Body-image disturbances and body-image misperceptions are common phenomena in the adult obese or disordered eating population, but they have received scant notice in group psychotherapy literature. This paper integrates an important missing conceptual link of body-image development and offers a group psychotherapy treatment model. This paper does not address the eating disorders, i.e., bulimia ...

BACKGROUND Bleomycin pulmonary toxicity (BPT) has been known since the early clinical trials of bleomycin in the 1960s. Postulated risk factors include cumulative bleomycin dose, reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR), raised creatinine, older age and supplemental oxygen exposure. PATIENTS AND METHODS From our prospectively collected testicular cancer research database, we reviewed 835 pati...

The determination of the negative ion yield of 2'-chloro-1,1'-biphenyl (2-Cl-BP), 2'-bromo-1,1'-biphenyl (2-Br-BP) and 2'-iodo-1,1'-biphenyl (2-I-BP) upon dissociative electron attachment (DEA) at an electron energy of 0 eV revealed cross section values that were more than ten times higher for iodide loss from 2-I-BP than for the other halogenides from the respective biphenyls (BPs). Comparison...

The objective of this research was to determine if BPI Processing Technology (BPT) improved palatability of normal (NN) and callipyge (CN) lamb meat and to determine the mechanism by which palatability was improved. Ten ewe and 10 wether lambs of each phenotype were slaughtered, and carcass traits were assessed by a trained evaluator. The LM was removed at 2 d postmortem. Alternating sides serv...

Benign paroxysmal torticollis (BPT) is a rare paroxysmal dyskinesia and 1 of the childhood periodic syndromes presenting with recurrent stereotypic episodes of torticollis, usually accompanied with some of the nonheadache features of migraine such as vomiting and ataxia. Although the nature of BPT may seem benign, its recurrent episodes can mimic attacks of epilepsy and expose the infant to unn...

Purpose: This study aimed to clarify the contributing factors for whole blood rheological status in female patients with hypercholesterolemia. Methods: A total of 257 untreated female patients with hypercholesterolemia and 100 normolipidemic subjects with no history of cardiovascular events were enrolled. Blood passage time (BPT) was used as a marker of whole blood rheology and was measured wit...

Scattering in 3D layered rough media can be evaluated resorting to the Boundary Perturbation Theory (BPT). The primary aim of this paper is to show how the pertinent analytical results of the BPT are rigorously susceptible of a powerful physical interpretation, so that the fundamental interactions contemplated by the BPT can be revealed, gaining a coherent explanation and a neat picture of the ...

Limited access to evidence-based behavioral parent training (BPT) for addressing attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been a growing concern internationally. Models to improve access to BPT are needed, particularly those that can be readily implemented in community settings and that leverage the potential workforce to increase capacity to deliver BPT. The purpose of this study wa...
