We report a case in which a Self-Injurious Behavior Inhibiting System (SIBIS) device and a conditioned punisher were utilized to decrease and maintain suppression of severe head hitting/banging in a preschool child. After an experimental... more

VTE recurrence were age over 60 years (HR 2.25, 95% CI 1.31–3.87, p< 0.01), FVR506Q mutation (HR 2.24, 95% CI 1.17–4.28, p= 0.02) and the presence of DVT (HR 2.50, 95% CI 1.01–6.23, p= 0.04). In patients treated for three months, thrombophilia was a risk factor for recurrence (HR= 2.01, 95% CI 1.04–3.95, p= 0.04; Fig. 1). This result was confirmed after adjustment for age and for the presence of DVT (HR= 2.16, 95% CI 1.10–4.25, p= 0.03). In patients treated for one year thrombophilia was not a risk factor of recurrence (HR= 0.84, ...

Two studies are presented showing that the social facilitation of eating has its roots in the phase of ordering food, both in an ecologically valid context (a real restaurant) and in a simulated context (a mock scenario). In both studies people ordered a number of dishes as a function of their co-eater group size. We contend that this is due to the activation of the “social meal” script assuming a normative nature. In line with our hypothesis, participants’ self-monitoring orientation moderated the effects of group size on the amount of food people ordered.

Salicylate and quinine have been shown to reliably induce short-term tinnitus when administered at high doses. The present study compared salicylate and quinine-induced tinnitus in rats using the gap prepulse inhibition of acoustic startle (GPIAS). Twenty-four rats were divided into 2 groups; the first group (n = 12) was injected with salicylate (300 mg kg d), whereas the second (n = 12) was treated with quinine orally at a dose of 200 mg kg d. Animals were treated daily for 4 consecutive days. All rats were tested for tinnitus and hearing loss before and 2, 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours after the first drug administration. Tinnitus was assessed using GPIAS; hearing function was measured with distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and auditory brainstem response. Salicylate treatment induced transient tinnitus with a pitch near 16 kHz starting 2 hours posttreatment, persisting over the 4-day treatment period and disappearing 24 hours later. Animals in the quinine group showed GPIAS changes at a higher pitch (20 kHz); however, changes were more variable among animals, and the mean data were not statistically significant. Hearing function varied across treatments. In the salicylate group, high-level DPOAEs were slightly affected; most changes occurred 2 hours posttreatment. Low-level DPOAEs were affected at all frequencies with a progressive dose-dependent effect. In the quinine group, only high-level DPOAEs were affected, mainly at 16 kHz. The present study highlights the similarities and differences in the frequency and the time course of tinnitus and hypoacusis induced by salicylate and quinine. Transient tinnitus was reliably induced pharmacologically with salicylate, whereas hearing loss remained subclinical with only minor changes in DPOAEs.

In this paper, 10 mutations conditioning the appearance of defective, miniature or collapsed endosperm, but with normal sporophyte development, were considered. Homozygous mutant kernels have reduced grain weight, kernel size, density and, in some of these, higher than normal seed protein content. The mutant loci were integrated into a high-resolution genetic map in order to associate them to specific genes. We have placed 1167 AFLP markers on a consensus map using IBM2 as a backbone and reaching an average of 1 marker every 1.9 cM. We have identified AFLP markers linked to all individual mutant alleles. BSA was adopted to screen the largest possible number of primer combinations on homozygous F3 mutant and wild type plants. The ten mutant loci are linked to the closest AFLP or SSR markers with distances ranging from 0 to 17.9 cM. The genes we have defined by the existence of mendelian mutants can now be considered good candidates for testing the association to QT loci.
