TL;DR: Double sampling plans have been used to determine sample sizes for the conduct of a preliminary and a follow-up trial of a new drug.

TL;DR: In what case do you like reading so much? What about the type of the experiments in hearing book? The needs to read? Well, everybody has their own reason why should read some books.

TL;DR: Performances of two autistic children were recorded in an experimental environment consisting of vending machines delivering food and candy, a trained pigeon, a phonograph, a color kaleidoscope, and a pinball machine to demonstrate the normal effect of two schedules of reinforcement and develop the coin as a generalized reinforcer.

TL;DR: It was found that neither Negroes nor those born in Puerto Rico, two major population groups, were significantly more or less commonly found in the case than in the control groups, and significant differences were found whether the cases were compared with the members of the total control group or with age- and sex-matched members of both groups.

TL;DR: The risk of death during periods of active disease has not changed during the past 10 years and the improved survival can be attributed directly to the duration of the hematologic responses resulting from chemotherapy.

TL;DR: The frequency rates of secondary amenorrhea when examined epidemiologically appear to be quantitatively related to separation from home and family and to the extent of the threat associated with such separation.

TL;DR: No obvious increase in exposure from foods or fluids during the past 20 years was demonstrated, although airborne lead has probably increased, and lead in human tissues is probably not an essential element.

TL;DR: Results are interpreted to indicate that blood pressure responsiveness may be more specifically conditioned by certain intrinsic determinants than by the nature of the emotional stimulus.

TL;DR: It is speculated that postpartum psychoses are primarily of somatic rather than psychic origin, and likely as a consequence of less favorable gestational environment.

TL;DR: The quantification of the efficiency of screening tests for diabetes mellitus as case-finding procedures in terms of sensitivity and specificity is limited to this paper.

TL;DR: The comparison of goiter with thyrotoxicosis indicates a highly significant correlation that strongly supports the hypothesis that endemic goiter is an important factor in the pathogenesis of thyrotoxicityosis, and does not provide convincing evidence for the existence of an association between these two diseases.

TL;DR: The authors may not be able to make you love reading, but blood diseases of infancy and childhood will lead you to love reading starting from now, and reading will give you the kindness.

TL;DR: It has been shown experimentally that starvation and the feeding of certain pharmacologically active substances, such as thyroxine and dinitrophenol, affect adversely the staphylococcal disease patient.

TL;DR: Comparison with population studies elsewhere leads to the conclusion that Bahamian Negroes resemble Negroes elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere andBahamian white persons resemble white people in other geographic locations in regard to blood pressure.

TL;DR: The preponderance of the data indicates that myocardial decompensation is only rarely, if ever, a consequence of hypothyroidism, and the need for a critical re-evaluation defined.

TL;DR: Analysis of data from two representative, random samples of student work-ups during the Spring semesters of 1959 and 1960 suggest the value of developing and improving the efficiency of techniques in an ambulatory clinic which may be used to evaluate the quality of care being given.

TL;DR: The failure of the dystrophic child to develop dominant modes of conscious attitudes and adequate controls over behavior, in favor of seesawing and impulsive responses, may be understood in terms of reactions to the illness and its consequences.

TL;DR: It was found that deanol, chlordiazepoxide, and mephnoxalone were not effective in favorably modifying behavior in retarded children, and there was suggestive evidence that fluphenazine resulted in improved behavior without producing signs of toxicity.

TL;DR: Among 120 thoroughly examined patients with cerebral palsy there were 16 children (8 families) with near relatives affected; in 5 of the families consanguinity of the parents was found.

TL;DR: This pilot study attempted objective description of certain aspects of autistic children's speech production, language comprehension, and relationship to the environment for each of the three areas and found that data could be quantified in tabular form to indicate trends in the behavior of these children.

TL;DR: It is hoped that through recognition of this disorder early in its course and appreciation of therapeutic alteration of the disease picture, a better understanding of this condition can be reached.
