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
This essay addresses the question of blending natural history and ecological wisdom into the genuine creativity exemplified by Prof. Ramon Margalef. Many have observed that modem biology is a triumph of precision over accuracy, and that ecology has sought
Background: Family studies of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have given inconsistent results to date. Identifying predisposing factors in PTSD compared to anxiety disorders may help to clarify the classification of PTSD as a diagnostic entity. Meth
In his seminal 1954 paper on the 'population consequences of life history phenomena', Cole noted that 'these computations may have practical value in dealing with valuable or noxious species'. In the present paper, the question is asked: 'is research
Three Chilean-writer-Jose Rodriguez Elizondo, Jose Leandro Urbina, and Alberto Fuguet - have confronted the need to construct alternative histories in an effort to circumvent revisionist history. these writers place their narratives primarily within thr c
Land histories originate in multiple disciplines. The corpus of this research, however. does not link well to the science of global environmental change, despite explicit recognition by that science to incorporate land history. History acid global change
There is a common methodology to reminiscence and life review with older people and oral history, and yet very little common literature. The distinguishing characteristics of these approaches are described and three areas of work are featured: interrogati
Most models about the evolutionary interactions between a parasite's virulence and its host's life history neglect two potentially important aspects: epidemiological and coevolutionary feedback. We emphasize their importance by presenting models that de
The history of eating disorders in Norway is described in four phases: (1) early case histories of eating disorder symptoms in the late 19th century Norwegian medical literature, (2) the pioneers of the post-World War 2 decades, (3) the 1980s when eating
Patellar instability is a common source of anterior knee pain among young, active individuals, and is more common in females than in males. There is usually an underlying malalignment of the lower extremity, which may contribute to the patient's complain
Laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate life-history reactions of Daphnia to trimethylamine (TMA), a substance, which has recently been found to induce a similar phototactic reaction in Daphnia as fish kairomones. The effects of different t
Since 1876, developments in nutritional science have followed those in chemistry, physiology; biochemistry and medicine. The essential relationship between food and bud), energy has been elucidated. The aetiology of diseases long known in human history ha
The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a major stabilizer of the knee. It is a structure that can be injured both in high-energy situations (eg, road traffic accidents) and in low-energy environments such as sporting injuries. The PCL can be torn in iso
Although empirical and theoretical studies suggest that climate influences the timing of life-history events in animals and plants, correlations between climate and the timing of events such as egg-laying, migration or flowering do not reveal the mechanis
Background Self-reported work histories can be critical for both epidemiologic and clinical purposes. However; the complexity of some work histories, such as those of migrant farm workers, can hamper recall, resulting in inaccurate reporting. Memory aids
