Influence of parental alcohol/substance abuse on methadone maintenance therapy (MMT) outcome was examined in 164 DSM-III-R opioid dependent adults with no other current DSM Axis I disorder. Family history positive patients had more DSM-III-R opioid depend
Aqueous protein solutions have dynamic surface properties that are found to depend on the experimental technique by which they are measured. Especially aqueous solutions of globular proteins have dynamic surface properties that are sensitive for the histo
Purpose: We describe the presenting symptoms, evaluation and natural history of urethrorrhagia in boys. Materials and Methods: The records of 27 consecutive toilet trained boys with idiopathic urethrorrhagia were retrospectively reviewed for information r
The family history method in psychiatric family studies is an important and necessary way of obtaining information on family members who are not available for personal interview. Studies on the validity of this method have shown that family history inform
