conclusions the results of the study show no significant association between norepinephrine transporter polymorphism scl6a2 and adhd. results the percentages of adhd subtypes for combined, inattentive, and hyperactive/impulsive were 72.2%, 17.2%, and 11.9%, respectively. there was no significant association between norepinephrine transporter polymorphism and adhd (p = 0.81). moreover, no signif...

To the Editor, We read with interest and some concern the recent correspondence by Takenaka and Aoyama regarding the optimizing endotracheal tube (ETT) size and length for tracheal intubation through single-use supraglottic airway devices (SADs). We believe the recommendations in this letter to the editor should be interpreted cautiously for the following reasons. First, in Table 1, the authors...

We investigate the motion of a test particle in a d-dimensional, spherically symmetric and static space-time supported by a mass M plus a Λ-term. The motion is strongly dependent on the sign of Λ. In Schwarzschild-de Sitter (SdS) space-time (Λ > 0), besides the physical singularity at r = 0 there are cases with two horizons and two turning points, one horizon and one turning point and the compl...

The aim of the work was to describe clinical manifestation and severity cognitive impair- ment its predictors in adolescents with depression. Forty depression forty healthy controls were recruited conduct study. All screened using Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders Schizophrenia (Current Lifetime) (K-SADS-PL), Traumatic Events Checklist (TESI-C), a battery neu- rocognitive tests assess fun...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) may be due to inherited conditions (ICC). Identification of familial disease in surviving family members prevent further deaths. In 2010, we established a novel screening pathway for these families Somerset, UK. To report the findings Somerset. Any suspected sudden at autopsy (<60y) from October 2010 present were referred SCD pathway. First degree relatives invited at...

We have investigated the time evolution of the transient absorption spectrum of all-trans-b-carotene in a number of solvents. In all cases we observe a loss of red and a gain of blue S1 ð2A g Þ ! SN excited state absorption on a 0.3–0.4 ps time scale. To explain these observations, a model is proposed in which distorted molecules formed in S2 ð1Bu Þ relax back to the all-trans state in S1 ð2A g...

consensus of opinion. Background Surveys of sudden death in England suggest that 3,500 unexpected sudden deaths occur per annum in the 16-64 age group. Of these the majority are due to c o ro n a ry art e ry disease but in 4.1% a coro n e r’s post-mortem is unable to find evidence of structural cardiac disease or significant drug exposure. The cause of death is therefore unascertainable. These ...
