Prevalence, nature, and comorbidity of depressive disorders in primary care
(Elsevier, 1994-07)
This article examines the prevalence, nature, and comorbidity of depressive disorders using DSM-III-R criteria among patients recruited from the waiting rooms of family physicians. A total of 1928 family practice patients ...
Cerebellar and brainstem hypometabolism in olivopontocerebellar atrophy detected with positron emission tomography
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-03)
We studied local cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (lCMRglc) with 18 F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose and positron emission tomography (PET) in 30 patients with olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) and 30 age-matched control ...
Cerebral glucose hypermetabolism in Friedreich's ataxia detected with positron emission tomography
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1990-12)
Local cerebral metabolic rate for glucose was studied with 18 F-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose and positron emission tomography (PET) in 22 patients with Friedreich's ataxia and 23 age-matched normal control subjects. The ...
Motor dysfunction in olivopontocerebellar atrophy is related to cerebral metabolic rate studied with positron emission tomography
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-09)
We compared the severity of motor dysfunction with local cerebral metabolic rates for glucose (lCMRGlc) and the; degree of tissue atrophy in 30 patients with olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA). We devised a scale to ...
Beliefs about control of smoking and smoking behavior: A comparison of different measures in different groups
(Elsevier, 1987)
This study investigated several measures of beliefs about controlling smoking as predictors of cessation and reduction at one and six months after a medically-based control program. Smokers (n = 250 total) attending general ...
Positron emission tomographic scan investigations of Huntington's disease: Cerebral metabolic correlates of cognitive function
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-06)
Fifteen drug-free patients with early to mid-stage Huntington's disease (HD) were evaluated with positron emission tomographic (PET) scans of 18 F-2-fluro-2-deoxy- D -glucose uptake and quantitative measures of neurological ...
PET scan investigations of Huntington's disease: Cerebral metabolic correlates of neurological features and functional decline
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1986-09)
Fifteen drug-free patients with early to midstage Huntington's disease were evaluated with quantitative neurological examinations, scales for functional capacity, computed tomographic (CT) scans, and positron emission ...
The Role of Optimism/Pessimism in HRQOL in Chronic Hepatitis C Patients
(Kluwer Academic Publishers-Plenum Publishers; Plenum Publishing Corporation ; Springer Science+Business Media, 2003-03)
One hundred and twenty three outpatients with compensated chronic hepatitis C (CHC) completed the SF-36, BSI, and questions regarding the expected impact of CHC on their health. Respondents were categorized as optimists ( ...
Positron emission tomography measures of benzodiazepine receptors in Huntington's disease
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1993-07)
We performed positron emission tomographic (PET) measurements of the regional distribution volume of benzodiazepine receptors and regional glucose metabolism in 6 drug-free patients with early Huntington's disease following ...
Sleep-Disordered Breathing in Michigan: A Practice Pattern Survey
(Springer-Verlag; Thieme Medical Publishers, Inc., 2003-07)
Objectives: This survey sought to determine whether self-professed sleep specialists in the State of Michigan show practice variations in the diagnosis and management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and whether such ...
