The dates of presentation of 191 cases of acute closed-angle glaucoma which presented at the Birmingham and Midland Eye Hospital between 1971 and 1974 were analysed and the seasonal incidence of acute glaucoma confirmed (P<0.001). These data were compared with meteorological data for air temperature, rainfall, hours of sunshine, atmospheric pressure, cloud amount, terrestrial magnetic field lev...

Among the issues examined by studies of cognitive control in multitasking is whether processes underlying performance different tasks occur serially or parallel. Here we ask a similar question about that pro-actively task-set. In task-switching experiments, several indices task-set preparation have been extensively documented, including anticipatory orientation gaze to task-relevant location (a...

Data for 595 patients with severe aplastic anemia receiving HLA-identical sibling bone marrow transplants were analyzed to determine the effect of pretransplant conditioning and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis on outcome. Transplants were performed between 1980 and 1987 and reported to the International Bone Marrow Transplant Registry. Three conditioning regimens (cyclophosphamide ...

UNLABELLED Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterised by inflammation and demyelination. It generates irreversible myelin changes, which in turn give rise to physical and cognitive disorders. The verbal fluency test (VF) has been shown to be a sensitive tool for detecting cognitive impairment in these patients. OBJECTIVE To compare quantitative and qualitative aspect...

Eight centers participated in a study in which intrapulmonary and intravenous administration of recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) were compared in 34 patients with acute massive pulmonary embolism. All patients received intravenous heparin in a bolus of 5,000 IU followed by 1,000 IU/hr. After 50 mg rt-PA given over 2 hr the severity of embolism, determined from pulmonary ang...

ION LEVEL OF MESSAGE Abstraction level was analyzed as a function of task interdependence and valence of target’s behavior. Both were between-participants variables. The predicted two-way interaction was significant, F(1, 43) = 9.58, p < .005 (see Table 1). As expected, negative target behaviors were described more abstractly in the competition condition (M = 2.40) than the cooperation conditio...

Background: From the perspective of achievement goal orientation theory, athletes may evaluate their performance by comparing current achievements with previous (task orientation) or those other (ego orientation); these two orientations affect sport motivation and outcomes in different ways. Objective: Based on a sample competitive Czech beach volleyball players, this study aimed to assess rela...
