standardized clinical evaluation of depressive and anxious symptomatology.	the main standardized instruments for clinical assessment of depression and anxiety are diagnostic criteria, rating scales, and mental tests, mainly questionnaires. the systematic use of rigorous diagnostic criteria is useful in recruiting sufficiently homogeneous patient groups for clinical research. the polydiagnostic system represents, in this perspective, a stimulating trend of research, as it is not linked to a sole nosographic reference system. some rating scales have recently been develop ...	1988	3180118
a comparison of selective saturation and selective echo chemical shift imaging techniques.	we report on a comparative study of two methods of chemical shift imaging which can be used to selectively image fat and water in vivo. both methods require a b0 field sufficiently homogenous to resolve the methylene and water spectral lines. one method, called chess, uses a chemically selective pulse to saturate the unwanted spectral line. the other method, called secsi, achieves chemical selectivity by using a soft 180 degree rf pulse in forming a spin echo image. both methods require that the ...	1988	3185136
[doppler and valvular prostheses].	the principle of examination of prosthetic valves is not different from that of the original valves in terms of bioprosthesis. on the contrary, mechanical prosthesis are markedly opaque to ultrasounds and cause masking and non-flow phenomena behind the prosthesis, which are capable to completely hide abnormal retrograde flows, in traditional views (apical 4 cavities to demonstrate a mitral leakage). therefore, with mechanical prostheses, it is necessary to "cheat" and use atypical views which av ...	2011	3223725
the role of theories of cognitive aging: comment on salthouse.	cognitive models of aging ought, minimally, to simulate age effects for a broad range of tasks, and their underlying assumptions ought to be constrained by existing data on cognitive mechanisms. salthouse's model (and other parallel distributed-processing network models) meets the first criterion better than it meets the second. another weakness is in its inability to account for goal-directed behavior. thus, models like that of salthouse seem best suited to the description of automatic informat ...	1988	3268238

terminal distributions along a 'knight's line' for a stochastic epidemic.	the model under consideration relates to the spread of a disease in a finite population where removal of infectives is allowed to occur. it is equivalent to a restricted random walk over a discrete grid of points interior to a trapezium. we consider an artificial barrier on the grid at which the epidemic ceases. the barrier is a semi-diagonal resembling the path of the knight in chess and allows some simplification of the analysis. in particular, we investigate the probability distribution along ...	1987	3503088
[various characteristics of gene localization in eukaryotic chromosomes. formulation of a problem and analysis of non-random localization of mating type loci in fungi].	we have denoted two possible models of gene order evolution as the "card" and "chess" models. the first suggests random shuffling of genes during evolution, the second--non-random gene transposition, gene order being checked by natural selection. we discuss here localization of the mating type locus in fungal genomes. in 8 of 10 genetically well studied species of ascomycetous fungi, the mating type locus is linked to a centromere; in one species, it segregates regularly during the second meioti ...	2012	3542707
[anxiolytic efficacy and tolerance of tetrabamate in anxious patients abusing alcohol. multicenter double-blind versus placebo study].	the anxiolytic efficacy of tetrabamate was evaluated in 68 out-patients presenting an anxiety state with alcohol abuse according to dsm iii criteria. the study followed a double-blind placebo-controlled design with parallel groups and lasted for 21 days. anxiety was evaluated by the hamilton anxiety scale, norris visual analog scales, and the hopkins symptom check list, along with the investigator's assessment. safety was evaluated in terms of somatic symptoms (chess 84) and the physician's over ...	2013	3545785

