This is the first article of a four-part series on gerontology and its applications to the care of elderly patients in nuclear medicine. The series includes discussions about the theories of aging, approaches to meeting the special needs of the elderly and ethical dilemmas in caring for the elderly. It also reviews anatomical and physiological changes associated with aging and the role of nuclear medicine studies in caring for the elderly. Upon completion of this article, the reader should be able to: (a) describe the aging U.S. population by citing demographic data; (b) identify the theories of aging and distinguish their major characteristics; (c) differentiate a gerontologic approach from a geriatric approach in caring for the elderly; and (d) recognize factors important to the delivery of effective care for the elderly. 相似文献

A new theoretical framework, executive-process interactive control (EPIC), is introduced for characterizing human performance of concurrent perceptual-motor and cognitive tasks. On the basis of EPIC, computational models may be formulated to simulate multiple-task performance under a variety of circumstances. These models account well for reaction time (RT) data from representative situations such as the psychological refractory-period procedure. EPlC's goodness of fit supports several key conclusions: (a) At a cognitive level, people can apply distinct sets of production rules simultaneously for executing the procedures of multiple tasks; (b) people's capacity to process information at "peripheral" perceptual-motor levels is limited; (c) to cope with such limits and to satisfy task priorities, flexible scheduling strategies are used; and (d) these strategies are mediated by executive cognitive processes that coordinate concurrent tasks adaptively.

Synthetic human C-peptide bearing a Tyrosine group at its amino end is labelled with 125iodine using chloramin T or hydrogen peroxide and lactoperoxidase. The results are compared applying both methods. Antiserum to synthetic human C-peptide (without Tyrosine) which was partially compared to rabbit albumin, is raised in guinea pigs and goats. Goats show to be superior to guinea pigs concerning antibody production. The so-called "hook effect" phenomenon is observed in setting up the standard curves for the radioimmunoassay. Monotonically decreasing standard curves are obtained on dilution of antiserum with a high antibody titer which was produced by repeated immunization in goats. Free C-peptide and C-peptide bound to antiserum are separated with the anxion exchange resin Amberlite. Using this separation technique we excluded unspecific binding of labelled C-peptide to protein fractions in serum of diabetics. The sensitivity of our radioimmunoassay is approx. 0.3 ng C-peptide/ml serum. Intra- and interassay variability are below 10%. Human proinsulin is the only substance found to crossreact with the antiserum. 相似文献

Directional solidification experiments have been carried out in a succinonitrile-5.5 mol pct acetone system to characterize
dendrite tip radius and interdendrite spacings as functions of growth rate and temperature gradient in the liquid. A maximum
in primary dendrite spacing as a function of growth rate is observed, and this maximum is found to occur at the dendrite-cellular
transition velocity. A scaling law is shown to exist between the secondary dendrite arm spacing, λ2, near the tip and the dendrite tip radius, p, which is λ2/ρ = 2.2 ± 0.3. Experimental results on ρ have been found to agree with the theoretical model based on the marginal stability
criterion.
This paper is based on a presentation made at the symposium “Establishment of Microstructural Spacing during Dendritic and
Cooperative Growth” held at the annual meeting of the AIME in Atlanta, Georgia on March 7, 1983 under the joint sponsorship
of the ASM-MSD Phase Transformations Committee and the TMS-AIME Solidification Committee. 相似文献

Solidification of undercooled Ni-25 wt pct Sn alloy was observed by high-speed cinematography and results compared with optical
temperature measurements. Samples studied were rectangular in cross-section, and were encased in glass. Cinematographic measurements
were carried out on samples undercooled from 68 to 146 K. These undercoolings compare with a temperature range of 199 K from
the equilibrium liquidus to the extrapolated equilibrium solidus. At all undercoolings studied, the high-speed photography
revealed that solidification during the period of recalescence took place with a dendrite-like front moving across the sample
surface. Spacings of the apparent “dendrite” were on the order of millimeters. The growth front moved at measured velocities
ranging from 0.07 meters per second at 68 K undercooling to 0.74 meters per second at 146 K undercooling. These velocities
agree well with results of calculations according to the model for dendrite growth of Lipton, Kurz, and Trivedi. It is concluded
that the coarse structure observed comprises an array of very much finer, solute-controlled dendrites. 相似文献

