Abstract:

The present paper addresses the problem of comparing two competitive treatments when there is a distinct possiblity of delay in obtaining response from the experimental units. A test procedure is suggested using paired observations and by adopting an inverse binomial scheme of sampling. Several exact and asymptotic performance chracteristics and properties of the proposed test are studied.

Abstract:

The beginning of the closer acquaintance of Modern Greek literature with Alcibiades’ forceful personality is located during the years of Greek Enlightenment, with the discovery of the world of History and the “return to the antiquity” through foreign texts, translated into Greek. Nevertheless, Alcibiades’ appearance as a literary character was delayed compared with his reach European literary fortunes. Alcibiades appears in 1837 through Alcibiades byAugustusGottliebMeissner, a translated “bildungsroman” from German, and half a century later through a second translation, from Italian this time, the homonymous FelicioCavallotti’s historical drama (1889). Examining closely these two texts and considering their presence in the source literatures as well as the terms of their reception in Greek it is concluded that Socrates’ disciple array with literary raiment served the ideological schema aiming at the strengthening of the relations between Modern Greek culture and antiquity and simultaneously the European family.

Abstract:

In this study, children, young adults, and older adults chose between immediate and delayed hypothetical monetary rewards The amount of the delayed reward was held constant while its delay was varied All three age groups showed delay discounting, that is, the amount of an immediate reward judged to be of equal value to the delayed reward decreased as a function of delay The rate of discounting was highest for children and lowest for older adults, predicting a life-span developmental trend toward increased self-control Discounting of delayed rewards by all three age groups was well described by a single function with age-sensitive parameters (all R2s > 94) Thus, even though there are quantitative age differences in delay discounting, the existence of an age-invariant form of discount function suggests that the process of choosing between rewards of different amounts and delays is qualitatively similar across the life span

Abstract:

Introduction: It is assumed that the outcome of kidney transplantation from living donors is more favorable than deceased donors. However, over the years there has been an overall improvement in transplant survival from both living and deceased donors. In this article we have evaluated and compared the most recent results in living and deceased donor kidney transplantations. Patients and Methods: Four hundred and forty six patients underwent kidney transplantation in our center from September 2009 to March 2014. The patients divided in two groups living (group A) and deceased (group B) donor transplantation groups. The patients were followed until September 2016. Acute rejection, graft survival, delayed graft function, renal artery thrombosis, graft nephrectomy, ureterocutaneous fistula, postoperative hypertension, mortality, hospital stay, hyperlipidemia, post transplantation diabetes and lymphocele rate measured and compared in two groups. Results: Most variables were not different between the two groups except lymphocele and delayed graft function. Lymphocele was more prevalent in group A (13.8% vs 3.1%, p-value = 0.02) and delayed graft function results were more desirable in living donor transplantation group (group B). Conclusion: Although, delayed graft function was less common in transplantation from living donors, short, and long term graft survival was not significantly different in this study.

Abstract:

In epidemiological research literatures, a latent or incubation period can be medelled by incorporating it as a delay effect (delayed SIR models), or by introducing an exposed class (SEIR models). In this paper we propose a comparison of a delayed SIR model and its corresponding SEIR model in terms of local stability. Also some numerical simulations are given to illustrate the theoretical results.

Abstract:

Abstract Background and study aims While endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage of pancreatic fluid collection (PFC) is recommended to be performed ≥ 4 weeks after onset of acute pancreatitis (AP), early (< 4 weeks) interventions are needed in some symptomatic cases. Despite feasibility of early percutaneous drainage, there have been few studies about early EUS-guided drainage of PFC. Patients and methods Consecutive patients who received EUS-guided drainage (EUS-PCD) of infected or symptomatic PFC at the University of Tokyo were retrospectively studied. Contraindications for EUS-PCD are lack of encapsulation or adhesion to the gastrointestinal tract. Safety and effectiveness of early vs delayed (≥ 4 weeks) EUS-PCD were compared. Results A total of 35 patients underwent EUS-PCD (12 early and 23 delayed) using 19 large-bore fully-covered metallic stent and 16 plastic stents. The median diameter of PFC was 110 mm (40 – 180) and 122 mm (17 – 250) in the early and delayed drainage groups, respectively. Median time from onset of AP to drainage was 23 and 85 days for early and delayed drainage, respectively. The technical success rate of EUS-guided drainage was 100 %. Endoscopic necrosectomy was performed in six early and 16 cases of delayed drainage. The adverse event rate was 25 % (3 bleeding) and 13 % (2 perforations and 1 CO2 retention) in the early and delayed drainage groups, respectively. Two patients died (1 early and 1 delayed) due to multiorgan failure. Conclusion Endoscopic drainage and subsequent necrosectomy of symptomatic PFC within 4 weeks after onset of acute pancreatitis was feasible, given that the collection was encapsulated and attached to the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract:

