Recent studies have started to suggest that, beyond effects of individual socioeconomic profiles, characteristics residential neighborhoods are independently associated with blood pressure. However, mechanisms involved in these associations remain unknown. To distinguish between different mechanisms, we investigated whether specific risk factors hypertension (physical inactivity, alcohol consumption, smoking, body mass index, waist circumference, and resting heart rate) intervene as...
Most disorders caused by copy number variants (CNVs) display significant clinical variability, often referred to as incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Genetic environmental sources of this variability are not well understood.
Contrast sensitivity was found to be better than visual acuity for predicting a pilot's ability detect small, semi-isolated, air-to-ground target. Eleven instructor pilots had their measured by both conventional and contrast methods. Scotopic contract showed the highest correlation with slant detection range (0.83). Conventionally determined proved poor predictor of small low
This study was conducted to detennine if contrast sensitivity could predict age-related differences in the ability discriminate simple road signs, as these have not been predicted by Snellen visual acuity. Contrast sensitivity, acuity, and discrimination distances for projected images of highway signs were measured 7 older observers, ages 55 79, 13 younger 19 30. All subjects had 20/20 acuity or better, but group significantly lower than did at three spatial frequencies: 3, 6, 12 cycles/deg...
This study assessed whether assisted peritoneal dialysis (PD) was associated with a lower risk for technique failure using methods developed survival analysis in the presence of competing risks.This retrospective cohort study, based on data from French Language Peritoneal Dialysis Registry, analyzed 9822 incident patients starting PD between January 2002 and December 2010. The observation period ended June 1, 2011. Time to transfer hemodialysis compared those undergoing self-care PD.There...

Both self-regulation and insistence on sameness (IS) are related to anxiety, which is a common feature of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Here, we aimed characterise the IS-self-regulation-anxiety interrelationship by investigating potential contribution made self-regulation, assessed via effortful control (EC), IS-anxiety relationship in sample adolescents young adults ASD. Seventy-one older younger ASD (49 males, 22 females; M age = 18.71 years, SD 2.51, range 14.42–24.81)...
<h3>BACKGROUND/AIMS</h3> Autoregulation of blood flow during posture change is important to ensure consistent organ circulation. The purpose this study was compare the in retrobulbar ocular glaucoma patients with normal subjects supine and upright posture. <h3>METHODS</h3> 20 open angle subjects, similar age sex distribution, were evaluated. Blood pressure, intraocular velocity tested after 30 minutes sitting again lying. Retrobulbar haemodynamic measures peak systolic (PSV), end diastolic...
Abstract Background Recent research has shown that the range of repetitive behaviour seen in individuals with Prader–Willi syndrome (PWS) extends beyond food‐related behaviour. Methods The presence and intensity repetitive, rigid routinized children PWS was compared another neurodevelopmental condition which is common: autism. Parents completed Childhood Routines Inventory (CRI). Results Contrary to our predictions, controlling for developmental level, autism showed similar levels...
Urbanization is one of the most evident global changes. Research in field urban growth modelling has generated models that explore for drivers and components dynamics. Cellular automata (CA) modeling recent advances, a number CA-based have produced satisfactory simulations spatial expansion over time. Most application test which provide likely reliable been developed regions nations; United States, particular. This because were universities research centers nations, these required data,...
In early contextual studies, the aim was to demonstrate overall neighborhood influences rather than dissecting such into their components. Researchers did not need worry about neighborhood-level confounding. However, as our interest shifts exploration of specific environmental effects, failure consider confounding may result in severely biased associations. We argue that socioeconomic position and similar area structural factors constitute powerful sources studies health. Controlling for is...
