Theories of learning styles suggest that individuals think and learn best in different ways. These are not differences ability but rather preferences for processing certain types information or way. If accurate, theories could have important implications instruction because student achievement would be a product the interaction student’s style. There is reason to people view as broadly but, fact, scientific support these lacking. We educators’ time energy better spent on other might aid instruction.
In the United States, hepatitis C virus (HCV)–associated mortality is increasing. From 2003-2013, number of deaths associated with HCV has now surpassed 60 other nationally notifiable infectious conditions combined. The increasing HCV-associated trend underscores urgency in finding, evaluating, and treating HCV-infected persons.
The number of persons with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in the United States is affected by diminishing numbers young who are susceptible because universal infant vaccination since 1991, offset HBV-infected migrating to from endemic countries. prevalence HBV was determined serological testing and analysis among noninstitutionalized age 6 years older for: antibody core antigen (anti-HBc), indicative previous infection; surface (HBsAg), (current) (anti-HBs), immunity vaccination....
The purpose of this study was to compare the language and cognitive profiles four progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA) patients with 25 probable Alzheimer's disease (pAD) patients, identify distinct cortical defects associated deficits in PNFA using positron emission tomography (PET). Longitudinal observations revealed progressively telegraphic speech writing a gradual deterioration sentence comprehension, but memory visual functioning were relatively preserved. Direct contrast PAD that are...
Vocabulary understanding is a major contributor to overall comprehension in many content areas, including mathematics. Effective methods for teaching vocabulary all areas are diverse and long standing. Teaching learning the language of mathematics vital development mathematical proficiency. Students' very important part their ultimately This article draws on current research-based evidence (a) provide rationale vocabulary, (b) offer review research that supports importance (c) describe...
In the USA, HBV is one of leading causes chronic liver disease and cirrhosis a major cause cancer. We aimed to estimate prevalence past present infection, susceptibility vaccine-induced immunity hepatitis B among US population during 2013-2018.Prevalence estimates 95% CIs were analyzed using 2013-2018 data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Serologic testing noninstitutionalized persons aged ≥ 6 years was used for classifying as total core antibody (anti-HBc), indicative...
We assessed language functioning in 116 age-, education-, and severity-matched patients with the clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), multi-infarct dementia (MID) due to small-vessel ischemic disease, or a frontotemporal form degeneration (FD). Assessments comprehension revealed that AD are significantly impaired their judgments single word picture meaning, whereas FD had sentence difficulty processing grammatical phrase structure. Patients MID did not differ from control subjects...
To examine prospectively the association between 4 categories of objectively assessed pain behavior and various disability outcomes. In present study, relationships among disability-related outcomes were examined.One hundred forty-eight workers identified within 6 weeks a first episode low-back in workplace. During physical examination, observations made guarding, words, sounds, facial expressions pain. Three months later, participants evaluated with respect to return work standardized...
In this exploratory study, reading, writing, and discussion were examined within the context of a pen pal intervention focusing on authentic literacy tasks. The study employed mixed-method design with triangulation-convergence model to explore relationship between tasks motivation elementary students (n = 180), while also seeking document whether demonstrated accountability community, content, critical thinking during small-group discussions. Data sources included pre- postintervention...
Since 1975, researchers have conducted interventions to improve the word-problem performance of elementary school students facing mathematics difficulties. The current study reports a meta-analysis 52 studies that examined effect these interventions. We estimated multivariate, random-effects models (REM) with robust variance estimation (RVE) and without outliers. Results showed large, positive, significant mean weighted size ( g = 1.01 for model outliers; 0.81 outliers). Findings...

Metabolites generated from the intestinal microbiota regulate local and distant tissues. One important metabolite L-tryptophan is indole-3-propionic acid (IPA), which has been shown previously to mucosal homeostasis in specific-pathogen-free (SPF)-colonized animals through distinct receptor-mediated events. Interestingly, IPA levels are reduced inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients. In current study, we assessed whether could improve colitis outcomes absence of its production by...
A growing literature base suggests the need for positive interventions to help individuals with intellectual disabilities improve their time management skills. Time is a crucial area that must be addressed in effort equip adults skills necessary achieve independence, success employment, and improved quality of life. Lack effective may hinder an individual's ability gain maintain successful employment live independently. When primary issue management, assistive technology (AT) provide simple...
The development of procedures for assessing factors that contribute to pain and disability is crucial clinical epidemiologic studies. present paper describes a system in vivo, real-time assessment behaviors integrated with standardized physical examination low back patients. principles measuring five categories behavior--guarding, touching/rubbing, words, sounds facial expressions--and parsing the are described. was learned by observers who then applied it during examinations 176 patients...
Since 1980 when Zimbabwe obtained political independence, special education has not received the same priority as entire system. One of manifestations this discrepancy is shortage qualified teachers in country. In order to address trend and promote development education, researchers have suggested need for professional area education. The purpose study was identify needs both general in-service Zimbabwe. A semi-structured survey instrument, developed by first second authors, which included...
