But, so it is argued, it is essential to belief that beliefs oughtnot, among other things

Risk factors for medial meniscal pathology on knee MRI in older US adults: a multicentre prospective cohort study.

OBJECTIVES: Meniscal pathology in which the aetiology is often unclear is a frequent finding on knee MRI. This study investigates potential risk factors for medial meniscal lesions or extrusion in middle-aged and elderly persons. METHODS: Prospective cohort study using population-based subjects from Birmingham, Alabama and Iowa City, Iowa, USA (the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study). 644 men and

Discriminating Depressive Patients and Patients with Somatoform Disorders by Means of the Beck Depression Inventory

Ninety-eight patients, 56 suffering according to DSM-IV of unipolar depression and 42 of somatoform disorders, were compared on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) total scale, the subscale of Somatic complaints and the Cognitive-affective subscale. A factor analysis performed on the total group revealed five factors used to determine new subscales: Depressed mood, Somatic manifestations, Loss of

Right coronary fistula and aneurysm draining to the right atrium.

Abstract In a 3-year-old boy, a continuous heart murmur was heard. The echocardiogram showed a dilated right coronary artery suggesting the existence of a coronary fistula. A more detailed echocardiogram when the patient was sedated revealed a fistula leading to a large aneurysm and further to the right atrium. The accidental dissection and thrombosis during the interventional heart catheterizatio

Assessing accuracy in linkage analysis by means of confidence regions

When statistical linkage to a certain chromosomal region has been found, it is of interest to develop methods which quantify the accuracy with which the disease locus can be mapped. In this paper, we investigate the performance of three different types of confidence regions with asymptotically correct coverage probability as the number of pedigrees grows. Our setup is that of a saturated map of ma
