Induced perceptual grouping. | The term perceptual grouping is associated with classical principles such as similarity and proximity. This article reports induced perceptual grouping, a phenomenon that occurs when placement of a uniform set of items near a structured set induces grouping within the otherwise uniform set. For example, when items grou... | 18,727,785 |
Activity of moxifloxacin against the urogenital mycoplasmas Ureaplasma spp., Mycoplasma hominis and Mycoplasma genitalium and Chlamydia trachomatis. | The activity of moxifloxacin was compared with that of other antimicrobial agents against 54 strains of Ureaplasma spp., 54 strains of Mycoplasma hominis, 14 strains of Mycoplasma genitalium, and 44 strains of Chlamydia trachomatis. Moxifloxacin inhibited 90% of all isolates at a concentration </=1 mg/L, being the m... | 18,727,805 |
Double dermal sinuses: a case study. | Dermal sinus tracts are rare congenital lesions located in the midline characterized by a cutaneous pit or dimple. They occur all along the midline neuroaxis, from the nasion and occipital area down to the lumbar and sacral regions, most frequently in the lumbar and lumbosacral region. Here we report a 5-year-old girl ... | 18,727,820 |
Ultra-brief intervention for problem drinkers: research protocol. | Helping the large number of problem drinkers who will never seek treatment is a challenging issue. Public health initiatives employing educational materials or mass media campaigns have met with mixed success. However, clinical research has developed effective brief interventions to help problem drinkers. This project ... | 18,727,823 |
Effect of the ethinylestradiol/norelgestromin contraceptive patch on body composition. Results of bioelectrical impedance analysis in a population of Italian women. | As weight gain is one of the most frequently cited reasons for not using and for discontinuing hormonal contraceptives, in an open-label, single-arm, multicentre clinical study we evaluated the effect of the ethinylestradiol/norelgestromin contraceptive patch (EVRA, Janssen-Cilag International, Belgium) on body composi... | 18,727,825 |
Costs of treating patients with schizophrenia who have illness-related crisis events. | Relatively little is known about the relationship between psychosocial crises and treatment costs for persons with schizophrenia. This naturalistic prospective study assessed the association of recent crises with mental health treatment costs among persons receiving treatment for schizophrenia. Data were drawn from a l... | 18,727,831 |
Risk factors for falls with severe fracture in elderly people living in a middle-income country: a case control study. | Fracture after falling has been identified as an important problem in public health. Most studies of risk factors for fractures due to falls have been carried out in developed countries, although the size of the elderly population is increasing fast in middle income countries. The objective of this paper is to identify... | 18,727,832 |

[Assessment of patient satisfaction and preferences with inhalers in asthma with the FSI-10 Questionnaire]. | Lack of adherence to inhaled corticosteroid therapy is common in patients with asthma, and it has been suggested that allowing patients to choose their own inhalers would resolve this problem. The FSI-10 (Feeling of Satisfaction with Inhaler) is a self-completed questionnaire to assess patient opinions regarding ease o... | 18,727,886 |
Developmental timing: let-7 function conserved through evolution. | Expression of the heterochronic microRNA let-7 is tightly correlated with the onset of adult development in many animals, suggesting that it functions as an evolutionarily conserved developmental timer. This hypothesis has now been confirmed by studies in Drosophila. | 18,727,906 |
HIV-1 infection: going nuclear with TNPO3/Transportin-SR2 and integrase. | Factors necessary for HIV-1 nuclear import have been sought for many years. Recent reports suggest that TNPO3/Transportin-SR2 binds to HIV-1 integrase and is required for HIV-1 infection of interphase cells. | 18,727,908 |
