Color obsessions and phobias in autism spectrum disorders : the case of J.G
(2014-05-04)
The current study is the first investigation of color 'obsessions' and 'phobias' in ASD. We investigate the color perception and cognition of J.G., a boy with ASD who has a strong obsession with blue, and a strong phobia ...
Use of a sensory room on an intensive care unit
(2014-05-01)
This study explores the use of a sensory room on a psychiatric intensive care unit (PICU), with a particular focus on the effect on seclusion rates and staff and patients' experiences of using the sensory room. A mixed ...
Disease-specific predictive formulas for energy expenditure in the dialysis population
(2014-04-28)
OBJECTIVE: Metabolic rate is poorly understood in advanced kidney disease because direct measurement is expensive and time-consuming. Predictive equations for resting energy expenditure (REE) are needed based on simple ...
Three-dimensional kinematic correlates of ball velocity during maximal instep soccer kicking in males
(2014-04-23)
Achieving a high ball velocity is important during soccer shooting, as it gives the goalkeeper less time to react, thus improving a player's chance of scoring. This study aimed to identify important technical aspects of ...
Auditory processing and sensory behaviours in children with autism spectrum disorders as revealed by mismatch negativity
(2014-04-01)
Sensory dysfunctions may underlie key characteristics in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The current study aimed to investigate auditory change detection in children with ASD in order to determine event-related ...
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during running
(2014-02-01)
In running analyses where both kinetic and kinematic information is recorded, participants are required to make foot contact with a force and/or pressure measuring transducer. Problems arise if participants modify their ...
Movement speed is biased by prior experience
(2014-01-01)
How does the motor system choose the speed for any given movement? Many current models assume a process that finds the optimal balance between the costs of moving fast and the rewards of achieving the goal. Here, we show ...
The effect of different durations of carbohydrate mouth rinse on cycling performance
(2014)
Carbohydrate (CHO) mouth rinse has been shown to improve time trial performance. Although the exact mechanism remains un-established, research postulates that there are oral cavity receptors which increase neural drive. ...
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with etanercept with reference to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs : long-term safety and survival using prospective, observational data
(2014-01)
The objective of this study was to examine the long-term safety of etanercept (ETN) in comparison with conventional DMARDs in a large observational cohort of RA patients in the UK.
Trajectories of functional limitation in early rheumatoid arthritis and their association with mortality
(2013-11)
This study aimed to identify subgroups with distinct trajectories of functional (HAQ) progression over 10 years following diagnosis of RA and identify baseline characteristics associated with the trajectories and their ...