We are interested in finding the entire solutions of non-quasi-monotone delayed non-local reaction–diffusion equations. It is well known that the comparison principle is not applicable for such equations. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce two auxiliary quasi-monotone equations and establish some comparison arguments for the three systems. Some new types of entire solutions are then constructed using the comparison argument, the travelling wavefronts and a spatially independent solution of the auxiliary equations. We also extend our arguments to a delayed cellular neural network with non-monotonic output functions and a delayed non-local lattice differential equation with non-monotonic birth functions.

Abstract:

Abstract Objective The Virtual Environment Grocery Store (VEGS) was created to measure memory and everyday functional abilities (Parsons & McMahan, 2017). The objective of this study was to compare young adults’ recall of the VEGS shopping list with the CVLT-II in order to investigate what impact the virtual environment has on recall. Methods Young adults (ages 18–26, M = 18.90, SD = 1.60; N = 39) completed the VEGS and the CVLT-II. Results Young adults had higher recall on the CVLT-II than VEGS for immediate recall and delayed free recall, but there were no differences on delayed cued recall and delayed recognition. Conclusion Immediate and delayed free recall on the VEGS may be more difficult on the VEGS than the CVLT-II, perhaps reflecting the word length effect. The virtual environment may have allowed for deeper levels of processing, explaining the lack of differences on delayed cued recall and delayed recognition.

Abstract:

The possibility of a separate subgroup of language-delayed hyperactive preschoolers was explored. Cognitive and demographic variables of a series of cases at the Royal Ottawa Hospital Preschool Program were examined. A group of language-delayed hyperactive preschoolers was compared with a non-language delayed group of hyperactives and a non-hyperactive clinical comparison group. Significant differences between the language-delayed hyperactives and the two comparison groups were found on such variables as IQ, expressive language, receptive language, and visual-motor integration. The evidence presented supports the possibility of a separate subroup of hyperactive preschoolers with language delay and hyperactivity. The implications for both practice and theory are discussed and suggestions are made for further research.

Abstract:

Abstract This article examines real-time simultaneous interpretation (SI) and delayed SI, recorded speeches broadcast on TV through SI. The results showed that interpreters’ factors in two modes of SI had a high correlation thus showing that interpreters use a similar strategy when the speakers’ variables are identical. As expected, the quality of delayed SI was higher than that of live SI due to longer pauses, EVS and Korean sentences in live SI than those of delayed SI. Thus it was found that the quality of incoming sentences deteriorates when interpreters spend more time than allowed on a sentence. Interpreters in delayed SI, thanks to their strong sense of anticipation, produced a high quality SI by following the proper strategy. This implies that securing scripts in advance or obtaining a detailed outline by the interpreter is key to ensuring a quality SI.

Abstract:

Background: Acute cholecystitis, which is typically associated with gallstones, is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen presenting in emergency departments around the world. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of biliary leak and hospital stay between early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.Objectives: To compare the incidence of biliary leak and hospital stay between early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis.Material and Methods: Patients with radiologically confirmed acute calculus cholecystitis and ASA grade I/II were selected from the surgical OPD and prospectively randomized into two equivalent classes between August 1, 2015 and July 31, 2017. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on patients in group A, while delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed on patients in group B. The data was collected from the patients using a non-probability sampling technique.Results: The research included 200 patients with radiologically proven acute calculus cholecystitis and an ASA grade I/II. Overall, patients who had an early laparoscopic cholecystectomy had a shorter hospital stay and less billary leak than those who had a delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (P=0.01) (0.00 and 0.11). In comparison to Group-II, the number of post-operative complications was lower in Group-I.Conclusion: When compared to delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy allows for substantially shorter biliary leak frequency and overall hospital stay.Key Words: Acute cholecystitis, Cholecystectomy, Laparoscopic.

