HYPOTHESIS The time to detection of vascular compromise and the postoperative time to re-exploration are shorter using the implantable Doppler (ID) probe, thereby resulting in earlier surgical re-exploration and a higher flap salvage rate. METHODS A single-centre experience with 176 consecutive free flap reconstructions in 167 patients from 2000 to 2008 in a university-based teaching hospital...

A prototype for cyber identity is presented in a computational framework based on Barwise and Devlin’s situation theory. We use real-life examples in identifying an individual to create what we call an id-situation; an id-situation is where an id-action is performed. We use the Semantic Web standards to represent these id-situations from our real-life examples. The examples include identifying ...

BACKGROUND Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in epilepsy has been a topic of increasing interest, which in general occurs in 15-35% of the patients with epilepsy, more frequently in those with intellectual disability (ID). Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS) and Dravet syndrome (DS) are two typical forms of intractable epileptic encephalopathy associated with ID. We previously reported that ASD was diag...

In this paper we propose a new set of questions that focus on the direction effects. almost all studies is important. For example, in Stroop task expect responses to incongruent items be slower than those congruent ones, and implies one theoretical explanation. Yet, if words are slowed down relative would have completely different We ask ‘does everybody’ question, such as, every individual show...

BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to compare mothers' and fathers' involvement in paid work and child-care in families of children with intellectual disability (ID) and control families and to test if differences in well-being between mothers and fathers of children with ID can be explained by differences in involvement in paid work and child-care. METHODS Mothers and fathers of 179 childre...

Two studies with moderately large samples of participants were conducted to examine correlates of false recognition. In Experiment 1 false recognition of words was found to be a robust and reliable phenomenon at the level of individuals, and the tendency to classify critical lures as old was more closely related to the correct classification of old items as old than to the incorrect classificat...

Recent years has seen growing interest in understanding, characterizing, and explaining individual differences in visual cognition. We focus here on individual differences in visual categorization. Categorization is the fundamental visual ability to group different objects together as the same kind of thing. Research on visual categorization and category learning has been significantly informed...
