Minimal hepatic encephalopathy is associated with motor vehicle crashes: the reality beyond the driving test.

29 Sep 2009 Patients with minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) have impaired driving skills, but association of MHE with motor vehicle crashes is unclear. Standard psychometric tests (SPT) or inhibitory control test (ICT) can be used to diagnose MHE. The aim ... Read more...

Higher cumulative doses of erythropoietin and developmental outcomes in preterm infants.

26 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that higher cumulative doses of recombinant erythropoietin (rEPO) for extremely preterm infants during the first 6 postnatal weeks would improve developmental outcomes, as evidenced in evaluations with the Bayley Scales of ... Read more...

Efficacy of interventions to improve motor development in young children: a systematic review.

5 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to systematically review evidence from controlled trials on the efficacy of motor development interventions in young children. METHODS: A literature search of interventions was conducted of 14 electronic ... Read more...