Abstract:

Summary Background: Primary bite wound suturing in the emergency department remains controversial in some cases. Objective: We conducted a study to investigate the infection rate and cosmetic appearance between primary wound closure and delayed wound closure in dog bite wounds in humans. Methods: All patients with bite wounds were treated with oral antibiotic medications. We adopted a randomized cohort study, dividing the patients who needed wound closure into two groups: 60 patients for primary closure, and 60 patients for delayed closure, and compared the infection rate and wound cosmetic appearance scores. Results: In the primary closure group, four people (6.7%) developed a wound infection without systemic infection. In the delayed closure group, three people (5%) developed a wound infection (p = 0.093), but there were not any patients that developed a systemic infection. Thirty-three patients (55%) in the primary closure group had optimal cosmetic scores, whereas 20 patients (33.3%) in the delayed closure group had optimal cosmetic scores (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Although primary wound closure for dog bites may be associated with a higher infection rate, the cosmetic appearance after primary closure was still acceptable.

Abstract:

Objectives: The current research was established to make a comparison between the delayed-start GnRH antagonist and flare-up GnRH agonist protocols in poor response patients. Methods: The present study is a randomized, prospective, controlled trial that was performed on 150 women who referred to two distinct in vitro fertilization (IVF) centers in Iran. Patients were randomly assigned to two experimental groups, as one group was treated with the delayed-start GnRH antagonist protocol (delayed-start group), while another group was treated with the flare-up protocol (flare-up group). Results: The serum concentrations of estradiol and progesterone, along with the thickness of endometrial tissue and the number of follicles ≥13 mm was significantly increased in the delayed-start group compared with the flare-up group. Also, the number of total oocytes, retrieved mature oocytes, total embryos, fertilized oocytes, as well as the quality of embryos were markedly higher in the delayed-start group when compared with the flare-up group. No statistically significant difference was found in the rates of fertilization, implantation, and pregnancy between the two experimental groups. Conclusions: According to the above evidence, it seems that the effect of delayed-start protocol on ovarian responsiveness was more pronounced during controlled ovarian stimulation in comparison with the flare-up protocol and the delayed start protocol probably lead to better implantation and pregnancy rates in comparison with the flare up agonist protocol cycle in poor responders.

Abstract:

A candidin, which is a suspension of killed yeast cells, is commonly used for intradermal tests of delayed hypersensitivity, to evaluate the immunological cellular competence of the patient, when the test is applied along with other similar tests. When working with a cellular antigen, the histopathology of positive skin tests reveals a cellular infiltrate which not only presents a characteristic hypersensitivity reaction but also a neutrophilic abscess in the central part. This research presents the results of a comparison between the yeast cell suspension and the polysaccharide antigens, both obtained from the same strains of Candida albicans. The results obtained by skin tests in one hundred individuals were 61.0% with the polysaccharide antigen and 69.0% with the yeast cell suspension antigen. Concordant results concerning the two antigens were observed in 82.0% of the individuals. The discussion section presents an assumption to explain the differences of positivity obtained with the two antigens. We conclude that the polysaccharide antigen can be utilized in the intradermal test of delayed hypersensitivity to Candida albicans.

Abstract:

Background: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is now accepted as being safe for acute cholecystitis. However, it has not become routine, because the exact timing and approach to the surgical management remains ill define. Careful selection of patients, the knowledge of typical procedure-related complications, and their best treatment are the key points for a safe Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Objective: To compare the early and delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in the acute phase in terms of frequency of conversion to open cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial. Settings: Department of Surgery, Divisional Headquarter Hospital, Faisalabad. Punjab Medical College, Faisalabad Pakistan. Duration: Study was carried out over a period of six months from June 2018 to May 2019. Methodology: A total of 152 cases (76 cases in each group) were included in this study. All patients were randomly allocated to either group i.e., group -A early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and group-B delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Results: Mean age was 39.09 + 8.8 and 37.05+ 8.5 years in group- A and B, respectively. In group-A, male patients were 48 (63.2%) and female patients were 28 (36.8%). Similarly, in group-B, male patients were 41 (53.9%) and female patients were 35 (46.1%). Conversion to open cholecystectomy was required in 6 patients (7.9%) of group-A and 16 patients (21.0%) of group – B. Significant difference between two groups was observed (P= 0.021). Conclusion: Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is safe and feasible in terms of less frequency of conversion to open cholecystectomy.

