We live in an age of rapidly advancing genetic research. This research is generating new knowledge that has implications for personal health and well-being. The present study assessed the level engagement with genetics a large sample (N = 5404) participants. Participants received secondary education 78 countries, largest samples from Russia, UK USA. results showed significant group differences between different professions, levels religious affiliations. Overall, was poor. questions were...
Behavioral markers measured through neuropsychological testing in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) were analyzed and combined multivariate ways to predict conversion Alzheimer's disease (AD) a longitudinal study of 43 MCI patients. The test measures taken at baseline evaluation first reduced underlying components (principal component analysis, PCA), then the scores used discriminant analysis classify individuals as likely convert or not. When empirically weighted combined, episodic memory,...
An evoked potential component with a poststimulus peak at about 250 milliseconds is related to the storage of information in short-term memory. This was found an investigation brain potentials relation number and letter comparison task. In replications this experiment three different light intensities spaced 1.0 log unit apart, had essentially same waveform pattern scores. The memory interpretation confirmed behavioral that probed Recall predicted by magnitude component.
We studied 270 patients with Binet stage A chronic lymphocytic leukaemia looking for adverse prognostic factors. In a multivariate analysis the following features were found to be risk factors disease progression: atypical lymphocyte morphology (defined as either > 10% prolymphocytes or 15% lymphocytes cleaved nuclei lymphoplasmacytoid cells); more than two karyotypic abnormalities; count 30 × 10 9 /l; doubling time < 1 year; enlargement of one lymph node groups. univariate presence...
Abstract We analyzed verbal episodic memory learning and recall using the Logical Memory (LM) subtest of Wechsler Scale-III to determine how gender differences in AD compare those seen normal elderly whether or not these impact assessment AD. administered LM both an a Control group, each comprised 21 men women, found large drop performance from elders Of interest was interaction whereby women's scores dropped 1.6 times more than men's did. women on average outperformed every aspect test,...
We have studied telomere length in the bone marrow cells or granulocyte and lymphocyte cell fractions of 54 patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) by Southern blot hybridization using (TTAGGG)4 probe. The average expressed as peak repeat array (TRA) peripheral blood, samples obtained from a group 21 healthy age-matched controls (26–89 years old, mean age 55), ranged between 7.5 9.5 kb (mean TRA 8.6 kb). Twenty-four refractory anemia (RA) were studied; 10/24 (42%) had reduction (<7.5...
An EP component with a poststimulus maximum about 250 msec, labeled the Storage Component, is interpreted to be related storage of stimulus information in short-term memory. It was obtained by Principal Components Analysis Evoked Potentials letter/ number processing experiment. The Component appeared similar form replications experiment which intensity varied. results led memory prediction substantiated behavioural probe Recall not as well two other, orthogonal components (P300 and CNV)....
Electrical responses (ERG) to light flashes of various wavelengths and energies were obtained from the dorsal median ocellus lateral compound eye Limulus under dark chromatic adaptation. Spectral mechanisms studied by analyzing (a) response waveforms, e.g. area, rise, fall times as functions amplitude, (b) slopes amplitude-energy functions, (c) spectral sensitivity criterion amplitude method. The data for a single mechanism in are waveforms independent wavelength, same slope response-energy...
Recent evidence suggests that although schizophrenia patients can process aspects of visual form to which the system is ''hard-wired'' respond, they are deficient in consolidating novel, unstructured information into memory traces, thus limiting assessment meaning and generation top-down influences guide further processing. This hypothesis was tested with 18 chronic controls using a familiarity judgement task. As predicted, patients' ability recognise highly structured pattern increased as...
