OBJECTIVE To determine whether clinical and demographic features are associated with prognosis in patients with frontotemporal dementia and motor neuron disease (FTD-MND). METHODS This was a case series of FTD-MND categorized according to behavioral- or language-dominant symptoms at presentation and throughout the disease course. Demographic, clinical, imaging, and survival data were analyzed...

congenital absence of left circumflex artery is a rare congenital anomaly of the coronary arteries. the prevalence of the anomaly in different studies ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%. of these, 80% are benign and asymptomatic and 20% are clinically important. we report a 56-year-old man presented with acute resting chest pain who was diagnosed as having acute anterolateral infarction accompanied by el...

© Blackwell Publishing Ltd. 2005 information. The building blocks for learning are still being processed by the brain, and a learner who has specialized too soon, perhaps missing out some important steps in development, may be able to relearn more efficiently with the right teacher. So – lessons for education? Not so many. But a fantastic collection of interesting facts about the brain, and man...

The aim of this study is to assess brain activity measured during continuous performance of design tracing tasks. Three issues were addressed: identification of brain areas involved in performing maze and square tracing tasks, investigation of differences and similarities in these areas related to dominant and nondominant hand performance, and most importantly, examination of the effects of pra...

Fill-in-the-blank items are commonly featured in computer-assisted language learning (CALL) systems. An item displays a sentence with a blank, and often proposes a number of choices for filling it. These choices should include one correct answer and several plausible distractors. We describe a system that, given an English corpus, automatically generates distractors to produce items for preposi...

In designing intelligent web based educational systems different student needs and preferences should be taken into consideration. Personalization of a system usually results in an increase in its effectiveness, which can be measured by the degree to which learning outcomes are achieved. However, taking into account the individual requirements of each learner and adjusting the system to their n...

Purpose: Hemispheric dominance is associated with more activity in one half of the body, which very important presence a relationship between intelligence and brain lateralization. Delayed language development children undergoing cochlear implantation can have deleterious effects on their growth, academic performance, adaptation, social interactions. Regarding this, present study aimed to deter...