Abstract:

Three hundred one patients were examined for suicidal plans during the acute hospital period following stroke and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months' follow-up. It was found that 6.6% of patients developed suicidal plans during the initial in-hospital evaluation (acute-onset suicidal plans) and 11.3% of patients developed suicidal plans at 3, 6, 12, or 24 months' follow-up (delayed-onset suicidal plans). The development of both acute and delayed-onset suicidal plans was strongly related to the existence of depressive disorders, especially major depression, and to a prior history of stroke. Acute-onset suicidal plans were also related to premorbid alcohol abuse. Acute-onset suicidal patients had more anterior lesion location and delayed-onset suicidal patients had more posterior stroke lesions. Delayed-onset suicidal plans were not related to alcohol abuse but tended to be associated with greater physical impairment and poorer social support during the acute poststroke period. These data suggest that the etiology of these two types of suicidal plans may be different with acute onset related to biological mechanisms and delayed onset related to psychological mechanisms.

Abstract:

Visually guided behavior often involves decisions that are based on evaluating stimuli in the context of those observed previously. Such decisions are made by monkeys comparing two consecutive stimuli, sample and test, moving in the same or opposite directions. We examined whether responses in the motion processing area MT during the comparison phase of this task (test) are modulated by the direction of the preceding stimulus (sample). This modulation, termed comparison signal, was measured by comparing responses to identical test stimuli on trials when it was preceded by sample moving in the same direction (S-trials) with trials when it was preceded by sample moving in a different direction (D-trials). The test always appeared in the neuron's receptive field (RF), whereas sample could appear in the RF or in the contralateral visual field (remote sample). With sample in-RF, we found three types of modulation carried by different sets of neurons: early suppression on S-trials and late enhancement, one on S-trials, and the other on D-trials. Under these conditions, many neurons with and without comparison effects exhibited significant, choice-related activity. Response modulation was also present following the remote sample, even though the information about its direction could only reach MT indirectly via top-down influences. However, unlike on trials with in-RF sample, these signals were dominated by response suppression, shedding light on the contribution of top-down influences to the comparison effects. These results demonstrate that during the task requiring monkeys to compare two directions of motion, MT responses during the comparison phase of this task reflect similarities and differences between the two stimuli, suggesting participation in sensory comparisons. The nature of these signals provides insights into the operation of bottom-up and top-down influences involved in this process.

Abstract:

In 1985, a hepatitis B (HB) vaccination strategy against vertical HB virus transmission was introduced in Japan that recommended vaccination of infants at two, three, and five months of age (delayed strategy). This schedule was revised in 2013, recommending to vaccinate at birth and at 1 and 6 months of age (non-delayed strategy). We aimed to compare the vertical HB virus transmission rates and immunogenic responses between these two vaccination strategies. This Japanese multicenter prospective cohort study included 222 infants born between 2008 and 2017 to serum hepatitis B surface (HBs) antigen (HBsAg)-positive mothers. During the study period, 136 and 86 infants received delayed and non-delayed strategies, respectively. A positive vertical HB virus transmission was defined as a positive serum HBsAg status. Seropositive immunogenic response was defined as a serum anti-HBs titer of ≥10 mIU/mL. Post-vaccination serum HBsAg positivity rates did not differ significantly between the delayed (0/136 [0.0%, 95% confidence interval, 0.0–2.7%]) and non-delayed (2/86 [2.3%, 95% confidence interval, 0.3–8.1%]) strategy groups. Seropositive immunogenic response rates were 100.0% (136/136) and 97.7% (84/86), respectively. Although this study was under-powered to detect a statistically significant result, no vertical HB virus transmission was observed in the delayed strategy.

