with only 18 reported cases in the literature. we presented a case of osteoid osteoma of the scapula in right shoulder in angle of coracoid and geloneid in a 34- year old woman. she had right rad...

OBJECTIVE To explore relationships between shoulder complaints after neck dissection, shoulder disability, and quality of life. To find clinical predictors for mid- to long-term shoulder disability. STUDY DESIGN Prospective. PATIENTS AND METHODS Shoulder pain, shoulder mobility, and shoulder droop, as well as scores on shoulder disability questionnaire and RAND-36 (quality of life), were me...
