Background and Purpose—Silent brain infarcts (SBI) and white matter lesions are relatively common neuroimaging findings, especially in the elderly population. The genetic background for SBI and white matter lesions in a large Japanese general population was investigated. Methods—Subjects were recruited from participants in the National Institute for Longevity Sciences, Longitudinal Study of Agi...

Computer-assisted instruction systems have been broadly applied to help students solve math word problem. The majority of such systems, which are based on an instructor-initiating instruction strategy, provide pre-designed problems for the learners. When learners are asked to solve a word problem, the system will instruct the learners what to do. However, systems employing an instructor-initiat...

Using simulation-based inference (SBI), such as randomization tests, the primary vehicle for introducing students to logic and scope of statistical has been advocated with potential improving student understanding investigative process a whole. Moving beyond individual class activity, entirely revised introductory statistics curricula centering on these ideas have developed tested. Preliminary ...

background :comparing computer and internet based instruction with traditional giving lecture would provide enough evidence to identify best teaching practice. in this study, we compared lecture, interactive internet based and computer based learning regarding medical students' knowledge acquisition and satisfaction in teaching pathophysiology of hematology and oncology.   methods : eighty four...

OBJECTIVE Obesity is an important concern for both adults and students. The study evaluates the effect of school-based intervention (SBI) on sedentary life style (SLS), physical activity (PA) and body mass index (BMI) among the students in Urmia, Iran. METHODS The study was undertaken from 31 December 2013 to 21 June 2014. A total of 80 male students were randomly selected from single-sex jun...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Silent brain infarction (SBI) is often found with white matter hyperintensity. A recent genetic study on elderly twins indicated that the susceptibility to white matter hyperintensity was largely determined by genetic factors, implying the existence of genetic susceptibility for SBI as well. We therefore studied 3 genetic polymorphisms in SBI, the deletion/insertion polym...