Abstract:

Background and Aims: Animal models have been demonstrating that MMPs have an important function in the tooth eruption process. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms in MMP8 and MMP13 and delayed tooth eruption of permanent teeth. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study selected 216 children, 9- to 12-year-old, from public schools at Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. During oral clinical examination, each permanent tooth emerged in the oral cavity was evaluated. Children were considered with delayed tooth eruption when at least one permanent tooth was delayed and were classified in 2 groups: children “with delayed tooth emergency” and “without delayed tooth emergency.” Saliva samples were collected from DNA extraction. The genetic polymorphisms rs17099443 and rs3765620 in MMP8, and rs478927 and rs2252070 in MMP13 were genotyped. Statistical Analysis: PLINK V1.07 ( http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/purcell/plink/ ) and GraphPad Prism 5.0 (San Diego, CA, USA) were used. The c2 or Fisher exact test was used to calculate genotypes and alleles distributions. To compare the mean number of delayed teeth according to genotypes, the Kruskal-Wallis test with multiple comparison Dunn test was used. The established alpha for all comparisons was .05. Results: The polymorphism rs17099443 in MMP8 was associated with delayed tooth eruption in the genotype distribution ( P = .05). In the allele distribution, the C allele was underrepresented in children with delayed tooth eruption ( P = .01; OR = 0.61, 95% confidence interval, 0.41–0.9). Conclusion: The genetic polymorphism rs17099443 in MMP8 is associated with delayed tooth eruption.

Abstract:

Purpose. To compare the performance of static myocardialDECT perfusion imaging (CTA) with DECT delayed enhancement for detection of ischemic myocardial scars using LGE MRI as a diagnostic standard.Materials and Methods. 29 patients (m/f –16/13 mean age 57.6 ± 2.1) with chronic myocardial infarction were prospectively enrolled in the study. The CCTA protocol consisted of prospectively gated static myocardial DECT perfusion imaging (angiographic phase) and DECT delayed enhancement with 8 min delay after contrast media injection. Study was performed with 64-row single-source dual energy CT with fast kilovoltage switching. DECT images were visually assessed for first-pass arterial enhancement deficit and delayed enhancement using iodine distribution maps by 2 observers in comparison with LGE MRI. Sensitivity and specificity, the normalized iodine concentration ratio of normal myocardium and scar tissue were calculated both for both methods.Results. For scar detection static myocardial DECT perfusion had accuracy, sensitivity and specificity 95%, 90%, 95%, resp. vs. delayed DECT – 96%, 88%, 99%, resp. There was no significant difference between accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for DECT perfusion and delayed DECT (p = 0.32). However diagnostic confidence and normalized iodine concentration ratio of normal myocardium and scar for static myocardial DECT perfusion were significantly lower than for delayed DECT (p < 0.0001).Conclusion. DECT CTA and DECT delayed enhancement have a good accuracy for detection of post-infarction scars in comparison with LGE MRI. The overall diagnostic performance of DECT delayed enhancement was better then of static myocardial DECT perfusion imaging. Thus, delayed sequences should not be omitted from CTA standard protocol if the aim is myocardial scar detection.

Abstract:

Diagnosis of dementia is a challenge in populations with heterogeneous educational background. OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracies of two delayed recall tests for the diagnosis of dementia in a community with high proportion of illiterates. METHOD: The delayed recall of a word list from the CERAD battery (DR-CERAD) was compared with the delayed recall of objects presented as line drawings from the Brief Cognitive Screening Battery (DR-BCSB) using ROC curves. Illiterate (23 controls and 17 patients with dementia) and literate individuals (28 controls and 17 patients with dementia) were evaluated in a community-dwelling Brazilian population. RESULTS: The DR-BCSB showed higher accuracy than the DR-CERAD in the illiterate (p=0.029), similar accuracy in the literate individuals (p=0.527), and a trend for higher accuracy in the entire population (p=0.084). CONCLUSION: the DR-BCSB could be an alternative for the diagnosis of dementia in populations with high proportion of illiterates.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES Posaconazole is effective in preventing invasive fungal infections in neutropenic pediatric patients. The oral suspension has challenges in administration and absorption that are theorized to be minimized with delayed release tablets. However, this has not been validated in the pediatric population. This study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of posaconazole suspension and delayed release tablets in pediatric hematology/oncology patients. METHODS A retrospective chart review in pediatric hematology/oncology patients was conducted from February 2013 to February 2017. Data collected include patient demographic data; posaconazole formulation, dose, and serum concentrations; and adverse events. RESULTS Sixty-five patients with 353 serum posaconazole concentrations were included; 51.6% of concentrations drawn while patients were receiving posaconazole suspension were therapeutic, whereas 62.5% of concentrations drawn while patients were receiving posaconazole delayed release tablets were therapeutic (p = 0.035). Serum concentrations drawn while taking acid suppression (histamine receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors) and posaconazole suspension were less likely to be therapeutic (p < 0.0001) compared with those taken while receiving delayed release tablets. Adverse event profiles were similar between both formulations. CONCLUSIONS Delayed release tablets proved more effective in achieving therapeutic serum posaconazole concentrations than posaconazole suspension, with minimal difference in adverse events, in pediatric hematology/oncology patients.

