Increased Collagen I/Collagen III Ratio Is Associated with Hemorrhage in Brain Arteriovenous Malformations in Human and Mouse.

The increase in the collagen I (COL I)/COL III ratio enhances vessel wall stiffness and renders vessels less resistant to blood flow and pressure changes. Activated microglia enhance inflammation-induced fibrosis. The COL I/COL III ratio in human and mouse brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) is associated with bAVM hemorrhage, and the depletion of microglia decreases the COL I/COL III ratio and hemorrhage.

Cellular loci involved in the development of brain arteriovenous malformations.

Brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs) are abnormal vessels that are prone to rupture, causing life-threatening intracranial bleeding. The mechanism of bAVM formation is poorly understood. Nevertheless, animal studies revealed that gene mutation in endothelial cells (ECs) and angiogenic stimulation are necessary for bAVM initiation.

Adolescent personality and two measures of response inconsistency.

This study examined the relationship between the Response Inconsistency Scale (RINC) of the Adolescent Personality Questionnaire and the Variable Response Inconsistency Scale (VRIN) of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for Adolescents (MMPI-A) in a group of 62 participants. RINC and VRIN were positively correlated .30 (p < .

Health care professionals' grief: a model based on occupational style and coping.

Many publications address grief in terminally ill patients and their loved ones. In contrast, this paper proposes a hypothetical model for grief reactions in health care professionals (HCPs) working with terminally ill patients. The model integrates three literatures: burnout, coping and personality/occupational interests.

Disorder concept scales and personality dimensions in a young adult sample.

Previous research has shown correlations between normal personality variables of the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire (16PF) and Axis II personality disorder scales using the Morey, Waugh, and Blashfield Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory. This study (N = 37) compared variables from the adolescent version of the 16PF, the High School Personality Questionnaire, Revised, including the new Clinical Supplement and the MMPI scales of Morey, et al. and yielded results similar to those from earlier studies with other inventories.

Introducing a new adolescent psychopathology screen: the High School Personality Questionnaire pathology section.

Evidence of criterion validity for a psychopathology supplement for the 1984 High School Personality Questionnaire of Cattell. Cattell, and Johns was obtained. This evidence came from correlations with Achenbach's scores on the Child Behavior Checklist and clinicians' ratings of 24 participants' psychological adjustment.

Broad factor scales of the 16 PF Fifth Edition and Millon personality disorder scales: a replication.

This study is a replication of the link between broad personality factors from the 16 PF and personality disorder scales based on Millon's typology of personality. The current study was done with the new version of the 16 PF during the final stages of norming. The sample consisted of 30 female and 2 male undergraduate and graduate students, ranging in age from about 21 to 60 years.

Personality disorder concept scales and 16 PF dimensions.

Using 148 clients from a private practice sample, concurrent scores on the Morey, Waugh, and Blashfield Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory Scales and the Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire were factor analyzed in an attempt to map the Axis II disorders within a circumplex of interpersonal behavior. Individual predictions about the 16 PF primaries were made and then equations were developed to predict the Morey, Waugh, Blashfield MMPI scales from the 16 PF scores. Using a separate sample of 43 clients and 21 students, a cross-validation of concepts was performed by using the 16 PF to generate the MMPI scores and correlating the predicted scores with concurrent Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory scores.

Temporal stability of occupational interest inventories.

Test-retest reliability data gathered from 83 sources (62 independent samples) were analyzed using a multiple-regression method to estimate the effects of several factors on the temporal stability of occupational interest inventories. Seven self-report inventories were examined--the Act Interest Inventory, the Career Assessment Inventory, the California Occupational Preference System Interest Survey, the Strong Vocational Interest Blank, and the Strong-Campbell Interest Inventory, Form T325 of the Strong Vocational Interest Blank. Samples encompassed a wide range of subjects.

Estimation of MCMI DSM-III axis II constructs from MMPI scales and subscales.

Wiggins, Harris and Lingoes, and Serkownek Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) scores were used to predict Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) scores in a 100-patient sample. Equations from the first sample were cross-validated on a sample of 212 inmate subjects. We conclude that scores on 19 of the 20 MCMI scales can be successfully predicted by the Wiggins, Harris and Lingoes, and Serkownek subscales of the MMPI.

Personality and biographic data that characterize men who abuse their wives.

Personality and background data were presented on 250 men enrolled in group treatment for wife abuse. Follow-up data were available for 44 of these men. Standard measures available included 16PF, PSI, and MAST for personality and alcoholism.

Heritabilities of ego strength (factor C), super ego strength (factor G), and self-sentiment (factor Q3) by multiple abstract variance analysis.

Tested over 3,000 boys (identical and fraternal twins, ordinary sibs, general population) aged 12-18 on Ego Strength, Super Ego Strength, and Self Sentiment. The Multiple Abstract Variance Analysis (MAVA) method was used to obtain estimates of abstract (hereditary, environmental) variances and covariances that contribute to total variation in the three traits. Within-family heritabilities for these traits were about .

Personality Matched Across Media In A Large High-School Sample.

Forms A and B of the High-School Personality Questionnaire and the complete Objective-Analytic Test Kit were administered to 840 boys aged 12-18. At issue was the alignment of second-stratum factors from the questionnaire data with the first-stratum factors from the O-A data. A salient relationship in the expected direction was found only for Anxiety (Q11, U124).

Unitary personality source traits analyzed for heritability.

1,768 12- to 18-year-old boys, in pairs from five constellations (identical and fraternal twins, brothers, unrelated boys raised together and a random general population sample) were measured by the O-A (performance) personality battery on source traits UI 16, 17 and 19. Corrections were made for ages and test validities in computing observed variances. Nine equations were set up in the multiple abstract variance (MAVA) model giving expectancies from seven unknown abstract variances (genetic, threptic, and genothreptic covariances) with respect to observed variances.
