The authors examined the factor structure and discriminant validity of Wender Utah Rating Scale (WURS) in adults seeking evaluation for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Three factors (Dysthymia, Oppositional/Defiant Behavior, School Problems) accounted 59.4% variance. In a stepwise function analysis, age childhood school problems emerged as significant variables. classification procedure correctly classified 64.5% patients. Among those who did not have ADHD, only 57.5% were...

Rectification of surface EMG before spectral analysis is a well-established preprocessing method used in the detection motor unit firing patterns. A number recent studies have called into question need for rectification analysis, pointing out that there no supporting experimental evidence to justify rectification. We present an 190 records from 13 subjects consisting simultaneous recordings paired single units and extensor digitorum longus muscle during middle finger extension against...

Caffeine is frequently added to mild analgesic preparations but its effect when used alone on pain has never been studied in humans. Using a double-blind placebo-controlled multiple crossover design, 53 patients with non-migrainous headaches were given placebo, acetaminophen, 2 doses of caffeine and combinations acetaminophen. appeared have independent effects that equivalent acetaminophen still significant statistical adjustments made for prior consumption caffeine's mood.
