Externalizing psychopatholog yand the error-related negativity
Prior research has demonstrated that antisocial behavior, substance-use disorders, and personality dimensions of aggression and impulsivity are indicators of a highly heritable underlying dimension of risk, labeled externalizing. Other work has shown that individual trait constructs within this psychopathology spectrum are associated with reduced self-monitoring, as reflected by amplitude of the error-related negativity (ERN) brain response. In this study of undergraduate subjects, reduced ERN amplitude was associated with higher scores on a self-report measure of the broad externalizing construct that links these various indicators. In addition, the ERN was associated with a response-locked increase in anterior theta (4–7 Hz) oscillation; like the ERN, this theta response to errors was reduced among high-externalizing individuals. These findings suggest that neurobiologically based deficits in endogenous action monitoring may underlie generalized risk for an array of impulse-control problems
Virilizing Adrenal Cancer and Bail-out Nephrectomy
We report a rare case of virilizing adrenal cancer with tumorous invasion of the left renal vein in which a retroperitoneal adrenalectomy with bail-out nephrectomy was performed. A tumor thrombus infiltrated the wall of the left adrenal vein and extended into the left renal vein. Initially, a kidney sparing procedure with partial tangential excision of the involved renal vein wall was performed. After positive vein margins were confirmed with intraoperative histology, the indication for nephrectomy was made. To the authors’ awareness, this is the first report of a virilizing adrenal cancer with a tumor thrombus infiltration of the renal vein and surgical tendency for kidney preservation
Add-on Effect of Postural Instructions to Abdominopelvic Exercise on Urinary Symptoms and Quality of Life in Climacteric Women with Stress Urinary Incontinence : A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
The aim of this study was to investigate the add-on effect of postural instructions to an abdominopelvic exercise program on incontinence urinary symptoms (UI symptoms) and quality of life (QoL) in climacteric women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). A randomized controlled trial was performed with a total of 40 climacteric women with SUI aged between 46 and 75 years old. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: a group performing an abdominopelvic exercise program (AEP) (n = 20) and a group performing abdominopelvic exercise with the addition of postural instructions (AEPPI) (n = 20). Primary outcome measures were UI symptoms, UI impact and QoL related to UI (UI-QoL), measured by 48 h Pad Test and International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-UI-SF), which were assessed at baseline, post-intervention and 3 months follow-up. Secondary outcome was patient's satisfaction measured by the 100-point Visual Analogic Scale (VAS) only after the intervention. Between-groups differences were observed in terms of UI-QoL immediately after intervention. Within-groups differences were observed between baseline to 3 months follow-up and between post-intervention to 3 months follow-up in AEPPI group (p < 0.05) for UI-QoL and UI impact. UI symptoms were improved in both groups between baseline to 3-months follow-up (p < 0.05). Patient's satisfaction was higher in the AEPPI group (p < 0.05). The addition of postural instructions to an abdominopelvic exercise programimproves UI impact to QoL and patients' satisfaction in women with SUI

THE EFFECTS OF OFFERING KING GRASS (Pennisetum purpupoides) AND CORN STOVER ON NDF AND ADF DIGESTIBILITY OF MALE ONGOLE CROSS BREED STEER CALVES. A research evaluating the effects of offering king grass (Pennisetum purpupoides) and corn stover as feed ingredients on NDF and ADF digestibility of male ongole cross breed steer calves. This study used five male ongole calf weighing ± 100 kg. Latin Square design consisting of 5 treatments was used. The treatments were the ratio between the king grass and corn stover; R1 = 100% king grass, R2 = 75% king grass + 25% corn stover, R3 = 50% king grass + 50% corn stover, R4 = 25% king grass + 75% corn stover and R5 = 100% corn stover. The variables measured were digestibility of NDF and ADF. The results of analysis of variance showed that there were highly significant effects (P 0.05), while there were no significant different between R4 and R5 (P>0.05). Tukey test on ADF digestibility showed that there were no significant different among R1 (49.2%), R2 (58.03%), R3 (56.09%), and R4 (59.79%) (P >0.05), however R1 was significantly lower than R5 (65.32%) (P>0.05). There were no significant difference among R2 to R3, R4 and R5 (P>0.05). It can be concluded that biological value (NDF and ADF digestibility) of corn stover is higher compared to king grass.
