Neuropsychological and neurophysiological studies provide evidence for abnormal interhemispheric communication in schizophrenia. These abnormalities may have a substrate in structural irregularities of the corpus callosum. This study investigated schizophrenia patients (n=27) and healthy comparison subjects (n=31). Global and regional measurements of the corpus callosum were acquired from one m...

Objectives: This cross sectional study aimed to investigate the relative effectiveness of a problem based learning curriculum (PBL) and a traditional curriculum (TC) in the development of medical students’ diagnostic reasoning skills. Methods: Junior and senior clinical students (n = 431) at a single clinical school of the University of Melbourne selfadministered Bordage et al.’s Diagnostic Thi...

OBJECTIVE To assess agreement between planned lung resections and the type subsequently performed on a series of patients, to assess whether tumor location (central or peripheral) affected the degree of discrepancy, and, in the case of unscheduled pneumonectomies, to examine why the planned resection had to be extended. METHOD Prospective, observational clinical study of 199 patients schedule...

Motor coordination and physical fitness are multidimensional concepts which cannot be reduced to a single variable. This study evaluated multivariate relationships among morphology, physical fitness and motor coordination in 74 pre-pubertal girls 8.0-8.9 years of age. Data included body dimensions, eight fitness items and four motor coordination tasks (KTK battery). Maturity status was estimate...

The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of extreme environments on mood state changes in hypoxic conditions and cold conditions in comparison to baseline conditions. The research design involved participants completing a two-hour stationary cycle ergometer ride at a simulated altitude of 2,500 metres, O°C, and normal laboratory conditions at a pace equivalent of lactate threshol...