Prediction of equilibrium and metastable phase formation for a particular system, after cooling from the liquid state, is
possible by the development of afreezing diagram. the freezing diagram is constructed by consideration of kinetic as well as thermodynamic factors. The kinetic factors divide
the diagram into three zones. These are: (1) where long-range diffusion can occur; (2) where short-range diffusion only is
possible; and (3) where no significant diffusion is possible in the liquid ahead of the solid-liquid interface. The solid-liquid
interface temperature,T
1
, determines which diffusion process occurs.T

is the vertical axis of the diagram plotted against composition. the microstructure that results is predicted by the thermodynamic
possibilities in each kinetic zone. In the first zone, the equilibrium phase diagram is applicable. The second zone only allows
massive transformations to single-phase structures, and their limits are defined byT
o
lines. The third zone is below the glass transition temperature, and any liquid retained to this zone is quenched-in and
becomes a glass. The development, significance, and limitations of the freezing diagram are discussed. 相似文献

Forging limits in a discontinuously reinforced aluminum (DRA) matrix composite, 2014 Al/15 vol pct A1-2O-3, were determined by compressing samples of various cylindrical geometries under different conditions of temperature, strain
rate, and lubrication and measuring the limit strains attained prior to incipient crack formation. In some cases, circumferential
grids were machined on the sample surface to obtain the local fracture strain states. Crack formation was caused by the secondary
tensile stresses; however, crack propagation was relatively slow and somewhat more severe at 300 °C than at 400 °C. The forging
limit of the composite was found to be higher at 400 °C than at 300 °C and also higher at slower strain rates. The plane-strain
forging limit of the composite at 300 °C and a strain rate of 0.5 s”1 was less than 0.05, while that of the matrix was higher
than 0.5. It was found that the forging limits can be influenced by the depth of the circumferential grids and can be lower
than those for the smooth surface samples.

In this two-part series we review the acquired scalp alopecias. A broad spectrum of diseases result in alopecia. In this first part we provide a framework for the assessment and diagnosis of scalp hair loss, and begin covering the individual conditions. The non-scarring alopecias covered include effluvium, androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, trichotillomania, and loose anagen syndrome. The scarring alopecias cause permanent pilosebaceous follicle loss; the lymphocyte-associated scarring alopecia described encompasses lichen planopilaris, discoid lupus erythematosus, pseudopelade, and follicular mucinosis. Part II will cover the neutrophil-associated and infiltrative processes causing scarring alopecia followed by the medical management of alopecia. There is particular reference to newly described conditions and progress in the understanding of older conditions. More recently characterized conditions include the loose anagen syndrome, chronic telogen effluvium, and the frontal fibrosing variant of lichen planopilaris. 相似文献

Five nitro musk compounds widely used in cosmetics and detergents were examined for DNA-damaging and mutation-inducing properties. For this purpose two short-time assays were used, the SOS chromotest and the Salmonella/mammalian microsome test. Musk ambrette showed mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 requiring metabolic activation by rat liver postmitochondrial supernatant (S9) but it lacked mutagenicity in the absence of S9 and genotoxicity in the SOS chromotest. Musk xylene, musk ketone, musk moskene and musk tibetene showed neither mutagenicity nor genotoxicity in the presence and absence of S9. 相似文献

An Al-4.1 mass pct Cu alloy was unidirectionally solidified under various growth rates. Features, such as tip radius of curvature,
primary arm spacing, and tip concentration were measured as functions of growth rate. Dependence of tip radius on growth rate
was different between cells and dendrites. Measured tip radius and primary arm spacing were maximum at the cellular-dendritic
transition. Tip concentration, however, monotonously decreases with growth rate. Linear relationships between tip radius and
characteristic dimensions of dendrites like core diameter, half length of tip arc, and the first secondary arm spacing are
obtained to determine what affects growth rate, convection, and gravity segregation. Experimental results are compared with
current theoretical models for dendrite growth under controlled solidification. It was determined that the measured tip radius
is larger than that of theoretical predictions at fast growth rate, but the measured tip concentration is in good agreement
with theoretical predictions. 相似文献