Abstract:

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic accuracy and incremental diagnostic role of quantitative indices of early and delayed lesion to non‐lesion ratios (L/Ns) in the detection of primary breast cancer. Material and Methods: Double‐phase 99mTc MIBI scintimammography (SMM) (early 10 min, delayed 3 h) was performed after injection of 750 MBq of 99mTc MIBI in 446 highly suspected breast cancer patients (malignant: 311, benign: 135). For visual analysis, five scoring methods were used, and, for quantitative analysis, early and delayed L/Ns were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were performed to determine the optimal visual grade, and to calculate cut‐off values of quantitative indices for differentiation of malignant and benign diseases and to investigate whether the quantitative indices could provide incremental diagnostic values in addition to visual analysis. Results: Optimal visual grades were above 4 and 5 in the detection of breast cancer. Sensitivity was 84.2% and specificity 79.3%; the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.832 (95% CI, 0.794–0.866) and standard error was 0.019. Early and delayed L/Ns of malignant breast disease were significantly higher than those of benign disease (early: 2.01±0.99 versus 1.13±0.26 ( P<0.001); delayed: 1.68±0.69 versus 1.11±0.23 ( P<0.001)). The optimal L/Ns for the detection of primary breast cancer were 1.27 for early and 1.12 for delayed imaging. When early L/N 1.27 was used as cut‐off value for the detection of primary breast cancer, the sensitivity of SMM was 77.8% and specificity 85.2%. The AUC was 0.856 (95% CI, 0.820–0.888). When delayed L/N 1.12 was used, sensitivity and specificity were 81.4% and 78.5%, respectively. The AUC was 0.834 (95% CI, 0.796–0.867). The ROC comparison of early and delayed L/N showed no statistical difference in the detection of malignant breast disease ( P = 0.403). When the delayed L/N was added to the early one, early plus delayed quantitative analysis (E+D) showed 86.5% sensitivity and 74.8% specificity. However, the AUCs of E+D (0.854, 95% CI, 0.767–0.842) and early L/N (E) (0.856) showed no statistical difference ( P = 0.614). When grades 4 and 5 were used as cut‐off visual grade, sensitivity and specificity were 84.2% and 79.3%, respectively. When the E was added to visual grade, visual plus early L/N (V+E) showed 89.4% sensitivity and 77% specificity. The AUC of V+E (0.867, 95% CI, 0.832–0.897) was significantly higher than that of visual analysis (V) (0.832, 95% CI, 0.794–0.866, P<0.001). When the delayed L/N (D) was added to visual grade, visual plus delayed L/N (V+D) showed 89.4% sensitivity and 74.1% specificity. The AUCs of V+D (0.852, 95% CI, 0.816–0.884) and V revealed no statistical differences ( P = 0.052). Conclusion: From this study, the optimal visual grades for diagnosis of breast cancer were grades 4 and 5; the cut‐off values of L/Ns were 1.27 for early and 1.12 for delayed imaging. It was also found that early L/Ns provide incremental value in addition to visual analysis. However, delayed L/N revealed no incremental value. Therefore, the delayed image should not be routinely performed for purposes of primary breast cancer detection

Abstract:

This study compared the effect of type of computer input device on the task performance of 40 developmental^ delayed and 40 non-delayed kindergarten children. Two input devices were evaluated, including a traditional computer keyboard and a touch-sensitive computer screen. Subjects completed an alphabet matching task and a spelling task under the counterbalanced treatment conditions. Results indicated that the touch-sensitive screen generally improved the performance of both groups. It was concluded that the more natural response associated with the touch screen enhanced subject performance through reducing preoccupation with the response device.
