The aim of the study was to investigate whether there is any structural evidence for model 'cognitive dysmetria' in schizophrenia if an automatic whole-brain analysis method used.High-resolution magnetic resonance scans were obtained 75 schizophrenic patients and controls.These data analysed using recently developed deformation-based morphometry allowing assessment volumetric differences without a priori definition regions interest.When compared with controls, we found reduced volumes...

ABSTRACT Drug resistance among children with culture-confirmed tuberculosis (TB) provides an accurate measure of transmitted drug within the community. We describe genotype diversity in TB and investigate relationship between resistance. A prospective study was conducted from March 2003 through August 2005 at Tygerberg Children's Hospital, Western Cape Province South Africa. All (<13 years age) diagnosed were included. Genotype analysis phenotypic susceptibility testing performed on first...