The relationship between culture (circumscribed by race, ethnicity, country of origin, language, and/or social class) and test session behavior (TSB) on group and individual tests of intelligence and/or achievement is evaluated with respect to the quality of evidence offered in support of knowledge claims. Four relevant categories in the literature are identified: (1) speculative theories, (2) studies of standardized measures of test session behavior, (3) TSB experimental research, and (4) research in cross-cultural test development. In Part I of a two-part series, key literature from the first two categories is reviewed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) 相似文献

The control of arsenic is important in oxidation roasting and leaching of cobaltite. Oxidation roasting below 823 K did not
show any crystal structural change in cobaltite, but heating to 923 K yielded Co-As-oxide, whose composition is varied. Direct
oxidation of cobaltite to cobalt oxides with traces of arsenic was observed by roasting at 1023 K or above. The distribution
of arsenic within the particles gradually decreased from the outer region to the center of the particles. The arsenic concentration
within the particles decreased with the increase of temperature, suggesting temperature dependence on arsenic removal from
the lattice of cobaltite. In this article, the process mineralogy of the oxidation of cobaltite is presented at various temperatures.
The results from X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, reflected light microscopic analysis, and scanning electron microscopic
analysis of the roasted cobaltite concentrates together with a rationalized thermodynamic analysis are presented. 相似文献

Hypoglycemia in the neonate remains a common problem. The association of low blood glucose concentrations and abnormal development has prompted extensive research into the anticipation, evaluation, and treatment of neonatal hypoglycemia. Glucose homeostasis in the fetus and neonate is a developmentally regulated dynamic process involving a number of intricate physiologic mechanisms. In addition, the determination of glucose concentrations is dependent upon both the type of tissue analyzed and the limitations of the specific method employed. The complexity of glucose metabolism makes it difficult to precisely define "normal" and "abnormal" glucose levels in preterm and term neonates. 相似文献

A model is presented to compute the electromagnetic force fields and fluid flow fields in electromagnetic stirring of continuously
cast strands with rectangular cross-section. The model involves the solution of the Maxwell equations, the Navier-Stokes equations,
and the transport equations for the turbulence characteristicsk and e. The procedure of depth-averaging is applied in the treatment of several three-dimensional flows. Experiments were
performed to check the computations using mercury as fluid. The spatial distribution of the magnetic induction and of the
force density was determined for the laboratory inductor used in the stirring experiments. The flow velocity was measured
photographically or with a drag probe, respectively. The agreement between experimental and theoretical data was found to
be within 25 pct. It is concluded that the theory is sufficiently reliable to predict the flow fields in electromagnetic stirring
of steel strands. In Part II of this paper the model is applied to analyze stirring situations in continuous casting of steel.

In this article we present data suggesting that one core deficit in personality represents a common dimension extending across most categories of personality disorders (PDs), whereas clinically discrete syndromes classified as PDs in DSM IIIR are categorical maladaptive types related orthogonally to the common borderline dimension. In a sample of 121 subjects with PDs and 67 controls, persons with PDs and without PDs manifested similar profiles on the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI) scales for various behavior styles. Conversely, the two groups consistently differed with respect to the MCMI borderline scale: in contrast to non-PD persons, those with PDs were strikingly more borderline and typically scored above 75 points (the latter has been established as the cut off for the diagnosis of Borderline PD). Likewise, persons with PDs scored significantly higher on the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines than the control group. These results suggest that: i) most symptoms usually considered typical of the borderline personality characterize other PDs as well; ii) borderline features seem to be characteristic of persons with PDs and can be used to distinguish PDs vs. non-PDs. Therefore, symptoms widely regarded as typical of the borderline personality characterize other PDs as well. This shared dimension may explain the overlap in categorical diagnoses of individual PDs. Moreover, this shared dimension may be efficiently used as the classificatory principle for PDs. In Part II of this article, we present a model that classifies deviant behaviors in a systematic way, i.e., combines three levels of functioning (normal, neurotic, and borderline) with a limited number of categories of (mal) adaptive behavior types. 相似文献