[testing of visual function by the evoked potential method before and after surgical treatment of optico-chiasmal arachnoiditis].	dynamics of changes of visual evoked potentials recorded in patients with optico-chiasmatic arachnoiditis in response to a flash of light were revealed during restoration of visual function in the postoperative period. in improvement of visual functions no changes were found of evoked potentials recorded in a chess pattern in the immediate postoperative period.	2008	3564794
gradient reversal technique and its applications to chemical-shift-related nmr imaging.	the chemical-shift effect often degrades slice selectivity thereby degrading the contrast and spatial resolutions in a high-field nmr imaging. we propose a new pulse sequence which can compensate for this chemical-shift effect during slice selection. this technique provides correct slice definition as well as clear separation between water and lipid protons in high-field proton nmr imaging. particular applications of this technique are 2d imaging with a thin-slice selection and chunk 3d imaging, ...	1987	3613953
a model for emmetropization: predicting the progression of ametropia.	the response of a second-order feedback system is used to describe the controlling process that regulates the refraction of the human eye to achieve optimal visual acuity over the years (emmetropization). from data collected in past refractions, the equation of the feedback system has been derived for individual eyes and used to predict changes in their refraction with age with an accuracy of 0.50 diopters for 89.1% of the eyes tested. if the model is applied to other populations, the root mean ...	1987	3614846
cartilage disorders: comparison of spin-echo, chess, and flash sequence mr images.	magnetic resonance (mr) imaging is known to be a suitable modality for the visualization of the hyaline cartilage and the fibrocartilage joint structures. to compare standard spin-echo (se) images with water images obtained with the chemical shift selective (chess) sequence and with the fast low angle shot (flash) sequence, examinations were performed with all three sequences in eight volunteers and 28 patients with inflammatory degenerative and traumatic alterations of the knee, hip, and sacroi ...	1987	3615875
[relation between sleep and processes of retention and mental activity].	the structure of nocturnal sleep was studied in two groups of subjects: the group i subjects had been given 60 unfamiliar english words to learn, whereas group ii subjects had been playing games of chess. the paradoxical sleep (ps) latency in the 1 st cycle, the type of falling into the ps, and intensity of rapid eye movements were recorded. no reliable difference was found in the sleep structure of both test groups. no correlation either was observed between the sleep characteristics and the qu ...	1986	3732546
multiple chemical shift selective (chess) mr imaging using stimulated echoes.	recently, stimulated echo acquisition mode (steam) magnetic resonance (mr) imaging has been demonstrated as a new tool for multiparametric mr imaging studies. applications of the chemical shift selective (chess) steam technique using a 2.0-t whole-body mr imaging system are reported in which a series of contiguous cross-sectional images of the head and the pelvis were acquired. because selective excitation of the desired component is employed rather than elimination of the unwanted component, th ...	1986	3737919

multipurpose nmr imaging using stimulated echoes.	steam (stimulated-echo acquisition mode) imaging techniques recently introduced by the authors are demonstrated to provide a versatile tool for improving the parametric specificity in nmr imaging. stimulated echoes can be excited by a sequence of at least three rf pulses with flip angles of 90 degrees or less. the main characteristics of the steam method are based on the great functional flexibility of an imaging sequence comprising three rf pulses unequal to 180 degrees and three intervals prio ...	1986	3747817
the impact of temperament in a school setting: an epidemiological study.	the authors present the results of an epidemiological study on a large non-clinical population-based sample of french speaking seven year-old children (n = 596) whose aim was to verify if a relation exists between temperament and outward-type or inward-type behavior problems in school. the thomas and chess' parent temperament questionnaire, filled out twice by the parents over a four-week interval, was used to determine temperament. the conners teacher questionnaire, filled out twice by the teac ...	1986	3756750
darwinian evolution in games with perfect information.	we consider a model of darwinian evolution in games with perfect information like chess or checkers. the evolution is viewed as a sequence of strategies, each of which wins over its immediate predecessor. we argue that the intelligence level of strategies need not necessarily increase during this type of evolution.	1987	3828402
roundtable: what is temperament? four approaches.	4 current approaches to understanding temperament are discussed in the roundtable. in an introductory overview, goldsmith outlines some of the major convergences and divergences in the understanding of this concept. theorists representing 4 positions--goldsmith, buss and plomin, rothbart, and thomas and chess--outline their views by responding to each of 6 questions: how do you define temperament and explain the boundaries of the concept? what are the elements of temperatment? how does the const ...	2013	3829791

chemical shift selective mr imaging using a whole-body magnet.	we have applied a new method for separating water and fat resonances in proton magnetic resonance (mr) imaging to human studies using a whole-body mr imaging system at 2.0 t. chemical shift selective (chess) mr imaging provides either a water or fat image in a single experimental run within the same time needed for a conventional composite image. although the technique requires a spectral resolution of about 1 ppm over the entire imaging region, first images of the human head and hip indicated t ...	1985	4011907
[use of visual evoked potentials in neurology--a review. i].	in 1972, halliday and co-workers [13] inaugurated the rotary mirror method for producing the visually evoked potential (vep) by means of pattern reversal. the so-called pattern reversal vep (prvep) is at present frequently obtained by means of a television monitor (tv stimulation) or light-emitting diode system (led system). independent of its special advantages and disadvantages, the stimulation by means of these systems as compared to the simple flash stimulation potentials seems to evoke with ...	2014	4013563
