A standardized neurologic assessment scoring instrument was developed and tested for use in a multicenter trial of hypervolemic hemodilution in acute hemispheric stroke. Components of the neurologic examination pertinent to hemispheric stroke syndromes were emphasized. The scale was evaluated using 16 acute stroke patients for concurrent validity (Pearson coefficient r = 0.89 compared with glob...

This study compared the reading subtests of the Wechsler Individual Achievement TestThird Edition and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised/Normative Update. Scores were compared on these two tests in a group of 28 students ages 7 through 12 who were referred or reevaluated for suspected learning problems. The data were collected through a deidentified data set provided by a school bu...

results: the average of dyssynchrony in eight cycles showed a positive correlation with dyssynchrony in target beat rr1/rr2 = 1. average of dyssynchrony in target beat was 46.77 msec, and average of 8 cycle was = 47.701, (p value = 0.776, pearson linear correlation 0.769). objectives: we proposed to evaluate intraventricular mechanical dyssynchrony by measuring time-to-peak systolic velocity be...

In this Letter, the main attributes known to affect color quality are treated statistically over a set of 118 spectra representing the current mainstream lighting technology. The color rendering index (CRI) is used to assess color fidelity while colorfulness is used to complement CRI-R(a), supported by the growing evidence that assessment of light spectra cannot overlook color preference inputs...

This study aimed to investigate the association between respiratory mechanics and autonomic modulation in morbidly obese patients. We evaluated 10 morbidly obese subjects (BMI=52.9±11.2kg/m(2)), aged 23-58 years. Assessment of respiratory mechanics was done by the forced oscillation technique (FOT), and cardiovascular autonomic function was recorded by heart rate variability analysis (HRV). The...
