Published: January 1984

Present research methods do not seem to be leading us toward general agreement regarding reading disability subtypes. Even if there were agreement, conventional group research designs are not adequate for determining the optimal remedial procedure for each subtype. It is recommended that careful thought be given to the formulation of more appropriate theoretical frameworks and behavioral measures, and that single-subject research designs which yield information about subtypes and remediation effects be designed through collaboration of researchers and practitioners.

This case is the first reported patient with a gene mutation who primarily exhibits pronounced inattention as the main manifestation and is diagnosed with ADHD, requiring methylphenidate treatment. It is characterized by unique clinical features that set it apart from previously reported cases with mutations in the gene. Here, we report a female child with a diagnosis of ADHD and comorbidities.

Acute dystonia is a neurological condition characterized by involuntary muscle contractions that can affect various parts of the body. It is commonly triggered by the use of antipsychotic medications, especially within the first few days after administration. Respiratory acute laryngeal dystonia, a particularly severe form of this condition and a very subtype of laryngeal dystonia, can lead to respiratory distress and airway obstruction if not promptly treated.

Background And Aims: To analyze the radiologic and histologic characteristics of screening and interval cancers diagnosed in the period comprising 2007 through 2018 in a total of six rounds of a population-based breast cancer screening program.

Material And Methods: We analyzed 1395 carcinomas detected at screening and 300 interval carcinomas diagnosed in women aged 50-69 years old who underwent digital mammography every two years during the study period. Screening mammograms were read once.

Introduction When an organ, such as the colon, pushes through the wall of the abdominal cavity, a hernia results. After femoral and inguinal hernias, umbilical hernias account for the third most common kind of abdominal hernia in adults precipitated by conditions such as obesity, ascites, and repeated pregnancies. A subtype of umbilical hernias called paraumbilical hernias is more likely to cause problems such as rupture, skin ulceration, and obstruction.

Single-cell transcriptomics, epigenomics, and other 'omics applied at single-cell resolution can significantly advance hypotheses and understanding of glial biology. Omics technologies are revealing a large and growing number of new glial cell subtypes, defined by their gene expression profile. These subtypes have significant implications for understanding glial cell function, cell-cell communications, and glia-specific changes between homeostasis and conditions such as neurological disease.
