| attachment representations in adolescence: further evidence from psychiatric residential settings. | the adult attachment interview (aai) has afforded the opportunity to profile the various ways in which people make sense of early experience. while the initial research with the aai was primarily based on non-clinical populations, this paper extends the growing body of knowledge concerning attachment representations in clinical samples, specifically among severely emotionally disturbed adolescents. the study investigated 39 adolescents resident on five regional adolescent units in the south-east ... | 2001 | 11885813 |

| a comparison of two methods for the diagnosis of lymphogranuloma venereum. | a recent outbreak of lymphogranuloma venereum (lgv) within the men who have sex with men (msm) community and their requirement for extended therapy has highlighted the need for laboratory tests that differentiate lgv- from non-lgv-associated serovars of chlamydia trachomatis. two previously described methods were evaluated against 495 clinical specimens referred to the sexually transmitted bacteria reference laboratory (london, uk): (i) pcr amplification of a 1.1 kb region of the ompi gene follo ... | 2008 | 18628496 |
| sequence analysis of divergent canine coronavirus strains present in a uk dog population. | forty faecal samples were tested by rt-pcr using coronavirus consensus primers to determine faecal shedding of canine coronavirus (ccov) and canine respiratory coronavirus (crcov) in a dog population housed at a rescue centre. seven samples were positive for ccov while all samples were negative for crcov. sequence analysis of five ccov strains showed a high similarity with transmissible gastroenteritis virus (tgev) at the n-terminus of the spike protein. all strains contained an open reading fra ... | 2009 | 19162099 |
| the mini-mental state examination (mmse) in an elderly immigrant gujarati population in the united kingdom. | the principal aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the performance of a gujarati version of the mmse as a screening instrument for dementia. the effect of ethnicity on mmse performance was also examined. | 1997 | 9444539 |
| [identification and diagnosis of taylorella equigenitalis by a dna amplification method (pcr)]. | a polymerase chain reaction (pcr) for identification of taylorella equigenitalis was developed. the oligonucleotide primers are based on the dna sequence of the rrs gene of t. equigenitalis, encoding for the 16s ribosomal rna. analysis of 21 strains of t. equigenitalis from england, usa and switzerland showed an amplification product of 410 bp with identical sau3a restriction profile. the sensitivity of the pcr-assay was estimated to detect 50 to 500 bacteria of t. equigenitalis in a mixture wit ... | 1996 | 8721184 |
| feelings of guilt in major depression. conceptual and psychometric aspects. | a new scale for the evaluation of feelings of guilt is described. two types of guilt feeling were of potential interest: 'delusional' guilt or shame (experienced in relation to one's actions), and 'affective' guilt (a more general feeling of unworthiness). reliability and validity analyses for the first (15-item) version of the scale were performed in three separate and contrasting clinical samples. the second and final (seven-item) version was tested in another sample of major depressives and i ... | 1992 | 1617361 |
