BACKGROUND Efficient, accurate instruments for measuring depression are increasingly important in clinical practice. We developed a computerized adaptive version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). We examined its efficiency and its usefulness in identifying Major Depressive Episodes (MDE) and in measuring depression severity. METHODS Subjects were 744 participants in research studies in ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of a nurse-facilitated-cognitive-group (NFCG) intervention as an adjunct to antidepressant medication, in mild to moderately, depressed women. METHOD This was a quasi-experimental, nonequivalent, control group design study. A sample of 30 consenting participants was selected from an urban, community psychiatric clinic, and ...

Abstract Molecular β‐diketiminato (BDI) calcium hydride and n ‐hexyl derivatives are shown to display contrasting reactivities toward bis(pinacolato)diboron (B 2 pin ). Whereas the dimeric constitution of is retained during formation an unusual diborane(6) dianion, initially organocalcium reagent converted a diboranate monomer, [(BDI)Ca{pinB‐Bpin( ‐hex)}]. Attempts effect heterolysis B−B bond t...

Aims: The present study aims at validating the RSA and examining its incremental validity as a predictor of depression measured by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Methods: 150 healthy participants completed RSA, Sense Coherence Scale (SOC), After ensuring psychometric properties SOC, BDI, 220 Egyptian students were recruited from Minia University to fill in BDI order assess potential capacity ...

Abstract We present and discuss a novel language restriction for modal logics multiagent systems, called context restriction, that reduces the complexity of satisfiability problem from EXPTIME complete to NPTIME complete. focus on BDI multimodal contain fix-point modalities like common beliefs mutual intentions together with realism introspection axioms. show how this combination axioms affects...

HYPOTHESIS Long-term quality of life (QOL) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) incurring bile duct injury (BDI) and repair is comparable to that of patients undergoing uncomplicated LC. DESIGN Case comparison study. SETTING Secondary and tertiary care centers. PATIENTS Eighty-six patients incurring BDI during LC between January 1, 1991, and July 31, 2003, were surveye...

La construction du corps non commutatif H de quaternions est une variante plus compliquée de la construction du corps commutatif C de nombres complexes. Donc on commence en rappelant la construction de C à partir de R. Les nombres complexes s’écrivent a+ bi avec a, b ∈ R. Donc C est un espace vectoriel sur R de dimension 2 avec base {1, i}. La loi d’addition de C est celle que C possède en tant...

BACKGROUND Despite an increasing number of studies exploring prevalence of depression among hypertensive patients in high income countries, limited data is available from low and middle income countries, particularly Nepal. Our aim was to investigate the prevalence of undiagnosed (sub clinical) depression and associated risk factors among hypertensive patients attending a tertiary health care c...
