Clinical study of the use of Photodynamic Detection (PDD) in assessing suspicious oral lesions
Photodynamic Detection (PDD) is a diagnostic technique involving administration of a photosensitizer to the targeted cells that can be stimulated by short wavelength light which then leads to emission of light at a different wavelength (lower energy). The light emitted by the cells can be detected …

Overlapping phenotypes - a clinical and magnetic resonance imaging investigation of schizotypy and pervasive developmental disorders in adolescents with cognitive impairment
… bases of pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) and schizotypy are not well established. In addition there are clinical overlaps between the two which can make diagnostic determination difficult. The primary aim of this thesis was to explore the relationship between PDD and schizotypy by …

Does the Nonverbal Learning Disabilities (NLD) Scale distinguish between subtypes of pervasive developmental disorder?
… subtypes of pervasive developmental disorder (PDD): (1) high functioning autism (HFA), (2) Asperger syndrome (AS) and (3) pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS). This was done in order to investigate recent findings that the NLD neuropsychological profile is …

Spectral efficiency optimization with channel state information of a massive MIMO System
… an algorithm called penalty dual decomposition (PDD) is proposed for these problems. The PDD is a double-loop iterative algorithm that has a guaranteed convergence to Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution of the hybrid precoding problem under a mild assumption. The KKT solution supports the …

Evaluation of Package Delivery Truck Drivers: Task Analysis and Development/Validation of an Objective Visual Behavior Measure to Assess Performance
The job of a package delivery driver (PDD) is complex and demanding. These drivers must possess many skills in order to succeed in their work, including physical stamina, appropriate decision-making, positive customer interaction, and most importantly, operational safety. Companies must use …

Developing an interactive social-emotional toolkit for autism spectrum disorders
… Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS), the target groups for the intervention, as well as for persons with Asperger's Syndrome (AS). The iSET intervention was tested with a group of AD/PDD-NOS participants (n=20) with mean age 22.7 ± 8.55 years; these students were divided into …

Dementia Subtypes, Cognitive Decline and Survival Among Older Adults Attending a Memory Clinic in Cape Town, South Africa: A Retrospective Study
… 5(3%) Parkinson disease-associated dementia (PDD), 3(1.8%) fronto-temporal dementia, 4(2.4%) mixed dementia and 6(3.6%) other types of dementia. The average annual decline in MMSE points was 2.2(DLB/PDD), 2.1(AD) and 1.3(VND). Cognitive scores at baseline were significantly lower in patients …

Role of Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Channels in Nociception
… and 4alpha-phorbol 12, 13-didecanoate (4alpha-PDD)-induced TRPV4 response were observed in a proportion of the same DRG neurons, suggesting their co-expression. Incubation of DRG neurons with phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDBu), a PKC activator, resulted in a significantly greater potentiation of …
